I HEARD THE LORD SAY "TELL THEM TO PROPHESY THAT THE WAR IS OVER!" THE HOUR OF OUTPOURING HAS BEGUN, & WE WON’T BE THE SAME AGAIN

I HEARD THE LORD SAY "TELL THEM TO PROPHESY THAT THE WAR IS OVER!" THE HOUR OF OUTPOURING HAS BEGUN, & WE WON’T BE THE SAME AGAIN

I HEARD THE LORD SAY "TELL THEM TO PROPHESY THAT THE WAR IS OVER!" THE HOUR OF OUTPOURING HAS BEGUN, & WE WON’T BE THE SAME AGAIN

I woke up in the middle of the night with a strong urgency to intercede so I began walking up and down the house praying in the spirit and worshipping, and then after a while, I felt the atmosphere shift and I entered into warfare worship. I could literally feel the tension in the spirit of kingdoms clashing and I could feel the roar of the Lion of Judah joining me in intercession. For a while I kept singing Psalms 2:4;

“God sits in the heavens and laughs!, God sits in the heavens and laughs!”

I felt the justice and ferocity of the Lord so strongly as if He was not even threatened by this plot of the enemy. I felt to read the beginning of Psalms 2 and I found that the chapter is titled “The CORONA-tion of the King” which is interesting considering “corona” means crown or crowned”. I believe this Psalms 2 is the Lord's response every time the enemy wants to crown himself superior by plotting against God and his people.

“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles" The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them” Psalm 2:1-4

INTERCESSION OVER  THE NATIONS

I was then taken in the spirit over different nations of the earth and was told to pray over each of them different directives and needs as I was led and I could see the countless tens of thousands of others praying with me interceding and WARRING right now. This continued for a while until I finally ended up over the nations of the United Kingdom and I saw an air raid taking place and people were dispersing in mayhem. I then yelled out “KEEP TO YOUR POSTS!” Some continued to run but many others began to stand up and pray, and worship in unison. As they did the bombs kept missing their marks and the planes turned around in defeat.

It was then that I heard these words loudly in my spirit “ TELL THEM TO PROPHESY THAT THE WAR IS OVER !”

“They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 17:15

I came out of the vision but I continued to prophesy “THE WAR IS OVER, THE WAR IS OVER!”

WE HAVE ENTERED THE CITY ON A HILL ERA!

"You ask, what is our policy? It is to wage war." "You ask, what is our aim? ...It is victory." Winston Churchill

As I was praying I saw an image before me of the late and great Winston Churchill who led the United Kingdom to victory in World War II and interestingly was Prime Minister during the Battle of Britain and other raids against the nation, but had extraordinary favor and prophetic insight and foiled the enemy many times. I asked the Lord why I was seeing Churchills face and he answered me with a scripture;

"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden” Matthew 5:14

Winston means “wine town, joyful, and stone” and Churchill simply means “Church on the hill!”

I believe God was revealing that what seems like war and battle is actually the church’s time of awakening, rising, and shining. We are the new wine carriers, marching into the land with joy set
before us, fixed, focussed, immoveable, and ready to rise to the task at hand and the hour we were born into.

THE AWAKENING, THE BIRTHING, & THE OUTPOURING

Whether we like it or not we have crossed over into a new Kairos, a significant moment of history that always demands from us - the church a personal and corporate decision to either back-down or rise up. You can’t hide from what is happening and many are right now being awoken and set alight for something that is building and rumbling in the spirit. Wounded and burnt out Christians are getting a second wind, religious glasses are falling off those who were running around on hamster wheels but not walking in power and authority, and those who felt they had plateaued or reached their peak are now being given new marching orders. This is not a moment to be an elitist sitting up your glass tower causing division or squabbling over old territory, this is a moment for all of us to ride down into the valley and GET THE VICTORY!

We can’t keep being divided. We can't keep acting like school kids trying to be the teacher’s pet and have all the answers, we need to lay down our brands and collectively BE THE ANSWER!

Last week I heard the Lord say “The outpouring and great birthing has begun!”. The Holy Spirit has not been silent right now amidst this crisis but He has been calculatedly been readying the bride for impact. The enemy has sought to undermine the voice of the church in this time and use it like an arrow and mockery against us but I speak for us all when I say “WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED, IN FACT, NOW WE WILL ARISE WITH DOUBLE THE FIGHT WE HAD BEFORE!”

On the other side of this crisis there is going to be a WORLD-WIDE BIRTHING of unusual and unique ministries and movements. I heard the Lord say that the TIDE HAS CHANGED for the church as we have had to learn quickly how to swim in a different direction and learn the new language of the Spirit. You are going feel a FIRE in you that you didn’t know you could ever have, a HUNGER you didn’t know you could feel. This has only awakened you and made you stronger and NOW your BIRTH-DATE, your LAUNCH-DATE has been moved up the calendar and IT’S TIME in Jesus' name!

TAKING BACK THE AIRWAVES & THE SONG OF THE SEASON ARISING

Four nights ago I dreamt that I was given the position to be a news anchor of a global media channel but on my first day they started rolling the cameras and I just couldn’t read what they were putting up on the screens. It was like my spirit was grieving over the inaccuracy of it, so Instead, I began prophesying and singing over the airwaves. Before they could turn off my mic and shut me down the Glory of God hit the room hard and everyone fell on their faces weeping in repentance. I could see locational reporters on screens also hit by the glory and on their faces, and the glory of God was doing the same thing in homes and wherever people were watching from. Suddenly reports starting coming in saying “ SOMETHING HAS SHIFTED! SOMETHING HAS SHIFTED! THEY FOUND THE CURE & THE PANDEMIC HAS ENDED!”

What seemed like a simple act of worship had ushered in such a level of Glory that it took
over the airwaves and arrested the hearts of people around the world. It was undeniable
that God was in our midst. THIS IS OUR NEW SONG ARISING! Psalmists are rising,
DEBORAH’s are rising, and the song of the once voiceless are rising because the
bride is GETTING BACK HER VOICE AND INFLUENCE!

  • We can’t cater to the fear and read the script of the enemy's newsfeed. We were created to WRITE the script and set the tempo.
  • This dream represents the governmental role and influence the body of Christ must have right now to pull down this stronghold, the pandemic of fear as well as sickness. We have to take charge in the spirit.
  • Media may have a voice but God is raising up voices, pure voices of prophetic worship in the land like David who played his harp and caused demonic spirits to leave. We must raise our voices right now!
  • As we gather in our homes right now we have an opportunity to pray and see this thing SHIFT!

WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

If you are still reading this then by now the Holy Spirit would have you stirred you and even given you language and purpose to what you have been sensing already. You are not in isolation, you are not in lockdown like you think, you are in the SPRINGBACK ready to be launched. From here on out you will never be the same again, WE will never be the same again. Can you feel the new song coming out of you? Can you feel the ROAR of the Lion of Judah rising up out of you? Can you feel your voice rising? Prophesy with me ”THE WAR IS OVER AND REVIVAL HAS BEGUN

Sow a seed

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025
I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord. They hadn’t seen the fruition of what they sowed. But I sensed the Lord saying: You haven’t seen the next chapter yet. You haven’t seen what I’m doing next. And I truly believe this is a massive prophetic indicator for this season. Many have even been afraid to step into new assignments from the Lord because it feels like, God, how can I step into something new when I haven’t even seen the fruit of the last season? But the Lord is saying: Stop measuring a season by its fruit. As a pioneer and forerunner, sometimes you don’t see the fruit until later chapters. Your faithfulness to say yes, to do what He told you to do, that was enough. But now, you’ve stepped into a new chapter. You’ve got to release the old season. Surrender it to the Lord so you can step into what He’s pouring out now. Grab it with both hands. I believe this vision is also a powerful sign for this moment in history. There’s shaking all around us, and many are afraid of it. But don’t fear the shaking because it’s revealing the fruit. Then I went into a second vision. I saw large storehouses almost like warehouses lining both sides of a freeway. They were being filled, overflowing. I knew I was seeing the fruit, the fulfillment, the fruition of years of prayer, obedience, and contending. I could see the expressions on people’s faces “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would see this day come.” But it has come. And I believe this is what the Lord is declaring: You are going to see the fruit of it. It reminded me of Zerubbabel - the one God gave the signet ring (Haggai 2:23), the one who led the people out of exile and laid the foundation of the temple and also lived to see the capstone placed (Zechariah 4:9). He didn’t just begin the work. He saw it finished. As pioneers, we often feel like we labor and others walk into the fruit. But I believe the Lord is saying: In this season, you’re going to see it. You will see what you gave your yes to. Now let me speak into the shaking for a moment because I felt it was significant that I saw the tree being shaken violently. The tree was being shaken so the fruit could come. Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to fear the shaking when you know that the glory comes with it. And right now, many people are in fear in this shaking because their focus is on the wrong thing. The shaking isn’t here to ruin you, but to dismantle demonic principalities and systems that have oppressed you for a long time. The shaking is here to shake the earth back into order and alignment with the Kingdom and take back ground. The shaking is here to ready the church for harvest. It’s not punishment for us, it’s actually the sign that FRUIT IS INCOMING! And the shaking is right now producing what you’ve been praying for. The shaking is bringing you into breakthrough because you’ve already been through the breaking. This shift that’s happening right now is not a shift into doom and gloom. It’s a shift into bloom and increase. It’s a shift that’s taking you into the ripening, personally and corporately, because you’ve already been through the pruning. You’ve been through the fire, through the adversity, through the dark night of the soul where you wanted to give up, and where everything was stacked against you. So now it’s time for the glory to be revealed because you held on to Jesus through the battle. And God’s about to reveal His faithfulness because you were faithful. He’s about to reveal His goodness in your life because you chose to believe He was good, even when others walked away. You hit your knees when others turned back to Egypt. So today pioneers, look through the right lens. Get back your faith eyes. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the fear. And choose to see not through the eyes of foreboding, fear, delay, and hope deferred but through the eyes of hope again. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 FRUIT IS COMING!

SIGNS YOU ARE LEVELING UP IN THE SPIRIT REALM!

By Nate Johnston • May 7, 2025
You’re starting to notice your discernment sharpening - what once felt confusing is now spiritually clear, and you are trusting your spiritual senses more. You’re beginning to lose your appetite for entertainment and conversations that carry compromise, and what once felt normal now feels spiritually heavy. You’re becoming more intentional about who speaks into your life. You are choosing depth, truth, and alignment over comfort and familiarity. You’re beginning to feel less tempted by old patterns like lust, fear, striving, and insecurity and they no longer have the same grip they used to. You’re starting to recognize spiritual assignments early, and what once blindsided you now gets discerned before it can take root. You’re no longer taken out by witchcraft, gossip, or slander because you’ve learned how to stand in peace and stay hidden in God. You’re beginning to feel the power and authority you have over demonic spirits and strongholds because you’re releasing it right away in hard moments instead of hesitating or shrinking back. You’re starting to refuse to be bullied by people, manipulation, or spiritual assignments the way you used to and you’re standing your ground more. You’re beginning to see the thing behind the thing. Your discernment has sharpened to the point that you recognize what’s masquerading as surface issues. You’re seeing small but significant shifts in areas where you used to be bombarded and robbed, and there’s now fruit where there used to be cycles. You’re beginning to realize that you don’t have to defend yourself. God is your defender, and you’re resting more in that truth. You’re noticing the Jezebel spirit can’t lure you into manipulation, fear, or silence like before and you’re quicker to walk away from the drama and reclaim your voice. You’re starting to speak truth with boldness instead of apologizing for your calling, and you’re stepping into spiritual authority with more confidence. You’re becoming more aware of the orphan mindset when it tries to creep in and you’re rejecting self-pity, comparison, and the need to prove your worth. You’re choosing sonship over survival, rest over hustle, identity over performance. You’re beginning to notice that your spiritual hunger has increased, and you’re craving the Word, the presence of God, and purity more than ever. You’re less shaken by resistance and more aware of your assignment. You see warfare as confirmation of your calling, not discouragement. You’re beginning to recognize when God is promoting you, even when it comes through pressure or pruning. You’re not offended by closed doors, you’re learning to see them as God’s protection and redirection. You’re finding joy in the hidden place. You don’t need the spotlight to feel secure anymore. You’re beginning to respond with spiritual authority instead of reacting emotionally. You take it to prayer before you take it to people. You’re starting to feel a deep shift, less striving, more surrender. Less fear, more fire. You’re not just surviving anymore, you’re starting to rule. You’re not just reacting to darkness, you’re displacing it. This isn’t just spiritual growth. This is spiritual promotion. You have leveled up! Well done!

DON’T LET THE ENEMY ABORT “THE NEW THING” IN YOU!

By Nate Johnston • May 5, 2025
Have you been battling with a sudden wave of discouragement, and attack against the dreams you are carrying in this season? Does it feel like the enemy is trying to make you forfeit them by bringing distractions and voices of fear, intimidation, and caution so you don’t bring them forth? Are you even questioning if you heard right and are even doing what God has told you to do? Sounds textbook for what the enemy does in a birthing season.. Last week, I shared a word about how, in this season, God is birthing unusual ministries and movements that feel unfamiliar and don’t fit the old mold. Many are stepping into assignments purely out of obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense in the natural. These new expressions of ministry break away from traditional methods, and they challenge what we’ve come to define as “legitimate.” It reminds me of when we began our ministry. God called us to train and equip online, back when that was nearly unheard of. At that time, a legitimate school or training ministry had to be run through a church. Because we weren’t, we were labeled rebels, heretics, and lone rangers. But as we remained faithful through the criticism, God vindicated us. He proved, even to some of the loudest voices that we were going to obey Him, not a system and see the fruit from it. John the Baptist birthed his ministry in the wilderness. So did Jesus, He was affirmed by the Father at His baptism and immediately led by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was only after overcoming the enemy there that He emerged in power. You see, the wilderness isn’t a punishment, it’s often the birthing room of the most pure movements because they aren’t birthed in the comforts we are accustomed to. They take radical steps obedience to bring forth. Think of the Covid days where many hospitals had such high restrictions that many babies then were born at home because of it. It wasn’t the norm, but it became the norm. You see, God isn’t birthing the most potent movements in shiny and clean rooms, or boardrooms, but in the messy, the wilderness, the MANGERS! Right now, many of you have conceived something from the Lord. You’ve received a download, a vision, an assignment, a calling, but it doesn’t fit the current mold of ministry. It feels risky. It feels uncomfortable. You don’t have the full picture, just enough to step out. And when you try to explain it to others, you’re met with blank stares, doubt, or even accusations. But hear this: God gives you the seed, not the whole blueprint. Why? Because if He gave you the full vision at once, it would overwhelm you. And if you share it too early, it invites discouragement and resistance that can derail the very thing He’s birthing through you. I had a dream after our most recent gathering in Orange County. In it, I was in a birthing class like a Lamaze class and the atmosphere was thick with fear and nervous anticipation. One woman shared how hard her last birth was and how afraid she was that this one would be the same. Suddenly, a group burst into the room, laughing, mocking, completely unaware of the sacred moment happening. I shouted, “Get out! You’re distracting them!” And they cursed me and said, “What are you even doing? This is silly!” And I woke up with fire in my spirit. The Lord spoke clearly: In the birthing season, you must protect what you’re carrying. Like Jesus clearing the room before raising Jairus’ daughter, not everyone can be allowed into the birthing room. Here’s What the Lord Showed Me About Birthing Seasons: You cannot cast your pearls too early. Sharing the vision too soon can open you up to spiritual attack, discouragement, and mockery that wounds and aborts what God planted in you. Spies sent to extract information will come disguised as caring voices. These may be former mentors, religious authorities, or even well-meaning friends. But they’re there to gather intel to discredit you or twist your assignment into something more palatable to them. Jezebel will rise against it.. The spirit of control and manipulation hates pure, Spirit-birthed movements. And it will often use familiar voices, former leaders, influencers, or spiritual “fathers and mothers”to make you feel illegitimate, rebellious, or dangerous. These are witchcraft assignments in disguise. Provision may seem to dry up, doors may shut. Don’t let temporary lack cause you to question the vision. You’re not seeing fruit yet because you’re still planting the tree. Don’t judge the season by the fruit, judge it by the weight of the seed. And then just yesterday I received another confirming dream - a warning dream from a prophetic friend. In it, people offered Christy and and I the funds to purchase the land we’ve been believing for. But their condition was this: “Do it our way. Make it fit our mold. Make it a church not an apostolic hub” And bit by bit, they stripped the uniqueness from the vision until our friend shouted: “DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL.” That hit me like thunder in my spirit. Weighty, and smothered in the fear of the Lord. And so I say to you, pioneers and forerunners: DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL. Do not compromise the movement. Do not water down the mandate. Do not shift the vision to please men. Do not hand over your assignment to gain comfort or applause. This is not the time to conform, this is the time to protect, guard, and bring forth. What God is birthing through you is pure. It’s holy. It may not look like church-as-usual because it’s not. It’s the Kingdom breaking in. So as you move into this week, I urge you: Shut the door. Guard the room. Listen to the Spirit. Be obedient. You’re not crazy. You’re not rebellious. You’re pregnant with a movement. Birth it purely. Birth it boldly, and don’t be distracted, In Jesus’ mighty name.

WE HAVE TO BIRTH DIFFERENTLY RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • April 26, 2025
To the pioneers and forerunners who carry the Lord’s heart. To the remnant who are no longer following where man is leading, but are constantly seeking the Lamb - This is a word for you. This is a reminder of what God is speaking to us right now as we step into the new. The Lord keeps saying to me: “Build differently. Build differently. Follow Me. Build differently.” And He is persistent about this because we have been so used to building a certain way. Our mindsets have been shaped by old paradigms, and old blueprints of how we’ve done kingdom and ministry. But as we step into the new things God has placed in our hands, the challenge we will face is confronting the old mindsets. We will wrestle with old patterns, old methods, and old cycles, the ways we previously approached the kingdom, and God is asking us to break new ground and step into a whole new mindset and focus. The word over you is simply—birth differently. And here’s the difficult part; When you birth differently, many around you will say you’re doing it wrong. They will think you are being rebellious, foolish, or unwise. But unless we build His way and steward His mission His way, we risk birthing an Ishmael - something man-driven and powerless. We must build according to the blueprint of God’s heart, not according to proven systems and methods that have lost the wind of His Spirit. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) That has been the trap for many in the past seasons. John the Baptist built differently. He birthed his ministry outside of the city walls. He rejected the religious systems and Pharisaical traditions (Luke 3:2-6). He did what looked simple, grassroots, even foolish, something many would have dismissed as just a momentary uprising, yet it caught fire. John was preparing the way of the Lord. He was awakening people to the transition between old and new wineskins, between old and new covenants. It says, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) John ignited a holy hunger for true kingdom realities that had been buried under religious systems. You, remnant, were not called to tame. You were not called to maintain the status quo. You were called to lead the Church into her truest expression of relationship, intimacy, and becoming the true Ekklesia (Matthew 16:18). This is why we must build differently now. Because as we build, we are also unbuilding. As you establish what God is birthing through you, you are simultaneously dismantling what has been unhealthy, dysfunctional, and demonic. As you build healthy communities, you are unbuilding years of conditioning where the Church was a clubhouse or a hierarchy. As you build healthy leadership, Davidic leadership, you are unbuilding years of Saul-like leadership marked by control, fear, and intimidation. As you build healthy mothering and fathering, you are unbuilding years of Jezebelic influence that has sat at the tables of our ministries. As you build healthy prophetic culture, you are unbuilding the orphan spirit and celebrity-driven ministry. As you lead people to behold the Lamb, you are unbuilding the false idols, false gospels, and false “Jesuses” that have captivated the Church’s gaze. This is why birthing differently takes courage. It takes faith. It takes complete surrender. This week, I felt strongly not just to deliver this word, but to pray for you that God would begin giving you clear dreams and divine redirections. He is going to show you where you need to build differently. Where you must not fall back into the familiar patterns of the past. He will give you dreams, conviction, clarity, and specific next steps. And as you step out in obedience, you will feel the wind of the Holy Spirit behind you. And I prophesy that He will surround you with the right people, resources, and everything you need to walk into the fulfillment of this promise, In Jesus’ name!
