WE ARE IN A GOTCHA MOMENT - THE ENEMY HAS OVERPLAYED HIS HAND & GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA WILL NOT BE OVERTURNED!

WE ARE IN A GOTCHA MOMENT - THE ENEMY HAS OVERPLAYED HIS HAND & GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA WILL NOT BE OVERTURNED!

(Transcript of a word spoken on Nov 18th 2020)

As I just was in worship yesterday I began to prophesy “Gotcha gotcha gotcha, the enemy has overplayed his hand!” “Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha the enemy has overplayed his hand!”. And as I began to prophesy this, I began to see in the spirit and I saw that just like in a game of cards his hand was suddenly flipped over, like what you see in the movies where there’s someone who’s been cheating at a game of poker, it was like suddenly you saw the cheat card that was in their hands, and that they have been cheating all along, that they have been doing things in hiding, in secret all along. Then the Lord said to me, “The enemy doesn’t have the cards that people think he does”.

And I heard the Lord say “You are about to see the greatest gotcha moments!” We are about to see the greatest gotcha moments revealed in the earth. We are about to see all the areas and the places the enemy has had his hand in the nations. What I saw then in the spirit, I saw tentacles stretching out from the earth, and it was weaving its way through the nations like a root-system, that was weaving itself through the nations, and suddenly every single area that the enemy had been weaving his lies, was suddenly being revealed, and suddenly being shown for what it was. Every tentacle was traced back to this root. A network of evil assignments suddenly uncovering the source. We are about to see this in the nations. We are about to see where the enemy’s hand.

We need to pray Grace and Mercy over the people, who don’t even know they are puppets right now. We need to pray Grace and Mercy over people, who don’t even know they are on strings right now, and they don’t even know it. They are so many areas within society, and I would even say within the church, they are just people being on strings, not even know they are part of a network, that the enemy has been doing to cover up his game in the nations, and we are about to see that overturned.

THE AWAKENING OF THE CHURCH & THE TALL TREE MADE LOW

Why do I believe that God is about to overturn this? It is because we have never seen such awakening of the Body of Christ. I am not speaking this politically, I am talking about how we as the Body of Christ, have stepped into our awakening in 2020 and call to prophesy and pray, and what has our prayer and intercession done? Our prayer and intercession have just begun to reveal and expose the things that have been warring against the very revival and outpouring that God has even wanting to release on the Earth, and God is saying “It is gotcha time for the enemy. It is gotcha time for where there has been evil that has gone on unchecked and unseen”. For too long the body of Christ has let it happen because we have not dug deep enough to look and see that it is in our own back yard. I keep hearing “The bad tree is being cut down at the root system, and the righteous tree is being raised up” I believe that God is saying that in the nation of America right now, the bad tree is being cut down, and the righteous tree is rising up in America!, In Ezekiel 17:24, he says this:

“All the trees of the forest will know that I the Lord, bring down the tall tree, and will make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.”

I am prophesying over the United States of America right now, that the tall tree is being made low, and the low tree is being made tall. That God is raising up the righteous remnant in America, that we are about to see even in the nations, righteousness that is going to reveal itself, and, it’s going to save the Nation of America and the Nations.

It’s time for righteousness to go forth, to be released in the Earth. I feel like this is also personal for some people right now, I believe this is like the season where you are about to see the exposure of the enemy's hand in different places of your life, and God is about to say “Gotcha!” You have been going through all these difficult areas, the warring against your marriage, family, and your finances, and God says “It’s gotcha time!” and you are about to have that gotcha moment where you see clearly, and you say “I am not going to allow that happen ever again!” I feel like God is restoring the years the locust has eaten for so many people as it is revealed. The scripture says;

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord will deliver him from every single one of them.”

Don’t stop right now. Don’t think, “Well maybe I have just contended long enough, I have prayed long enough and now it’s my time to stop, I need to put my sword in the shelf,” and God says “No, the weapons of My warfare are mighty!” You are about to see the recompense, you are about to see what your prayers have been bringing. You are about to see the breaking of that assignment, that bondage, and those cycles that have come against you and your family and your children and your health be broken in the mighty name of Jesus. I feel like it’s such a tipping point in the body of Christ, such a tipping point, we don’t even realize what our prayers and intercession have accomplished, we don’t even realize what God is doing.

STRENGTH TO THE TIRED AND BURNT OUT

You have said “I can barely make it another day, I am so tired”. There are people who have been feeling extraordinarily tired and weary this season, I want to pray for you. I feel like God wants to release strength. You are about to feel a fresh passion and fresh fire in your spirit. God right now, I ask just for those being tired and weary, for those who have been feeling just like want to believe this but I am just exhausted. God right now refresh the weary, Father even right now they are feeling they are being cut down low, Father you are going to make them high, you are going to restore them, restore Father their youth and their strength, they are going to rise up on wings of eagles, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

UPSETTING THE APPLE CART

There is an overturning taking place in media right now, and the phrase I heard in my spirit was “I am upsetting the apple cart”. The idiom means “to spoil carefully laid plans, to reveal things that have been hidden or things that have been not exposed”. When people say, “don’t upset the apple cart”, it means “don’t go against the flow”. I believe this is twofold, I believe this is about right now that God is saying “I am actually disrupting the flow, I am disrupting the normal way of doing things. I am disrupting the plans of the enemy”. It reminds me of Job 5:12;

"He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success"

I believe it’s almost like a psalm 55 kind of recompense, when there have been things that are lurking behind the scenes, God is literally upsetting the apple cart of the enemy right now. Regarding media, I really felt the Lord speaking to me that we are at the beginning of a reckoning day for media. The media have been operating in the second heaven, jezebelic realm for a long time as the prophets of Baal, governing the airwaves, lying to the world, and disrupting the flow of the prophets. This is partly because the prophets haven’t been speaking and did not occupy this space. The prophets of Baal have taken up an office where they are not meant to, it’s a violation of design.

I believe there is about to be some kind of revealing to the network of lies and deception that God is bringing reckoning to. I believe that where there has been deceit, where there has been deception, where there has been the hand of the enemy actually pulling people on strings, is right now, being dealt with, and God is bringing reckoning to those areas. I believe God is going to put “a spanner in the works”, He is going to reveal the enemy's hand in censorship and the plan ti shut down the voice of the church in this critical time.

God is upsetting the apple cart even in your own life, he is upsetting all those areas where it’s Jezebel’s spirit that has actually been manipulating scenarios around you, and they are about to be broken and severed in the name of Jesus.

THE PROPHETIC UPSETTERS ARE EMERGING

The Prophets are emerging. We are again in the days of Elijah, and the real Prophets are coming out of the cave saying “I am done being fed bread and water in the Cave, hiding from my destiny, and now is my time to come out! I am going to confront the areas that the Prophets of Baal, have been prophe-lying, speaking the wrong things, and just spreading the lies of the enemy, calling good evil and evil good”.

And it’s time the prophets rose up and said things plainly and were not afraid to say it. Even right now I break the fear and the intimidation that’s come against you. I break it in the name of Jesus, and I prophesy that you will rise up right now! I prophesy that the Prophets will rise, that the Prophetic company will be rebuilt upon the altar again in Jesus mighty name. I prophesy famine is breaking off your life, it’s breaking off America, and the principalities that have ruled the Land are being evicted. The veil that is being cast over the nation by the media is breaking right now in Jesus' name. The spell that Jezebel has had over the nation, and over you is breaking right now in Jesus' name. The heaviness that has been against your mind, the heaviness that has been against your voice, the accusation that has been against the body of Christ, is breaking in Jesus' name. The war against your family is breaking, and the war against your voice, is coming to an end, and your assignment begins NOW in the mighty name of Jesus!

FRESH FIRE AFTER THE WARFARE & THE COMMISSIONING IN CONFLICT

I feel like there is a fresh baptism of fire for the prophets right now in Jesus name especially those who have been through intense warfare. There is going to be a fresh ignition and voices are going to rise up from this place of CONFLICT in Jesus mighty name. We will look back, and we will say “2020 was the year that the prophets awoke!” I’m talking about the governmental Prophets.  We have had a lot of prophetic people but we have not had a lot of prophets, and now it is time for the Prophets to emerge, it is time for the strong ox apostles to emerge, those that are not afraid to oppose demonic culture in the land. that time of refining and decision for the church where the Lord is saying “Will you keep having a fear of men or will you stand with my council?” The prophets that have spoken what they have spoken - stand with it! It is not about your reputation. Right now this shaking is the re-establishing of the personal and corporate covenant where God is saying “Who will you serve?”

THE SHAKING & THE RE-ESTABLISHING, & THE MESS

When we were in DC just a few weeks ago I kept seeing the foundations shaking and there was something emerging up from the earth and I heard the Lord said: “I am re-establishing the Covenant of the land with the Lord, I am re-establishing my Covenant with the land of America, I am re-establishing my covenant right now with the land of America!”

“these are put into the fire, and I will refine them like silver and test them like gold, and they will call on my name, and I will answer them, and I will say “they are my people”, and they will say “the Lord is our God” (Zechariah 13:9).

“And I will Establish my covenant (Genesis 17:7), as an everlasting covenant between me and you, and descendants after you, for generations to come, to be your God, and God of your descendants after you”

Right now God is re-establishing your covenant with him. He is re-establishing your passion, he is re-establishing your heart with Him. Right now, America is being re-established, and will not cave in to defeat, and even now I prophesy that America is in its greatest turning to God. Proverbs 14:4 says:

“Where no  oxen  are, the trough is  clean ; but increase comes by the strength of an  ox .”

Right now all we can see is mess but God is re-establishing his covenant with America, and we are in the greatest turning of a nation, to God, and not away from God. “The church is arising, the church is arising and shining (Isaiah 60), and we are going to see the most glorious days come,” says the Lord.

IT’S A ZIKLAG MOMENT – PURSUE AND RECOVER!

We are in a Ziklag moment right now where David and his Men, and they came back after battle and everything was stolen from them and his men began to get soul-sick - they began to get heartsick. Right now that has been happening with many in the body of Christ. Many are saying “we have lost the war, we have lost it,” and they are beginning to get soul-sick because they are not seeing the recovery, they are not seeing the full picture, and they need the prophetic ones to arise, they need the watchmen to arise, they need the intercessors to arise and say “this is our moment, we can’t let go right now, in this moment. We must HOLD OUR POST!”

In 1st Samuel 30:8, God gave David an instruction to “pursue and you will certainly overtake and succeed in the rescue,” and I believe that this is an instruction and a strategy for us right now because God is saying, “I want you to pursue!” The word pursue means to “chase” and I hear the lord saying “I am chasing the foxes out of America, I am chasing the demonic out of America, I am revealing and exposing the demonic and I am chasing it out of America. The foxes are leaving already, they are leaving, they are realizing their hands are fallen and they are breaking off and running out of America!”

THE TAKING DOWN OF GENERATIONAL GIANTS

We are going to remove the foxes, remove the evil, we are going to overtake it and remove it and clear it from the land. Can we actually see the assignment that has been warring constantly in cycles against America and against the nations suddenly be overthrown in a moment by a people that chose to strengthen themselves in the Lord, come before Him and then go and have the bravery and courage to pursue the thing that many generations before them didn’t have the courage to pursue? Yes! What if in this season God is calling us to take down the giants that many generations haven’t done? What if everybody that is living right now is called to take down the giant that other centuries of believers have not taken down? Right now, we are in a moment, we are in a Ziklag moment.

PROPHETS, LOOK A BIT CLOSER, THERES A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL

In a dream recently I saw cogs and wheels turning and as I kept zooming in and zooming in I saw suddenly what had been there that God wanted me to see - it was a small little key, and this speaks about Ezekiel 1:16:

“And I saw something that looked like a wheel on the ground, beside each of the four-faced creatures, this is what the wheel looked like, they were identical wheels, sparkling like diamonds in the Sun. They looked like they were wheels within wheels like a gyroscope”

A gyroscope is a device; in Greek, it actually means “to look”. It’s a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, positioning or an angular velocity. It’s about positioning. I believe it is God speaking to the prophetic people right now in this season that we have to look deeper than we have looked before, we need to dig a little deep not just to see the wheel but the wheel within the wheel, not just the revelation but the revelation within the revelation, and right now in this season, God is speaking to the prophets and He is commissioning all of us to see beyond the realm of sight. He is calling us to live above the second heavens. We have been living and battling with people over opinions; we need to step out of that place and think differently. You can have an opinion but I am telling you something, you are going to lose your calling quickly just hanging out with the demons and angels in the second heaven trying to do their job. Be seated with Him in heavenly places and step out of that place. We need to stop rehearsing the news and calling it prophecy. You can share things but stop rehearsing it and calling it prophecy.

Prophets are the ones who speak the future, they are the ones who speak strategy, they are the ones who speak forth the wheel in the wheel, not just the wheel itself. Prophecy is speaking forth what is happening in the third heavens. We have to see the future. There is an anointing for clarity to see the enemy’s hand when he hasn’t turned it over. There’s an anointing to see the things that have been going on in secret and hidden places.

So, this is my word to the prophets. This week take a look a little deeper. Look a little bit closer and into divine revelation a little further. Strategies are coming, laser accuracy is available because the secret place is open for business and it is your time to step into that place and to see what God is doing. We need to step up higher, we need to realize we are citizens of heaven and that God is going to help us to pray, prophesy, and to speak from a different vantage point.

So if you are wanting clarity, laser accuracy, you want to see the wheel within the wheel, just right now put your hands up to say, “Dear God right now I ask for the wheel within the wheel anointing. We ask for the revelatory anointing. The ‘eyes to see’ anointing. God, we ask that right now Father you will give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear, that Father in this season that our spiritual senses will be on an even greater level of sensitivity but not to the ways of the enemy, not to all the different things that cause us to go into fear and anxiety and the things that may spiral out of control, make us feel defeated. God our sensitivity will be to you, what’s taking place in the heavenly realms. That God, that we will legislate from the highest heaven that we will prophesy from that place and speak from that place. in Jesus mighty name

SLUMBER BROKEN & THE BEGINNING OF A NEW INTERCESSION MOVEMENT

God is waking up those who have been sleeping. Slumber is no longer an option. Being tame is no longer an acceptable option. God is calling forth those who will roar, God is calling forth a remnant who will rise up, God is speaking to the church right now in this hour, he is calling the watchmen to their posts and the midwives to their place where they will contend and see their nation turned to God; their regions turned to God. God is positioning His watchmen and His midwives to contend over local areas and issues as well and He has positioned them to pray.

I feel like there is going to be a whole new intercession movement that even comes into 2021 and it’s going to be a movement of seeing the wells open up in America and the nations, the wells of revival open up again. We are going to contend for the wells, we are going to contend for the places that have been long forgotten, the deep recesses of words, and the destiny that has been forgotten. The ancient things that have been declared over the nations shall begin to be revealed and we are going to see the greatest harvest in history.

We are going to see every thought and demonic force that overshadowed our nation be destroyed. We are going to see eyes open and families begin to worship and come to God as we have never seen before. Jesus, I ask right now for the protection of every single person here. Father your peace, your shalom is over them in the name of JESUS. Raise up prophetic communities, a prophetic remnant, in this hour in the mighty name of Jesus. I feel like God is putting a fresh roar in you. He is putting a fresh fire and fight in you that you haven’t had in a very long time. He is putting a fresh faith in you and HOPE in you in Jesus mighty name.

THE DREAM OF THE THREE COINS

By Nate Johnston • 08 May, 2024
I've had the same dream consecutively for the last three nights in a row, and I believe this dream is the Lord speaking about what He is about to pour out upon the body of Christ in this next season. Before I share the dream, I need to speak about the season that we have been in. It's what I have called a spiritual and natural recession. Since 2020, there has been an assignment or recession constantly trying to make the church back peddle on faith amidst so much shaking. It's the season where finances have felt tighter because the enemy is anticipating this great wealth transfer that he dreads coming to the church. That's why financial systems have been shaken, interest rates have skyrocketed, and people have gone into survival mode. Yes, the enemy has been afraid that the church will not be able to build the infrastructure for the years to come. He has tried to bring back a poverty mindset upon the body of Christ and a hope-deferred spirit to cause us to feel deeply let down by God and doubt His promises. This is why we have seen a great delay in promised provisions, breakthroughs, and plans. It's where many have had an endless assault on their bank accounts and things that used to flourish in past seasons. This is why it has felt that things have been falling to the ground and failing, and many of your plans and ideas have been shipwrecked, and you have not seen them flourish as you used to in years past. But I feel even before I share my dream, I need to say to you - this is all changing. We've been in a season that has felt like recession, and the news is only backing up this fear agenda, but just as we are on the cusp of what the world is saying is going to be another great depression, the Lord says today that you are going to experience my EXPANSION! GO TO THE RIVER! Now, let me share the dream. In the dream, I am simply told that I must go to the mouth of a river and catch a fish. As I catch this fish and bring it in, I open up its mouth, and there are three gold coins inside. On the first coin, it says DEBT. On the second coin, it says SOW. On the third coin, it says BUILD. Do you remember the story of when Jesus owed taxes and what He told Peter to do? "But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth, and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." - Matthew 17:27 I believe this dream was shown to me three times because three represents restoration and fullness. When Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus restored him three times by saying, "Feed my sheep!" I believe this dream is speaking into a season of such endless provision in those three areas - debt repayment, Sowing, and Building. We are about to see a season of the repayment of debts that is not just the debts that you owe, or that God wants to wipe clear, but the debts that people owe you. We are coming into a time where the Lord is repaying that which the locust ate in your life. You have lived in such a deficit and been living in a deficit mindset constantly - always under and never above, but the Lord is coming to repay that which has been stolen and robbed from you for many seasons past. And where you've been living stewarding debt, the Lord wants to switch that so that you are beginning to steward the endless resources of the Kingdom. Regarding the second coin, The scripture that came to mind was Ecclesiastes 11:1; "Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days." I believe we're entering into a time again when the Lord is restoring the joy of sowing. He's restoring the principle of sowing and the joy of sowing where many have felt like they've been in that survival mode and being unable to give, or even just being afraid of giving because of endless hardship and financial assault. The Lord is demolishing that mindset, and he's releasing joy upon the body of Christ to be the sowers and givers that we are called to be. I believe this is a promise that we're stepping into a time of great sowing where the Lord doesn't want us to be given wealth for the sake of hoarding it up, but for the sake of being a river, a flow-through, whereas He gives into us, we continue to release that finance through us and to those around us. We begin to help others build their dreams, build the things that God has given them, rather than just building what we have been given. We are entering a time where the world will look to us because we will be flourishing like a Goshen in the midst of so much ruin in man's systems on earth. THIRD COIN - BUILD Regarding the third coin, Many have been saying for a long time, "God, how do I build when I don't have the resources to build?" And so, for many years, people have been contending; they've been bringing the plots of land before their eyes. They've been printing out their vision and praying over it. But over the last year, I've noticed that people have begun to grow weary because it's like, "God, you've given us a massive vision, but we don't even have 1% of the finances to be able to build this vision!" It has felt like a deep cloud of discouragement and soul sickness has hit many because the enemy has been delaying these plans for so long now. It's begun to feel like a pie in the sky. It's begun to think like fool's gold. People have begun to get despondent and frustrated. There have been people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and in the midst of that, it almost feels like a cruel joke to have to believe in the promises of God for a big vision when you're barely surviving in some of these other areas. But I believe this dream is speaking that the Lord is about to release the resources to build. He's releasing the provision to finally build what He has given us. But today, the Lord says, "Get ready, the body of Christ, because you've been in survival mode for a long time. You've been in a time where you've had to manage and juggle and shuffle. "But I'm leading you out of that limited place into a time of a great reset of finances and provision of mindsets, and in your heart where you've grown hope deferred, you're about to build and see that which I've given you to build, get ready body of Christ, get ready body, get ready!" it's time to go down to the river. It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

FOR THOSE ASKING "WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?"

By Nate Johnston • 01 May, 2024
This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

But I feel even before I share my dream, I need to say to you - this is all changing. We've been in a season that has felt like recession, and the news is only backing up this fear agenda, but just as we are on the cusp of what the world is saying is going to be another great depression, the Lord says today that you are going to experience my EXPANSION! GO TO THE RIVER! Now, let me share the dream. In the dream, I am simply told that I must go to the mouth of a river and catch a fish. As I catch this fish and bring it in, I open up its mouth, and there are three gold coins inside. On the first coin, it says DEBT. On the second coin, it says SOW. On the third coin, it says BUILD. Do you remember the story of when Jesus owed taxes and what He told Peter to do? "But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth, and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." - Matthew 17:27 I believe this dream was shown to me three times because three represents restoration and fullness. When Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus restored him three times by saying, "Feed my sheep!" I believe this dream is speaking into a season of such endless provision in those three areas - debt repayment, Sowing, and Building. We are about to see a season of the repayment of debts that is not just the debts that you owe, or that God wants to wipe clear, but the debts that people owe you. We are coming into a time where the Lord is repaying that which the locust ate in your life. You have lived in such a deficit and been living in a deficit mindset constantly - always under and never above, but the Lord is coming to repay that which has been stolen and robbed from you for many seasons past. And where you've been living stewarding debt, the Lord wants to switch that so that you are beginning to steward the endless resources of the Kingdom. Regarding the second coin, The scripture that came to mind was Ecclesiastes 11:1; "Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days." I believe we're entering into a time again when the Lord is restoring the joy of sowing. He's restoring the principle of sowing and the joy of sowing where many have felt like they've been in that survival mode and being unable to give, or even just being afraid of giving because of endless hardship and financial assault. The Lord is demolishing that mindset, and he's releasing joy upon the body of Christ to be the sowers and givers that we are called to be. I believe this is a promise that we're stepping into a time of great sowing where the Lord doesn't want us to be given wealth for the sake of hoarding it up, but for the sake of being a river, a flow-through, whereas He gives into us, we continue to release that finance through us and to those around us. We begin to help others build their dreams, build the things that God has given them, rather than just building what we have been given. We are entering a time where the world will look to us because we will be flourishing like a Goshen in the midst of so much ruin in man's systems on earth. THIRD COIN - BUILD Regarding the third coin, Many have been saying for a long time, "God, how do I build when I don't have the resources to build?" And so, for many years, people have been contending; they've been bringing the plots of land before their eyes. They've been printing out their vision and praying over it. But over the last year, I've noticed that people have begun to grow weary because it's like, "God, you've given us a massive vision, but we don't even have 1% of the finances to be able to build this vision!" It has felt like a deep cloud of discouragement and soul sickness has hit many because the enemy has been delaying these plans for so long now. It's begun to feel like a pie in the sky. It's begun to think like fool's gold. People have begun to get despondent and frustrated. There have been people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and in the midst of that, it almost feels like a cruel joke to have to believe in the promises of God for a big vision when you're barely surviving in some of these other areas. But I believe this dream is speaking that the Lord is about to release the resources to build. He's releasing the provision to finally build what He has given us. But today, the Lord says, "Get ready, the body of Christ, because you've been in survival mode for a long time. You've been in a time where you've had to manage and juggle and shuffle. "But I'm leading you out of that limited place into a time of a great reset of finances and provision of mindsets, and in your heart where you've grown hope deferred, you're about to build and see that which I've given you to build, get ready body of Christ, get ready body, get ready!" it's time to go down to the river. It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

FOR THOSE ASKING "WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?"

By Nate Johnston • 01 May, 2024
This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

TO ALL OF YOU FACING GIANTS THIS WEEK

By Nate Johnston • 01 May, 2024
To all of you facing giants this week: As I was praying I heard the Lord say “This is a moment to REMEMBER a what I have said and what I have done” “This is a moment to remind yourself of the breakthroughs you have seen and the impossibilities I demolished in front of you” “This is a time to find your greatest trials that you saw me move in and anchor yourself to that testimony that I will do once again” “This is a time to dig up the words spoken and prophesied over you and go to war with them, arm yourself with them, and stir up your faith to see them come to pass” “I know it’s hard to get your hopes up right now, and it’s been so long since you have seen opposition budge but you are about to see mountains move!” “Cut off the sources of fear, and stop listening to the giants trying to talk you out of your inheritance because soon they will be gone and you’ll hold the keys to the land” “Reject the lies and the failure, and ask yourself; who is fighting for you? Who wages war with you? Who is by your side? Who will never let you do this alone? That’s right, I am with you” “So this week raise up a shout and press into my presence. Lift up your sword and pierce the thick air with your cry, because your worship is going to disarm the warfare and unlock the gates” “The giants in the land are no match for my power and anointing I have given to you. So shake off the defeat and feeling powerless because you have the same power in you that resurrected Jesus from the grave” Let every obstacle, principality, roadblock, and demonic assignment shake in their boots as you March into this week with your hopes up and your sword raised high... we are going to see VICTORIES for the battle belongs to the Lord! “I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings— the one who rescues David, your loving servant, from the fatal sword” - Psalm 144:10 “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s” - 2 Chronicles 20:15 

FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING “PEOPLE FATIGUE”

By Nate Johnston • 28 Apr, 2024
Many are right now experiencing “People fatigue” which is the bewildering burnout after long seasons of being used, manipulated, and pulled in every direction by people for extended periods of time. People fatigue is the result of being constantly coerced and controlled, told what you should and shouldn’t do, being pulled into drama and situations there was no grace on, and/or worn down by people who keep overriding boundaries, and then gaslighting you when you confront it. People fatigue comes to the surface when you realize that you are either bitter and resentful at any level of relationship or involvement with others, overly wary, cynical of all people, or are noticing yourself hiding and retreating. Other signs are anxiety at gatherings or events, scrolling through social media, and anger/frustration seeing others in healthy relationships. If this is you, it’s because the enemy wants you to never find family and genuine covenant relationships. In fact, I believe it’s one of the enemies tactics to isolate you further after you have already come out of a long wilderness, sending you back into obscurity and a Lone Ranger lifestyle. If he can cause you to fear people or have you attempt to do kingdom without people, then he knows he has won in keeping your calling at bay. But let’s go one step further. People fatigue at the surface is people burnout but underneath it’s a triggered area of soul trauma that is rooted in feeling abandoned or used by God. What? How does that work? Let me explain; Think of a pastor who knows his job is to look after his flock. He gives his life to that congregation often at the expense of his family and own wellbeing. Then one day he crashes hard with a moral failure or just mentally/emotionally. Who does he feel let down by? People? Not necessarily. He feels let down by God. “Why did you call me to something I couldn’t keep up with?” He says. But the issue isn’t that God overloaded us, but that religion did. We did. Hang on, how were we part of the problem? It’s easy for us to accidentally slip into the role of fixer when we are in ministry or doing kingdom because we see the great need and think that if we don’t do it, who will right? Before too long we have been spread thin, see the warning signs, but often don’t stop until we have become completely shipwrecked. Is this where you are? Are you in people fatigue? The first step, is dealing with your heart towards the Lord. Ask Him to show you what He called you to without all of the extra baggage and hats that he didn’t tell you to wear. Make the clear distinction between that which He called you to and the over bearing religious burden you have taken on. Also, ask Him to heal and restore your heart from the weariness of the last season. Secondly, deal with any areas of people pleasing in your heart that keeps you in bondage to people or feeling like you owe everyone your time and energy. Is there a reason you keep getting to a place of burnout? Ask the Lord to show you. Thirdly, forgive people who have worn you down and whether knowingly or unknowingly, used you over and over. Maybe you also need to forgive people who have promised things or said things but haven’t delivered. And lastly create some boundaries. Write out a list of rules for yourself of how to effectively do relationships. How can you be in connection to others and a community of people where you feel valued, can pour into them but not feel like you get drained of everything? How do you interact without getting pulled on in an unhealthy way? Decide to up your communication game and value yourself more. You are not being unloving or mean by stating your boundary lines. LAST THOUGHTS Learning to trust people again is a big deal and can be easier said than done but it’s worth fighting to achieve. There are aspects of God we don’t get to experience without community and a close knit group of people to run with. This doesn’t mean we have to open up the floodgates of our hearts to everyone either. In fact, we need more discernment in the days to come and need to know who we are meant to do covenant relationship with and it’s not everyone. One other source of people fatigue are those in “wrong companies” or yoked to people or leaders who are using them to do their bidding. You keep wondering why you are depleted in every way when you are “serving the man of God” but it’s because you are being used. It’s time to break those yokes and as you do you’ll start to be healed and get refreshed again. Some people attract drama and by being in the pig pen with them you keep getting their mud on you. Leave it! Shut the door! “Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way” — Isaiah 35:3
