What I’m about to share with you is less of a prophetic word and more of an invitation, an invitation that I believe God is extending to the body of Christ right now.. It is something that has personally challenged me in this season, where I feel like the Lord is calling us to step into the fullness of the gospel, the fullness of the life of Jesus as modeled in the Gospels. He is inviting us to step out in faith and restore the areas where we are not yet seeing the full outworking of everything Jesus did on the earth. I’m talking about the ministry of signs, wonders, miracles, and healings. The Bible says that Jesus healed all who came in contact with Him: “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” ( Matthew 4:23, NKJV) Jesus brought deliverance to all who were bound: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38, NKJV) Jesus brought freedom. Yet, in the last seven to ten years, we have seen a rapid decline in miracles, signs, and wonders in the church. Many are asking in the church today, why do we even need signs and wonders? We need them because they remind us of the greatness of God, and they expose the limitations of man. They remind us that God is all-powerful and sovereign, that He loves to break open the heavens and pour His power into the earth. We need healings because they are central to the gospel. When the disciples tarried in Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit baptized them with fire, they received a level of authority and dominion they had not even walked in during the days when Jesus was physically with them: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, NKJV) Yet, the church has drifted from this place, reducing the gospel to an intellectual Christianity, a gospel of talk, but not power (1 Corinthians 4:20). We have settled for goosebumps instead of the kabod glory of God, the weight of His presence that transforms lives, cities, and nations. ICHABOD IS OVER Let me invite you into this story for a moment. For the last year, the Lord has been speaking to me, saying: “The Ichabod church is coming to an end. The Ichabod church is coming to an end.” Ichabod means “no glory” meaning there is no outworking of heaven into the earth in any measure. This, in many ways, represents what we are facing and seeing right now in the current model of the church. We have leveled off. We have shut out the Holy Spirit because we are not willing to risk our reputations for the sake of pursuing what people are truly hungry and longing for. I wonder how many church services the demonized have walked into, only to walk out still bound. I wonder how many church services the sick and afflicted have walked into, yet were not set free. I pose this challenge even to myself. I know that in my life and in our ministry, I have seen incredible miracles over the years. I have witnessed remarkable signs and wonders break out. But I’ll be honest, there have been moments of deep challenge, moments where I have wrestled with continuing to go after healings and miracles when it seemed like there was such a recession of these very things. Yet, over the last year, something has been stirring. I have been having dreams where God has shown me mass miracles breaking out, but not because of a man, not because of a superstar celebrity preacher laying hands on the sick. No. These miracles were happening because a body was rising up, a body walking in the fullness of the kingdom of heaven, clothed in the mantle of Jesus, which we have inherited through the blood of the Lamb: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV) A Challenge from the Lord When we moved to California, the Lord posed a challenging question to me. He said: “I want you to gather My people. I want you to unite My people. I want you to teach the church how to be the church again.” Then He said something that rocked me to my core and challenged me deeply. He asked: “Will you create a space for the sick and broken to come? Will you model the hospital church again?” I responded, “Yes, of course, Lord.” Then He asked: “Will you allow Me to perform signs, wonders, miracles, and healings again?” Again, I said, “Yes, Lord, I want that.” Then He asked me: “Are you willing to step out in faith to see the voice of healing return to the church?” And suddenly, it struck me what He was truly asking. He was asking: Would I step out of my comfort zone? Would I have the courage to pursue healings and miracles again in our meetings? Would I risk it all to see the fullness of the gospel manifest on the earth? THE ANOINTING OF A.A. ALLEN Instantly, I was reminded of a prophetic word that was given to us back in 2022 by the late prophet Jeff Jansen. At the time, I did not know Jeff personally, but one day he called me and said, “Nate, I have a word for you.” That year, we were wrestling with our visas. We had returned to Australia because of COVID and were facing a major decision: Would we relinquish our visas while we waited, or would we contend to steward both Australia and America? I can’t even tell you how many nights I lay broken before the Lord, asking Him for direction. “God, do You want us to give up America and just focus on Australia?” Then, Jeff Jansen called. He said, “The Lord told me to tell you, it is Australia AND America.” He continued, “Nate, you asked for the nations, and the Lord has given you Australia and America.” Then he shared a vision the Lord had shown him: He saw two large capital ‘A’ letters in the spirit, and they were joined together: A A. Then he said, “The Lord says your calling is to both Australia and America. And in this next season, the Lord is bringing them together.” This immediately reminded me of my recent dream of the Frisbee and the Boomerang, yet another confirmation of what God is doing in this season, moving both nations in synchronicity. But then Jeff said something clear and profound: “The Lord showed me two things: The Lord says you must claim both homelands, because He has called you to bring back the voice of healing to the church.” He continued: “When you begin your gatherings, when you begin to hold public meetings God says, "I will return the voice of healing to the church. It will be a sign and a wonder of My healing and saving power, which I will reveal through My end-time church.’” Then he said something that rocked me to my core: “Just like the two ‘A’s,’ the anointing and faith of A.A. Allen will come back upon a generation!” That word shook me. It riveted me. It convicted me. It drove out apathy and complacency in my heart, those places where I had wanted to level off. And in that moment, I said: “Okay, Lord. I don’t know what that looks like.” I had never considered myself a healing preacher. I had never considered myself any of those things. But this was never about me. It was simply about being willing to say yes to whatever God wanted to pour out. It wasn’t about a flashy healing ministry. It was about saying yes to inviting in the broken, the sick, and allowing God to bring healing once again to His church. For years now, I have been prophesying: The church will be a hospital again. The church will be a place for the broken again. So, what did I expect? Should I not truly expect that when God gives a word, He will back it up with His power? “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.” (Mark 16:20, NKJV) COMING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS This is God’s invitation to you, Church. This is me prophesying that we are about to see a resurgence of the voice of healing in the Church like in the days of the 1940s through the ministries of men like William Branham, but in greater measure. For Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV) I believe we are in an hour of divine restoration. God is bringing back the voice of healing because right now, when we look at the Church, we see brokenness, desperation, and hope deferred running rampant. The body of Christ has forgotten what power looks like. It’s like we’ve been walking in the dark and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen the light turned on. So what has happened? We have leaned into the comfort of profound statements and words, but words alone are not enough. People are over words. They want power. People are over statements and sound bites. They want to experience the glory of God. Right now, the Lord is inviting us into a season of the miraculous unlike anything we have seen before. He is inviting us into a season of experiencing heaven where the supernatural breaks into the natural again. He is calling us into days where we will no longer simply walk into a church service, hear a good message, experience a great time of worship, and leave unchanged. Instead, He is inviting us into realms of His glory where anything is possible again. Where God commissions His Church as brokers of the power of heaven. THE MISSING PIECE Recently, we had Lou Engle over, and Christy had just put up some photos of Jesus walking in the wilderness on our wall. On the last photo, the words of Luke 4:14 were written: “Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about Him spread quickly through the whole region.” (Luke 4:14, NLT) For about 40 minutes, we spoke about the connection between: Esther 4:14 – Born for such a time as this And Nehemiah 4:14 – God rebuilding His Church, the family As Lou walked around our living room, praying with us, his eyes landed on that photo of Jesus walking in the wilderness. He stopped, then he said: “That’s it. That’s the missing piece.” I believe we have been in a wilderness as a Church. God has been testing us. What do we truly want? What will we trade for? Will we continue to allow counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders? Will we keep settling for the diviners and the showmanship of false deliverers? Will we continue to tolerate that which carries no power and no true transformation? Or will we be a Church that leans back into the mantle of the Holy Spirit, the anointing for power? Because I’ll tell you this, I am longing for the days when the power of the Holy Spirit will break out in the Church again and we will no longer just talk about the gospel but fully demonstrate it. The true and authentic. And the invitation is actually simpler than you think. It’s simply a YES to the Lord. THE RESTORATION OF HEALING Maybe you’re reading this, and it challenges you but at the same time, it excites you. Because you’ve experienced hope deferred. You’ve experienced robbery in this past season. Let me prophesy this over you: “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.” (Joel 2:25) God is restoring what has been lost. Maybe this is hard for you to read because you have endured sickness and affliction. Maybe it triggers something in you because you have yet to experience the power of God in this way. Let me declare this over you: The voice of healing is coming back to the Church. And even now, in the place where you are, will you say YES to the Lord? Will you say yes to being a conduit of His power? Will you say yes to stepping out, laying your hands on the sick, and watching them recover? Will you say yes to the fullness of the gospel? Because we must not forfeit the power that is needed to back up the talk in this hour. My friends, the voice of healing is coming back. The Ichabod days are over. The hospital Church is rising. And it’s time to see heaven invade earth once again. A PRAYER OF HEALING & DELIVERANCE I don’t want to talk about this without giving you an opportunity to receive prayer for healing, for deliverance, for breakthrough. So let me ask you: Do you have a sickness, infirmity, or affliction in your body right now? Are you battling something that has tormented you for far too long? If so, let me pray for you. In the mighty name of Jesus, be healed right now! I command your body to come into alignment with the Word of God, which declares: “… by His stripes, you are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) I command every demonic spirit of affliction that has been tormenting you to leave NOW in Jesus’ name! Every disease, every assignment of the enemy to keep you in sickness I break it now by the blood of the Lamb! If you have been experiencing oppression, torment, or any level of bondage, I want to pray for you right now. Lord, right now, I bind every assignment of oppression and demonic torment that has been coming against them. I command that spirit to leave NOW in the name of Jesus! For Your Word says: “… if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) There is no distance in prayer. And as I pray, God, I ask that Your healing power would flow through the airwaves and touch their bodies right now setting them completely free! I command headaches to leave! I command issues of blood to be healed! Lord, I ask for terminal diseases to be reversed and healed completely! I ask for backs to be straightened, broken bones to be restored, and for metal implants to dissolve supernaturally! I ask for eyesight to be restored and hearing to be opened! Lord, I pray for teeth issues to be healed. I pray for deaf ears to open and for blind eyes to see! I pray for every person bound by affliction to be set free today! Every sickness, affliction, and infirmity that has warred against God’s people for too long be broken NOW in Jesus’ name! Lord, awaken Your people to the fullness of the finished work of the cross! Let the Church once again be a hospital, a place where the sick come and are made whole. And let our lives be the same. Lord, today, reveal to us the power of the cross that we carry. Give us boldness and courage to step into the finished work of the cross and the greater things that Jesus said we would do. In Jesus’ name Amen!
