watch the horizon, here comes the wave of awakening!

I want to share a vision I had a little while ago that I didn’t feel immediately released to share until now. It speaks of five specific events, two that we are already in the middle of, and three events that are to come. I also want to share some prayer strategies for you, so I encourage you to read to the end.

In the vision, I was standing on the shoreline of a great ocean. The waves were calm and relatively still as I stood at the water’s edge with gentle whispers of wind and soft waves lapping on the sand over my feet. In the vision, I heard the Lord say, “Keep watch on the horizon.” My eyes remained fixed on the horizon, which was unchanged for a time, but then, suddenly I began to feel a violent shaking beneath the ground that I was standing on and then the waters began to recede rapidly at my feet. I was shaken but did not lose my footing through this. As the waters receded, it felt like a mighty suction, like a strong vacuum sucking up the waters and sand all around me. Surprised, I looked down and immediately recognized that this was a sign of an incoming tsunami. I heard His voice again, “Stand still. Keep watch on the horizon.” I felt no fear or sense of unease, but rather, I felt excited anticipation. I glanced again at my feet as I couldn’t help but feel that the waters had been drawn back so drastically that there was no residue of moisture left, and I could no longer feel sand, but instead, I felt bedrock beneath where I stood. I then noticed different sand crabs and other bottom feeders began to emerge out of their underground burrows and scurry away in a quick and terrifying movement.

I then heard His voice a third time say, “Stand still. Keep watch on the horizon.” My eyes adjusted again to the horizon, but still, I did not see anything, however, I heard something. A new sound I wasn’t familiar with, a thunderous roar so loud that the sand around me began to shake, but I remained firm on the bedrock, and then I saw it. A tremendous barrel of water was surging over the horizon and pummelling towards the beach. I could see not just one barrel, but many that subsequently followed the first. I then heard His voice a fourth time, “standstill, brace for impact.” I began to brace myself for its arrival, but not with the typical response for an incoming tsunami by either cowering or running away. Instead, I positioned my feet firmly on the bedrock and spread my arms wide. As I dug my feet in deep, I could feel water again, and it began to spring up from the ground underneath me. It gushed up rapidly out of the bedrock like an underground waterfall that was bursting forth wildly. The water then surrounded me as a pool. As the mighty waves neared land, I was met with a sudden rush of wind. It was a ferocious wind, but strangely, it didn’t push me over, but surrounded me and whipped up a whirlpool in the pool of water I was now immersed in. As incredibly strong as it was, it was a joyful feeling, I felt like a child on a ride. Mere moments following the wind, the tsunami of water hit, but the pool of water that I was standing in was like a shield all around me and as though it were alive, it surrounded me and carried me to the top of the wave, causing me to stand and ride atop the powerful breaker of water as it surged inland. As it tumbled towards the land, I watched as it engulfed mountains effortlessly and swallowed them completely. I looked down and noticed countless thousands had been swept up in these waves. They were not drowning but were being carried upon the great and mighty waters.

I want to first say, that while tsunamis speak of destruction, I felt in this vision that there was no sense of ‘incoming doom’ or ‘destruction’ towards the people of the earth, but rather, I felt the destruction was implied against the enemy, which I will share about. I broke down this vision and studied verses that applied to it and found that there are five events the Lord showed me, with five strategies of direction that will see us through the coming weeks, months and even years (I say this with hopeful expectation and not in-coming doom.)

1. The Shaking and the Rock.

I believe the shaking implies to the time we are currently in. This virus- is not from the Lord. The shaking, however, I believe is. He is using this time to shake off idols and things we once put our trust in, every last one of us. Anything that can be shaken has been shaken, but He is faithful to protect us through it. In the vision, it was very clear that I did not lose my footing. So, take heart, this shaking is necessary. Though things around you may be shaken, as you remain standing on the ROCK, you will not lose your footing. Though the sand around you is being sifted, you will find yourself standing on the unshakeable rock of our faithful Lord, Jesus. The Lord is using this to remove the chaff and He is causing His remnant to arise amidst it all. This is a part of the shaking that will cause the fear of the Lord to be magnified, in a holy way, in this hour. I am not speaking of ‘fear of heart’ but the ‘awe and wonder’ of the Lord is being restored in this unprecedented moment in history.

Amos 9:9

“For behold, I am commanding, and I shall shake and sift the house of Israel among all Nations (and cause it to tremble) Like grain is shaken in a sieve (removing the chaff), But not a kernel (of the faithful remnant) shall fall to the ground and be lost (from My sight).

Divine Strategy for this moment of shaking:

Keep your feet planted on Jesus, the Rock. Just as I felt the bedrock beneath my feet. Be encouraged, you are the faithful remnant, and the Lord will not allow you to be lost from His sight or fall to the ground. Keep in His Word daily.

2. The Receding of waters and the Watchman.

I believe we are also standing in this current moment of watching the waters recede. There is great exposure taking place of underground plans. Plans that have been hidden in darkness. Where there was a mighty suction that drew back all of the waters that once covered ‘the bottom dwellers’, I believe we are going to see an ‘exposure’ of demonic agendas revealed for all the world to see. These demonic agendas will have no place to hide but will be forced to run away in swift terror. I believe this is speaking of evil political plans against the President of the U.S, those involved in hidden agendas of sex trafficking, also, hidden agendas against the unborn, even agendas against the church. In this sense, I knew the crab was represented in a negative way, and prophetically speaking, crabs can represent strongholds, unclean things, and hidden cancers.

Psalm 48:5

They saw it, then they were amazed; they were stricken with terror, they fled in alarm.

Divine strategy for the receding:

When I saw the waters recede, I heard the Lord tell me to ‘Stand still, Keep watch on the horizon.’ I believe this is speaking specifically to the watchman at this hour. Those that God has positioned as watchmen and guardians over the lands. The Lord is speaking to you to declare the end from the beginning. Command the bottom-dwellers to be exposed in the mighty Name of Jesus. Speak to every unclean thing that its time of hiding is over. Command those unclean strongholds to be unseated, unhoused, forced into the light and exposed in the light of the SON, in Jesus’ mighty name. Stand still and see the deliverance of the Lord.

3. The sound and the wind – A new sound of worship

I first heard an unusual sound that I wasn’t familiar with. I believe this is speaking of a new sound of worship that is going to precede the mighty outpouring. This worship is beginning to break forth, even now, all across the earth. I was led to study once again, the story of Pentecost, and found that a sound preceded the fire of the Holy Spirit. In the vision, as I positioned my feet steadily on the rock and spread my arms wide, as though in surrender, I believe this is a picture of the Lord releasing a new sound through worship in this hour. As the Body of Christ positions themselves firmly on the rock, and surrenders their all to Him – a new sound is going to break forth that will be heard and felt all across the earth, like a sonic boom that breaks the sound barriers. It will usher in the wind of His Holy Spirit that will cause the waves of revival to hit the earth, one after the other.

Divine strategy for this new sound:

To every son and daughter: this is a moment of setting yourself in a position to gaze upon the face of the Beloved. I also feel this is a directive strategy to the worshipers and the psalmists in this hour. Before the sound came, I heard Him say, “Stand still and keep watch.” I believe He is directing you to ‘keep watch and listen for this new sound, unheard of before on the earth, but a sound heard only in heaven up until this point – it is going to burst forth out of you at this moment. Pay attention to the lyrics and melodies that you will begin to hear, and prepare to release these songs and sounds quickly. They are the sounds that will usher in the mighty outpouring.

4. The well of water – Ancient wells.

I keep hearing these words in my spirit from Numbers 21:17, “here the Israelites sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Yes, sing its praises!” The song from Jesus Culture, “Alive in the river” also comes to mind. I feel as though there are Ancient wells of refreshing that the Lord is bursting forth through His people in this hour of awakening. I also feel that these ‘ancient wells’ carry strategies and divine revelation for this hour in which we live. As you keep yourself firmly positioned on the rock, the well itself, the waters of the Holy Spirit, will burst forth up and out of you and will be to you as a wall and garrison around you. His rivers of living water are going to carry you and cause you to ride upon the waves of awakening that are on the horizons of the earth and are about to burst through into our natural realm. You will ride on these waves with authority, strategy, and direction. His words, ‘brace for impact’ in this moment of the vision stood out to me. The definition for the word brace can mean; make (a structure) stronger or firmer – our worship is strengthening us as a whole and making us stronger and prepared for the incoming waves.

Divine strategy for the ancient wells:

‘Stand still and brace for impact.’ This is the direction of firmly planting yourself on the Word that the Lord has spoken over this moment, bring to rehearsal that which He has spoken and promised you. Your surrender and worship through the shaking (the arms spread wide), will cause these wells of ancient living water to spring forth within, through and around you. The Lord is positioning you, protecting you and preparing you for amazing days ahead.

5. The Tsunami waves and the leveling of mountains

As I rode atop the waves and watched as the mountains beneath me were effortlessly flattened and swallowed, I believe this speaks of a new and higher realm of authority that is coming to the Body of Christ. Strongholds that we have spent years praying into to break, will be flattened in a moment in this coming hour. You will ride high atop the waves of awakening and revival and you do not need to fear the incoming waves. It is going to be a wild ride of excitement, so stand still, watch the horizon and brace for what is about to come. The countless numbers of people that I saw, I believe, represent the prodigal that will return to the Father in this hour's awakening. They will be swept up in this mighty movement and will be carried upon the rivers of His living water. God is moving mightily, the ground is ready and prepared, the harvest is ripe.

“In fact, I have made of you a new, sharp threshing implement with sharp edges; You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and high wind will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.”

Isaiah 41:15-16

Divine strategies for the incoming waves:

It will be an effortless motion as you are swiftly pulled up on top of the waves, but it will require surrender. Continue standing guard, continue standing on the Word, continue worshipping and watch as the Lord springs up ancient wells within you, as He exposes wickedness to run in fear, and causes a mighty outpouring of His Spirit, cleansing and refreshing to pour out across the tired and weary earth. Begin calling in the waves, begin calling in the lost in your family who will be swept up in this wave (not drowned by it, but carried upon it.) Keep speaking to the mountains of impossibility - they are about to be flattened before you. The waymaker is on the move. Position yourself in readiness.

LOOK TO THE HORIZON - HERE HE COMES! 🌬🌊

A KINGDOM HUB IS RISING IN ORANGE COUNTY!

By Nate Johnston • May 13, 2025

What if Orange County became a sending ground for revival? That's what we believe God is building and we want to invite you into it. We're establishing an apostolic hub in Orange County. Not a church service. Not a ministry brand. But a KINGDOM GREENHOUSE designed to train, heal, equip, and send. Think of it like an air traffic control tower: helping people hear clearly from God, align with their assignments, and land on the right runways, churches, cities, ministries, nations. This is for the leaders, intercessors, creatives, and reformers who are asking, “Where do I fit in this new move of God?” We're building on Ephesians 4:11–13 , apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers working together to equip the saints for ministry and maturity. What's Next? We're preparing to launch the foundation of this hub by: • Rallying the hungry • Equipping the Church • Calling out reformers • And inviting pioneers to build with us But we can't do this alone… WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO THINGS AS WE TAKE THIS BOLD STEP: 1. Prayer – for protection, provision, and clarity. 2. Financial Partnership – one-time or monthly partnerships, every seed helps us build. Would you pray about joining us either in intercession, generosity, or both? Click below to read more and give! Thank you for linking arms with us as we contend for a new wineskin in this hour. With hearts burning, Nate + Christy

A MESSAGE TO THE ROGUE BUILDERS

By Nate Johnston • May 13, 2025

I’ve had this dream more times than I can count where I’m holding a hammer and I hear the Lord say “What will you do with what I’ve given you?” It echoes the parable of the talents. I know the guilt of burying what God gave me out of fear, out of a desire not to rock the boat. But for me right now? I can’t bury it anymore. And I know I’m not alone. I see others - seed carriers with pockets full of heaven’s plans, who can feel the fire of God stirring them to finally come out of hiding and build what He gave them long ago. But it’s been a journey to get here right? Because the enemy saw what you carried long before you even knew it so he tried to discredit you, silence you, shame you and wound you. You were called heretic, rebel, false prophet, and disruptor of the peace. And maybe that last one is true. But here’s the burning message on my heart to you rogue builders... To the ones who’ve been off the grid, outside the system, who have felt misplaced and displaced - you’re not lost, you’ve been on assignment. You have been pregnant waiting for the moment. And l believe for many that moment has finally come but it’s a strange and uncomfortable tension. I feel this tension even in myself. That feeling of not wanting to step on toes, of not wanting to rock the boat. But let’s be honest, you were never meant to go with the flow. God led you into the wilderness because you’re not called to walk the road everyone else walks. The anointing on your life is not activated in comfort. It activates in disruption. You need to swing that hammer to see your calling come to life. But you have been hesitant because of what you have been through. You are called to disturb what is stagnant, to confront systems that stifle, and to release what heaven is building. That’s where your oil flows. Not in compromise, not in trying to appease the structures you were never meant to serve or come under. This doesn’t give you permission to be arrogant or critical. You’re not building against anyone. You’re building for the King. Like David dancing before the ark, undignified, misunderstood, but in a state of deep worship, you carry this call in that same way. Its worship. And yes, some people will misunderstand your motives. That’s the cost of carrying something holy and different. But it’s no longer a time to hesitate or wait. It’s a “strike while the iron is hot” moment. And even as I am writing this I am seeing a scene from Lord of the Rings where the rogue king Aragorn has the sword of his ancestors restored that was broken in pieces from battle. Maybe that represents you and what you have been through or your mission. You have felt the hammer on the inside of you and you have walked through the fire but not God is restoring you to your post in a pivotal hour of history. You see, we are shifting from an institutional model to a harvest age. The Lord is asking, “Who will build it? ” It’s 2 Kings 6 all over again where the sons of prophets realized, “This place is too small.” And they began to build but in the middle of construction, the axe head fell in the Jordan. One of the building prophets yelled out “Oh no, that axe head was borrowed! Then Elisha threw in a stick, and the iron floated to the surface. And there’s a prophetic message in this passage for us right now. The axehead represents the apostolic office and regional authority. The Church has lost its edge, relying on old models, and borrowed tools. There is a rising cry to recover true supernatural authority and power and you are called to bring it back. The Jordan represents massive change and baptism into a new era. Old systems, though not evil, are insufficient for the harvest ahead. The time for murky waters and mixture is over. The building of the bigger house represents movement in expansion but not in the way we expect. We have to build for the harvest but this means looking beyond a building and building into homes, cities, nations. It’s building beyond the current blueprint and limited infrastructure that unleashes the church into full occupation as the ecclesia. We are in a moment where it’s uncomfortable because we are leaving maintenance behind and embracing mission. This isn’t rebellion, it’s return. It’s not pride, it’s prophetic alignment with the original vision. We’re stepping back into the apostolic mission of Acts, where apostles and prophets set the foundation, and the whole body is activated to move, grow, and expand. So let me keep stirring you for a moment. Think of Nehemiah overcome by grief for the ruins, but driven by the call to rebuild. What if he had listened to Sanballat and Tobiah? What if he laid down his hammer out of fear of man? We’re at the same crossroads. This is not us vs. them, it’s us FOR them. We are leaving behind a shepherd-only model and stepping into a fivefold framework. This is where cities are won, regions are reclaimed, and the local church actually thrives because apostolic centers rise and the saints are sent. And this is what I keep seeing in the Spirit, wildfires igniting across a map. Not chaos but commissioning. Not destruction but awakening. Apostolic hubs of true power, Kingdom authority, cultural shift, deep belonging, and the rise of the firebrands. In the next five years, God is recommissioning the decommissioned rogue ones, the factionless, the wanderers and calling them to pick up their hammer and build. To set fire to the beacons. To call in the hungry. To prepare places for the harvest. It’s like Joseph who saw in a dream what was coming and PREPARED for it by building goshen. What if this was a similar moment? What if this alarm we feel is the Lord saying “PREPARE, BUILD, PIVOT!” Not out of fear but out of a strategic zeal to get the church in order, ready for the return of Jesus and our most glorious days seeing the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit? Yes we need to build! The reason many feel unrest is because we have a LONGING in us for what the church will be and what she is becoming but we haven’t seen it modelled yet! Until you step into your shoes and swing your hammer. Because we need the messy hospitals where the lost and broken come. We need the places where the glory comes and there is no ceiling on it. And in order for that to happen, we need our ducks out of a row for a season. We need our systems ruined so we need HIM again! But rogue builders, you may be misunderstood. What you’re building may look different, offend traditions, and challenge norms but it’s not yours - it’s Gods. You are just the carrier. So, today I believe He wanted me to write this to you as a way to shake off the dust and intimidation...He is calling you to dream with Him again. It’s time to step into the mantle and office. It’s time to stop hiding, running, and waiting for the conditions to be perfect. Oh and it’s time to stop apologizing. Pick. Up. Your. Hammer. There I said it. Yes, the hammer breaks, but it also builds. It restores, it heals, it forges foundations. That’s your call. That’s your assignment. That’s your mission. You were never rogue, you were set apart. So no more casting your pearls to be trampled. No more forfeiting your mandate. Do you keep reaching the moment of birthing and handing your baby to someone else? Do you silence your vision for fear of being seen as “too much”? Are you shrinking back because what you carry doesn’t look like the norm? You are carrying something sacred. And the enemy has been trying to convince you that it’s a pipe dream. That you’re rogue, uncovered, and a heretic? Because the Father says that you are highly favored, and even now you are breaking hard ground. So stay focused. Keep plowing by faith and don’t be bullied. This is the moment where OBEDIENCE meets DISCERNMENT meets BOLDNESS and PUSHHHH. It’s time to bring it forth In Jesus’ name. “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem… And they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ So they strengthened their hands for the good work.” — Nehemiah 2:17-18 “Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.” — Ephesians 2:20 “Alas, my master! It was borrowed.” Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” … Then he made the iron float. And he said, “Take it up.” So he reached out his hand and took it.” — 2 Kings 6:5-7

A MESSAGE TO THE ROGUE BUILDERS

By Nate Johnston • May 13, 2025

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR HAIR WAS CUT

By Nate Johnston • May 12, 2025

Ministry betrayal hurts. Church fatigue is real.. I was praying recently when I kept seeing the image of Samson with his head shaved. I know this often represents those who in a previous season who felt like they lost their strength, but what I felt so strongly in my spirit is that this went even deeper - this was about church and ministry fatigue. For those who have been involved in church life or serving in some way, the enemy used what was closest to you to take you out. The things you poured your heart into, the things you were deeply invested in became the very tools used to wound you and wear you down. This is especially true for those who have experienced spiritual abuse. I know this pain is incredibly painful and can feel difficult to come back from. But I also feel this - the enemy has come hard after those whom God wants to use powerfully in this next season. Because if the enemy can disillusion you, if he can cause you to associate ministry and kingdom work with burnout and betrayal, then he can keep you sidelined. He’ll make you hesitant to ever step into that space again and if that happens, the call of God on your life remains unfulfilled. The same goes for those battling ministry fatigue. I know many people right now who feel deep anxiety at even the thought of ministry. The memories of being pulled in every direction, emotionally drained, abused, and left shipwrecked have left a bitter taste. It’s not just that people came against you, they betrayed you, tore you down, and then disappeared when everything fell apart. Or maybe things didn’t turn out how you envisioned, and you were left disillusioned. Some of you have been walking like Samson with your hair cut for so long that you don’t remember what it’s like to move in power, authority, confidence, and anointing anymore. You woke up like Samson, to find your hair gone and your strength vanished. In a moment, he went from powerful and fearless to weakened and humiliated, like a lion whose mane had been shorn. It’s not just strength that leaves it’s the shame and regret that follow close behind. And that’s how you have felt.. But I feel led to pray that life would come back into your bones this week. That a fresh wind would stir in your spirit. For many, revelation has dried up. Vision is gone. Passion gone. Life feels flat because you gave everything, and it cost you deeply in your family, your peace, your health, your marriage, your children. I get it. It’s been deeply painful. But hear me out - there is another chapter beyond this and there is a fresh wind coming! So this week, I want to start by praying for you. For those who’ve come out of a season of ministry burnout, spiritual abuse, or deep disappointment. For those walking in shame, questioning everything: “God, did I not hear You right?” “Did I trust the wrong people?” “Why am I now depleted in health, finances, and confidence?” I believe the Lord wants me to prophesy over you - GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! You may have heard this before, but I want prophesy it again until something breaks in the spirit. GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! Sit and receive that from the Lord. Let his healing balm penetrate your heart right now. I also pray for the muzzle to come off, for fear and anxiety to be removed. For witchcraft and chatter to stop swirling, for confusion to be lifted and for STRENGTH to return in Jesus name. It’s time to step back into the fullness of your calling and RECOVER ALL! I know what it’s like to hide under the covers after ministry hurt. I know what it’s like to feel disillusioned with the church. But just because you went through that season doesn’t mean God can’t use you again and it doesn’t mean he can’t turn it around. So as we begin this week, we are also praying for those who’ve received bad reports, for those who’ve lost hope, for those who are sick in their bodies or tormented in their minds, and for those facing impossible circumstances. Jesus is still the answer. But today, in Jesus’ name, I say it again - GET UP AND WALK! Leave your sickbed behind. Receive your fresh wind. Receive your fresh anointing. And I prophesy - Everything that was stolen or cut off will grow back, in Jesus’ name!

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025

I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord. They hadn’t seen the fruition of what they sowed. But I sensed the Lord saying: You haven’t seen the next chapter yet. You haven’t seen what I’m doing next. And I truly believe this is a massive prophetic indicator for this season. Many have even been afraid to step into new assignments from the Lord because it feels like, God, how can I step into something new when I haven’t even seen the fruit of the last season? But the Lord is saying: Stop measuring a season by its fruit. As a pioneer and forerunner, sometimes you don’t see the fruit until later chapters. Your faithfulness to say yes, to do what He told you to do, that was enough. But now, you’ve stepped into a new chapter. You’ve got to release the old season. Surrender it to the Lord so you can step into what He’s pouring out now. Grab it with both hands. I believe this vision is also a powerful sign for this moment in history. There’s shaking all around us, and many are afraid of it. But don’t fear the shaking because it’s revealing the fruit. Then I went into a second vision. I saw large storehouses almost like warehouses lining both sides of a freeway. They were being filled, overflowing. I knew I was seeing the fruit, the fulfillment, the fruition of years of prayer, obedience, and contending. I could see the expressions on people’s faces “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would see this day come.” But it has come. And I believe this is what the Lord is declaring: You are going to see the fruit of it. It reminded me of Zerubbabel - the one God gave the signet ring (Haggai 2:23), the one who led the people out of exile and laid the foundation of the temple and also lived to see the capstone placed (Zechariah 4:9). He didn’t just begin the work. He saw it finished. As pioneers, we often feel like we labor and others walk into the fruit. But I believe the Lord is saying: In this season, you’re going to see it. You will see what you gave your yes to. Now let me speak into the shaking for a moment because I felt it was significant that I saw the tree being shaken violently. The tree was being shaken so the fruit could come. Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to fear the shaking when you know that the glory comes with it. And right now, many people are in fear in this shaking because their focus is on the wrong thing. The shaking isn’t here to ruin you, but to dismantle demonic principalities and systems that have oppressed you for a long time. The shaking is here to shake the earth back into order and alignment with the Kingdom and take back ground. The shaking is here to ready the church for harvest. It’s not punishment for us, it’s actually the sign that FRUIT IS INCOMING! And the shaking is right now producing what you’ve been praying for. The shaking is bringing you into breakthrough because you’ve already been through the breaking. This shift that’s happening right now is not a shift into doom and gloom. It’s a shift into bloom and increase. It’s a shift that’s taking you into the ripening, personally and corporately, because you’ve already been through the pruning. You’ve been through the fire, through the adversity, through the dark night of the soul where you wanted to give up, and where everything was stacked against you. So now it’s time for the glory to be revealed because you held on to Jesus through the battle. And God’s about to reveal His faithfulness because you were faithful. He’s about to reveal His goodness in your life because you chose to believe He was good, even when others walked away. You hit your knees when others turned back to Egypt. So today pioneers, look through the right lens. Get back your faith eyes. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the fear. And choose to see not through the eyes of foreboding, fear, delay, and hope deferred but through the eyes of hope again. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 FRUIT IS COMING!
