THE SEASON OF FINDING FAMILY & FIGHTING FOR THE FAMILY

THE SEASON OF FINDING FAMILY & FIGHTING FOR THE FAMILY

THE SEASON OF FINDING FAMILY & FIGHTING FOR THE FAMILY

Remnant, I have a word from the Lord's heart to encourage you... 


For the last few months, I have sensed that God is getting people into place for new assignments and positions. I saw the sudden bursting at the seams of innovation, strategies, and movements to be birthed that have started to erupt after such a battle season of contention and delay.

I have felt the urgency of the hour to begin to build and counteract the demonic games at play in the earth and the desire of the Lord to send His shakers and ground breakers into the hardest mission fields where few dare to go. We are at a new foundational stage as the army gathers. I see them springing up from the woodwork of life. Many who used to follow the "sheep-herd" are now following the Shepherd and have begun their awakening quest to the frontlines.

I have felt this... but the more I peer into this space with the Lord the greater clarity I am seeing of this “deeper” layer and the focus on God's heart, and that is what I want to speak into.

THE WAR OF THE HOUR IS AT THE DOORSTEP OF HOMES
Assignments are waiting,
yes! 

Blueprints are ready, yes! 

Purpose is being awoken, yes! 

But what is the main focus of the Lord's heart?

What is this foundation that joins all of these together?

FAMILY…

Because this move of God right now,
which is in its infancy, is... FAMILY!

And it’s going to start with families on the frontlines.
Why? Because the war of the kingdom of darkness right now is against the family.

It's been raging to continue aborting and killing our most vulnerable in the womb, desensitizing us, and telling us it’s ok. It’s been raging to destroy God-given identity and to increase gender confusion. It’s been raging to increase the destruction of marriages and violence in the home. It’s been waging to expose children to evil and convince them it’s good, and it’s been raging to remove the FATHER from the picture altogether and send the world into dysfunction and chaos.

PRESERVED & PROTECTED FOR A PURPOSE
It’s been warring to silence and censor the TRUTH of God's heart, morals, and design. And it’s raging to get the Church to lay down its sword so it doesn’t continue to stand and defend it. That’s how the world looks right now, but that’s only part of the picture.
A REMNANT—a set-aside people—has been prepared for this very moment. No, you weren’t left out and cast aside, you were PROTECTED & PRESERVED for this hour!

You have been set apart to be the rudder of the ship leading the Church into Her correct course, guiding the way, exposing the counterfeit, and revealing the true heart of the Father to the nations.

You have been called to bring Jesus amidst the confusion, where culture has crept into the pulpit. Where evil is being called good, you are the standard. Where the family is being torn to shreds, you stand in the gap and lead your family well. Where injustices are being swept under the carpet, you are the weights and balances. Where nations are falling by the wayside, you have a voice and God has reserved you and preserved you for a role and influence in this hour of history.

Micah 5:8 says;

“The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, 

in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,

like a young lion among flocks of sheep,

which mauls and mangles as it goes,
and no one can rescue.”


EMERGING FROM THE MESS & METAMORPHOSIS
Remnant… oh Remnant, you have been born for such a time as this! Like Esther who separated herself to purify herself, surrendered her ideals and motives to the threshing floor, and picked up the fiery baton of the King's mandate of the hour. I see you and you look beautiful.

I have seen you wrestle this process through the mess of this season. I have seen you fall on your knees a thousand times and want to give up on the hard road you have walked. I have seen you die a hundred deaths in the fires of adversity and persecution. I have seen you enter the cocoon of the Lord's refinery and emerge with new wings. New at first and feeling unsure and still remembering the pain of the past season but carrying new wings nonetheless. Do you feel them yet? No? You soon will.

You have been in the deepest metamorphosis of your life so far—
prepared for a divine purpose that is about to be revealed—and all around you are others who have been prepared for this very same thing.

THE JOB REMNANT
Now let me address the ones who felt like they died in this past season.

Yes, you! I see you!

The Lord has NOT forgotten you!

I saw you with nothing left yet still hanging onto the threads of Jesus’ garment. I know you have faced countless nights enduring the tormenting voice of the enemy screaming at you to give up and retreat, and you wanted to, but you knew the cost. You knew what was at stake so you stood. Against all odds, you stood.

Remnant, I know the process you have been through. I know it felt final. I know it meant closure on many things that you didn’t understand. I know the door slammed shut and it caught you by surprise. Those people that you wanted to come with you into the cocoon but they just weren’t ready to come. They just weren’t at that place and you can’t beat yourself up over it anymore. In fact, if you continued with them you would have been unequally yoked and sent further into bondage.

I saw the
COST of this season has been more than all your life’s warfare combined. I know many of you faced endless locusts and plagues and even felt abandoned by God. “Job," you said. "I feel like Job! But Lord you restored Job so many times over! Will you do the same for me?” 


And I hear 2 Samuel 22:25;


“Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before His eyes”.


There will be a RECOMPENSE! In this move of the Spirit, begin to expect the places of your own family devastation and broken promises to live again. God is moving corporately with His remnant to see the waste places raised up again!

THE EAGLES NEST ARE SPRINGING UP & LONE RANGERS ARE FINDING THEIR TRIBE
There is something special and unique, and
UNEXPECTED that is taking place right now. We have all felt this for years and have felt the pull to press in for and pioneer community in ways we haven’t seen, but RIGHT NOW is a very strategic moment in that process.

Eagle's nests are springing up.

Homes are becoming gathering places for more than prayer nights and bible studies.

People are coming together to discuss their mission plans.

The eagle's nests are forming and they will
NOT look like the eagle's nests of old. They will not be breeding grounds for man's ways parading as God's. Nor will they be barracks for soldiers forming to carry out a mission, but they will be home bases for the eagles to find rest, family, and refreshing. They will be places to be encouraged, armed, equipped, and sent back out! 

I feel like those who have been long-term lone rangers, God is speaking to you the most right now. Your paradigm is changing quickly. You left those people because they bullied and shut you down. They rejected you and alienated you and tried to prevent you from your calling. I get it. 

The Lone Ranger life is safer and less drama but the loneliness has become a wounding to you in this past year—like a deep-stabbing sorrow in your heart that you can’t seem to escape.

Let me tell you the very crux of this word and why I am delivering it to you right now... 


You are the Remnant, the set aside one. Not the rejected, the forgotten, or the passed over—let that lie fall off you right now. You are a carrier of something precious, so precious in fact that few could fathom or understand it. You are a fragrance in the Lord's hand and those unaccustomed to the scent did not accept you. 

BUT... Remnant…. YOUR LONELY ISOLATION DAYS ARE OVER BECAUSE I SEE YOUR TRIBE RUNNING TO YOU!

THE SYNDICATE & COMPANY OF THE KNITTED HEARTS

We are in a season that is an important part of any militant process, it’s the Lord aligning His regiment. The Church has been out of order and open to attack but the remnant, the 300, Gideon’s army, or however many they may be, are coming into formation. That is where we are at:


  • It’s the sudden detaching from the relational alignments you were in.
  • It’s the sudden pulling away from a direction you were going in.
  • It’s the sudden lift of grace from an affiliation that there was once grace on.
  • It’s the sudden knitting of hearts with people you didn’t expect or imagine.
  • It’s suddenly being surrounded by like-minded and equally yoked people.
  • It's the suddenly of things that didn’t connect before, connecting and clicking, because of the new alignments.
  • It’s their grace coming upon you and opening the door you needed to be opened. Why? Because only family does that and that’s where we are going.


Moses needed people to hold up his arms in battle and you need that too in this next season. Alone you fell on your face too many times but this next season, Remnant, you will have people holding you up and carrying you over the finish line!

At a friend's ministry event recently I kept seeing the word
“SYNDICATE” which means; An association of people formed to promote a common interest or carry out a common goal.

What is our common goal? To exalt the name of Jesus in the earth and usher in the
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!

It’s Isaiah 61—it’s setting the captives free.

It’s being the voices of TRUTH in this time of counterfeits.

It’s choosing the narrow road when the mega highway of apathy and cultural selling-out opens up.

It’s realizing that the mountains of influence have been hijacked by imposters and we need to take them back!

We are the ones standing at the breach and broadcasting the Truth to those who a veiled and in bondage! This is who we are. 

Well done for standing. 

Well done for keeping your course.

After I heard the word "
SYNDICATE" I saw a vision of many components coming together, like different mechanical cogs and pieces all flying in from left and right. They were all pieces that wouldn’t normally fit together but to my amazement, they did!

This is the time when the remnant needs to unite—join forces. Brands and empires need to take a back seat to brotherhood, and the cause has to be one voice. We need to lay down the competition and take down the giants in the land or there will not be a future for the generations to come.

Remnant, your tribe is coming and it will be
MAGNETIC...

They won’t despise you, they will be drawn to you!

They won’t compete with you, they will pour into you!

Remnant, find your people, open that space, prepare that table, and let’s RUN together!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

By Nate Johnston April 23, 2025
I have a prophetic word for those who have grown up under the demonic agenda of Jezebel, and for those raised in narcissistic environments and battled it their entire lives. Yes, the spirit of Jezebel has always had a target on your back because of who you are... Like Agent Smith from The Matrix, Jezebel keeps showing up, manifesting through different people, personalities, seasons, assignments, and alignments to take you out. It’s been the greatest battle of your life: figuring out how to steward your calling, how to be a voice in the midst of relentless attacks and constant attempts to cancel your calling. This spirit has tried to silence you, shut down your voice, reject you, belittle you, isolate you, and keep you in a cave. She’s tempted you to sugarcoat your words, dilute your message, and shrink your fire so you didn’t keep getting in her cross fire. I know the price many of you have paid for pioneering through this—for choosing health for your families, your marriages, and your future. I know the cost of refusing to tolerate her, season after season, and what you’ve walked through for the sake of not giving up on your calling. But in the hardest moments, you chose legacy again and again, yet it’s been costly. Recently, I was praying into this, especially in my own life, because I’ve battled this spirit for as long as I can remember, I asked the Lord, “Will it always be this way? Will I always have to fight Jezebel?” As I was reading through 1 Kings 19 - 2 Kings 10, the Lord highlighted the story of Jehu, the one who took out Jezebel (2 Kings 9:30–37). And the Lord said: “You are the Jehu. This generation is the Jehu generation, rising to confront and take out this spirit.” But here’s the thing: Jehu overthrew Jezebel, but he didn’t reform the land. “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord… he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam…” 2 Kings 10:31 He overthrew the person, but not the pattern. He tore down the idol, but didn’t restore the altar. He left a void, and that void became an open door. Right now, the test of our generation isn’t just about calling out what’s wrong. It’s about restoring the priesthood, rebuilding the altar, and leading the Church back into true worship. Because without worship, Jezebel returns. I’ve seen it in dreams repeatedly, Jezebel overthrown, only to be welcomed back through broken, unhealed, and unprotected spaces. Because where there is no priesthood, no purity, and no presence, she comes back to rule. So I asked the Lord, “What is the key?” He said: “Joash.” The name Joash means “The Lord has given.” The Lord said: “The generation of Joash and Jehoiada is now upon you.” Here’s what that means: Jehu may have exposed Jezebel but it was Joash and Jehoiada who removed her legacy. Athaliah, Jezebel’s daughter, rose to power in Judah after Jezebel’s death (2 Kings 11:1–3) . She was a generational extension of her mother’s spirit. But Jehoiada the priest preserved Joash, hiding him in the temple for six years. When the time was right, they overthrew Athaliah in the temple (2 Kings 11:13–16). That was so prophetic because they didn’t just confront the fruit of Jezebel they killed it in the place of worship, as a declaration: “We are taking this place back for the Lord.” They then led a revival of covenant and worship in the land (2 Kings 11:17–18), restoring God’s people to their true identity. And this is the battle we have today. We are not just confronting Jezebel, we are confronting her legacy, her influence, her strongholds in families, marriages, churches, and systems. But we can’t stop at exposure. We must rebuild the altar, restore the presence, and model the priesthood again. But here’s the word for you overcomers - the pioneers, the forerunners, the ones who refused to bow: You are not doomed to fight Jezebel your whole life. God is raising up a Joash generation, sons and daughters the Lord has given who will see and walk in the fruit from your persistence in battle, because you refused to tolerate Jezebel and have prevailed! Now because of you the next generation won’t face what you faced, because you confronted it, took it down, and established healthy! But here’s the key: You must restore your home, your marriage, your inner world into a lifestyle of worship and the right affections. You must refill the void with presence and priesthood. When we do that, we not only evict Jezebel, we close the door for good. And that’s Joash - living in the fruit of victory with no landing pads for the enemy. No more idols. Compromise. Other lovers. Just Jesus again. So the promise over you is this: You’re stepping out of the weariness. You’re stepping out of the endless fight. You’re stepping out of the cave. And you’re stepping into the fruit of obedience. You’re about to see legacy break forth in your children and those around you. You’ve walked through rejection, isolation, intimidation, and endless assassination as this spirit that tried to shut you down at every turn. But you didn’t bow. You didn’t break. And you prevailed. And now the Lord says - You’re stepping out of the fight and into the fruit. Because you chose wholeness over generational dysfunction. Because you confronted what others tolerated. And because you refused to shut down and be walked over. Your children will know peace where you knew warfare. They’ll grow up in safety, freedom, and peace because you tore up the contract you were born into and started a new bloodline. You were the target, but now you have become the testimony.  You’re going to watch a generation walk in peace where you’ve known warfare. Because you chose to fight, they will be free. So in the days to come watch as you begin to see FRUIT where you only encountered the FIGHT because the tide is shifting mighty ones and you have overcome! “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” —1 John 4:4

I want to release a word of faith and authority over you as we begin this week. As I was praying over this week, I kept seeing this image in front of me of a person that was stuck in a corner with no way out, and arrows were flying at them from all sides. I instantly discerned that what I was seeing was someone who had been in a season where they felt very much like their calling had somehow made them feel like they’ve just been through constant assailing by the enemy, with constant arrows from all sides. Thats where you have felt exposed. That’s where you have felt bombarded. You felt like you’ve just been attacked from every single angle. Then I began to really feel like it was similar to the scripture that says: “But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, ‘Restore!’” — (Isaiah 42:22, NIV) I began to feel authority rise up in my voice. I began to feel an authority saying, “No! This is injustice. This cannot happen. This must turn around now!” Then I began to prophesy: “Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus!” As soon as I said that, Deuteronomy 23:5 came to mind, where it says that every curse turns into a blessing. So I began to prophesy: “Lord, every curse will turn into a blessing. Every curse will turn into a blessing. Every single assignment of the enemy will turn into a blessing. Every area of robbery, every area of financial hardship, every area where the enemy has come after finances, after health - God is going to turn it all around.” And that’s when it hit me - THIS IS UNCTION OF A TURNAROUND! It’s the sensing that things had to shift! I began to prophesy: “Turnaround now in the name of Jesus! Turnaround now in the name of Jesus!” As I began to declare this, I began to see things beginning to shift in the atmosphere. Then suddenly I began to hear all this chatter in the spirit of people who had been worn down mentally to the point where they no longer believed that God could turn these situations around. And I suddenly realized the key: God is wanting to shift and turn around situations right now, but the enemy has worn down your authority and your faith to the point that you no longer believe He can do it. Hope deferred has crept in to such a degree that it’s made it feel impossible that God could move. And so I feel that even right now, God is coming against those mindsets. He’s coming against the fear. He’s coming against the intimidation of the army. He’s coming against the hope deferred that constantly makes you feel like nothing will be able to shift or turn around. He is restoring in you a boldness and authority to begin to speak to the things around you and cause them to be removed and those mountains around you to be cast into the sea. And that’s what God is doing this week. He is hitting up against your mind and the foreboding keeping you captive. You’ve been looking at the obstacles you’re facing right now in your finances, health, marriage, and everything else, and they look like mountains. The Lord says, “Where has your faith gone? Where has your authority gone? Where has your boldness gone? I am your protector. I am your provider. I am looking after you and watching over you. Yes, the war has been constant against you. Yes, the enemy has been trying to wear you down. But He says to you “this week, I want you to do what David did - and strengthen yourself in me!” “I want you to step out of the place of faithlessness and cowering, out of begging for the crumbs under the table” “I want you to shift your mindset, and as you shift your mindset, I’ll shift your circumstances!” “Even right now, begin to break every agreement with fear” “Break every agreement with hopelessness and despair that’s caused you to stop dreaming” “It’s caused you to drop your vision in the dust” “It’s caused you to stop wearing your mantle and slip back into survival mode in a time where I want you to thrive and dream with Me” Then I was reminded of something so special to us. Over the years we’ve experienced this strange but beautiful phenomenon in our lives. Whenever we’re in the thick of spiritual warfare, when we feel like we’re being preached at by our circumstances - that’s when God brings us a sign of His nearness. It happens like clockwork. But it’s so simple that you could miss it if you aren’t childlike. We see ducks in twos and they show up in odd places, at odd times. It’s always just when we’re beginning to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s God’s subtle reminder: “I see you. I’m with you. It’s not over.” But this year, on our anniversary, it was different. Two doves appeared on our back fence and they stayed for a full week. It was as if God was saying: “Watch ME turn this around! Not by night nor by power!” And even though we were still in the middle of the storm the breakthrough hadn’t come yet His goodness showed up as a downpayment. Sometimes, the sign isn’t the full breakthrough, but it’s the reminder that He hasn’t forgotten you, and that the turnaround is closer than you think. There are many right now trying to ask God, “Where are my next steps?” but you’re not thinking with faith, you’re thinking with fear. And the Lord says: “It’s time to break that off. I’m reversing everything that’s come against you, and I’m turning it. And some would say, ‘Could this turn in a day?’ Yes, it can turn in a day. And the Lord says “you will watch in this season, as you partner with Me again not with the accuser, not with fear, not with lack but as you choose to partner again with Me, “You will see every single obstacle and every mountain around you crumble into the sea” But you need to partner with Me again. Will you partner again with My Spirit and reject the patterns and mindsets of this world? It is time to step back into a mind-renewal season that actually brings about the shifting of circumstances. Because the fruit of worry is actually causing that which you fear to come to you. But as you shift out of that, It will cause the fruit of your renewed mind to be that you see the kingdom of heaven invade your world, your lifestyle and you’ll see things shift around in a short period of time.” So give me your heart and mind and I’ll turn around the things around you that have tried to do in your strength and failed, and silence the storm”

But He says to you “this week, I want you to do what David did - and strengthen yourself in me!” “I want you to step out of the place of faithlessness and cowering, out of begging for the crumbs under the table” “I want you to shift your mindset, and as you shift your mindset, I’ll shift your circumstances!” “Even right now, begin to break every agreement with fear” “Break every agreement with hopelessness and despair that’s caused you to stop dreaming” “It’s caused you to drop your vision in the dust” “It’s caused you to stop wearing your mantle and slip back into survival mode in a time where I want you to thrive and dream with Me” Then I was reminded of something so special to us. Over the years we’ve experienced this strange but beautiful phenomenon in our lives. Whenever we’re in the thick of spiritual warfare, when we feel like we’re being preached at by our circumstances - that’s when God brings us a sign of His nearness. It happens like clockwork. But it’s so simple that you could miss it if you aren’t childlike. We see ducks in twos and they show up in odd places, at odd times. It’s always just when we’re beginning to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s God’s subtle reminder: “I see you. I’m with you. It’s not over.” But this year, on our anniversary, it was different. Two doves appeared on our back fence and they stayed for a full week. It was as if God was saying: “Watch ME turn this around! Not by night nor by power!” And even though we were still in the middle of the storm the breakthrough hadn’t come yet His goodness showed up as a downpayment. Sometimes, the sign isn’t the full breakthrough, but it’s the reminder that He hasn’t forgotten you, and that the turnaround is closer than you think. There are many right now trying to ask God, “Where are my next steps?” but you’re not thinking with faith, you’re thinking with fear. And the Lord says: “It’s time to break that off. I’m reversing everything that’s come against you, and I’m turning it. And some would say, ‘Could this turn in a day?’ Yes, it can turn in a day. And the Lord says “you will watch in this season, as you partner with Me again not with the accuser, not with fear, not with lack but as you choose to partner again with Me, “You will see every single obstacle and every mountain around you crumble into the sea” But you need to partner with Me again. Will you partner again with My Spirit and reject the patterns and mindsets of this world? It is time to step back into a mind-renewal season that actually brings about the shifting of circumstances. Because the fruit of worry is actually causing that which you fear to come to you. But as you shift out of that, It will cause the fruit of your renewed mind to be that you see the kingdom of heaven invade your world, your lifestyle and you’ll see things shift around in a short period of time.” So give me your heart and mind and I’ll turn around the things around you that have tried to do in your strength and failed, and silence the storm”

I have a word for those who feel like they have come to the end of themselves. The end of direction. The end of their past blueprints and vision. The end of revelation and insight. The end of an old assignment. Maybe even community.. It’s like the wedding at Cana when the wine ran out. The barrels are empty. You feel empty. “God where from here?” “Jesus bring new wine out of me!” But there’s a silence. Almost a sense of being completely alone and even abandoned. It’s the scary place of being in between what was and what is to come. You know the new wine is coming. You know it because you know that’s what God does. But right now, it doesn’t feel like anything is on the horizon and it feels like everything is falling apart. Warfare has increased. Robbery has increased. And with a lack of vision and clarity and direction you feel like you are just “existing” or floating. WAITING for the next step or instruction. Yes, the old wine has ran out. You can’t drive that car anymore. You can’t wear those shoes anymore. You can’t hold onto that tattered jacket anymore. The old won’t sustain you for another day and you can’t bring it with you into tomorrow. Then comes the discontent. “Is this bitterness? “Lord is my heart sick? Am I in rebellion?” “Or is this you leading me somewhere new?” You are looking at the empty wine pots of your life and just feel strangely “used” Burned out. Flat. Exhausted. Old manna rotting on the ground. Trying to reconcile what you gave your life for that has seemingly only led you to this “nothingness” Yes, you ran out with the wine. You died with the last drops. You had to, so He could now do what you couldn’t do. And so he could lead you into a new chapter you would never step into still carrying the old. It’s Jesus in gethsemane crying tears of blood, like they were the last drops of the old way of life. Old mindsets. Old covenants. Dysfunctions. Pain. Trauma. Addictions. Lack. Rejection. Fear. Torment. Knowing He was going to the cross so that the real new wine could be poured out upon the generations to come and break the bondage of the past. Knowing you right now would need a promise and a signpost of Gods goodness when you were experiencing your own “lost” and unknown season. And this resurrection weekend, I know this is a prophetic reminder for those still in a “death” to the old season. SUNDAY IS COMING! I know the second day is painful and confusing. But resurrection is coming. But not the old you. The weighed down you. The new you. The new wine. The new manna. I know you feel like everything has died but on the third day the tomb was found empty! Yes empty is not the sign of death, but of new life coming!!! So today can I invite you with me to give Jesus our last drops of the old? Let’s give him this moment of “in between” Let’s give him our fears, expectations, worries, and mindsets from our last chapter and ask Him for the new wine to start flowing in our lives. The new wine - the blood of Jesus that SPEAKS a better word. That breaks and annuls bad contracts and soul ties and shuts demonic doors. Yes the blood that overrides all! And I prophesy that you will shift from trying to figure this out in your own strength to seeing the new wine break through for you in Jesus name! This weekend Christy and I are taking communion over every one of you and praying for the blood of Jesus over you and your families! Join us! "and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" Hebrews 12:24
