THIS DECEMBER - THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING!

THIS DECEMBER - THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING!

I have been feeling intense anticipation in my spirit leading up to the month of December sensing that we are about to see a huge shift globally, corporately(the church)and personally, and the turning of a corner for the kingdom. This will be a game-changer month where the tide begins to turn in so many areas that have been in contention. This is what God spoke to me about this month leading into 2021 and what I see coming.

THE SHIFTING WINDS & THE CHANGE IN THE AIR

“After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and they were restraining the four winds so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea, or on any tree” Revelation 7:1

Two weeks ago as I was waking up I heard in my spirit, “The winds of change are about to blow! The winds of change are about to blow!” Then I saw in the spirit 4 angels that like this scripture were positioned on the 4 corners of the earth holding back winds that were being readied for an appointed time. The winds were the winds of revival, awakening, justice, and recompense and they were being positioned like horses at a gate ready to be unleashed upon the earth. It was the 4-fold response of God to the enemy's plans that have been wreaking havoc on people on the earth causing them to falter and crumble. In the winds were the power to resurrect what looked like it had died in 2020. This was the reinforcements of heaven to where it had seemed as though all was lost and people were at the point of break-down and giving up.

YOUR FORECAST IS CHANGING

As soon as I saw this vision I knew this was both corporate and personal. I knew that God was giving me the upcoming forecast that the weather was about to change. That while the storms of the enemy may keep swirling around the earth that nevertheless the forecast was about to change for believers and in key areas of victory and breakthrough that we have been praying for. When the winds of change begin to blow NOTHING can stop the move of the Spirit, nothing can hinder or prevent the mighty outpouring of heaven upon the earth. The enemy may think he has brought the body of Christ to the ground but it has only brought us to our knees, and when we are on our knees is when we are the most dangerous. He is truly overplayed his hand and we are going to see this in December through to January.

In the next few months join in the move of the winds of change, join in heavens activity by prophesying over the dry bones of your own life, in your own family, in your family, city, and nation. Those impossible situations that looked like they settled defeat for you, will shift once the winds of change hit them. Those hopeless places of your life are going to flourish! Those who have felt like they have given up and died are going to come back to life and become a mighty victorious army that cannot be stopped! The winds of change are going to blow in Jesus' name!

“Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘The Lord God says this: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain so that they come to life.”’ Ezekiel 37:9

THE WINDS OF GOVERNMENTS ARE SHIFTING

As I was writing down what I was seeing I heard an interesting phrase “the winds of government” which reminded me of the term “the WHEELS of government”. When asking the Lord what the winds of government were He said to me “the wheels are man's ways, but the wind is mine”

“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty” Zechariah 4:6

We are about to see the winds of change upon governments where man's ways have allowed the enemy to corrupt and divert the destiny of nations. The winds of government are blowing to bring order and justice to nations that have in contention. In the United States, we are going to see the winds of the Spirit blow just when people have begun to say “surely things cannot turn around now” but the winds of change are going to blow. Our job is to SPEAK & PROPHESY and partner with the winds to see it deliver its hammer blow against the enemy's plans.

THE WIND WILL BLOW UPON TIED UP INJUSTICES & EXPOSE THE CHINK IN THE ARMOR

I saw the wind of justice blowing violently upon the earth and lifting up what looked like tectonic plates of the earth. I feel like this represented the depths God was going to go to unearth injustices in this season to come. The phrase that kept coming to me was “exposing the chink in the armor” like an adversary who had forgotten to hide its weak spot. The wind is coming to expose and reveal. Expose the enemy’s plans and unveil the might of the army of God. Uncover the hidden agendas lurking in secret, and shine forth the glorious bride trained for this very moment.

THE REINFORCEMENTS ARE HERE TO LIFT YOU FROM THE BATTLEFIELD!

The winds of the Spirit are here to lift up the arms of the intercessors and watchmen around the globe. Those who have been falling into defeat and grief. Those who have been heavily under fire and losing their strength. The winds are blowing in December to lift you up and remove you from the witchcraft battle that wants to keep you in the line of fire instead of protected and the one firing fatal blows to the enemy’s agendas. The winds of opposition tried to take you out and uproot you but watch now as the winds of the Spirit pick you up and plant you!

In fact even right now let the winds blow away the words and witchcraft warfare of 2020 that have swirled around you. You don’t need to carry any of it, the sheep bites, the character assassination, fear, opposition, and weariness. The winds are here to clear the air over you and clear the air where the mainstream media has spread lies, fear, and hysteria that has only increased the witchcraft warfare against the church.

YOU HAVE ENDURED THE SHAKING - NOW GOLD IS BEING REVEALED

In another vision, I saw someone panning for gold and they were shaking the pan over and over until they finally stopped and what was left was the gold they were looking for. To me that firstly speaks of the shaking of the church in 2020 and how God has used crisis and conflict to awaken us and reveal the gold we had hidden under layers of religious dirt and dust. It also represents our own personal shaking and personal revival and the process of re-definition and clarity that we have been going through. As we step into December God wants to refresh you, bring healing to you where you have been tired and where the year has taken its toll on you emotionally/mentally, and spiritually. I feel like many of you have felt the deep toll of the year without recognizing the immense refining of gold that ALWAYS ends in breakthrough and blessing. You have endured. You have walked through fire and flood and storm but after the shaking comes the wind that blows away the debris to reveal what is underneath, and now it’s time to see the fruit of faithfully pressing through the most difficult minefield of this hour of history. The winds of change are here now to REVEAL what has been hiding underneath the process.

ENTER THE REDEFINITION, REFOCUS, & REPOSITIONING

Look out for the re-definition of purpose and vision in December. I see role shifts and transfers in the spirit where people are moving into different positions in the kingdom and into different alignments and affiliations. The mission He has given you is being sharpened and readied for greater impact in 2021, and for those who have been feeling up in the air, in a hallway/waiting season you will begin to SEE what you have been RESET for.

Your trajectory had to shift to accommodate what was coming and you wouldn’t have been able to do it without the mess and conflict - God used it for your benefit. One of the greatest shifts is the re-defining of tribe and alignments. God is surrounding you with people who are there to hold your arms up and who can handle the weight of your calling, not wanting to usurp you, control you, manage you, or turn on you the moment you step into deeper waters. God is bringing heavyweights of the kingdom who have the maturity and integrity to last the distance with you.. so watch as the winds of change begin to blow in the area of new alignments begin and to close old doors.

The winds of change are going to move people geographically in December/January. There are those who are right now already feeling the pull. God is preparing you and even while you don’t have all the pieces or reasons, you know the season is done where you have been and it’s time to move on.

THE WINDS ARE GOING TO BRING GOOD NEWS & CHANGE THE GAME

The last thing I heard was that “Good news is on the wind” and I believe the winds of change are carrying the good news that has been prevented and delayed for a long time. The war in the spirit has been to stop and delay the reinforcements and the breakthrough. It’s been to stop the dots connecting and the pieces coming together but let me prophesy - the good news is coming on the wind! Just as the wind causes eagles to soar higher, so this wind will cause the prophetic eagles to rise higher in this next season. The winds will be the sign of the birthing of major kingdom movements being released in the earth that will change the game! Are you ready for the winds? Let’s go!

YOU ARE DETOXING THE POISON OF THE PAST

By Nate Johnston • April 17, 2025
So many people in the body of Christ right now are dealing with poison... Not physical poison - soul poison. The kind that seeps in from old wounds, betrayals, disappointment, spiritual abuse, and prolonged warfare. The kind you don’t always see, but you feel it—in your relationships, your perception, and even your intimacy with the Lord. It’s the poison of the past, and for many, it’s leaking into the present. And they don’t even know how to deal with it. How to name it. How to heal it. It’s showing up in a thousand ways: -As a critical spirit, constantly scanning for fault. -As sabotage, tearing others down to feel safe. -As hopelessness, blocking vision and prophetic clarity. -As a shut door to the secret place, keeping you from encountering God. And for some, it’s even affecting their physical health, their energy, their joy, because poison doesn’t just live in your mind. It lives in your nervous system, your habits, your perspective, and your spirit. THE WITCHCRAFT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING This is something the Church rarely talks about: Christian witchcraft. Yes it exists in the Church, in leadership, in prophetic circles, even among those closest to us. In 2018, Christy and I were in a season of major momentum. Our ministry was exploding. We were seeing crazy transformation, breakthrough, and open doors everywhere. But behind the scenes, our lives were under siege. Our marriage. Our kids. Our finances. Everything was getting hit and we had no idea why. Until one night, the Lord revealed in a dream: “There are two open doors - two people in your life who are speaking against you.” It stunned me so I took spiritual inventory, but I couldn’t see it clearly until months later. And then one day, while I was silently wrestling with confusion and spiritual heaviness, a spider dropped from a tree I’d never seen before and bit me on the head. I brushed it off. Treated the bite. But days later, the poison was under my skin literally causing my glands to swell and made me really unwell. Antibiotics didn’t work. Nothing worked. It took months to heal, and even when the skin began to recover, the Lord showed me that the real poison was deeper. Both in the spirit and in the natural, I was dealing with venom. The two people God warned me about? One was a family member who was actively opposing our marriage behind the scenes. The other was a ministry friend, someone I had trusted who was subtly operating in control, manipulation, and soul ties disguised as covenant. Even after confronting those situations and closing the doors, the side effects of their witchcraft remained. I was dealing with soul toxins that no amount of medicine could bypass. It took a long journey of forgiveness, deliverance, and allowing the Holy Spirit to do surgery in my soul. Because when you allow unholy words, curses, and accusations to enter unchecked, they don’t just bounce off. They land. And if they’re not discerned, they begin to infect. VENOM IS SPREADING THROUGH THE BODY Right now, I believe this is what we’re seeing happen across the Church. People who are carrying poison from past betrayal, leadership abuse, family dysfunction, and unresolved offense are now projecting that venom onto others. It’s not just offense, it’s accusation. It’s not just criticism, it’s a demonic assignment to wound and divide. It’s masquerading as “discernment,” but it’s really the voice of the accuser speaking through unhealed pain. This poison is moving through prophetic camps and leadership spaces like a spiritual epidemic, leaving people divided, mistrusting, and spiritually exhausted. We’ve mistaken venom for discernment. We’ve elevated trauma-born narratives as truth. And in doing so, we’ve become toxic carriers, spreading spiritual poison to others instead of healing. GOD IS DETOXING THE BRIDE But here’s the good news: God is detoxing His people. He’s detoxing us from the spiritual poison of the past - from betrayal, witchcraft, manipulation, self-righteousness, fear, shame, and abuse. Why? Because you can’t see clearly, prophesy clearly, or love freely when your soul is sick. Before God can release a move of pure fire, He’s purging the contaminated wells in His people. And I believe this detox is not punishment—it’s preparation. THIS IS YOUR INVITATION And let me be clear, this is not a word of condemnation. It’s a word of freedom. Because it’s not easy carrying poison—especially when you don’t even know how to get it out. And that’s the question I’ve been hearing a lot lately: “I recognize the poison is there… but how do I get it out?” It requires a deep detox. A cleansing of the words that wounded, the curses that lingered, and a fresh reminder of who God says you are. If you’ve been feeling off… If you’ve been battling unexplained spiritual fog, emotional reactivity, mistrust, or disconnection from God’s presence—this might be your moment to pause and ask: “Have I ingested poison? Am I still carrying venom?” Let the Holy Spirit show you where it entered, and how to let it go. Because God doesn’t want you carrying residue from what bit you in a past season. He’s healing your soul so you can move forward clean, clear, and commissioned. The detox has already begun. Let Him finish what He started. How to Break Witchcraft & Extract the Poison 1.⁠ ⁠Identify the Entry Points Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where the poison entered—through people, words, wounds, or unholy alignments. 2.⁠ ⁠Break Agreements & Renounce Out loud, renounce every lie, soul tie, and word curse. Cancel the enemy’s assignment in Jesus’ name. 3.⁠ ⁠Forgive & Release Unforgiveness holds the poison in place. Forgive fully. Repent for any venom you’ve projected. 4.⁠ ⁠Cleanse with the Blood Invite the blood of Jesus to cleanse your soul, mind, and body. Declare: “I’m no longer a carrier of poison.” 5.⁠ ⁠Shut the Doors Remove toxic connections, reset your prophetic diet, and cleanse your atmosphere. Return to the secret place. 6.⁠ ⁠Prophesy a Reset Declare: “My voice is clean. My heart is whole. My discernment is restored.” -This isn’t just deliverance. -This is a prophetic detox. -You’re not just getting free, you’re reclaiming authority to set others free. As James 3:8 reminds us: The tongue is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” But with heaven’s detox, that poison is being flushed out, and your voice is being purified for such a time as this. 

THE CALL TO THE WAVE-RIDERS Prophetic Flow from The Gathering OC – 04/11/25

By Nate Johnston • April 15, 2025
“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.” —Psalm 42:7 As I was praying before the gathering, I kept hearing the words, “Deep calls unto deep.” Then I heard it again, “Deeper still.” I sensed the Lord was stirring a fresh hunger in His people. A call to the ones who’ve longed for more. A beckoning to come deeper into the waters of encounter and intimacy where few are willing to go. Then I was taken into a vision. I saw a great wave forming, and behind it, hundreds of people were positioned, waiting for the right moment to move. In my spirit I felt it, “The wave is coming.” the wave of awakening IS FORMING There is a mighty outpouring prepared to crash upon the shores of the earth. A prophesied move of God’s Spirit that will awaken the nations. This is the wave that is swelling in the distance. Then, I heard the voice of the Lord thunder, “Where are My wave-riders?” “Where are the ones who will leave the shore and come out into the deep? Where are the ones who will forsake comfort, tradition, and control to follow My glory? Where are the ones who will chase My presence above popularity, platform, or predictable programs?” For there are many who have chosen to stay grounded, content on the shoreline, tethered to control and comfort. But I am calling the brave. I am calling the pioneers. I am calling the forerunners who were born for this moment, to ride the wave of My presence into the unknown. And yes, it may feel unsettling. You may even doubt yourself: “Can I do this? Do I have the strength? Will I get it right?” But hear Me, says the Lord, You are My wave-rider. You were born for this. Everything you’ve walked through has led you to this moment. You were not created to sit in the shallows, you were made for the depths. You will ride the wave of My presence, and in doing so, you will model something sacred to a generation who has forgotten what My presence feels like. As you ride, others will see. They will remember. And they too will venture out into the deep. For the days of intellectual Christianity are over. The days of knowing about Me are giving way to those who will truly know Me. And you can only know Me in the deep. You can only know Me in the wild places where control must be surrendered. But there, I will meet you. And there, you will find that though it feels uncomfortable, you are not alone. You have the Comforter. I am leading you into deeper waters. Back to first love. Back to the place of holy encounter. I am leading you out of worldly lovers and calling you back to Myself. For I am calling forth My wave-riders in this hour. But if you are not yielded, you will miss the moment. If you are not dead to the old thing, you will hesitate when the wave rises. Where are those who are fully surrendered? I am searching the earth for a people who will lay down their lives again, Not out of duty, but desire. A people who long for the marriage of eternity. Who will be betrothed to Me again? Who will divorce the world and its empty promises? Who will lose their lives to find them in Me? Who will rise from under the yokes of religion and culture and be Mine again? Who will consecrate themselves afresh? For the orphans shall become sons and daughters. And the sons and daughters shall become mothers and fathers, Releasing the cry of adoption over the land. Tonight, I am marking My wave-riders. Branding them with fire. Setting them apart in the deep. Step into the new rhythm. Step into My rest. There is a fresh flow. Leave the stagnant waters behind. The old flow will not sustain you for where I’m taking you. Then the Lord spoke again; “The Church has lost her rings.” She has forgotten her covenant with Me. But I am restoring the marriage. California is being married again. America is being remarried. The nations are being called back into covenant. This is a marriage moment. A moment of divine consecration. But it runs deeper than before. For I am looking for My lovers. “And I will betroth you to Me forever. I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, In steadfast love and mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord.” — Hosea 2:19 “Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, For the marriage of the Lamb has come, And His Bride has made herself ready.” — Revelation 19:7 The wedding song has gone out. The flute is playing once again. The days of the dirge are over. The funeral song has ended. A new day has dawned I am inviting you to the marriage feast. Who will respond? Who will come? Who will leave their other lovers behind? Then I heard it loud and clear - “OVERFLOW.” As you lean into what feels uncomfortable, As you step into the unknown, You will find My wave crashing into every dry and broken place in your life. You will feel the surge of My Spirit again. And the Lord says: As you lean into My presence, I will do what you cannot do. I will restore what you cannot fix. I will bring you out of depletion and back into overflow. You were born for this wave. Now ride it.

CROSSOVER SPECIALISTS – LEAVING FIGHT OR FLIGHT

By Nate Johnston • April 15, 2025
I walked outside to prophesy into the voice recorder on my phone and the scripture that came out of my mouth was from Isaiah 10:29: “They go over the pass and say, ‘We will camp overnight at Geba.’ Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.” As soon as I said those words, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake began to shake Southern California from a place called Julian, California. I believe what I am about to share is a now word for the body of Christ for the crossover specialists, those being called to transition into a new era in the midst of much shaking in both the Church and the world. The shaking is the sign that we’re crossing A few days ago, someone asked me, “How do we cross into the new when many people are unwilling or unable to go with us?” My response was: We need to lead them gently, with tact and honor, but also with urgency, knowing the time is now. But also knowing that it is God that leads us, and uses shaking to disrupt comforts and systems that are no longer aligned with His Spirit. He breaks our reliance on man-made methods and outdated identities. He exposes what no longer works. He leads us to new shores. But for this word, I want to highlight something specific that we are moving out of... We are leaving the fight-or-flight mindset. We are leaving bondage. We are leaving constant warfare awareness. Isaiah 10:27 says: “In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.” This passage is about Israel in bondage. God was calling a remnant to rise up and cross over into freedom and deliverance. This wasn’t just a physical relocation, it was deliverance from oppression. When God led Israel out of Egypt, it wasn’t just about a new destination. It was about being set free from slavery. When Joshua led the people into the Promised Land, it was about leaving the wilderness behind. And it’s happening again right now in our generation. When God calls us to cross over, it always exposes what we’ve tolerated: dysfunction, disobedience, demonic ideologies, addictions, oppression, and bondage. In the Church today, we see it loud and clear. We’ve tolerated selfish empires, the Ahab spirit, the Jezebel spirit, and the spirit of religion just to name a few. These forces have kept the body yoked to structures that no longer carry the wine. It’s like being at the wedding in Cana—the wine has run out but we’re still worshiping the empty jars that contained it. All the while Jesus is present, ready to pour out the new wine, but many are too loyal to the old to receive it. This is what the Jezebel spirit, the unhusbanded spirit, does in tandem with religious control. It keeps us bound to what once held glory but no longer does. Right now, God is confronting these areas. He is exposing what we’ve worshiped, what we’ve allowed, what we’ve built outside of Him. So this word is for the crossover specialist...those who are feeling the friction and pressure of transition and are not only crossing over personally but feel called to be the bridge over for others. Let me speak to you personally: You are crossing out of dysfunction. That’s why everything feels stirred up. God is surfacing areas of compromise in your own life, showing you places where you’ve created Ishmaels or pursued Jonah callings. He’s doing it in you, and through you, and He’s doing it in the Church. That’s why there’s so much shaking. That’s why so much is being revealed. Thats why people are desperate and broken, because God is exposing the snake. And yes, He wants to deliver you, but He also wants to shift you into the purpose behind it. Here’s what we’re crossing out of: Constant defense mode. You’re not meant to spend your whole life just surviving warfare. Yes, Nehemiah had to defend the wall for a time but if he had stayed in fight mode, he would never have finished building it. We are moving from reaction to construction. And God wants you to thrive. He wants you to enjoy the joy and wonder of what you’re called to do. When the old wine runs out, and we refuse to crossover, we lean on our flesh and begin to run on fumes. But when we crossover into the Spirit, we move in His strength, His flow, and His freedom. So how do we cross into this season effectively? Look at Isaiah 10:29 again. Geba and Ramah both mean high place. The key is the secret place, the high place with God. When the shaking comes, hide in Him. When things are unstable, cling to Him. It is in the secret place that He will heal, deliver, restore...this is where you will move across the chasm into promise. And from that place, you will also lead others. But as I end this word I feel to boldly declare something in alignment with the shaking and Isaiah 10:29; The high places of this world are shaking. Principalities are being evicted and displaced. As David crossed the threshold in the valley of Elah and confronted Goliath, he lost his ground. It came into the hands of Gods people and the battle was over. What if this crossover is more about kingdom conquest than we realize? What if God was leading us out of more strongholds and yokes personally and globally than we can see right now? California is shaking because it’s a declaration that the birth pangs are upon us and that the land is ripening. And the specialists for the hour are rising. Could it be you? I pray so... 

GOD IS HEALING YEARS OF MINISTRY HURT & TRAUMA!

By Nate Johnston • April 10, 2025
I had a chilling dream last night. In the dream, I was invited to a friend’s house. This friend, to me, represents someone who has been through deep spiritual abuse, someone constantly carrying that weight to the point where it now shows outwardly. This friend has a heart to serve God, is anointed, prophetic, and marked by the fingerprint of God. What the Lord has done in and through them is magnificent. And yet, the spirit of religion has always tried to bind them, tried to weigh them down, use them, and abuse them. In the dream, I was walking through what they said was their house. But it was cluttered, filled with photos, emblems, and items from different movements, events, eras, and seasons of their life. They led me on a tour, excitedly pointing out all the amazing things God had done. They spoke with joy, telling me about the different assignments they were part of, the things they were blessed to do, and what they laid down for Jesus. But beneath the surface of joy, I began to feel something trembling, something painful. Each memory, though it reflected serving God, carried layers of spiritual abuse, gaslighting, narcissism, and a deep sense of being put down, alienated, and isolated. I could feel it. The pain ran deep. The trauma had never been healed. The heart was never delivered. Suddenly I yelled out; “This is a museum of Christian hurt!” They looked back at me. “What did you say?” I repeated it: “This is a museum of Christian hurt. And it needs to be cleaned out!” They stared at me, shocked. And then they broke down. “Yes…yes, it is hurt.” I asked, “Why have you been ignoring it?” They replied, “Because we don’t want to dishonor. Because we don’t want to cast a stone. We don’t want to feel like all of it was in vain.” I said, “It wasn’t in vain. God called you. But man tried to mess it up. You’ve been carrying many seasons of hurt, and the Lord wants to clear it all out.” Then I heard myself say, “It’s time for the hoarding to stop. It’s time for the Lord to clear out the past seasons, redeem them, and start a new chapter in your life.” My friend fell to the floor, and cried, “Jesus, I surrender. I give you my past.” Instantly, things began to disappear off the walls. Light began to break through. And then I woke up. I believe this dream is speaking to many right now. There are believers, especially forerunners who have been carrying trauma, pain, and “Christian hurt.” They’re walking through and living inside a museum of shrines to the past. Yes, God moved. Yes, those seasons were sacred. But the pain wasn’t dealt with. And now, they’re depleted, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and even physically because of all the soul clutter they’ve been carrying. God is trying to start something new, but they’re stuck in what was. The Lord is inviting them to let go, to clean house, and to be made whole. As I share this, I feel it so strongly, this is especially for God’s forerunners. The enemy has tried to take them out through religious service, twisting what was good into something that robbed them of life. But if this is you, hear the Lord saying today: Lay it all down at My feet. Give Me your museum of hurt, and I will turn it into a sanctuary for My glory. My glory will shine through your pain. The suffering you’ve endured will now become the testimony of My goodness.” Romans 8:18 “For I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” I prophesy this over you today - You are shifting from trauma and pain back into wonder. The places in your life and heart that have endured heartache and abuse, God is turning them around in this hour. He is healing you. He is making you whole. And He will use you to bring healing and wholeness to others who have been through what you’ve been through in the name of Jesus!
