THE COMMISSIONING OF WILD HORSES
This past weekend, I was walking down the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during the Million Women event, when I heard the sound of hooves—galloping, fast, and almost deafening. It was so loud in my spirit that it stopped me in my tracks. As I stood there, I heard the phrase: “Heaven’s gates opened, and the horses were released.”
Just a few days earlier, in a meeting with Lou Engle, he shared about how the Lord had woven all the threads of his life together for this event. Lou said, “This one is different—it’s a mass commissioning service for God’s daughters.” As he spoke, I saw seeds flying out from D.C., scattering across the earth and becoming wildfires. I knew this moment was significant—one of release, calling, and awakening.
This wasn’t my first prophetic encounter in D.C. Years ago, on a trip to Washington, the Lord gave me a dream saying, “Go to the eastern gate of D.C. and pray.” From that moment on, I’ve always seen Washington, D.C., not just as a place of governmental authority, but as a spiritual gateway—a place of intercession, heavenly legislation, and divine release. Psalm 24 says,
“Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.”
But what if these ancient gates are not just places for the King to enter? What if they are also the gates releasing the horses of heaven—wild, unrestrained, and sent on divine assignment?
And now, I say to you—God’s daughters, and the Mordecais standing with them—RUN. Christy and I were sent to D.C. years ago as God’s Lighthorsemen from Australia, joining the fight at America’s doorstep. But now, the time has come for you to rise as the wild horses commissioned for this moment in history. We must rise as God’s wild ones, unrelenting and unstoppable.
God’s horses are wild, uncontainable, and bold, and that is exactly what you were made to be. The gates of heaven have swung open, and you have been commissioned to run. Don’t hold back. Run with abandon, knowing that the fire of the Spirit burns within you. Run, carrying seeds of awakening that will spread across nations.
The time is now. The gates are open. The King of Glory is riding with you. It’s time to chase out Goliath’s brothers, to break the strongholds, and to take back what the enemy has tried to steal. You were born for this moment in history—wild, free, and unstoppable.
So I say to you once more: Run, wild horses. Run. The race ahead is not for the faint of heart, but the King is with you, and the victory is already assured. This is your commissioning. This is your moment.
Now is the time—run.

You are moving mountains the enemy is occupying. Your obedience is shifting spiritual atmospheres, tearing down strongholds, and disrupting the enemy’s plans. You are taking ground the enemy thought he owned. Every step you take is reclaiming territory for the Kingdom of God, advancing into areas the enemy has long held captive. You are moving out of survival into the freedom of the Lord. You are breaking free from cycles of fear, lack, and striving, stepping into the abundant life Jesus promised. You are a threat to the enemy’s plans. The enemy is targeting you because your obedience carries divine strategies that dismantle darkness. You are undergoing promotion and elevation. This season of warfare is preparing you for greater authority and influence. God is refining you for new levels of leadership. You are about to give birth to a new move of God. The intensity you feel is the spiritual labor leading to a release of new life, new vision, and new assignments. The enemy is attacking your voice and confidence because it is powerful. Your words carry heaven’s authority, and the enemy fears what will happen when you speak out in boldness. The mental warfare is designed to distract you from your assignment. Confusion, doubt, and fear are weapons the enemy uses to divert you from the path God has laid out for you. You are on the verge of breakthrough. The enemy’s resistance is often greatest just before the fulfillment of God’s promises. Your breakthrough is imminent. You are being prepared to lead others into freedom. Your battle is not just about you—it’s about the people you are called to deliver and lead into wholeness. The battle is confirmation of your calling. The intensity of opposition reveals the significance of your assignment. You are marked by God for a great purpose. The target on your back is evidence that the enemy sees you as a threat. You are being attacked not because you are failing, but because the enemy knows you carry the power to win. The One who called you is faithful to finish what He started. God is with you in every battle. What He began in you, He will complete. He will see you through to victory. You are increasing in anointing. The pressing you feel is producing new oil—fresh anointing that will empower you to carry greater spiritual authority. You are about to enter a new season of visibility and influence. God is positioning you to be seen and heard in ways you have never experienced before. Your time to shine is near. You are about to build what the enemy has tried to hold back provision on. The resistance against your resources is because what you are building will dismantle darkness. But provision is being released. You are breaking through the ceilings of demonic holds. The limitations the enemy tried to place over you are being shattered. You are rising above the boundaries of fear, oppression, and control You are walking in obedience that terrifies the enemy. Your steps of faith are advancing God’s kingdom and disrupting the enemy’s plans, causing him to panic. You are breaking generational cycles and strongholds. You are confronting spiritual patterns that have held people captive for generations, becoming a pioneer of freedom. You are walking into promises the enemy tried to steal. What the enemy delayed, God is restoring. You are about to claim promises that have been held back. You are being transformed to carry new oil. The process you are in is producing fresh revelation, strength, and anointing for the next season. The enemy is trying to exhaust you so you give up. Fatigue and weariness are his tactics, but God’s grace is sufficient—He will renew your strength. Your mind is under attack because your thoughts shape your future and guide your steps. The enemy knows if he can influence your thinking, he can derail your destiny by leading you off course and creating Ishmaels, but God has given you the mind of Christ. You are facing opposition because your prayers are effective. The enemy fears your intercession because it releases heaven’s will on earth and shifts spiritual atmospheres. You are stepping into a new level of identity and authority. The attacks on your identity are attempts to keep you from fully stepping into who God has called you to be. The attack is proof of your influence in the spiritual realm. Your life carries spiritual weight, and the enemy’s resistance is proof that you are making an impact. God is using the pressure to reveal what cannot stay. The battle is exposing lies and fears that God is purging from your life to make room for His fullness. You are aligning with God’s timing, which the enemy hates. You are stepping into divine timing, and no force in hell can stop what God has ordained for you. The warfare will serve as a testimony to others. What you overcome will become a testimony that strengthens and guides others through their own battles. Hold your ground. The intensity of the warfare is not a sign of defeat but a sign of impending victory. What you carry is worth fighting for, and what God has promised you will come to pass. Stay faithful—breakthrough, provision, and freedom are on the horizon. So as you see the bullseye hovering over you begin to praise God because you are moving and shaking and evicting darkness. KEEP GOING!

Last week I received a warning from the Holy Spirit repeatedly saying, “Do not believe the report right now.” There is so much swirling—governmentally, politically, globally—but there’s also a personal battle against many of you. The enemy knows that if he can crush you with a bad report, it will cause you to shrink back in fear and prevent you from possessing the land that lies ahead. We are in a transition—a shift out of the old wineskin, old methods, and even an old season. Many of you have been transitioning out of assignments, locations, and relationships that have defined you for years. This transition has not only been difficult but, for some, traumatic. Not only because of what you’ve had to leave behind, but because it’s required you to shed long-held mindsets and ways of thinking that no longer serve where God is taking you. This year has been about surrender, forcing you to let go of what you’ve held tightly to over the past five, ten, or even twenty years. This transition is one of deliverance—a season of freedom where God is closing doors that have given the enemy access to rob you. In the midst of this, He is preparing you for increase. God is positioning you for a wide-open space where you can dream and run with Him in ways you’ve never experienced before. This next era is about you co-laboring with the Lord—free from religious control, false agendas, and systems that have kept you bound. But during this transition, the enemy has hit many of you with bad reports. It could be in your health, finances, or family—whatever it is, it’s a tactic of the enemy to distract and crush you, keeping you from crossing into the new space God has for you. The enemy knows that if he can convince you to focus on the bad report, you’ll be tempted to run back to your old place of bondage, simply because it feels safe and familiar. In times of transition, the unknown feels risky, and the temptation is to cling to what we know—even if it’s bondage—because at least it feels stable. But here’s the truth: Do not believe the bad report! These reports are lies from the enemy, smoke and mirrors designed to make you lose sight of what God is doing. They are meant to intimidate you and cause you to waste energy on battles that God has already won. This is not your moment to take the wheel—this is the time to surrender and rest, allowing God to fight on your behalf as He prepares you for the increase ahead. These bad reports are nothing more than false prophecies —poisonous words meant to discourage you, make you feel abandoned, and convince you that your journey with God has been in vain. They are designed to make you retreat, to abandon your calling, and to plant in the wrong land, building an Ishmael instead of the promise. People of God, do not believe the bad report! Right now, I expose these reports for the lies they are. The Lord has called you, and He will sustain you. The enemy has tried to convince you that your pioneering journey has been fruitless, but I break that lie in Jesus’ name. I declare that you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. You will see Him clear away the distractions, expose every lie, and tear up those false reports for what they are—fiction, forged in darkness. Even now, I declare the release of the good report over your life. I prophesy hope, freedom, and breakthrough in Jesus’ name. Father, I ask that You turn around every area the enemy has targeted, and I pray for Your truth, Your increase, and Your promotion to be released over Your people in this hour. Amen. Lord we call forth the GOOD REPORT in Jesus name! “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” — Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)

Dear Pioneers, Honest post - Earlier this year, I felt shipwrecked. Outwardly, you wouldn’t have known—I was still pouring out, but my heart just felt tired. I have always been committed to giving everything to follow Jesus and lead my family in this pioneering journey. But the only way I can explain it is that deep inside, I was worn down and spread thin. Many years ago God asked us to move to the United States, following the call of God across nations, but it wasn’t until we returned to Australia for a trip in April that I slowed down enough to face the reality: I was burnt out. Not from ministry, but from the constant movement—traveling from place to place, house to house, season to season, assignment to assignment. The pioneering life had become a rhythm of relentless transition, with no place of stability, no home, and no grounding community. I longed for rest. I longed for something to settle my soul. But instead, I felt shipwrecked. Shipwrecked: That place where you have followed the Lord’s voice to the best of your ability, but somehow, it feels like it’s led you to a barren shore with nothing in sight. It’s the unsettling realization that despite all your obedience, you feel stranded, exhausted, and unsure if you’ll ever find solid ground again. Maybe you’ve been there, too. The Lord began to speak to me about what it means to be shipwrecked in this way. It’s the place where we are stripped of all we once leaned on. It’s where we confront the brokenness and fatigue of having given everything, yet wondering if it was worth it. But here’s what He also showed me: The shipwreck is not the end—it’s where God revives you and puts a fresh wind in your sails again! Pioneers, I believe many of you are in this same place right now. You’ve been faithful, you’ve sacrificed, you’ve given your “yes” over and over again. But it feels like you’ve reached a point where the waves have carried you to a place you didn’t expect. You feel stranded, weary, and questioning how you got here. But the Lord is saying to you today, “This is not the end. I’m not done with you, and this place is not where your story finishes.” In the wreckage, He is showing you what was never meant to sustain you in the first place. He’s dismantling the crutches of self-reliance, unhealthy alignments, and the illusions of stability that were built on shifting sands. And He is using it to set you free from activity that is burning you out and leading you off course. You may feel empty right now, but this is where He fills you anew. This is the divine pause before the great resurgence. This is where the old mindsets and methods break off, and the raw, pure faith that you’ve been called to as a pioneer rises up. Listen to what He’s saying to you now: You haven’t failed. This feeling of being shipwrecked is the precursor to something greater. I’m stripping away what no longer serves you so I can establish you in a new way. You’re not lost. I am the anchor in this season, and I’m repositioning you for what’s ahead. This place of desolation is actually the place of rebirth. Where you feel abandoned and exhausted, I am pouring out My strength and renewing your vision. Pioneers, the shipwreck is a setup. It’s where everything that was dead weight is left behind, and you emerge lighter, freer, and more aligned with the Spirit of God than ever before. Even now, the Lord is saying, “I’m turning this shipwreck into a launching pad.” You’re not stranded—you’re being set up for a new journey, one where you’ll move with greater purpose, clarity, and authority than ever before. What you thought was lost in the wreckage is actually being restored in ways you cannot yet imagine. It may feel like you’ve been led nowhere, but God is positioning you for something greater. So, take heart. The storm didn’t win. The waves didn’t take you out. And the shipwreck wasn’t your end—it was the beginning of something much bigger. With you on this journey, —Nate

A few nights ago, I had a powerful dream. In the dream, I was laying on the ground, feeling completely exhausted and battered, as if I had been in a battle for years with no victory in sight. Suddenly, I saw a sword coming down over the head of a giant that had been standing in my way—and with one swift move, it took off the giant’s head. As this happened, I heard the words, “IT IS FINISHED!” In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. The battle that I had been fighting for years was over—not by my strength, but by the hand of the Lord. I woke up knowing that God is beheading the giants that have stood in your way for years. The things that have attacked, oppressed, and worn you down are being dealt with—not by your striving, but by His power. I believe many of you are in this same place. You have been battling and fighting, trying to overcome the obstacles that have been in your way. You’ve been worn down, tired, and wondering when the breakthrough will come. The Lord is saying, “This battle belongs to Me." There are battles you are anointed to fight, but there are others that are His to finish—and this is one of those times. He is beheading the giants that have stood in your way for years. The weariness you’ve felt is being lifted. Where you’ve been struggling and striving, you will now see His Victory. Take heart!
