UNSURE OF YOUR NEXT STEPS? GO BACK & DO THE DREAM!

UNSURE OF YOUR NEXT STEPS? GO BACK & DO THE DREAM!

UNSURE OF YOUR NEXT STEPS? GO BACK & DO THE DREAM!

As we step into this week, I have a word burning in my spirit for many of you, especially for those who feel stuck, uncertain, or directionless.


You may have heard people say, “If you’re unsure of your next step, go back to the last thing you didn’t do.” There’s deep truth in this because revelation isn’t just about waiting for God to speak again, it’s about stewarding what He has already said.


Yes, God sovereignly releases revelation. He deposits ideas, dreams, and visions into our spirit. These can come through worship, reading the Word, a divine knowing, or even unexpected moments of insight. But the flow of revelation in our lives is also tied to our participation with Him.


A lifestyle of revelation isn’t just receiving, it’s responding.


God is looking for those who will take what He gives and do something with it. It’s like the Parable of the Talents, when we steward what He places in our hands, He entrusts us with more.


REVELATION REQUIRES RESPONSE


This is how dreams work.


This is how visions work.


This is how any kind of revelation works.


Years ago, I stepped into a season where I began dreaming with the Lord, dreams that spoke directly to the Body of Christ. At first, I didn’t understand that these dreams required action. When I ignored them, it felt like the well dried up. The revelation stopped flowing. I found myself frustrated and confused asking “Why is this happening? Why does it feel like God is silent?”


Then I went back to the last thing He had spoken. I returned to the dream and asked, “Lord, what do You want me to do with this?” And as I engaged with the revelation, as I treated it as sacred and acted on it, the floodgates of Heaven opened again.


I believe many in the Body of Christ are in this exact place right now. You’re asking God, “What are my next steps?” But here’s what I keep hearing in my spirit:


“DO THE DREAM.”


For many of you, the issue isn’t that revelation has stopped flowing, it’s that the revelation you’ve received doesn’t make sense. You’re getting dreams, insight, and direction, but it seems strange or unclear.


You find yourself asking:


“God, why am I seeing this?”


“Why am I getting this dream?”


“What does this even mean?”


And because it feels unfamiliar, because it carries an element of risk, you hesitate. But revelation is often like that. It requires faith. It requires obedience. And right now, God is calling you to move, even when the details don’t fully make sense.


FOLLOWING THE DREAM – A LIFESTYLE OF FAITH


Let me share something personal...


Before we ever connected with our good friend Lou Engle who has taught us so much about the depths of dreams, Christy and I were already following them. .


We have moved multiple times because of dreams. We have given what seemed like crazy prophetic warnings based on dreams.


And yet, over time, we have seen the fruit of radical obedience again and again.


God led us to Redding years ago because of a dream. God led us to Colorado Springs because of a dream. And most recently, God led us to California because of two dreams.


The first was simple - I was standing on the shore of Pirate’s Cove, throwing out a frisbee. That was my first word from the Lord. The second dream was given to Lou, and in the dream we were standing in California when Lou declared, “It’s time for Acts 2!” And afterward, he called us and said,

“It’s time to move.”


So we moved.


THE TIME FOR HESITATION IS OVER


Stepping out on revelation is not for the faint of heart. It requires faith, courage, and a willingness to look foolish in the eyes of others. But I want to speak to those of you who feel stuck:


Go back to your last dream.


Go back to your last instruction.


Ask the Lord, “how do I do the dream?”


For many, this is the key to unlocking fresh revelation. When you steward what He has already given, He entrusts you with more.


I believe the Lord wants to re-open the revelatory gates in your life.


I believe He wants to stir up the language of Heaven within you again.


If you’ve felt disconnected, if you’ve felt like the well has dried up, then lay before Him and say:


“Lord, I’m sorry for not moving on the last thing You spoke. But I’m ready now. Open the heavens again. Speak again. I will do the dream.”


A JOEL 2 OUTPOURING – DREAM AGAIN


I want to declare Joel 2 over you today.


“Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”


This is the season where the end-time language of dreams and visions is being poured out over an entire generation. It’s not just for the few, it’s for

the many. From the youngest to the oldest, God is awakening a Joel 2 movement of dreamers, seers, and prophetic voices.


If you want to receive this, pray with me:


“Lord, give me the ability to dream. Open my spirit to receive revelation. Teach me how to steward what You give. Show me how to walk it out. I choose to do the dream. In Jesus’ name, amen.”


The hour is urgent. The call is clear. Do the dream.

WHEN THE OLD WINE RUNS OUT..

By Nate Johnston • April 19, 2025
I have a word for those who feel like they have come to the end of themselves. The end of direction. The end of their past blueprints and vision. The end of revelation and insight. The end of an old assignment. Maybe even community.. It’s like the wedding at Cana when the wine ran out. The barrels are empty. You feel empty. “God where from here?” “Jesus bring new wine out of me!” But there’s a silence. Almost a sense of being completely alone and even abandoned. It’s the scary place of being in between what was and what is to come. You know the new wine is coming. You know it because you know that’s what God does. But right now, it doesn’t feel like anything is on the horizon and it feels like everything is falling apart. Warfare has increased. Robbery has increased. And with a lack of vision and clarity and direction you feel like you are just “existing” or floating. WAITING for the next step or instruction. Yes, the old wine has ran out. You can’t drive that car anymore. You can’t wear those shoes anymore. You can’t hold onto that tattered jacket anymore. The old won’t sustain you for another day and you can’t bring it with you into tomorrow. Then comes the discontent. “Is this bitterness? “Lord is my heart sick? Am I in rebellion?” “Or is this you leading me somewhere new?” You are looking at the empty wine pots of your life and just feel strangely “used” Burned out. Flat. Exhausted. Old manna rotting on the ground. Trying to reconcile what you gave your life for that has seemingly only led you to this “nothingness” Yes, you ran out with the wine. You died with the last drops. You had to, so He could now do what you couldn’t do. And so he could lead you into a new chapter you would never step into still carrying the old. It’s Jesus in gethsemane crying tears of blood, like they were the last drops of the old way of life. Old mindsets. Old covenants. Dysfunctions. Pain. Trauma. Addictions. Lack. Rejection. Fear. Torment. Knowing He was going to the cross so that the real new wine could be poured out upon the generations to come and break the bondage of the past. Knowing you right now would need a promise and a signpost of Gods goodness when you were experiencing your own “lost” and unknown season. And this resurrection weekend, I know this is a prophetic reminder for those still in a “death” to the old season. SUNDAY IS COMING! I know the second day is painful and confusing. But resurrection is coming. But not the old you. The weighed down you. The new you. The new wine. The new manna. I know you feel like everything has died but on the third day the tomb was found empty! Yes empty is not the sign of death, but of new life coming!!! So today can I invite you with me to give Jesus our last drops of the old? Let’s give him this moment of “in between” Let’s give him our fears, expectations, worries, and mindsets from our last chapter and ask Him for the new wine to start flowing in our lives. The new wine - the blood of Jesus that SPEAKS a better word. That breaks and annuls bad contracts and soul ties and shuts demonic doors. Yes the blood that overrides all! And I prophesy that you will shift from trying to figure this out in your own strength to seeing the new wine break through for you in Jesus name! This weekend Christy and I are taking communion over every one of you and praying for the blood of Jesus over you and your families! Join us! "and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" Hebrews 12:24

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.
