THIS WEEK - SPEAK TO THE DOORS!

THIS WEEK - SPEAK TO THE DOORS!

A few nights ago I had a simple yet profound instructional dream from the Lord. In the dream, I was standing in what at first seemed to be an intersection of a very busy inner-city district. I could barely see around me because there were cars coming from many directions and their lights were blinding. I didn’t feel unsafe but I did discern that these cars represented the vehicles of men's purposes and the vehicles of culture, movements, and ministries. They were both the vehicles created by man that carried zero anointing and also the vehicles of movements anointed by God to usher in the kingdom of God Into the earth.

Then the scene suddenly changed and I was yet again in the middle of something that was moving around me but I found that instead of a busy intersection I was in a room of moving doors that were swirling all around me. Now I have had similar dreams and visions before but this time I felt an urgency in the spirit and heard “SPEAK TO THE DOORS!” But what are the doors and why were they moving? I believe these doors were both the doors of the enemy that needed to be shut and the doors of heaven that needed to be opened. The movement represented both the “movement” or transition and change taking place with these doors right now and also reiterating the urgency of the hour for the church to rise up and speak and command things to align according to the plans of heaven.

FIRSTLY, GET BACK YOUR KEYS

We need keys right now not earthly weapons, strategies, and ideas that have no authority in the heavenly places. Revelation 3:7 says;

“Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, for these are the solemn words of the Holy One, the true one who has David’s key, who opens doors that none can shut and who closes doors that none can open”

We are being reminded right now of our authority that opens doors and closes them. We have that authority yet the enemy has been trying to strip the church of its power in a time we need it the most and cause us to slip back into survival mode instead of VICTORY-mode. The enemy wants is fighting in the trenches and getting muddied and wounded and lost in the hand to hand combat instead of rising higher and walking through this season aware of who we are and where we are seated.

“He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!” Ephesians 2:6

The word heavenly realms in greek is "epouranios” which means the place or expanse that encompasses and supersedes every other realm, the seat, or place of authority where things are brought into order. Right now God is inviting us to step out of the second heavens where angels and demons war and into our true place of effective warfare which is above the demonic, seated INSIDE Christ in heavenly(3rd heavens) realms where we are able to speak and declare and bring things on earth into divine order. How do you do that? You spend time with Jesus in worship. You turn off the news that has been causing you to fight with your fists and mind and step into a higher dimension. From there you will find your keys and suddenly find that you are no longer running around trying to put out fires but you will be effective at tearing down strongholds and seeing God move in your life and the world around you.

So with that in mind, this week I want to prophesy OVER YOU but also encourage you to prophesy with me in these areas:

SPEAK TO SLAMMED SHUT DOORS

Firstly, I feel to prophesy over the areas of your life that seem like they are completely shut and out of reach right now. Maybe you came into 2020 full of promise and expectation but have felt like one after the other doors have continued to slam shut around you both in the natural and in the spiritual. Maybe these are doors in your business or ventures where what you were planning now seems impossible or stopped from moving forward. Maybe these are the doors that if felt like God was leading you to and now you feel confused as to why they are suddenly dead ends. Maybe this is where you are doing “all you can do to stand” and still it feels like nothing is budging. I prophesy that those CLOSED & IMPOSSIBLE doors are opening! Don’t give up yet. Don’t throw in the towel because it looks like there is no way forward. God is going to provide a way forward where there seems to be no way! I hear the Lord saying “Get out your song, release your cry, and SPEAK to the doors!” and YOU WILL lift out of the rut you feel in. Every single obstacle surrounding you is going to be level ground because this week God is turning the key of FAVOR that will cause every and all doors that you need to SWING WIDE OPEN! I prophesy that every door that God wants open to be opened NOW in Jesus' name. Pray this week with authority and declare “Nothing can stop the doors opening that God has destined for me in Jesus' name!”

SPEAK TO THE DOORS OF DELAY

We have entered a time of “sped up time” where the spirit realm has increased and we can see that in the earth where what normally would happen or transpire over decades is happening in a shorter span of time. That is the earth is birth pangs and God is readying is for the greatest harvest, so what’s in the enemies arsenal in a time of rapid momentum? Delay. That’s why you feel that strange and frustrating tension between your spirit man which is moving ahead in leaps in bounds and sensing the movement, but your head is constantly dealing with the confusion of seeing earthly doors of delay. For many it’s just feeling like everything in front of them is slow and tedious. Maybe this is where you feel like you are always taking the long way around, the long route, or the more complicated path. Maybe for you, the doors of delay are the pressures, unusual roadblocks, or the legal red tape and processes that you keep finding are stuck in a holding pattern. These doors need to be shut. The enemy can no longer intercept your promises, it’s a violation and you need to shut all points of delay and command the angel armies of heaven to bring you the breakthrough or answer you need right now.

SPEAK TO THE DOORS OF RESOURCE

I woke up feeling to pray over the opening of the doors of extreme resource. What I mean by extreme was that I saw that God was wanting us to experience not just His faithfulness in this season and for right now but also for the future and past. That is God pouring out such a blessing that squared away the robbery and famines of the past but also poured out the needed resources for now into the future. I saw that the doors of resources go far beyond finances but open up all the puzzle pieces for those who are needing certain areas to come together for their kingdom purpose. With this comes the wisdom, strategies, and blueprints to know how to step into new ventures, be in certain partnerships, investing, buying, and beginning new things. The enemy has wanted this door closed because he has been working hard to starve out Christians so they forsake God's door of resource and create Ishmaels in orchestrating their own. I prophesy for those doors to open NOW in Jesus' name! Pray with me that every door or favor and resource the body of Christ and YOU need will be opened and not shut up in Jesus' name!

SPEAK TO THE DOORS OF CHATTER & CHAOS

In this season there has been such an onslaught of witchcraft chatter in the form of judgment, accusation, and slander and when it lands on its recipient it wreaks havoc and chaos upon them and their family. Years ago I would be taken out by this and it would take me days or even longer before I realized what was happening and break the words against me. The doors of chatter and chaos are loud right now and pulling less discerning people into its devices and causing Christians to fight and war against each other out of the need to be right, justified, and validated. It is causing literal chaos and mental torment to enter people's lives and homes and that is not ok as people partner with the accuser and spew hate and accusation and these doors need to be closed. So right now I command EVERY WORD that has come at you that doesn’t originate in heaven to be destroyed, and every door of chaos to be SHUT in the name of Jesus!

SPEAK TO THE DOORS OF TERROR AND CALAMITY

As I was praying I heard the Lord say to speak these following global doors to be shut and replaced. The first door I sensed was the door of terror and calamity around the nations of the earth right now where the enemy wants to cause tumult, anarchy, and global chaos by inciting fear and hatred which results in wars. I feel like we are in a window of time where we need to be covering the nations of the earth in the blood of Jesus and taking authority over the hidden plans and plots of the enemy that are using people as puppets to create it. There are hidden agendas running rampant right now to bring about the movements of man that DO NOT originate in the heart of God. At its core, it is terrorism disguised as freedom and rights and is not building nations but destroying them, and this door needs to be shut. I command every door of terrorism around the globe to be shut right now and every plot to be exposed by the light of Jesus!

SPEAK TO THE DOORS IN CITIES & NATIONS

More than ever before we need to speak to the doors of cities and nations and I’ve been sensing to pray specifically into influential gateways where there is the most spiritual tension. Where it feels like the spiritual battle is at its peak and to take authority over it. Last week I dreamt of two cities going through a 2nd heaven war - Washington D.C and San Francisco. It was like the belt of America’s waistline was being squeezed hinging on these two points and both the good and the bad were being revealed. There are so many other cities and nations that God wants us to cover in prayer and speak over right now, in fact, God is right now repositioning and recommissioning watchman around the world right now to watch over nations in its hour of birth pangs. Are you taking authority over what is happening in your city or just adding to the noise? Anything that happens in your city and nation that is not from God YOU can take authority over. In fact, Psalms 24:7 says that YOU are the door!

“So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you”

So step out of hopelessness and begin to decree today and shut the doors of the enemy and for you to awaken and BE THE DOOR in your region that the King of Glory comes through. Speak to the doors of the enemy to be shut in your city and for the doors of the kingdom to be open. Speak and prophesy that the Glory of God would realign the nations and cause every demonic plan to come to nothing.

THE HELD BACK ROAR

The last part of the dream that I didn’t share was that I felt intimidated by the swirling moving doors and when God said to “SPEAK” I felt quite muted. Maybe you have felt that way lately like your voice is tired and weary and a little intimidated by what is happening around the world and also directly in your own life. I see a global sound rising of a roar that has been held back by a people that the enemy has wanted to keep on mute for a long long time, but right now we are getting our roar back so we can SPEAK to things to doors that need to be shut and open doors that need to be open. Don’t be a victim another day longer, get your voice back and your roar back. This is the body of Christ's Hosea 2:14-23 season and we are moving out of the wilderness and back to the table of promise. Out from being under and rising above. I prophesy that you are going to feel strength and fire come back to you where you have felt defeated and depleted and in the days to come you will begin to hear your breakthrough roar begin to bellow up from the deep and YOU WILL MOVE FORWARD without restriction, see STRONGHOLDS BREAK, and live VICTORIOUSLY once again in Jesus name!

"I will place upon his shoulders the key to the treasures of David’s palace. He will open doors that no one can shut, and he will shut doors that no one can open" Isaiah 22:22

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

THIS WEEK DANCE UPON YOUR INJUSTICE!

By Nate Johnston • June 17, 2025

I have a prophetic word for you that I believe is a powerful prophetic key and instruction for those who’ve been dealing with areas of injustice and warfare delaying breakthrough. I believe this word is going to break things open in the spirit, things that have been hanging over you, looming over you, and warring against you from every side for such a long period of time. This whole past weekend I’ve felt an agitation in my spirit that I normally only feel when I am pushed or pressed into a corner in my life but I knew it was intercessory. I knew it was an indicator of sorts that I was picking up on something taking place in the spirit. At first it felt like I was brooding over America, over California, and over the state of the nation and the heart of the church in America. Then it shifted and I found myself praying over Australia and the nations feeling the injustices taking place in so many ways. But no matter how much I prayed this burden lingered so I began to really ask the Lord, “What am I sensing? What am I feeling?” Then suddenly I went into a vision. I saw what I knew to be from 2 Samuel 6 where David danced as the ark was brought back to its rightful place. But what I saw in the vision felt not just dancing as a worship or celebration but more militant. It felt like a fight in the spirit of a taking back of ground. It was fierce and potent and I could feel the anointing coming off of it like it was a divine readjustment and a coming back into alignment with heaven’s order. This shifted the way I saw this historical and prophetic moment. It was worship yes, but it was a spiritual turning point unto national restoration - the return of God’s tangible presence to the heart of the nation after a long absence. It was not some hippy dance of a king that was happy to see a treasured artifact come back to its proper resting place, it was spontaneous, passionate, and unashamed yet It was also politically and spiritually declaring Gods kingship above all. As if David was physically declaring victory over injustice, corruption, and spiritual darkness. Wow! And so I said, “Lord, what am I seeing?” And I heard, “It’s the dancing upon injustice.” Instantly it clicked that this is what is taking place right now. It’s happening in the nation of America and it’s happening in the nations of the Earth. There is a divine shift taking place where God is actually asking the Body of Christ to step into an intercessory place to see a divine reversal of the robbery and injustices that have been occurring. God is bringing things back into order. He’s turning the hearts of nations and He’s turning things around. Then I heard the Lord say “I’m turning back the clock over the nation of America.” I saw a clock begin to tick backward then faster, and faster, and faster. And I knew it was connected to the dance. The dance of intercession reversed the clock. It was the intercession that actually turned back the clock of time, turned back the enemy’s hand that had laid waste and ruin upon the nations. Then I saw it on a micro level where individuals all around the Earth began feeling this agitation as something started shifting, and then I heard it again “It’s time to dance upon injustice!” And right now, so many of us are feeling this agitation. We’re feeling pushback. We’re feeling discontent. We’re feeling frustration in our spirit. But I want to tell you is that this frustration is actually the Lord leading you to dance upon injustices in your nation, in your city, in your region but even now in your own life. You have to understand, we’ve been in a cycle of time where injustices have mounted up. They’ve piled up. And what happens when injustices and robberies and warfare pile up over time? It’s like it blots out the sun and you’re unable to see what God is doing anymore. Hope deferred sets in. Constant robbery makes you weary, because you’ve been putting out fires in your own strength just to keep clearing the way enough to survive. Eventually, you no longer see what God is doing. You no longer remember Him as the Justice-Giver (Isaiah 30:18), as the One who redeems your life from destruction (Psalm 103:4), as the Judge who slams down the gavel in your favor (Psalm 7:11). But let me tell you something - right now, we’re in a moment where the Lord is saying “The key in this moment is to dance upon injustice. And won’t I do it? Won’t I shift all of these things around? Won’t I turn back the clock!even in your own life?” That is what the Lord is saying over you! So right now I’m breaking off the hope deferred, and the weariness of the fight in the mighty name of Jesus! Let the frustration you’ve been feeling this week turn into a dance. Let it turn into intercession. I want to encourage you this week - fight back in the spirit. Fight back not with your head, not with your soul, not with your mind but with your spirit. Begin to dance upon injustice and in the face of the mocking situations in your life you will say what David said: “I will become even more undignified than this” 2 Samuel 6:22 I believe therein lies the key for us as the Church this week - Don’t hold back. Dance upon injustice. Be more undignified Church. PUSH BACK THE DARKNESS! DEFY THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE! PICK UP YOUR AUTHORITY AGAIN! This is also a governmental decree for us. We must shift. We must come out of our caves. We must come out of timidity. We must stop trying to pander to the culture of this world and to those who don’t understand spiritual things, spiritual realities, and spiritual mechanics. We must call things as they are. The world Is severely blinded. They don’t see what you do. And much of the church are also very influenced by the enemy, blinded, milk fed, and have no discernment. But regardless you must push through. This week, as you dance upon injustice, it’s going to break off the fear of man that’s been keeping you caged and muzzled. It’s going to unleash the prophetic voice that God has given you in this hour that has been silenced. Now watch as God turns back the clock. This week I’m praying that the funds that you’ve been needing to move ahead will come. That the things God has prepared for you to inherit, you will step into. That the doors that need to open will swing wide. That the cases held up in courtrooms spiritually and naturally must be released this week. God is bringing finality to situations in your life that have been in limbo. He’s finalizing and bringing closure to those financial situations, to those relational situations, to those health situations. Suddenly, solutions will come. God is clearing the debris and clearing the overheads of your life. If you believe it, this week begin to dance. Begin to pray. Begin to decree. Begin to prophesy. Break out of that place of timidity, fear, and feeling depleted and defeated because the Lord say “Dance upon injustice and watch Me do the work.”

THE RISE OF THE HEALERS

By Nate Johnston • June 13, 2025

I believe we are in a window of time right now where God is turning the institutional church back into a hospital again. Just this sentence alone feels like a deep branding upon my heart because I’ve seen it in dreams increasing over the last year - a wounded and battered church and a bound world, but who will restore them? Recently, the Lord spoke to me through a personal experience. I had to go to the dentist for some intense tooth pain, and after visiting two different places neither would fix the issue. I knew there was something prophetic in it. Then the Lord said to me, “Many of my sick, broken, and demonized have been coming into churches, but they are not being delivered or set free.” Ah...there it was. But right now, God is raising up the healers again In a time when the earth more than ever before needs to see the rise of a healing church, a hospital church. Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free!

THIS WEEK DANCE UPON YOUR INJUSTICE!

THE RISE OF THE HEALERS

By Nate Johnston • June 13, 2025

STUCK IN LAST SEASON’S BATTLE BONDAGE? HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU BEHIND!

By Nate Johnston • June 10, 2025

As I stood on the rocks at Pirates Cove yesterday, watching hundreds of people being baptized, I was overwhelmed by what I was seeing. History yet again was being written. I thanked God for the hunger that was present that day and the day before when we gathered - the countless people encountering the presence and power of God. Clearly, God is moving right now on the earth in a new and fresh way. But as I stood there, these words suddenly rose in my spirit - “He leaves no one behind” It rocked me thinking about the seasons in my life when I felt lonely, abandoned, and lost when people around me were experiencing the opposite. It’s easy in moments of heartache, hope deferred, and deep brokenness to feel like you’re the only one going through it. It’s easy to feel like others are advancing and thriving while you’re still stuck, and still broken. But I believe God wants to encourage those who feel stuck this week, those who feel left behind in the past seasons battle and battle weariness and bondage. Those who feel unable to move forward because of pain from the past and the wounds it inflicted. God is not going to leave you behind! I’m reminded of the man who sat by the Pool of Bethesda because he couldn’t walk. “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years… Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.’ At once the man was cured” — John 5:1-9 That pool was surrounded by people who were sick, lame, and broken down, all hoping to be the one who got their fresh start. And right now in the midst of revival fires beginning to burn and something fresh that God is doing, many still feel stuck. David said it well in the psalms; “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” — Psalm 13:1 And like David many are saying; God, I don’t feel like I’ve moved anywhere. Nothing has shifted for me. I’m still dealing with the same situations, the same lack, the same health problems, the same relational and family issues. God, have You forgotten me?” But just like the man at the Pool of Bethesda, God did not leave him behind. Jesus went to him directly, healed him, and gave him a new beginning. Think of the woman at the well. “A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’— John 4:4-7 She felt judged, abandoned, and lonely yet Jesus met her in that very place. He leaves no one behind. So I prophesy over you this week - You are going to have encounters with Jesus, where He reveals His heart to you in the very place you feel stuck. You’re going to experience the breakthrough power of God in your life, power that will shift you out of pain, brokenness, and those continual cycles of dysfunction, addiction, and torment. The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1 And right now many are carrying the spiritual bondage from past seasons and it feels like a massive blockage in the road but they just don’t know how to get rid of it. It’s heavy, it’s like a poison that won’t seem to flush from your system. It’s got its roots in deep but it’s no match for the power of God. In a moment the Holy Spirit can take an axe to those obstacles. Right now as I’m writing this I see them in the spirit like bricks cemented in but the Lord is right now shaking them loose! They must go! Every demonic spirit hanging around you trying to keep you tethered to bondage leave now in Jesus name! Shame go! Unclean spirits leave! As we were leaving the gathering on Saturday (the day before Pentecost Sunday), I met an amazing woman of God. I got to witness her encounter Jesus in a powerful way. We saw God completely set her free from a demonic assignment that had been following her around. Then, I got to take part in her baptism there at the famous Pirates Cove. I could feel it - she had felt a little left behind. I hadn’t prayed for her that day. Yet just as we were walking out, God ordained that moment. It was her time. I felt the loving compassion of God so strongly because I’ve been in those moments. Moments when I felt forgotten. When it felt like no one saw me. But friend He sees you. You are not left behind. I imagine the day when the believers were in the upper room. They came out speaking in tongues. Yes, some mocked them. But imagine if you were one of the 500 originally there and the enemy lied to you, and you left the room too soon. You would have missed it. “God, I’ve faithfully served You… and I missed it?” Ouch… that is it right there. So many people feel like that right now. But the Lord wants you to know - You are seen. You are not forgotten. He will not leave you behind. Right now, He is rescuing you from the grip of that past season and ushering you into a new one even as you read these words. I command every chain, every tie to your past that’s held you back to break NOW in the mighty name of Jesus. And I pray that ALL yokes break off your life, and that the Holy Spirit fills your heart and cup anew in Jesus’ name. Now watch this week as God reveals himself to you in a new way. Through dreams. God kisses. Signs of His goodness. Your old chapter has ended. It’s time to step into the new.

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025

I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name!
