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.

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025
I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name! 

WHEN JEZEBEL SENDS YOU INTO ISOLATION

By Nate Johnston • June 3, 2025
One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name.

We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name! 

WHEN JEZEBEL SENDS YOU INTO ISOLATION

By Nate Johnston • June 3, 2025
One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name. 

SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS TODAY—TURN THE PAGE!

By Nate Johnston • May 27, 2025
Let go. Don’t get stuck because you can’t move on without the closure of answers to why things landed the way they did. Why things fell apart and why you were left holding the broken fragments of a dream you felt God led you to. Why you were attacked so relentlessly and lost so much. Why you were shipwrecked, slandered, and feel like you have only gone backwards not forwards. I know it’s cost you everything and you don’t see what it produced yet, but unless you turn the page it won’t allow God to connect the dots and reshuffle the pages that right now feel out of order. For isn’t he the orchestrator of your life? He knows what those dark nights produced even when you didn’t. He knows what those seasons were for even though right now all you see when you look behind is dead ends and wild goose chases. But unless you turn the page you’ll never get to see the rest of the story and see Him connect all the seasons like poetry. Yes, even the hard and most painful moments He has a way of turning around if you’ll let Him. So how do you do that today? Give up. It’s where you choose to close the chapter by giving Him the pieces and questions. It’s a faith thing and the deepest surrender when it feels unjust and you don’t understand. And I know many reading this feel bottled up with grief, but today refuse to keep rehearsing or trying to do this in your own strength. The floor is the only way forward and there’s a brand new chapter waiting to unfold. It’s a call to trust. To believe that even what you can’t understand has been seen, measured, and held by a God who doesn’t waste pain. But you have been living in a chapter that ended a long time ago. The ink dried, the door closed, but your heart stayed behind trying to rewrite what already happened. Let that go. The new is already here waiting for you to choose it over the tired tape of the past you have been watching. It’s here to show you that there’s so much more ahead for you than you knew. It’s waiting to breathe life into your lungs and bring clarity and vision after the fog. So turn the page, not because you understand but because you are choosing to trust the one who’s writing it. And watch what He does with the blank space. 

DON'T MISS YOUR BURNING BUSH SEASON

By Nate Johnston • May 27, 2025
As we start this week, I have a word for many out there: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Or maybe I should say, don’t overlook your burning bush season. Don’t miss it. We often look at seasons where things don’t add up or make sense and diagnose them as seasons of waiting, seasons we’re just trying to survive until we get to the next destination, the next stop. We don’t always see the richness of what God is depositing in each season. In the last few days, I keep hearing this: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Remember the story of Moses? He was tending his father-in-law’s sheep in the wilderness when he saw the burning bush. He was simply doing his job, satisfied in it when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law… and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.” - Exodus 3:1–2 “God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’” - Exodus 3:4 He was simply doing his job, when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” - Exodus 3:10 And I believe we are in a moment right now that, to many, feels like a standstill. It feels like a hiatus after a long season of pioneering for the Lord, one that has strangely led to this place of wilderness. As I’ve been sharing for a while, we’ve been in a Hosea 2 season, where the Lord has been leading the Church back into the wilderness. That wilderness has been necessary for you. You’ve needed respite. You’ve needed refreshing. You’ve needed to break away from the hustle so God could reset you and bring you back to encounter, which is the ultimate reset. That’s what truly resets you. You’ve taken on so many mantles and jackets—Saul’s armor—for years. You don’t know which way is up anymore, or what your assignment is, who you’re called to, or who you’re not called to. You don’t know where your alignments are meant to be. You’ve had your hands in too many pies, your feet muddy from too many places. You’ve been slimed, slandered. You’ve walked through heartache, difficulty, betrayal. Yet, you’ve felt the compulsion to step into anything just to feel like you’re not lost. But no, the wilderness has been necessary to set you free. Here’s what you need to know: the wilderness can shift quickly because the wilderness leads to encounter, and encounter launches you into your new assignment. I say this over you and prophesy: you are in a very small window of time where the Lord is doing a massive work. The time isn’t long but the work is deep. Let me say that again: the time isn’t long, but the work is deep. God is going deep generationally. This isn’t a short cleanup process. God is going deep into your life, and He wants to set your feet on a new foundation. That’s right this season you’re in right now is a season of a brand-new slab being laid in your life. A new foundation. What is foundation? It’s where God gets you ready, gears you up for the new thing He’s going to build in your life, around you, and through you. Last year, we went to Australia, and the Lord gave me a dream: two towers crumbling to the ground. He said, “You’re at ground zero.” That’s what this is—a ground zero. A new slab has been laid in your life. God is going low and slow right now. He’s getting you ready because many of us have built for years without a foundation—without solid structure or deep roots. So God’s been setting that right for the new season, and for the Church. But we often misdiagnose seasons of fresh foundation as stagnancy, when they’re anything but. When the Lord sets your heart right, He aligns you to a rhythm and a synergy you didn’t know in the past season. He sharpens your discernment your ability to see and know what’s true. He leads you to the right people, right places, and right environments. I believe one key part of this new foundation is that God is leading many out of loneliness and isolation. He’s not just setting your feet upon the rock of salvation He’s breaking off orphan mentalities, the hustle, the striving and leading you into an Acts 2 infrastructure: community, family, people who hold your arms up so you can thrive. This foundation includes restoration God restoring the years the locusts have eaten. And He’s doing that right now. Now for the weighty part of this word: That moment with Moses at the burning bush was more significant than we often realize. It was like Elisha being mantled by Elijah a sudden shift into his true calling. In that moment, God told Moses: “ Go. Set my people free.” And Moses responded, “But God, I don’t know how to speak.” God replied, “When you go, I will give you the words. I will give you signs. I will give you the power.” “Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ And the Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths?… Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’” - Exodus 4:10–12 He didn’t just send Moses on an impossible mission. He backed him with the power of heaven. And I feel the word of the Lord right now for many who have been in this season of waiting: You have been fashioned and formed to be a voice for the Lord in this next season. To set the Church free. To set the bound free. God is raising up unconventional, unusual, untrained voices who carry His heart. And I prophesy, in the mighty name of Jesus: this is your burning bush season. You are stepping out of the wilderness and into the bold voice God has called you to be. Let me go one step further: This week look. Look for the signs in your life of breakout. Look for the moments. The encounters. Because that’s where God is waiting for you. You’re looking for external change, for doors to open. But you’re missing the door that’s already swung wide open: the door of encounter. The door to the secret place. The door that leads into the tent of meeting. That’s what I’m calling you to. That’s what God is commissioning you into - a season of intimacy and encounter. So let me prophesy over your - this week, your wilderness shifts. It shifts from waiting to encounter, from wandering aimlessly to walking in clarity. The fog lifts. The silence breaks. Heaven is speaking. Dreams come now! Insight floods your spirit like a rushing river. May the full healing of the wilderness come—so the rest, the restoration, the commissioning can follow. Lord, raise up your wild voices. Those untrained by man but marked by fire. Those who have met You in hidden places. Let them rise now, rooted, ready, and roaring in Jesus’ name. Amen.
