THREE SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENTS BEING BROKEN BEFORE YOU CROSS OVER

THREE SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENTS BEING BROKEN BEFORE YOU CROSS OVER

THREE SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENTS BEING BROKEN BEFORE YOU CROSS OVER

Today I had a vision of woman that was covered in sores and had arrows sticking out of her back. It was a confronting sight. Then I heard the Lord say “Pull the arrows out and administer the oil!” 

I knew right away that this woman represented those who had been victims of relentless spiritual attacks in the past season and God was wanting them healed before they stepped into the promise otherwise they wouldn’t be able to effectively embrace the season.  Just as Joshua had to circumsize the men before going any further in the promised land God is wanting us healed before we go any further. Many are feeling the tug of destiny but still feel the sting, the defilement, the poison, and bitterness from the season of opposition and spiritual oppression. Even though we haven’t caused these attacks we do need to deal with the after-effects of these battles in the same way a warrior would clean himself up after a lengthy onslaught. If you have been feeling like you are still in the after-shock of it all I believe God wants to do that in you today.

BETRAYAL’S POISON

The first assignment I sensed was betrayal. God is healing those who have been poisoned by betrayal in this season and it has felt like no matter how much time has passed you can still feel the poison of it affecting your everyday life. It was not Jesus’ fault that Judas betrayed him and is often a very common assignment of assassination sent right before a powerful destiny moment. I kept hearing “I feel exposed” and that is how many have felt. Not just shamed and judged, weighed, and misunderstood but viciously exposed. Betrayal has been an assignment of the enemy to cause people to feel like a failure and not up to the task God has been preparing them for. Betrayal will cause you to shut yourself off from people and “self-protect” and ultimately sabotage yourself from ever accepting the genuine family God wants to bring you. Firstly, forgive yourself that you didn’t see it. Forgive the people that betrayed you, then let Holy Spirit remove the poison once and for all. There are relational alignments and vows that you may have made in this season that also need to be severed in the spirit. So ask Holy Spirit right now to sever soul ties and vows you entered into with the wrong people then let Him extract the shame and clothe your nakedness. It’s a new day and God wants to cover you with His Glory and cause your dark betrayal to become a glorious anointing for breakthrough. 

WITCHCRAFT’S WORDS

The second assignment that I sensed was witchcraft. Witchcraft has come as a very divisive noise pollution in this season to surround you with lies from the enemy til you slowly break down and give up. Witchcraft is often the most common tactic of the enemy because he not only likes to enlist people to talk, gossip, and even pray against you, but he hopes you take the bait and do the same back. This only keeps you locked into the cycle and clutters your heart and soul. Many have been feeling like this season has been one long battle of words coming at them like arrows, judgements, accusations, and lies to try to make them cave into the intimidating assault. Witchcraft is like an assault of the airwaves at you and feels like every atmosphere is thick with tension and chaos. It will stifle creativity and block revelation, hinder fresh vision and at all costs wants you not to be in the presence of God where witchcraft is always exposed and cancelled. I felt that people are still carrying around the boils of curse-words, judgements and lying voices that have somewhat tainted the prophetic promises of God and brought disillusion. God wants to cancel the noise coming at you, break off the words and curses off your life, and restore truth and clarity back to you. So today take authority over this assignment, cancel the words and the effect it’s had on you, and it’s toll. It will not clog up the airwaves around your life any further and cause you to live restless, fumbling, and frustrated as you come into your new day. As this breaks watch as you begin to hear more clearly than you ever have before. Watch as you feel the supernatural peace of God flooding your life, the scattered pieces suddenly come together, and the delay is no more! 

JEZEBEL’S MUZZLE

The assignment of Jezebel in this season has been primarily to shut down the voices that God is raising up, and those who God is launching into new seasons of kingdom exploits. For these, It has felt like a constant war of the mind battling fear, insecurity, and oppression. It has also felt like you have been muzzled, foggy-headed and unable to hear God like you used to. All of these tactics are to disconnect from the heart of God so you are diverted from your crossing over moment. The enemy has even used people to squash you, trample you, usurp you, and delay you from your new doors and opportunities but God isn’t going to let this win over you. That muzzle is coming off and the irrational fear is leaving your life for God. You are not owned and this spirit cannot claim what God has washed in his blood. You are His and every cord attached to this kind of controlling and manipulative spirit is right now being severed. God is moving things and people out of your life that constantly keep you bound in a season you are meant to soar in. Even right now the chains are being broken in the name of Jesus. I keep hearing the Lord say to someone “Stop messaging them!”. There are people whose hearts aren’t as for you as you think and you keep being muzzled the more you open your heart to them and give them information about the inner workings of your life. As this breaks watch as prophecy begins to bubble forth from you again and boldness, courage, and POWER flows from your tongue. 

LIGHTNING DELIVERANCE

“Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them” Isaiah 144:6

As I’m writing this I keep hearing the words “lightning deliverance”. God wants to set you free right now. It’s a breaker moment that God wants to give you a brand new start. The ropes are being cut and that page of your book is closing.  You aren’t a slave to the enemy’s devices anymore, down out and under the weight his false prophecies over your life, no! You are not a victim, a beggar, or a leper. It’s time to pull the arrows out of your back and dust off your feet, pick up your pearls, and close the door never looking back. You are going to dance again, laugh again, and your heart will sing a brand new song! 

So I’m going to pray over you and pull out arrows and administer the oil of Gods healing presence to all break spiritual assignments that have been clinging onto you. In addition to this pray whatever you hear Holy Spirit saying to you that is specific to your life. 

Holy Spirit firstly I rebuke these spiritual assignments that have sought to kill my destiny in its infancy and take me out of the game. These assignments have no more place of influence or access to me in Jesus name! 

Lord, I’m sorry for what I have allowed them to bully me and keep me in bondage, for my words and vows that keep opening the door to these assignments to affect my life. I recognize that I don’t wrestle flesh and blood so I forgive those who betrayed me, spoke against me, and stabbed me in the back. I give you any bitterness I have been carrying, and I choose not to carry it any further. Holy Spirit you are my healer and I ask you to remove every arrow that has pierced me and wounded me unknowingly in this season. I’ve been walking around as a victim and I know you don’t want me to be that way. Remove every lie. Every strike and blow that came at me. Heal the wounds, Lord. Now I ask for the healing balm, your healing oil to flow over me and remove the boils and defiling remains of these battles. Who the Son sets free is free indeed and you are renewing my youth like the eagles in Jesus name! 

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners” Isaiah 61:1

By Nate Johnston June 30, 2025
(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s )  This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

The hour of the nameless and faceless has come.
By Nate Johnston June 25, 2025
We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And 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 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4
