We are in a divine Governmental Shift

We are in a divine Governmental Shift

It is the time of the Ekklesia

Two weeks ago, the Holy Spirit woke me up with the overwhelming sense that a shift was taking place in the spirit. In my heart, I heard, “A governmental handover is taking place within the body of Christ.” Had it not been for the journey I have walked this last year, I probably would not have understood the weightiness behind this statement. However, every single day for the past twelve months, the Holy Spirit has highlighted three sequences of specific numbers to me. I had not previously seen these sequences so frequently before but you know it’s no longer a coincidence when these numbers appear to you in the most bizarre ways possible. It started at the beginning of the Hebrew year of 5778 and it increased as we moved into 2018. I began seeing #144 everywhere, from suddenly being ‘awoken’ at 1:44am almost nightly, receiving bills with the sum total of $144, to receiving packages from addresses with the number #144. Whatever way it happened, the Holy Spirit made sure I would see it daily, and naturally, I began seeking Him as to why.

Then, for the past six months and just as frequently as I was seeing #144, I began tosee #1212 and #414. I have held back releasing this revelation until I felt Himsay ‘NOW’ and I believe that time is ‘NOW.’ I can promise you this; I did notintend to align this with the midterm elections in the U.S… the timing ofeverything has been all in His hands. In this yearlong search, I began to pullapart scripture. Every scripture I could find that was associated with #144,#1212 and #414 and I have thoroughly studied each verse meticulously, from thefront of the bible to the back. Only in the last few weeks did it all finally‘click’ together when I heard that statement in the early hours of the morningand the profound message became clear. I want to take you on a journey throughscripture (though I will only share some of the strategic verses for the sakeof space) for what God is saying to us in this very strategic hour in history.

APOSTOLIC GOVERNMENT BRINGS UNITY

The number 12 is significant to God. There are 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles, 12months in a year, 12 gates, 12 pearls, 12 foundations, 12 fruits, 12 wells at Elim… the list goes on. Interestingly, 12 multiplied by 12 equals 144. Twelve speaks of the perfect governmental rule, divine organization and apostolic fullness.144 is the increased multiplication of divine governmental rule. Over the past generations, the body of Christ has in many ways lived in oppression under the god of this world’s governmental rule… I certainly believe portions of the Ekklesia have been moving in divine apostolic government, and I don’t intend to imply that we should not be serving and honouring our Nation’s governments, but rather, I am referring to the demonic rulings of the enemy that has kept the church at large in silent oppression. The wider body of Christ has been silent on major issues, afraid to take her rightful reign as the Bride of Christ, which has therefore advanced the oppression of the enemy as She has been enslaved to both the politically correct and religious spirits. The Father is gathering His children, His bride, His ekklesia in this very moment. He is assembling us together as ONE, not in factions so that we would hold the mantle of Apostolic Government in all of its fullness. Notice in this verse below, that while there were multiple ‘tribes’, they were numbered together as one larger body representing their Father’s household. The divine governmental rule will establish unity within the body of Christ.

These were the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with theleaders of Israel, twelve men, each representing his fathers’ household.

Numbers 1:44

THE EKKLESIA IS RISING

All throughout the Old Testament, we witness how the Israelites were opposed by various enemies; Pharaoh, the Philistines and the Chaldeans to name a few. Each and every enemy was overtaken as the people of God resisted the oppression, rose up in defiance and took their rightful place of authority together. Whenever they sought the word of the Lord and acted in response they always witnessed a mighty turnaround miracle. In recent months, it is not difficult to notice that opposition and persecution against the body of Christ have severely increased. However, the enemy always overplays his hand and it is easy to recognize that he is running in fear of the Ekklesia rising into their full apostolic governmental rule. However now is not the time to rest easy and back down for as we continue to stand in our authority, it will be a sign and a wonder to the Nations, revealing Jesus through His gloriously reigning bride.

His father and mother did not know that it was of the Lord, and that He was seeking an occasion [to take action] against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

Judges 14:4

I will harden (make stubborn, defiant) Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will be glorified and honoured through Pharaoh and all his army, and shall know [without any doubt] and acknowledge that I am the Lord.”And they did so.
Exodus 14:4

TAKING BACK THE HIGH PLACES

Of the many verses that stood out to me, this verse caught my attention. 2 Kings 14:4says ‘However, the high places were not removed; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.’ High places in the scripture are in reference to worship or idols. Ezekiel 14:4 also speaks of removing the idols of the heart. An idol can be anything in our lives that take the place of adoration and affection for the Father. It could be an obvious one like wealth, position, fear of money, the approval of man, influence and success, even doing the work of ministry has the ability to consume a heart more than Him. If anything consumes your heart in the place of the Father, now is the time it needs to be surrendered and removed. I don’t want to communicate this in a fearful or judgmental way, but rather, an encouragement that if something is taking His place in your life, surrender it because He wants to consume your heart entirely. He wants to take back the high places of the earth through you and I as fully yielded vessels.

This next verse is part of an interesting story whereby Jonathan, the son of Saul, pursues an entire garrison of Philistines. Alongside his armour bearer, the two courageously ambush the army of soldiers and send them running in terror inevery direction. 1 Samuel 14:4 tells of the moment at which Jonathon snuck upon them, it says; Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over toget to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and arocky crag on the other side; one [crag] was named Bozez, and the other, Seneh.

Picture two protruding rock formations, one on either side of Jonathon as he and his armour bearer passed through them to ambush their enemy. On one side of him, the rocky crag named Bozez means mud or bog, and the one on the other side, Seneh, means ‘Thorn Bush’ or ‘High.’ Jonathan needed to pass through the mud, thethorn bush and the high place in order to overtake the enemy. A birthing comes through pain, and this story becomes a picture of the modern-day church that has been passing through the mud of division, the thorns of persecution and the surrendering of our own high places, and there, we come out on the other side backed by our Armorbearer, Jesus to take down the garrisons before us. It’stime to give Him our high places and take back the high places of the earththat He may be glorified above all other names.

In that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from the east to the west by a very large valley, and half of the mountain will move toward the north and half of it toward the south. 

Zechariah 14:4

WORSHIP IS OUR INSTRUMENT OF WAR

I cannot emphasize enough just how powerful our worship to the King is in this moment of time. Not only does it remove the high places in our own lives so that He may rule and reign alone, but it removes the high places of the earth. As we worship in unity, it creates a vacuum of suction whereby He responds inmagnitude, power and justice. The story that surrounds the following verse is an intriguing one that I don’t have the space to cover, but I will mention that the picture of this woman wisely bowing her face before the King brought forththe truth to be spoken and an invitation into reconciliation.

When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she bowed with her face to the ground and lay herself down, and said, “Help, O king.”

2 Samuel 14:4

Tekoa means Trumpet, an instrument that unites people and it can also mean ‘pitchinga tent.’ Our worship is sent out like a trumpet of war that actually brings forth unity, truth and an invitation of reconciliation from the hearts of the lost to Jesus. Our dependence upon His help is what moves the hand and heart of God to respond to His people and ‘Pitch His tent’ of glory within us and amongst us. Another awe-inspiring example of worship is Psalm 144. It is the Psalm that David wrote right before he faced Goliath. Worship enables us to slay the Goliaths of our own day. It grounds us on the strength of who He is and reinforces ‘not by might, not by power, but my Spirit.’ (Zechariah 4:6).

Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war And my fingers for battle;

Psalm 144:1

SEND FORTH THE RAIN

The earth has been groaning and the people within it have been in spiritual and even natural drought… “The ground is cracked because there has been no rain on the land; The farmers are distressed, And they have covered their heads [inshame]. Jeremiah 14:4

I hearthe Spirit of God responding to their cries and saying to you and I, “CALLFORTH THE RAIN!” It is the time of the LATTER RAIN HARVEST, and the sons anddaughters are awakening from their slumber, arising into their governmentalKingdom authority.

They are responding to the enemy; ‘that you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased [his insolence], And how the fury has ceased! 

Isaiah 14:4

I can hear the rain on the horizon, it is coming in a thunderous force… get your umbrellas ready ;)

WE ARE BIRTHING A NEW SOUND

The new sound of GLORY is birthing forth within the Bride in this very hour. It is anamplifying and viral sound that will catch and spread fast from one to another.Just as Elizabeth’s baby leapt in her womb at the sound of Mary, the one whocarried Jesus in her womb, so too will His Spirit LEAP from the ones who carryHim and cause others to become aware of what they carry.

‘For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.’ 

Luke 1:44

The Spirit of God is causing wombs to LEAP in this very moment, SONGS will CARRY far and wide, the Apostolic rule of His government is overtaking and possessing what is RIGHTFULLY HIS in a rapid and fast MOVEMENT of His Spirit. The awakening breath of God is STIRRING up the baby within your womb, it is awakening those who have been asleep. You are at the threshold of delivery, though all may look dark to you right now, you are about to birth NEW and UNEXPECTED moves of His Spirit through your life. New ministries and movements will come forth from this time of birthing and I see righteous justice prevailing over long-withstanding injustices like abortion and sex trafficking.

This is a unique sound from heaven that is trumpeting forth into the earth, through you and I. Those who are undefiled by the idols of this world, those who have joined themselves to the Lamb are releasing a new song. Though I don’t fully have the revelation of the 144,000 in the scripture below (so please don’t send me corrective emails ha), I do believe that it points to the Bride of Jesus operating in the fullness of divine government.

No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed free from the earth. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins, and they join themselves to the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed, purchased from humanity and brought forth as the first-fruits for God and the Lamb. 

Revelation 14:4

THE SHIFT IS UPON US

As with every prophetic word, this is an invitation. I believe there is a divine SHIFT taking place in the spirit that is making way for us as His bride to step into the mantle of Apostolic Government completely and fully, but it does remain a choice. 
I wanted to lastly highlight the number #414 that I have also been seeing, and it points us to Esther 4:14:

‘For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?’

This is a time for the Bride of Christ to take her place, to stand in the fullness of her God-given authority, to give Jesus everything He paid for with our lives. God has brought you to the Kingdom for this very moment, this very hour, but you need to release your sound, you need to use your voice. Take action, take the leap of faith, pray with perseverance, unite with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and let us together watch as the handover of Kingdom government is given into our hands to rule and reign with … so that the world might see Him in us.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 

Romans 12:12

A WORD FOR MY EAGLES - WE ARE IN THE TURNING OF THE TIDE

By Nate Johnston • 16 Apr, 2024
(The Lord gave me this word a week before we had our first gathering in Colorado Springs on March 31st 2024) I heard the lord say, “The eagles have been looking for a place to gather and have found none." Alone in their nests. Hidden in crooks and caves they have felt restless and looking for their people. A company who aren’t about building the next empire or setting the next exclusive table of elite celebrity Christians, but a people with no agenda but Jesus. But they have been nomads and vagabonds, looking at their wings molting and feeling like their greatest days were behind them. But the lord says “My eagles, now is the time to gather! For your Lone Ranger days are over. Your days of longing for the new wine and not seeing it are over” In exchange for your hunger and desperation I am giving you what you have been longing for. I am now gathering my eagles in their nests across the globe and they will experience my latter glory says the Lord. For I have marked you as my new breed. A set apart people created for this kairos moment. To lead the charge at the turning of the the tide. Many have said “What is the point? Our nation and nations have decided their fate!” And the lord would say “Josiah generation rise up. Esther generation rise up!” For I am raising up new kings and deposing bad stewards!” (Daniel 2:21-22) You are the kings I am raising up for this hour. My remnant who I have reserved who have not bowed their knee to Baal. You are here at the turning of a tide because I have anointed you to lead the church into the new You have said “We are done with the old manna!” We are done with compromise and mixture and culture telling us what we can and can’t do and can and cannot say. "We are the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the lord!” You are the ones that won’t bow, won’t relent, and wont hide in caves anymore. You thought your flame had burned out after years of going through valley after valley and battle after battle and dark night after dark night but you have only grown in the dark. You have only increased. In the dirt you died and now the Lord says “In this moment I am now anointing you fresh for this hour of mighty exploits!” “I am mantling you with the double portion of my spirit to rise up as my pure mouthpieces, to confront the compromise and mixture in the current house, and build the new.” You will dethrone kings and evict principalities. You will tear down ideologies and lies cast like a veil of blindness over the nations. And you will see my righteousness exalted over this nation and you will establish my kingdom. So stop running and stop hiding. You are here because you can’t do the old thing anymore. “In fact, this is a moment that you must lay down the last remnants of the old season. It’s time to be emptied so I can fill you, mantle you, and robe you for the days to come” My eagles now is your time. For even now I am breaking the assignments of frustration and chaos that have been sent against you and your family. Fires that have erupted over the years to keep you grounded in a season I have called you to fly, to soar and hear what I am saying. This is a new day and the turning of the tide. “Now!” The Lord says; “Get ready for the new epoch - a season of the diminishing of man’s systems and empires and the era of the remnant. It is now upon you!” We are in the hour of the convocation of eagles and the gathering of those who seek only my face and nothing added. Then I heard the lord say “You have only been in the birth pangs up until now but get ready because the birthing is coming” It is the birthing of my pure and spotless bride that will emerge and set things right. “So my eagles, it’s time to go from flying solo to gathering.” “Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and where my people are in unity together as one voice there is an anointing that looses chains of wickedness and bandage.” For just as there was a purpose to the prophets in Elijah’s day being hidden, there has been a purpose to your season of hiddenness. But that hour is over.” “I am calling you forth and unravelling you from the bonds of the past battles.” “I am breaking off the deeply embedded weariness and trauma that has been sitting like a poison in your soul.” “Like a demonic fatigue it has rested on you and stolen your strength and vision, but NOW you shall rise up on eagles wings again and walk and not faint!” “For how can you fly without strength? And know where to fly without my direction?” “This is why I have responded to your cries and have answered.” This is the turning of the tide that has been against you. This is where I rebuild you. Restore you. Rejuvenate you. Resurrect you. “And set you loose for your next season of flight” Yes the tide has turned. Don’t believe the reports. The tide has turned. “Let it be remembered that at this crossover I strategically had you emerge and soar that the voice of my church would once more crash the chatter of the airwaves and lead my church forward.” Let it be remembered that at the turning of the tide I raised up a remnant of a different dna and cloth that would be the new standard of the new day I am leading them into. And I am right now shaking up the lone nests of the burned out and isolated. Now it’s time to find the eagles and set the table for the convocation. “Yes, once there was only few but now you are many. Once on the fringe now you are coming back to the center again." There has been a great exodus from man made places of bondage but now you have been assigned to be a safe place for those seeking refuge and needing to be rebuilt. “For I am bringing my church back to the book of acts once again and clearing her heart of the idols of her own making.” “So break out of the restraints that have held you, the fears that have shut you down, and the defeat that has choked you, and take fight for the greatest chapter of your life and odyssey with me!” Says the Lord."

IGNORE THE DRAMA & BUILD/BIRTH

By Nate Johnston • 09 Apr, 2024
I hear the Lord saying “Come up higher this week out of the swirl and drama being stirred up, for it is a distraction from what is coming” As He says this I see many whirlwinds swirling in the spirit then I hear; “The propaganda of the enemy has brought confusion and fear over the times but this week I am clearing the air!” “For I am exposing the enemies agenda to bring shipwreck to my people by bombarding them over and over with defeat and hopelessness” “This week the mental warfare against them must come to an end!” “And they will rise up higher and see clearly again” “And they will see what is true and what is false, what is swirl and what is peace, and what is my heart and what is the enemies games” “And I will lead them out of the endless drama and counterfeit missions and back into alignment with my heart again” “For there is a divine convergence moment coming upon the church where REVELATION meets MANIFESTATION” “It’s a moment where your journals of dreams and insight become the navigational manual for the days to come” “And you no longer just speak about where I am leading the church, but you will lead them” “And you will finally build what you have only dreamed about for years” “But can you see? The enemy does not want you to step into this fulfillment moment but wants you to go around the mountain again. “His slight of hand trick is right now distracting many from what is coming. Can you see it?” “The slander coming at you is a trick” “The opposition against your voice and mission is a trick” “The fires to put out and the sudden chaos is a trick. Can you see it?” “Keep your eyes fixed on me! Don’t lose your peace! Don’t be pulled to the right or to the left” “Push and birth this with me! You are in the final stages of a long pioneering journey and I want you to experience the joy of delivery” “It’s a moment of hopeful fulfilled for my church who have been lost in the process and heavy laden pregnancy” “But now it’s a birthing and building season” “So this week, ignore the drama, silence the fear, and build and birth with me” “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “WELL DONE FOR ENDURING THE PROCESS”

By Nate Johnston • 02 Apr, 2024
I had an audible dream last night where Father God spoke to me in a heart-to-heart way. I woke up and wrote down what I remembered and I knew this was a letter to all of us, an encouragement for making it through a long season, and a re-focus for the months to come. I pray this speaks directly to your heart and draws you into even deeper dialogue with Him this month. “WELL DONE FOR ENDURING THE PROCESS” Firstly I heard Him say “Well done. Well done for enduring the process I have taken you through even though at times it has felt more than you could handle. Well done for allowing my purifying fire to come into every facet of your life. It was never meant to expose you but to remove every contaminate that would trip you up down the road. Well done, I am so proud of you! I have been on a mission to bring you out of the dark ages of your faith where constant trials were sent to overwhelm you and steal your heart from me, but they didn’t succeed. I saw all the other affections and I’m a jealous God. I saw all the other distractions looking for a way into your world. I saw all the arrows of the enemy wanting to pierce you in the back and steal you from me and I knew I needed to alter the course of your life to finally bring you into the fullness you kept asking me for. Well done for clinging to me even when you doubted my methods. Well done for worshipping me in the waiting” “HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HOPE FULFILLED LOOKS LIKE?” “My goodness never left you. It never waned even for a moment. I didn’t leave you or abandon you. But I saw you at times walking around defeated and lost, somehow convinced that hopelessness would always be a part of your life, believing that loss and settling for second best is the best life you can hope for. What happened? Have you forgotten what hope fulfilled looks like? Has it been so long? This month I am going to pull you out of defeat and seat you at the table. I am going to cause every root of hopelessness to be outnumbered by new springs of hope. I am going to remind and restore what you lost in the long road and process to where you are so you quit thinking that I don’t live up to what I promise. I DO NOT LIE, and you are about to be reminded that my promises for you are yes and amen. I’m removing the tiredness from your heart where you felt this was all on you. I am healing your heart from the toll the warfare and opposition had on you. I am taking away the slumber that kept tempting you to sleep away the season, and I am giving you back your strength and you will remember what it is to laugh and be genuinely happy and fulfilled. I will restore you and give you REST, so rest in me and watch what I do for you” “LOOK WHAT WE HAVE BUILT TOGETHER!” Then I heard Him say “Look what we built together! Can you see it! Can you see the beauty through all of the mess you have had surrounding you? It’s time to stop beating yourself up for how you have perceived you have navigated this difficult time and begin to celebrate that you have made it through some of life’s greatest obstacles and defeated the most intimidating giants. You stood well. You fought well. You have continued to hope even despite not seeing immediate change. Even when you only saw delay and discouragement crouched at your door. Now LOOK and see what we have built together. In the next month, you are going to see the fresh buds of life come from the most unexpected places and fruit where you never realized were producing for you. Seeds you have sown that died, DREAMS you once had are NOW going to be resurrected but with interest!” (When I woke up from this dream it was 4:20 am and I knew God was even speaking through that) “But the seed sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the Word and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times more than was sown!” Mark 4:20 “TAKE A LOOK AROUND, YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOU WERE!” “In the shaking, you have been fully awoken. In the wilderness and greatest battle of your life, you have been anointed with my oil. Yes, that’s right. I know it’s not what you expected. It’s not the destiny-package you were hoping for but you haven’t even seen the pages of your book yet to come. You have been stuck on the moment you are in and haven’t measured this transition next to eternity, but let me tell you, you haven’t just survived, you have been revived! It may not look like it yet but one day soon you will realize that this season of shaking was your set up, your preparation, your making! The enemy intended it to be your undoing but it didn’t work! Instead, it was your consecration, your knighting, your commissioning, and coronation. Now take a look around and see that you are not where you used to be. I have removed you from so many vices that once entangled you. I have loosed you from the places that kept you bound. Apathy and complacency are no longer suffocating the life out of you and you are no longer in a place of limitation. Can you see the wide-open space before you? Prepare your heart for this” “THIS YEAR YOU’LL KNOW ME AS PROVIDER & SUPPLIER!” “Stop asking for the scraps from under the table,” He said. “I want you to know my heart for you in this season regarding your finances and resources. You need to be fully and intimately acquainted with my goodness over your life and know that I not only desire for you to be looked after but I need you to grow in this area so I can grow you into the territory I have given you. You can’t keep having a poverty mindset when I’ve called you to the land of milk and honey. There are nations that need to be discipled and cities that need to be reached but if you keep not expecting me to provide for the vision that I gave you, how will the kingdom be released? This is a month that I am going to stretch you to believe beyond what you have before. I am calling you to ENLARGE and stretch out wider. Your vision has to get much bigger than it has been. I am breaking the survival mentality off the church and healing the wounds of lack of integrity and fear of failure. This will be a year you know me as provider and supplier. So ask me, what do you need? What does the destiny I have placed in you require? Dream with me again. Go back to the drawing board and believe beyond where you have and don’t stop til what you envision looks impossible. I am serving justice upon the assignments that have come to continually rob your bread and seed and caused my people to retreat. No, you will now advance and plant, move out of lack and into more than enough!” “PIONEER AGAIN WITH ME” It is time to finally move on from this place. It has served its purpose, but now the scenery must change just like everything else has. You mustn’t think your whole existence will be in the trenches. You are called to a war but that doesn’t mean you are meant to live in the valley of the shadow of death, no, I have been teaching you how to come up out of that place and live higher. I have been calling you up into new ways of viewing all that opposes you so you aren’t surrendering to the wrong thing. So now you are moving on from this place and we are going on a brand new adventure together. There will be many unknowns and many new roads we forge but you will find your passion again and know I am running with you. It will keep requiring courage and letting go of doing things how you once did, but it will be full of so much joy. Yes, the pages of history are before us and we are going to write them together. Will you join me? “Yet I totally trust you to rescue me one more time, so that I can see once again how good you are while I’m still alive!” Psalms 27:13 “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever” Psalm 23:6

THE BLOOD SPEAKS A BETTER WORD!

By Nate Johnston • 31 Mar, 2024
I woke up this morning in intercession over many who have been given a bad report in the last 3 - 6 months. Whether it’s a bad health report, financial situation, issues in your family/marriage, or spiritually you just feel like you are in bondage and the lies and bad reports of the enemy are broadcasting daily of your life. Today I want to come into agreement in faith that whatever assignment the enemy has released over you, the demonic decree or failure and shipwreck, the word of hopelessness and defeat, and the bad and bleak report MUST BOW TO THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB! A few weeks ago we shared that we were going to hold a gathering in Colorado Springs. That same night I shared it I went into a powerful dream. I the dream I'm in a church building and the blood of Jesus is flowing down the altar and people are running desperately to get the blood. As they run to the blood, they begin getting delivered. They're getting set free. They're getting healed, and they're coming up completely new and whole. I knew the Lord was telling me two things; This is what we were going to see that night (and we did! Link in the email) We were in a time when the revelation of the blood of Jesus and the finished work of the cross was going to bring a SHIFT back to the church. You see, you and I have been through some battles the last few years and it’s easy to begin to forget the power of Jesus to turn impossible situations around. We almost begin to tolerate and normalize the enemy’s plans because we get tired. We get so disillusioned and weary that we stop fighting and begin to believe the bad news surrounding us. Right? But…. THE BLOOD SPEAKS A BETTER WORD! At the wedding at Cana when the old wine ran out, Jesus turned water into wine and served the best last! What if we were in the days of seeing the power of the Blood revolutionize the earth and raise Gods people to new life, hope, and power that shifts everything around us? It's the forgotten weapon that the church has forsaken and this Resurrection Sunday I feel strongly the Lord saying” Let my blood turn around what you are facing!” Many of you today are feeling bound. Many of you come feeling shackled. Many of you feel stuck and tormented by the bad report. But today - the bad report must now in Jesus' name! Are you in agreement with me? “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel”Hebrews 12:24 Today we felt to simply pray with you that the blood of Jesus would break the bad report. I feel like it’s a moment where the Lord wants to re-covenant with you and break all other covenants you may be in that is bringing you bondage. The lies you have agreed with. The condemnation screaming at you. Whatever word swirl and storm you are in today must be cleared by the power of the blood! So as you read this take communion and behold Jesus. Do it on your own, or with your family. Lay down everything that you have been in bondage to. Every lie, addiction, and issue. Lay down the bad report.. and come into agreement with the victory of the blood of Jesus and the finished work. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:11 We decree today “IT IS FINISHED” over your life. Every plan of the enemy to take you out and rob you no longer have any power in Jesus' name! Addictions are breaking off your life. Loss and calamity are breaking. Religious holds are breaking Jezebelic muzzles and holds are breaking. Sickness, disease, and death is breaking. The war against your home is breaking. The war against your finances are breaking.. IN JESUS NAME! This resurrection Sunday we pray that you would feel the deepest, richest peace you have felt in years as you step out of the demonic decree that has been hanging over you and enter the fresh hope and amazing future God has for you In Jesus name!
