THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING

THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING

Look around. It's the winds of change blowing.

You either fight it or fall into it. But this one isn't leaving anything the same way it was.

But many are saying, "Lord, I can't handle another season of storms; I am tired!" But the Lord says, "My winds are not the storm; they dissipate the storm!"

Many have seen the signs and hunkered down in the storm bunker, but this isn't what you think it is. The winds of change are creating ripple effects upon global and personal circumstances, but they aren't coming to take you out but to put you back together!

"Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life." - Ezekiel 37:9

Yes, the winds of the spirit are bringing life to dry bones and the decommissioned. So I say to the fallen today, arise in Jesus name! I see the deep grief trying to clamp itself around your head, but it must break loose now in Jesus name!

THE WINDS OF REFORMATION

For the Lord has been reforming you in secret.

That's why your heart has been so raw, and all appetites for this world have fallen away.

This is why you have detoured from the safe and expected path.

This is why you had to shut the door. This is why you had to be detoxed from the rat race and see it for what it is. In the last 10 years, there have been gusts of transition and many birth pangs, but they have not been the birthing.

But now, the winds of change have prepared the church for the greatest hour.

THE WINDS OF DIVINE ORDER

I heard the Lord say, "Fresh manna will fall as you let the old manna rot away." There has been an unhealthy clinging to the methods and mindsets of God's last move, which has produced an influx of bad fruit. But this move of God is going to look different. It's going to be messy, yet it will restore order to lives, families, and the church.

THE WINDS OF POLARIZING SEPARATION

For I have been separating the wheat from the chaff, says the Lord. Those who fear me and those who don't. Those who lie with evil and call it good.

And those who choose the world over me.

That is why I have separated you from them and removed you from the tables of compromise even when it hurt. But you knew you couldn't worship me and their golden calves at the same time.

For the winds of change are bringing things into their right place and everything that is out of place is being removed. For I am plucking out the root rot of the church and planting a Davidic heart again in place of that which was defiled. So don't be surprised if it looks polarising or destructive; these will cause true repentance to gush forth.

WINDS OF HOLY JUSTICE

My winds of change are blowing divine justice over these situations that have held people in bondage and psychological manipulation. And in a moment their power will be gone and I will repay what they stole from you and restore you to your post.

A sign of this will be that you will start to see the private foxes become public, and the private battles in your life with this spirit will soon be made known for what it is.

For this is an hour I am dismantling the towers of man's achievements and bringing the church back into a humbling once again. For my wind is blowing and delivering the proud and lofty and setting them free from their thrones.

And I am bringing the church into her nameless, faceless days where all eyes will be on me once again.

THE WINDS OF DISRUPTION & RESTORING NATIONS

Now watch as I blow upon the nations. I am sending one expression of my spirit to one nation and another to another. There will be such a sudden explosion of varying flavors as I restore my salt and light and set my feast for the hungry.

These expressions won't be able to be contained or manipulated because they can't be controlled.

And those who are there to witness them will be unable to manufacture or steer it, only lean into what I am doing. My winds come now at the turning of a tide in the nations and in response to those who have prayed for nations hanging in the balance. And you will see both disruption and beauty, says the Lord. You will see turmoil and outpouring.

But look beyond the news and beyond the story before your eyes and see what I am doing. For I am restoring nations, not tearing them apart.

YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU COULDN'T

As I was writing this down, I went into a vision that felt like 8k clarity. The clearest vision I have ever seen. Then the Lord said, "My winds are blowing open the blurry prophets!" For many have been in a season of blindness and disconnect but my spirit is now giving you back sight with a clarity that has not been released upon the church yet.

And the eyes of the blind will see, and the eyes of the deaf be unstopped.

And fresh vision will finally come after years of wandering around feeling like God departed from you.

The Lord says to his prophets, "I had to untangle you before I could allow you to see fresh; otherwise, they would have trampled the revelation I am now giving you.

This is where the dots connect over the last four years and finally come to fruition.

THE WINDS OF MIGRATION & MOVEMENT

So, as I am rearranging your life and altering your plans, I am also conceiving in you new movements. But in order for these movements to be birthed you will have to migrate. For some, it's geographically, and for others, it's migrating from the seas you have been swimming in. The Lord says you have outgrown those waters, and you will become stagnant if you don't flow with me and move with me.

But I am not taking anything from you, but adding to you!

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water as you feel this shift.

Don't burn your bridges and throw away the keys to your vehicle, but learn how to receive multiple callings and assignments.

Multiple burnings and multiple groans...says the Lord.

For I am going to give you more nations. And open up places you would never have expected.

So don't be overwhelmed, but lean into this new space of dreaming with me and learning to operate with a deeper capacity to understand how I weave global estates together.

THE WINDS OF GATHERING

And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. - Matthew 24:31

Lastly, I saw the winds gathering people from hidden holes and caves around the earth. Who are these ones? I asked...These are the ones I am calling out of the dens of darkness and pain and back to their posts.

They are the ones who died in the battle and lost everything.

These are the ones who the enemy assassinated.

But I am putting my spirit upon them again so they can lead the charge in the days to come. But now they won't lead the church to more religion but to me. And they will establish birthplaces where my spirit can move without restriction and where I can cohabit, says the Lord.

Something is stirring in the Spirit—a revival is breaking forth in the heart of Orange County, California. But it’s bigger than California, this is just the birthing ground. A stake in the ground of sorts. A place that will send a shock-wave to the nations of the earth. Because ultimately, this is about a global move of God we are preparing for. God has called us to pioneer an Apostolic Hub—a place of fire, prayer, equipping, and sending. This isn’t just a ministry…it’s a movement. We believe Southern California is not lost or without hope. It’s primed for awakening. So with the mandate of California at the epicenter, and the nations as our inheritance, this is about God’s heart for His people EVERYWHERE. But in order to fulfill this assignment, we cannot do this alone. We’re writing to ask you to join us—not just as a spectator, but as a builder. The harvest is ready, but the laborers and resources are few. We need: — Intercessors to cover this move of God in prayer. — Financial partners to sow into this Kingdom mandate. — Servant-hearted builders to help establish the foundation. This Global Apostolic Hub will be a place where lives are transformed, leaders are raised, and revival spreads regionally and globally. But we need your help to build it.

WE ARE IN A ROOTS MOVEMENT MOMENT

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

I heard the Lord say: This is a roots movement. This is a moment where I have humbled my Church not to punish her, but to heal her. To purify her. To prune her for the coming harvest. My Church had grown accustomed to the bloom, the fruit, the outward beauty and what man sees, celebrates, and calls success. But right now, my glory is resting on what looks ordinary. What looks unpopular. Even what appears ugly or overlooked. Man says it’s about charisma. About the lights and smoke machines. About loud worship and grandeur. But my glory in this hour is resting on the grassroots, the simple, the foolish. On that which looks like a seed, small, buried, and unseen yet saturated by My glory. I’ve looked into the hearts of My people. I’ve seen a deep longing for what is real. For what is authentic. For what draws them back to Me not a performance, but an encounter. Not hype, but holy. For too long, My name was exalted in systems that celebrated man’s wisdom, man’s comforts, and man’s movements. But now, their brokenness is leading them back on unfamiliar paths toward what looks small, humble, and unthreatening. And yet it is pregnant with promise. That place you’ve overlooked is where I’ve hidden the seeds of My next great outpouring. A place people will say, “Surely revival can’t come from there.” But that is exactly where My Spirit is about to be poured out. I’ve chosen a people who have chosen the low road. Those who refuse to chase platforms or prestige. If you choose the low road, My Spirit will get the glory. If you humble yourself in this season if you choose the way few choose you will experience personal revival. You will see the fulfillment of the promises I made over nations. But it starts with the roots. Can you not see? I’ve been cutting back the tree. I’ve been stripping away the opulence because it came, and My glory lifted. The spectacle increased, but signs and wonders diminished. Man became too familiar with My anointing, relying on giftings instead of My Spirit. He who has ears, let him hear: I am doing a new thing in this hour, but it won’t look like what you’re used to. I’m bringing My Church back to its roots. Back to Acts. Back to the place of birth where it was messy, but it was beautiful. And right now, many are feeling the tension. You can feel the pull into something new, but it feels like your branches are being cut back. Some feel like nothing more than a stump, a root in the ground. But from that root will grow something powerful if you let Me water you. If you let Me tend to you. I’m uprooting the weeds and tares from past seasons things that have choked your family, your calling, your mind, your marriage. I’m clearing the soil so that what grows next will be healthy, sustainable, and lasting. I’ve brought My Church low so that what is planted now will remain for generations. This is not the end. This is a rebirthing. You will experience My glory again, says the Lord. So if you feel lost…if the doors are closing…if your resources are drying up…if you’re staring at impossible debt or deep lack… know that I am there. -I am in the midst of your marriage. -I am in the midst of that prodigal child. -I am in the midst of your finances. -I am in the midst of your health. The enemy has lied to you, but I am taking an ax to the root of those lies. Not to destroy your life but to prune it. To cut back what was killing you. To free you from generational cycles and mindsets that have left you worn out and barely holding on. I am bringing you into wholeness. I am bringing you into freedom. Can you not see it? And here is My call to the Church: -If you will prepare a place for Me to dwell… -If you will come low… -If you will humble yourself… I will come. And the people will come. The broken will come. The world that is truly searching for Me will come. Roots movements are beginning to burst forth across the earth. They look like Davids in the field unnoticed, uninvited, seemingly insignificant. Yet they carry My glory. Soon, they will grow. And the world will recognize their fruit and like the pearl in the field many will give away everything to buy the field. The hidden ones will emerge to join the song of the lamb. And they will become dispensaries of My presence where healing, signs, wonders, and the fresh and mighty outpouring of my spirit will flow!

I'M GOING TO TURN IT AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

Are you facing a bleak situation right now? A bad report? I feel an unction from the Holy Spirit to prophesy over those standing in the middle of what looks like impossible right now. It might be health issues, financial breakdown, family chaos, mental exhaustion and more. Let me prophesy….It’s going to turn around. You know those moments in life where you’re under pressure, crushed, confused, out of options? You’ve prayed, fasted, cried… and still, nothing shifts? And then out of nowhere, God speaks. We had one of those moments today. A family member was in surgery and everything began falling apart. It didn’t look good. In fact, it looked hopeless. Panic hit me at first so I cried out, “Lord, I need you. I don’t know what to do.” And suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord thunder in my spirit “It’s going to turn around!” At that exact moment, I glanced at my phone - it was 11:11. The Holy Spirit reminded me of John 11:11: “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.” Notice that J esus didn’t call Lazarus “dead” even though everyone else did. He called him asleep because He saw the turnaround before it came. He spoke life into a situation everyone had already given up on. In the natural, Lazarus was gone. But in the spirit, heaven had a different word. And I believe God is saying to many of you; “What looks dead is only sleeping and I’m about to wake it up.” Just like the young girl in Mark 5, when they told Jesus she was dead, and He said, “She is not dead, she is only sleeping.” He spoke a word that contradicted the room. And I feel right now that heaven is interrupting your crisis with a contradictory word: “It’s going to turn around.” Like in Zephaniah 3:19–20 which declares: “In the end I will turn things around for the people… I’ll get rid of all those who’ve made your life miserable. I’ll heal the maimed; I’ll bring home the homeless… On Judgment Day, I’ll bring you back home—a great family gathering!” This is your Psalm 126 moment: “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter…” — Psalm 126:1–2 That moment when sorrow turns to laughter. Tears to testimony. Confusion to clarity. But here’s the truth: I know many of you are weary. You’ve been through years of warfare, setbacks, disappointments. And you have had some unexpected situations rise and you’re wondering, “Do I even have the strength to stand in this one?” You feel like you’re out of fight. You’re tired of pushing. Tired of prophesying with no fruit. Tired of trying to make things move In your own strength. You’ve thought, “Maybe I should just roll over. Maybe I should stop contending. It’s too much.” But I feel the Lord tell me to send this word out to hold up your arms today. This word is not just encouragement. It’s a prophetic act. Like Aaron and Hur holding up Moses’ arms in battle (Exodus 17:12), I’m lifting yours right now in the Spirit and I am declaring over you: The battle is shifting. Remember 2 Kings 6, when Elisha’s servant woke up and saw their city surrounded by enemy armies? Fear took over. But Elisha prayed: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. —2 Kings 6:17 I pray the same for you today: Lord, open their eyes. Let them see what You’ve already released on their behalf. Let them see that heaven is fighting for them. This is a midweek arm-lifting moment. I declare boldness is returning to your voice. Fire is coming back to your bones. And faith is rising again in your heart. Watch it turn around. Not by might, not by power but by My Spirit, says the Lord. —Zechariah 4:6 But God is not just fixing surface-level problems. He is resetting your foundations. Where the enemy has robbed, God is restoring. Where the locusts have eaten, He is repaying. This is Joel 2:25; “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” So let me say it again - It’s turning around. Even in a short amount of time the suddenly of the Lord is about to visit your situation. That assignment that’s been hovering over you is breaking. That heaviness is lifting. And God will get all the glory In Jesus’ mighty name!
