TO THE REMNANT - WE ARE IN A 222 MOMENT

TO THE REMNANT - WE ARE IN A 222 MOMENT

TO THE REMNANT - WE ARE IN A 222 MOMENT

 

I had a dream a few nights ago where a revivalist friend handed me a key that had Daniel 2:22 written on it. 

“He reveals deep and hidden things;
  he knows what lies in darkness,
  and light dwells with him” Daniel 2:22

He then simply looked at me and said “Now go!”

When I woke up I began to write down these following bullet-point revelations that gushed out of me.

PICK UP YOUR KEYS AGAIN!

We are in a moment where God is wanting us to pick up our authority again where we have forfeited it. 
We are in a moment of breaking powerlessness and defeat we have settled in and violently shaking off bonds of weariness around us. 
We are in a moment of leaving survival and the camp “stuck and shipwrecked” we have been in.
We are in a moment of occupy and increase, and not a season of maintenance. 
We are in a moment of recovery and recompense. 

222 DOORS ARE SWINGING WIDE

We are in a moment of wrong doors closing and promise doors opening. 
We are in a time of the UNLOCKING of places, resources, and areas that have been locked up and out of access for some time. 
We are in a time of entering promises we have been contending with for 3, 7, and 10-year periods. 
We are exiting doors and alignments that have kept us stuck or limited. 
We are in a moment of pursuing doors and jumping out at God's opportunities that we missed in past seasons. 
We are in a kairos time of obtaining what has felt unobtainable in the past. (The doors that have looked the most shut are about to fling wide open)
This is for those in waiting to get their “GO” again.

A SEASON OF DEEP REVELATION

We are entering a season of deep revelation and encounter where God pulls back the curtain and reveals where we are going. 
We are entering a season of endless dreams and visions. 
We are entering a time of deep calling into deep and God resetting hearts that have been out of sync. 
We are in a moment of battle plans, blueprints, and strategies being released for giants in our path we haven’t known how to take down. 
We are in a moment of visitation and encounter where the Lord re-brands the hearts of those who have felt cold and weary. 
We are in a moment of refreshing revelation that answers the questions of the waiting and gives a fresh vision for the future. 
We are in a time of receiving new themes and messages on God's heart for his church. 

REVEALING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN

We are in a time where God is unveiling his hidden troops that have been in waiting. 
He is breaking the doors off the hidden places where his remnant has been in process and being battle readied. 
He is revealing his plans for the days to come which will be manifested through a nameless and faceless people set aside for this moment. 
He is revealing his end-time army and end-time expressions around the earth to usher in the greatest harvest. 
He is revealing the way forward for a church that has been stuck in the old thing. 
He is inviting and leading the church globally into a reset of methods and ways and showing them where he is going and where he isn’t. 

EXPOSURE TO THE ENEMIES PLANS

We are in a moment of major exposure to the enemy's tactics and plans and its far reaches. 
We are in a moment of catching the enemy red-handed where he has pulled the wool over the eyes of so many elect and even the body of Christ. 
It’s a deliverance moment where blinders are breaking and those who have been brainwashed are waking up. 
This will be a deep “aha” moment for the church as they see where they have been in the mixture and caught up in the demonic narratives of culture. 
It’s a breaking alliances moment for those who have agreed with the enemy and his values and views. 
We are in a time where we are going to see the enemy's plans globally on full display and an opportunity for the church to arise and be the answer and solution. 

PULLING OUT THE ROOT SYSTEMS 

We are in a time of tearing and pulling out demonic root systems personally and corporately. 
That which has been hidden is coming to light and that which has thrived in darkness is now being exposed to the light. 
God is evicting principalities and powers in cities and regions, and releasing an army to occupy those places. 
We are in a time of change and the changing of the guard. Old roots are dying and God is unveiling the new shoots of a new era. 
New leaders and spearheads are rising up around the earth to strike the ground. 
Empires of wickedness are going to keep being exposed and crumble. 
This will be a time when the facades of Christianity are being revealed and what is true will shine forth. 

LIGHT & CLARITY IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT

This is a moment where we will see such an uprising of true justice and kingdom light released on the earth. 
Cities in darkness are about to be illuminated on the map as courageous ones rise up and let their voices be heard. 
The light will overcome the darkness and be a no contest. 
The light doesn’t argue personalities but principalities and we will see a shift from warring against man to warring against darkness. 
And this will be a moment of the pathway lit up for those who have been waiting for their next orders and clarity coming. 
This will be a moment of dots connecting, instructions dropping, and feet moving once again. 
And the glory of God will be revealed in the earth. 

Arise, shine, for your light has come,
  and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
  and thick darkness is over the people,
but the Lord rises upon you
  and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
  and kings to the brightness of your dawn” Isaiah 6”:1-3

THEN THE LORD SPOKE

“There is a commissioning call that is going forth in this hour for my laid-down lovers who have not been seeking doors of opportunity but have been seeking me. My remnant, my set aside, my set of part ones, my holy forerunners. In this hour, I'm branding them with the messages that I've reserved for this moment. I'm branding them with my heartbeat that will shake the earth and bring it back to my heart. 

I'm going to use them to overturn, wickedness and darkness in secret and dark places. I'm going to use them to turn nations back to me once again. But many have said, but I'm stuck. And they have said, but I'm in a bind and I do not know my way forward. But no, they have not been stuck. They've been in processing and refining, and preparing. But now they're about to step into an increased season of hearing. They're about to step into the windows of revelation season and receive fresh manna. And they will pick up their keys again and run with them into the nations. Watch now as dead movements come back to life and watch now as dead places begin to come back to life and watch now as streams begin to flow in the desert once again. And watch now as doors begin to open that have looked closed and shut and, and hearts that have been closed suddenly become soft once again. This is a time when I am reshaping my church. I'm molding my church and I'm forming my bride. So get ready, my mighty set-aside ones. Get ready. Pay attention to what I give you in the night seasons. 

Posture yourself before me. This is not a time to run ahead of me. This is a time to run with me. This is a time to be sensitive to my, to my leading and be clothed by my spirit.

YOU ARE INBETWEEN RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • July 11, 2025
Inbetween what you were doing and what you are stepping into. Inbetween alignments you had and the tribe coming. Inbetween the last seasons revelation that sustained and carried you and the fresh oil coming from the crushing and warfare. Inbetween language and a message you knew fluently and a new sound in your belly you don’t yet recognise. Inbetween an old mantle that had to go and the mantle you don’t understand or know how to fully trust yet. Inbetween breaking and the incoming breakthrough.. Inbetween feeling exhausted and spiritually crashed, and the fresh fire and awakening stirring inside you. Inbetween the battlefield of your last season and the new day dawning. Inbetween the old wineskin and the fresh outpouring. Inbetween the funeral song and the full recovery. Inbetween the robbery and the recompense. And this is where the ground under your feet feels shaky. Because it’s the garden of gethsemane and instead of praying and prophesying you just want to sleep through it. You want to be anaesthetised instead of enduring the unknown. But I’m writing to you today to say.. ENGAGE! Wake up mighty church. For you aren’t lost. You are the way makers. The soldiers of the breach! And this is a moment where PRAYER and prophecy will unlock the way. Lift your voice mighty ones!

FOR THOSE BURNING THE PLOW & PUTTING ON A NEW MANTLE

By Nate Johnston • July 11, 2025
At first, stepping into a mantle feels unfamiliar and daunting. It’s like the moment that Elijah threw the mantle around Elisha. It was a moment of decision. It was a moment of knowing something needed to be let go. Something had to be forfeited that felt comfortable, that felt… normal. That felt effortless. And I believe that many right now are in this uncomfortable and awkward place where you’re holding on. This awkward and uncomfortable place where there’s something new on your shoulders, and it’s forcing you to a decision because you can’t hold both. You have this mantle, this activity, this assignment, this calling. You’ve been walking in that. You know how to do it well. You know how it operates. You know what it does. Yet there’s this strange sense you’re meant to burn it to the ground and move into something new that feels unfamiliar, that feels unusual, that even feels not like you. It feels like death to everything you’ve ever known about yourself and what you’re called to do. And it feels like a moment where you’re in this awkward place of deep surrender, heart circumcision, and having to yield and surrender all your plans and expectations to God. It’s a moment where the Lord is saying to you, “There’s something greater I have for you. I know it doesn’t make sense right now. I know this is not what you expected that I would put in your lap. Yet, this is what carries my glory. And today the Lord is saying, Will you choose me? Will you choose my glory? Will you choose to step into a greater mantle that’s going to lead you and your family forward for the days to come? Will you surrender your idea of your calling and your destiny? Will you lay down your dreams even to pick up mine? And as you do, I will cause you to flourish and thrive. I’ll cause you to expand to the left and to the right, where you’ve been living in survival, where you’ve been playing it safe, comfortable. This is your breakout. Place mantle upon your shoulders and watch me move mightily upon your life. It’s time to shift out of the dysfunction that’s been sitting there as you’ve been in autopilot, going through the motions. It’s time to step into that fresh mantle that comes with fresh authority, fresh power, and breakthrough. It’s going to break you out of the prison you don’t even know that you’ve been living in. And for those of you who are asking my advice on how to practically begin to step into this mantle, I would say to begin your day on your face before the Lord, just surrendering everything that’s in your hands and in your heart. If it feels painful, it might be that your identity has been wrapped up in your last season’s activity or in the pain and woundedness of things that happened or didn’t happen in your past season. This is also an opportunity just to lay it at the feet of Jesus. I believe the story of Elisha is so applicable for us now. We want a goodbye ceremony just like Elisha did wanting to say goodbye to his mother and father. We want to spend a season in grief, waving off the past season’s accomplishments and failures. It’s a season that is so seductively trying to keep us bound, when the Lord is actually saying right now, “Will you just shut the door?” Will you just shut the door, and will you step into what you don’t understand as a worship? It’s one of those moments where you just have to close your eyes and say, “Okay, Lord.” I know so many who are going through this right now. I’m going through this right now. I know pastors who are shifting into an apostolic grace. Prophets who are beginning to build things and do things that they never had on their radar. It’s a season where you don’t feel qualified for the thing that God’s calling you into. And you don’t feel anointed. But the ironic thing is you are anointed for it. You just don’t know how to operate in it yet. So my advice to you is: get before the Lord. It’s a threshing floor moment. Bring it before Him. Let Him take the old, and let Him begin to help you step into the new.

THREE ASSIGNMENTS TRYING TO DRAIN YOU RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • July 9, 2025
There are three key assignments at work trying to drain your strength in this season. Recognize them and resist them. The first is a shift in anointing and assignment. We’ve entered a new season where the grace, oil, and unction on your life have moved. What worked before no longer carries the same power, and trying to operate in past mantles or rushing into things prematurely will leave you feeling frustrated, depleted, and under unnecessary warfare. When God’s anointing isn’t on something, it drains you instead of refreshing you. Constant frustration, irritation, and exhaustion are signs that you’re out of alignment. Instead of rushing into action, take time to sit with God and discern what He’s doing now. There is a new mantle, a new message, and a new assignment resting on you. Pour your energy into discovering it in His presence. When you wait on His clarity, you’ll stop operating in trial and error and begin to walk with precision. This is not the time for hurried decisions. The enemy is manufacturing false urgency to pressure you into creating something from the flesh, not the Spirit. But God is never in a rush. If peace isn’t present, neither is His hand. Don’t move until there is clarity. Don’t be seduced into birthing an Ishmael. Wait on the Lord. The second assignment is the attack of familiar voices. As you step into something new, the enemy often uses familiar people and old soul ties to try to gain access. These voices may come under the guise of concern or reconnection, but in reality, they are distractions. They pull at your time, energy, and focus, trying to insert themselves into what God is building in your life. This is the same spirit that came after Nehemiah through Sanballat. Sanballat didn’t want to reconnect; he wanted to tear down what was being built. Nehemiah responded with, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.” That must be your posture. The enemy is sending familiar spirits to break your focus and bait you into battles that aren’t yours. Not every voice from the past deserves a response. If you entertain the wrong conversations, you’ll lose momentum in your assignment. Guard your access points. Recognize the manipulation in disguise and don’t mistake surveillance for support. The third assignment is overload. The enemy wants to drain you by keeping you busy, overcommitted, and scattered. This includes saying yes to things outside your grace, getting caught in unnecessary drama, and pursuing good ideas instead of God’s instruction. We live in a world of nonstop information, social media, texts, videos, podcasts, and endless voices. Even spiritual content can become noise when consumed without discernment. This overexposure leads to confusion, decision fatigue, and spiritual numbness. If you don’t slow down and guard yourself, you’ll move out of intimacy with God. The enemy sends wild goose chases, gossip, and spiritual distractions to keep you exhausted and off-track. Guard your mental space right now. Protect your mind and what you feed on. Ask yourself, “What am I consuming that’s clouding my discernment?” If you’re feeling constantly tired, irritated, or foggy, it’s time to unplug and get still. The enemy knows that if he can slowly rob your peace, you’ll make a mistake. So, how do you avoid being drained by these assignments? Stay grounded in the secret place. Make time with God a daily priority. Wait for clarity before you move, and don’t let pressure push you. Discern God’s voice above the noise and set boundaries without apology. Protect your energy from old soul ties and manipulative conversations. Unplug. Stay focused on your assignment and don’t abandon your post for unnecessary battles. Learn to rest without guilt. Test every connection and make sure it brings peace, not confusion. If something pulls you away from clarity, it’s not from Him. And know you’re not crazy. Your job is to pause, discern, protect your oil, and stay aligned. He will take care of the rest.

GOD IS RECLAIMING & RESTARTING YOUR PROPHETIC TIMELINE!

By Nate Johnston • July 7, 2025
Ok, this is a word for those who have been dealing with years of narcissistic robbery.. One of the most pervasive demonic assignments I’ve ever witnessed in my own life and in the lives of many believers is the Jezebelic assignment. It’s been normalized across the body of Christ and in the world, often labeled as narcissism or seen only as a psychological disorder, rather than a spiritually rooted one. Because of this, people don’t know how to discern it, confront it, or evict it. It has become more than a spiritual stronghold. It’s become a culture. A way of living, responding, and relating that is deeply destructive. I grew up in this environment, and I would say 90% of the body of Christ has, too. Culture enforces it. Our world, in many ways, is systemically narcissistic. It has caused deep bondage and emotional wounds, even manifesting as mental and physical illness over time. Last week, as I was sharing prophetic words, going live, and praying over people, we saw many healings break out, especially last Thursday night on our Vision Live. I’m still in awe of what God did. But as I was praying and asking the Lord how He wanted me to address the Jezebelic element, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw a garden that looked completely dead. Roses that had once bloomed were now black, shriveled, and decayed. The whole garden was poisoned. In the middle of it was a deep pit, and out of that pit grew a short, ugly tree. Its roots spread underneath the entire garden. It reminded me of The Secret Garden, a movie I loved as a child. I knew immediately that the dream was from the Lord. He was showing me how the Jezebelic spirit has poisoned the gardens of many believers. It’s been at the center of our spiritual lives, hidden beneath the surface. We’ve tried to tend the garden around it, but we’ve never dealt with the root. Last week, I spoke about catching the foxes from Song of Songs. We manage our pain around this spirit, but now God is saying: Enough is enough. I’m pulling it out. As I continued to pray, the Lord brought me to the story of Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21. In this passage, Jezebel conspired to steal Naboth’s inheritance so she could give it to Ahab. But Naboth refused to sell. His name in Hebrew means “fruits” or “produce” and is closely tied to the idea of prophetic fruitfulness, legacy, and inheritance. In one translation, it represents “prophecies and words” Naboth’s vineyard is symbolic of the prophetic call, the anointing, the promises, and the inheritance God has placed on your life. But the Jezebel spirit is a thief. It will lie, manipulate, gaslight, and even kill to rob you of that vineyard. Just like in my dream, it seeks to plant toxic roots in the very soil that was meant to bear fruit. It poisons what was meant to be pure. This is exactly what has happened to so many believers. You’ve been fighting invisible warfare against something that’s been spiritual all along. And every time you try to confront it, in churches, in relationships, in ministries, you get gaslit. You’re made to feel like the problem, when in fact, the spirit that’s been tolerated is the real issue. But the Lord is saying now: I am taking the root out. I am exposing it, and I am evicting it. That’s why it’s uncomfortable. That’s why everything feels like it’s coming to the surface. That’s why your mind has been under siege. Because a false foundation is being torn out, so a holy one can be laid. Then I heard the Lord say something that hit me deeply, and I believe it will hit your spirit too: “As I uproot this spirit from your life, you will not only be healed in your mind. You will be made whole in your body, your finances, your marriage, your family, and your destiny. I’m not just healing you, I’m reordering your life from beginning to end. I am restarting your prophetic timeline.” Let me say that again: God is restarting your prophetic timeline. Imagine that dead garden in your life, the one you thought was beyond recovery. Now imagine the root being pulled out, light returning, and life beginning to flourish again. That garden represents your prophetic call, your purpose, your destiny, and the words spoken over you. The things that felt delayed, blocked, or stuck will begin to move. Where there’s been no favor, favor will flow. Where doors were shut, doors will now open. You will reclaim your vineyard. God says, “I am reclaiming you. This is a Jubilee moment in your life. I am demanding repayment of the robbery of the Jezebel spirit. Everything stolen must be returned. Your inheritance, your health, your time, your voice, your clarity, your legacy, it’s all being reclaimed. I am giving you back the vineyard that was stolen.” Now let me pray: In the mighty name of Jesus, I command every Jezebelic assignment, every generational stronghold that has taken root in your life, to be uprooted now. Be broken from your heart, your calling, your destiny, and your mind. Be uprooted in Jesus’ name. I decree Jubilee over you. The Jezebel spirit is being overthrown. The vineyard is being reclaimed. Your prophetic garden is coming alive again. The delay is over. Cycles are breaking, and the play button has been hit. Your prophetic timeline starts again today. And finally, I release this charge to you. This moment will require courage. It will require boundaries. You will be called to confront some relationships, environments, and mentalities that have tolerated the spirit God is removing. It’s time to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, “ and walk in it. No more compromise. No more confusion. No more being stuck and your destiny on hold. Your vineyard is yours again in Jesus' name!
