THREE PROPHETIC DREAMS: THE CLASSROOM OF REVIVAL, & THE ISSACHAR ARMY EMERGING

THREE PROPHETIC DREAMS: THE CLASSROOM OF REVIVAL, & THE ISSACHAR ARMY EMERGING

I want to share three dreams I had recently that have gripped me deeply, and to be honest, have convicted me and commissioned me for the days ahead. I pray they do the same for you. 


DREAM 1: CLASSROOM IS IN SESSION


In the first dream, I was in a classroom about to teach but didn’t have a message prepared. As I looked around the room I saw faces of people in bondage to different demonic agendas staring back at me and instantly sensed that the Lord wanted to bring deliverance to them. A young generation Z guy stood out to me in the second row and I walked over to Him and when I put my hand on his head he shook and began to get delivered. Suddenly he spoke “I am progressive Christianity and we are taking over!” and I continued to pray and speak truth over him till it left. After that, I looked around the room and could see God moving and delivering others. As I walked towards one girl she suddenly blurted out “I am worldly love and tolerance” and then was delivered. Then another yells out “I am compliance and conformity to culture!” and another says “I am perversion!” and then another says “I am the fear of man!”. The whole room was being delivered and I could feel the pure love of God flooding the room. Then I walked back to the young man I first prayed for and bent down and I said “The Lord says it’s time to encounter His face and be lost in His gaze once again” and suddenly he and the rest of the room fell to the floor in repentance and worship. The dream ended. So let me share what I feel the Lord saying;


  • The classroom of students is the church right now and God is declaring that the classroom is back in session.
  • God is bringing exposure, deliverance, and healing to where we have fallen for the lies and counterfeits of the enemy. 
  • God is revealing where we have made idols out of social justice movements that didn’t originate from Him. 
  • God is bringing deliverance to the church where we have partnered with mixture and started preaching a different gospel- a culture-friendly gospel. 
  • God is delivering the church from the fear of man, and the loosing us from the false love that tolerates evil and calls it good. 
  • God is bringing the church back to its first love, back to encounter, and back to His face where we cannot be perverted or taken off course. 
  • Right now there is a move of deep repentance taking place where many are beginning to have their veils removed and see what they couldn’t see before.
  • Catching the wave that is coming depends on us being novices and teachable again. We don’t want to be so experienced that we miss the wave that is in front of us. 
  • We don’t want to be the critic or the expert right now but the surrendered 
  • We need to get our gaze and wonder back because a church without intimacy becomes a humanistic/intellectually driven church that isn’t led by the spirit. 
  • When we aren’t spirit-led we catch the wrong wave. 
  • The world needs revival and a church that is revived not deceived. Let’s represent Him well. 

DREAM 2: THE THRESHING ROOM FLOOR


In the second dream, I was witnessing what I could only describe as a threshing room floor process but instead of grain, there were tens of people laying down on the floor. I watched as they endured the crushing, and then the fire over and over. Then I heard the Lord say “Now for the wind!” then a hurricane-force wind entered the room and people began to stand to their feet. Then the Lord spoke again “The true church is emerging!” This is what I feel the Lord is saying;


  • The church has been in the threshing room floor process where God is separating what is good and what isn’t. What is Him and what isn’t. 
  • It’s a "tares and wheat" season and God has sent them into the threshing floor for processing. 
  • We have all been experiencing this process and it’s been difficult and painful as God has been removing what has been keeping us in bondage. 
  • The people on the threshing room floor are us, the church and God has been bringing us through the refiner's fire not to harm us or shame us but to FREE us and ready us for what is to come. 
  • The church has been through the fire and endured the crushing but we are about to experience the wind of the Spirit! It’s the winnowing that leaves the dead and old behind and reveals the new. 
  • The true church is emerging and you are going to experience a second wind!
  • The church is about to experience a fresh baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire! 
“ Those who repent I baptize with water, but there is coming a man after me who is more powerful than I. In fact, I’m not even worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will submerge you into union with the Spirit of Holiness and with a raging fire! He comes with a winnowing fork in his hands and comes to his threshing floor to sift what is worthless from what is pure. And he is ready to sweep out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his granary, but the straw he will burn up with a fire that can’t be extinguished!” Matthew 3:11-12

DREAM 3: TIME FOR THE PROPHETIC 2.0


The third dream was an audible one where the Lord simply said “Where are the prophets? Where did they go? It’s time for Issachar to rise up! It’s time for Issachar to rise up! There is specific revelation I want to give and strategies I want to hand them to build. I have insight for nations and cities that will evict principalities and break down walls of darkness. There are keys that I want to give them. It’s time for Issachar to arise and lead the charge!” When I woke up I felt the fear of the Lord envelop me and I felt areas where I felt like had even been taming my voice. I felt the conviction of heaven on me and a new boldness and purpose rise up in me. This is what I felt like the Lord is speaking;



  • Firstly, when the Lord said “where are the prophets?” I knew it was in reference to the many prophets that went into hiding prior to or after the US election in January. The assault on the prophetic movement was so severe that it took many out. I believe God is healing and reviving those who felt like they fell in the battlefield and have been stuck since. 
  • When I heard “where are the prophets?” My spirit heard “where have my weighty glory prophets gone?” The enemy has targeted the weighty, unedited word of the Lord by hurling the fear of man and fear of reputation at them and many have changed their message, BUT the Lord is right now removing the fear that caused them to change what they were called to say. 
  • God has been refining the house of the prophets and from the ashes has forged and commissioned a new breed of prophets who like Gideon’s men will NOT be sold out to culture or to the praises of man. This 2.0 is the result of the refiner's fire and the threshing floor that is producing an army of warriors that will stand and persist and set their faces like flint. 
  • They will restore the office of a prophet to its former glory and we will see a wave of prophetic heavyweights rise up. 
  • So who are the sons of Issachar? Genesis 49:14 says that “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds” The two places it is speaking about is Manasseh(withdrawal, debt, hope evaporated) and Zebulun (The wished-for dwelling place, promise) 
  • I believe Issachar is the prophetic anointing to take people and nations from lack and debt and into the promise. They stand in the gap and speak and prophesy leading the way into the new day. 
  • 1 Chronicles 12:32 says “from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do” This means they had the anointing and responsibility of knowing the times and seasons, knowing what God was doing, and received the blueprints and practical knowledge of how to walk it out. 
  • The name Issachar means "there is recompense" and just like the name suggests these ones can see the promise arising from the ashes of the wilderness and speak restoration in the middle of calamity. 
  • The Issachar prophets are critical in these times because they can sense the changes and shifts in specific epoch cycles and help give a roadmap and clarity to both the macro and micro-processes. They know how to speak. Governmentally and also personally to those walking through blind or unknown periods and connects the dots for those feeling lost and hopeless. 
  • These prophets know that government is not a dirty word and that it’s actually a major component of the call. Remove that and you have lost your major sphere of impact. 
  • This dream revealed to me God's heart for the prophetic church. We are so easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater but without the prophets, we are sitting ducks. 
  • I believe God is right now stirring up the hearts of those who have dropped their zeal and voice and He is asking you to pick it up again.
  • He is commissioning a new army and a new sound of prophets who will lead the charge into this glorious new season. Will you pick up the baton?

HEAVEN IS WAITING ON YOU TO PICK UP YOUR PEN!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
Too many God-breathed messages never make it to the page. Not because they aren’t powerful, but because the writer feels unworthy or fears it will be too much for people to handle. Sound familiar? Fear of rejection. Impostor syndrome. Shrinking your voice to fit the mold. These are the lies that have kept prophetic messengers silent for far too long. But not anymore. On May 5, we begin Masterclass 2: Messages on Fire. We’re going after the root of fear and disqualification, so you can finally write the message you were born to release with fire, clarity, and holy boldness. This isn’t just a class. It’s a permission slip to burn. Your voice matters. Your message carries weight. Let’s unlock it.

THEY TOLD YOU TO TONE IT DOWN...HEAVEN'S TELLING YOU TO TURN IT UP!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
If you’ve ever felt like your message is too intense, too prophetic, too outside the box— you’re probably carrying something heaven-breathed. But somewhere along the way, the fear crept in: “What if they misunderstand me?” “What if I’m not qualified to say this?” “Who am I to write like this?” Let’s get something clear: You were never meant to write a safe message. You were meant to write a holy disruption. Join us May 5 for MESSAGES ON FIRE, a 4-week masterclass where we expose fear, confront imposter syndrome, and ignite the message that’s been burning inside you for years. You don’t need more approval. You need permission to go full fire. It’s time to write it. Unfiltered. Un-compromised. Unapologetically you.

YOU ARE DETOXING THE POISON OF THE PAST

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