THE TABLES ARE TURNING!

THE TABLES ARE TURNING!

THE TABLES ARE TURNING!

THE TABLES ARE TURNING!


Ever felt like the tide is against you? That it seems like every part of your life is under siege, under fire, and in state of contention when you are trying to move forward? Does it feel like every door that should be opening is delayed as if there are a thousand men holding every way shut? Does it seem like your mind and heart is the target of a million fiery arrows from the enemy trying to take you down? 


In the last few days I’ve felt such a burden of the Lord to pray over those at this specific place so I want to bring encouragement today to those facing opposition in the transition. So If this word resonates with you and one or more of these areas grips your heart please take it and let the power of the Holy Spirit bring you breakthrough as you read it. 


THIS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE INCREASE?!


I woke up early a few mornings ago with a pull of intercession for many who are looking at giant sized obstacles and discouraging outcomes and results in a season that has been prophesied to be marked with birthing and crossing over into promise. 


“God this doesn’t look like the increase you promised?” many are saying who have felt like they have been walking through months of loss and robbery in many different areas. From health, to marriages, financial, and destiny. The signs don’t seem to be pointing to what God has shown you would be taking place and for many a deep discouragement is trying to set in. 


Then as I was praying I saw people holding maps in their hands and looking bewildered and confused at the landscape they were seeing, so with a big sigh of exhaustion they dropped their maps, fell to the ground and gave up. So many are wanting to give up and drop their assignment and dreams because it looks too hard or bleak. For many its just pure exhaustion, discouragement, and defeat, but to many others this is so much more. It’s been an assassination attempt. 


ASSASSINATION AT THE THRESHOLD


There has been an assassination attempt on many at the threshold because of what is at stake. Many who are crossing over into that place of promise have been not just dealing with difficult circumstances surrounding them but an actual assignment sent to take them out before they access it! 


In the last three days I have recognized this spirit when praying for people and they have all shared that they have had thoughts to commit suicide with one young person I prayed for who admitting to actually attempting to do so. This assassination attempt has come to surround the minds of Gods people with such a deep oppression and hopelessness that they long to give up. The good news is that Jesus came to set us free from ALL kinds of bondage and He wants to break that spiritual assignment off you right now if you have felt it trying to come on you. 


I command that spirit of death and suicide be broken off your life right now. You have the mind of Christ and every lying demon GO right now in Jesus name! 


DECOMMISSIONING HEAVINESS 


I had a very vivid dream a few nights ago where I was praying for a lady who had back and shoulder pain/tension. In the dream I was walking past her and had the word of knowledge and she says "yes thats right, how did you know?" As soon as i began praying it manifested as something more than just physical as the sweet presence of Jesus came and she cried out with this deep wail "I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders!" and she got instantly set free, body, mind, and spirit.


I want to pray for those of you reading this who have been through months of being burdened by the spirit of heaviness, foreboding fear, worry, troubles, and mental torment. I command that spirits assignment broken off your life right now in Jesus name and every physical affliction attached to it also be broken in Jesus name. 


Backs, shoulders, and necks i speak SHALOM over you. All pain leave, tension leave, and come back into alignment in Jesus name! I speak PEACE over minds that have been under the barrage of torment and causing sleeplessness, fatigue, and hopelessness. No more will your homes atmosphere be heavy, your family, or your marriage/relationships. Jesus you are our healer and we thankyou for the anointing that breaks the yoke and sets people in bondage free.


"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.”

- Isaiah 61:3


RECEIVE YOUR MANTLE! 


I heard the Lord say that instead of heaviness, instead of the heavy yoke, this is the time to receive your new mantle! Just as David was commissioned by Samuel to be king and given the anointing and mantle to walk in that function, God is mantling you for this new season and DISMANTLING every heavy weight and burden of the past season. 


Heaven is rejoicing. Angels are dancing and shouting in anticipation as you step into the new growth and promotion. You are being redefined and reassigned. The old armour and and unction simply won’t carry you any further. For months now the Lord has told me they are “mantles for reigning” because God is not only commissioning many with a double portion but He wants us to move into a governmental authority that causes us as the body of Christ to reign instead of being ruled. Reigning then releases inheritance and that is what the enemy is so afraid of you accessing which is why the war has been so great. 


THIS IS WHERE THE TIDE TURNS


“The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side!” - Psalm 56:9 


As I was praying into this week i kept seeing a vision of tables being over-turned much like Jesus did in the temple when they were using Gods house incorrectly. The word “overturned” kept rising up my spirit and the lord began to speak to me that He was OVERTURNING every assignment of the enemy that had been waging war on you and TURNING THE TIDE! 


He hasn’t turned a blind eye to you in fact He is rising up a holy anger and justice to see that what has been coming against you not only stop but it will FLIP and become something that works FOR YOU! This is where God fights fiercely for you and reverses the flow of calamity and opposition. Every weapon forged against you, that came at you, that tried to take you out, burden you, and enslave you as you stepping into new depths of destiny CANNOT and WILL NOT prosper (Isaiah 54:17 paraphrased) and I prophesy this will be will the week you get new STRENGTH, new JOY, and begin to shake the earth with the sound of your new mantle hitting the water in Jesus name! 


PRACTICAL KEYS


- FEAST on the word of God and allow Holy Spirit to give you new Rhema(living) words for current situation. As you do it will begin to override the verdict and diagnosis of the enemy that has been screaming at you. 


- FAST and consecrate yourself to the Lord. Obviously this is only if God is asking you to but fasting not only connects you to Gods heart and what He is doing in your life but it is a catalyst to see breakthrough.


- SPEAK prophesy, worship, thank, and magnify Jesus in your storm. There is something so powerful about strengthening yourself in the knowledge of who God is and giving him praise that breaks obstacles. 


- SOW where God leads you to. Whether in finances, blessing people with help, prayer, and encouragement. The enemy wants you so focussed on your own world but as we begin to look for opportunity to bless others things begin to shift! 


- ACTIVATE your mantle by finding a problem to point it at. Don’t lay down and accept defeat but get fierce, authoritative, and watch as things that have been out of alignment come back into place

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BATTLED & SURVIVED JEZEBEL

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

IT'S TURNING AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • April 22, 2025
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”

WHEN THE OLD WINE RUNS OUT..

By Nate Johnston • April 19, 2025
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
