THIS WEEK LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS

THIS WEEK LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS

Over the last 3 days, I have felt a fight in my Spirit and an overwhelming sense of impending breakthrough for those who have felt at the battlefront—yet unable to move forward in that direction. As I was in worship, I heard these words: "Look for the signs of prison break," so let me prophesy over your week...


LOOK FOR THE SHAKING


Don't be alarmed by the shaking and what looks like drama and commotion. God is revealing what has been secretly keeping you in lockdown and what was holding up your movement. 


Tension points are breakthrough points and places where God brings resolve, healing, and reinvention. Your worship and contending are shaking what has felt like a holding cell, limbo, and stalemate. Like Paul and Silas, your song through the dark night is beginning to shake and shatter the bars that have held you. The shake-up is your break-out!


I prophesy that this is your rescue from the shaking that has come against you to keep you still, contained, and under lock and key in Jesus name!

 

LOOK FOR THE FRACTURES 


I heard the word "fractures," which means a crack or rupture, and I believe we are going to begin to see significant fractures form in the intentional onslaught against us. You are going to begin to see the fractures, weak spots, and imperfections in the warfare you have had against you, like the missing chink in the armor where you will strike down the giant that has been looming over you.


You will begin to hear the sound of metal bending, and the once strong and impenetrable assignments that have kept you at bay will give way. Then, you will leave the prison hold you have been in. 


You will have an "eyes open" moment and see things as they truly are, and the smoke and mirrors will be revealed in plain view. I prophesy that this week, you will see the cracks in the enemy's case against you and begin to feel hope again. You will be victorious where you have been hit the hardest. 


LOOK FOR THE DISMANTLING OF LOCKS


There is a global and personal dismantling taking place. The enemy is no longer able to hold together all the pieces and keep his hand hidden. His plan is being dismantled. 


Just as Isaiah 45 says,, there will be a "stripping of kings' armor," a "dethroning," and a "breaking down of bronze doors." The counterfeit kingdom is going to have a public showing, and the house is falling apart further. 


Personally, this is also taking place, where God is tearing down the gates, walls, ceilings, and obstructions that have been keeping you frustrated and stationary in your assignment. The dismantling of these locks and strategies is in the making. 


I prophesy that you are beginning to break out and breakthrough, and every invisible rope and tie is being untied and removed in Jesus' name. 


LOOK FOR THE FINALITY & CLOSURE


For many, a monumental prison break is the necessary closure regarding past seasons' baggage, and right now, God is tying the loose ends. 

This baggage has been a massive yoke on the necks of those longing to enjoy the new season but who have been dealing with the emotional scarring and trauma of past season's battles. God is bringing healing and closure to them. 


He is bringing closure by healing bodies, hearts, and minds from the toll of the last season where people are still carrying hurts, words, and betrayals.

I sensed that, especially in families and relationships, there was coming closure to a season of unrest, hardship, debt, and bad blood. God is cleansing, healing, and restoring right now.


Hidden warfare and words are being dealt with. Divisive roots and assignments are being dismantled, and ticking time bombs of strife are being disarmed. 


Look for the closure of expected outcomes because on the other side of the surrender of them will be the better outcomes you couldn't have come up with. 


I prophesy for the old doors to close, ties to be severed, and old seasons to come to an end in Jesus name! 


LOOK FOR THE DREAMS & INSIGHT


The airwaves in your sleep have been clouded, cluttered, and under fire but there is FREEDOM & REINVENTION coming to reinstate the night seasons revelation that has been lost in this contending season. 


The fruit of this prison break is a deeper connection to God and hearing His heart and mysteries. Your sacrifice of praise in the storm is now opening up a whole new realm of hearing and seeing than you are used to. 


In the enclosed space, you were unable to have vision and dream, but now watch as you, for the first time in a long time, start to dream with God and see the "down the road" you couldn't see before. 


I prophesy a fresh flow and season of visitation and revelation over you in Jesus name! 


LOOK FOR THE KEYS YOU DROPPED


I kept seeing keys, and I asked the Lord what I was seeing, and I was drawn to Revelation 3:7, which says to the holder of the keys of David that "What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open."


You lost your keys in the survival season, but now you are getting them back. You also dropped your fire in the survival season, but now you are getting it back. 


It's time to pick up what you dropped in 2020. It's time to resume the plan you had before the pandemic. Don't look at limitations or allow what God gave you to be stunted by the times. 


I prophesy that God is giving you back your zeal and passion, reigniting you, and refueling you for your season of sprinting forward in Jesus name! 


LOOK FOR THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT 


You will suddenly make "headway" (the word I heard) in places where there has been no fruit, progress, or advancement for your effort. You will feel a GRACE on stepping out where there was none before and have ease in the beginning when making plans.


The middle ground is falling away. The place of being without options and constantly hitting stops is over. Movement is here...so move out by faith. Step out by faith, and He will guide you. 


Isolation has been a tactic to keep you feeling even more cut off from any kind of breakthrough, but God is bringing you "fast-blooming" friendships to make up for lost time.


Look for the sudden openings where things felt closed and the ability to make decisions to move forward that you couldn't before. I prophesy SWIFT and peace-filled movement over you and your families in Jesus name! 


LOOK FOR THE KNOCK ON THE DOOR


Two times throughout the night before writing this word I woke up to hearing what sounded like a loud knock on our front door. I knew what it meant in the Spirit. 


Look for the knock on the door where doors have been locked and shut from you and what you were promised out of reach. 


God is opening up opportunities and things you felt you missed. He is bringing favor you thought you were robbed and cheated of. God is opening what has been shut, breaking through, and tearing down walls and doors in your way.


Red tape and legalities that have stood menacing over you will be removed. God is clearing the road. For those who have been knocked down repeatedly, this is a moment of standing tall again. Where your name was dragged through the mud, and you lost your will to live. It's time to stand. 


"You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me" - Psalm 118:13


It's time for a prison break because it's who God is...You may have endured a time of extreme hardship but it doesn't end there. I prophesy that things will shift dramatically this week in Jesus name!


"Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me" - Psalm 86:17

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.

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 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!
