WORD FOR THOSE EMERGING FROM THE WILDERNESS

WORD FOR THOSE EMERGING FROM THE WILDERNESS

(This is an edited transcription of a prophetic word released via live video broadcast on 13th June 2019)

This is an hour where Holy Spirit is saying “You have permission. You have permission to arise and to shine in this hour.” The Lord is saying “It is the hour of Isaiah 60 being fulfilled” where they are arising and shining - the crazy, the wacky, the ones with all the different expressions and the different blueprints that God has placed inside of you; this is the hour.

God is saying “Arise and shine, arise and shine.” Stop trying to get permission from men when God has giving you permission; because we are constantly comparing. We are constantly looking; we are constantly trying to measure what we carry according to culture and to the church culture and to what is acceptable.

The Lord is saying “I don’t want you to look at those things. Will you constantly feast on the throne room in My presence and My Glory and you will live by a different standard? You will legislate from a different place. You will release from a different place.”

VOICES OF HARVEST

Right now God is calling you; whether you are in a church or not in a church. This is what it says, The Holy Spirit, He searches through the earth.” He’s searching through the earth; He’s looking for those who will say yes. He’s looking and He’s searching, and His eyes are on you.

This is the Joel 2 season of the Spirit of God being poured out on the earth. I tell you what; the fruit of that is going to look messy and crazy at first. The fruit of that is not going to look like you can manage it; like you can have an admin team and a team of people trying to manage it in your church organization. It will not be enough to catch the outpouring and the harvest that is coming but God is starting with you right now.

He’s calling you out of that place and I want to speak to those who are emerging from the wilderness. What am I talking about? I’m talking about a specific people. I’m talking about a people who have maybe been living on the fringe in this past season. I’m talking about people that carry the Spirit of God; who love Jesus; who know that they have been created and designed to love God and there has been a season that you have been in an isolation and wilderness and a place of preparation and you have been trying to navigate it knowing that this is your season of emerging; this is your season that God is leading you out into something new.

LOOK TO THE WILDERNESS

God has been telling me for years now to look to the wilderness for the weighty voices from the Lord. And that’s not to devalue those who God has birthed and trained in the church; that’s not what I’m saying. I’m talking about those who have been through the fire and the wilderness; those who have been through a season that has been so intense that you thought you were going to die; a season of assassination, a season of such opposition, a season where everything came against you yet you’re still standing; God says, “They are the ones who carry my weighty glory” They are the ones who carry a word from the Lord for this hour.

I think we do often keep looking at the wrong places for the weighty voice of the Lord. I think we’re constantly looking for those who are refined. We’re constantly looking for these voices that have it all together, but God is looking for the ones that are rough around the edges that will simply be a container for His Glory to pour in and leak out in the earth.

We are going to see a different blueprint. We’re going to see a different kind of voice arise in this season. We’re going to see something arise that we have not seen that will be a solution to what the earth is crying out for. We’re going to see prophets and people sent into places, situations, social situations that are very messy, that the church doesn’t want to deal with. Areas that unless you have been to the lowest depths you won’t recognise or see.

THE PREPARATION SEASON IS THE SETUP

You have been in this season where God has been birthing what is inside of you and maybe you don’t understand your isolation; maybe you don’t understand why there has even been levels of rejection; maybe you don’t even know why people have been devaluing your voice. There’s been all these different elements that have been painful. God has been preparing you as a voice emerging from the wilderness to speak; to prepare the way of the Lord and to speak forth what is from his heart.

God has been preparing you where everything around you feels like it’s been cut off around you; every single relationship and tie and you’re like “God what is going on?” He’s preparing you; He’s preparing you.

There are seasons you go through and you don’t understand why you go through them. We don’t understand why they’re so painful we don’t understand why God would lead you into a situation that looks like It’s recession; it looks like it is subtraction in your life but it’s not. It’s the addition.

BIRTHED IN THE WILDERNESS TO LEAD PEOPLE OUT

God often develops and births people you in the wilderness. You think of John the Baptizer. His ministry was “a voice crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord.” He wasn’t in the synagogues, he was a voice crying in the wilderness. Jesus said of John. He said “John is the greatest of the prophets, but even you are greater than he;” because John was the ending of an era and John, as he baptized Jesus, there was a tag in the spirit as one ministry ended and another began and what happened that moment that Jesus had Holy Spirit come down upon him and say, “This is my son whom I love and I am well pleased” and Jesus then went into His wilderness.

He went into His wilderness. His ministry didn’t begin until that moment. His ministry didn’t begin until right here. He was in the wilderness going through all these thoughts and bombardment of the enemy and temptations to turn the stones into bread; and I believe we go through these wilderness seasons because God is wanting the pure voices to arise and to emerge.

Don’t let comfort and safety become the place that you die because you’re not willing to be in a place that it’s just you and the Lord; that surrender, that deep place of surrender where you feel like you’re giving up everything for Him to come and live inside of you; for Him to come and take up residence in you where you say; “it’s no longer I that live but Christ who lives in me;”

That's what the wilderness does. This is what Isaiah 43:5 prophesies to John;

“A voice cries out in the desert, clear a way for the Lord, make a straight highway in the wilderness for our God. Every valley will be raised, and every mountain and hill will be low. Deep places will be made level, rough places will be made smooth. Then the Lord’s Glory will be revealed, and all the people will see it. The Lord has spoken;”

That’s the ministry of the prophetic voices; those who are coming and emerging from the wilderness and they will emerge out of that place that they thought they would die in. They would emerge out of that place bursting with more life and more transformation, more Holy Spirit power and breakthrough than they ever thought possible. The very fragrance of their season of death will actually be the ignition of a ministry of reconciliation and resurrection life to lead others lost and in bondage OUT!

FROM ISOLATION TO FAMILY

And while God often uses the wilderness and isolation to birth prophets, ln the longterm prophets need family. There are emerging voices right now without a family and God is calling you home. God doesn’t lead you into the wilderness so that you can rebel, He uses it to activate and ignite you then He leads you back so that you can then return with an answer and with a solution and you can actually be part of a family.

It’s just so important because in this season we’re going to see the family of God unite like more than ever before. This is not a season of more disjointing and more denominationalisms. It’s to be a season of the unity of the body of Christ; because the body of Christ, more than anything else, is us getting in our own little groups “I’m a prophetic voice, I’m this and I need to separate from this person because they don’t operate like me.” No, we need to work together and it’s time that the emerging voices come out of the wilderness and so that the body of Christ can come together in obedience and family.

There are a lot of people on social media who need a place to call home. There are a lot of people on social media who maybe don’t go to church and you’ve been out on the fringe and you’ve been in a very unhealthy place where maybe you don’t even realize what you carry and so I’m speaking to you more than anybody else. I’m speaking to you right now. Yes, I’ve been there but that’s not the end of the story. I’m speaking to those who have been in the wilderness past its expiry. I’m speaking to those who have been living on the fringes. I’m speaking to the sons and daughters that have felt like they have no place in the kingdom or in the church and today God is calling you back. He’s calling you into the family of God. He’s calling you to belong, He’s calling you to be a voice, He’s calling you to resound his glory into the earth.

LOOK WHAT THE WILDERNESS DID!

I want to ask; what has the wilderness done in you? I’m going to tell you what it’s done. The wilderness cultivates intimacy. It’s just you and Him alone. There’s nothing else, it feels like death because you’re like “I’m used to calling someone up and venting but I’ve got no one” and you go through this season and you’re like I don’t know who to call and the only one on the end of the line is Jesus; the only one on the end of the line is the Father. It’s where you get to know the Father really well and you’re not depending on a spiritual father. Earthly fathers are good but a terrible and disappointing replacement for the Father. The father is saying, “The wilderness is a place where you met Me. The wilderness is a place where you begin to hear my voice like a sheep knows my voice and then you know what I sound like and then you know what to speak and then you know what to say because you’re beginning to speak forth what I’ve already spoken into your spirit and release that into the earth.”

The wilderness Is where you fight your hardest battles. This is where the warfare is the most intense; it’s where you go through the mind wars and the things that come against you like Jesus did. He came against those mind battles and those wars, but it is the place that you have victory. It is the place that you defeat the bears and the lions like David and you emerge victorious. When you meet your Goliath, it’s not even a match for you because God has already been pouring out that authority. He has already showed you who you are.

YOUR PROMOTION COMES FROM THE LORD

The wilderness season is really powerful because it is the place where you know that your promotion comes from the Lord and not by man’s hands. What happened to David? All David’s brothers, when Prophet Samuel came along and said that the next king of Israel comes from your family, your lineage and He said, “it’s none of these, is there anyone else” and they had to call forth David from the wilderness, from tending to the sheep,” what happened? It wasn’t man that promoted David, it was God and when you’ve been faithful even in that season, the promotion comes from the Lord. You don’t need to chase down doors and I believe a marker of this season and for this generation is that we’re not going to seek fame or influence. We’re not going to seek fortune we’re not going to seek networking connections and all those sorts of things.

Young ministers, you’re not going to seek out event invites in churches who are going to get you to come along. You’ll just allow God to bring those things to you. Let the promotion come from the Lord.

The marker of these people is that they do not need to look for promotion. They don’t need to be these incredible self-marketers because God does it for them. The very fruit of their life is what people are drawn to because they know that the Spirit of God is upon their life.

PURE VOICES: NOT BRANDED OR OWNED

No one can say they own you. They weren’t there in the middle of your dark night of the soul. They weren’t in that place, no they weren’t. They weren’t in that place when you needed someone to call on. No, it was only Jesus. They can’t own you, they can’t put their brand on you. They can’t put their mark on you; they can’t claim you, “this is my spiritual son, this is my spiritual daughter.” No, I’m not against that stuff but I’m telling you there’s some really bad messy stuff that comes with that that is just not good and it has caused a lot of people to be squashed and controlled instead of freed and released and I’m going to tell you something, prophetic voices do need accountability and they do need people that they can draw from and people that can speak into their lives but I tell you what’s going to shut down a prophetic voice; it’s going to be someone that tries to own you, put their brand on you saying I have made you; that straightaway will weaken the prophetic voice and unction. It will mucky and muddy the very thing that is supposed to come out forth pure.

THE PURIFICATION & THE NEW WINE

So, what else has the Lord has been doing? He has been healing and freeing you. You don’t even realize; the wilderness has been doing way more for you than you realize. It’s working for you. It’s working in your favor. It’s been doing some deep deconstruction and construction a new thing. He has been re-directing you. There’s a new wine skin; maybe the thing you walked into the wilderness with, God is taking that from you and He’s giving a whole new wine skin and then He’s been filling you up with the new wine of His presence and you come out of the wilderness gushing forth with that new wine and people go, “I’ve not heard that before. Why does that just sound like life to me? Why is that just like refreshing water to my soul?” That’s why because it’s the new wine. It’s fresh. It’s new, it’s not tainted.

HE HAS BEEN DEVELOPING YOUR UNIQUE SOUND

Wow, I love that next thing God is doing in honing your instrument or unique expression. I’ve been saying this a lot but there is about to become and it’s already happening, the emerging of such crazy, out there expressions of God’s kingdom that is going to absolutely just bless the world but it’s going to be different from what we expect. The package is going to be very different from what we expect. It’s almost like we have seen that well this is what the kingdom is, and this is what we can release and it’s this tiny, there’s this tiny area here. Prophet looks like this, an evangelist looks like this, but I’m telling you right now, the emerging voices that are coming from the wilderness in this season; they have such a new vocabulary that they carry. There is such a new way and method that they operate in and unless you tapped into the spirit, you will write off who they are and what they carry. God is wanting to hone that expression that is inside of you He’s wanting you to own it. He’s wanting you to pick up the very thing that is in your hand that God has given you.

“Why would you use a sling, when you can use sword? here is the armor you need” But David said “I can’t do it with that, that’s old, that’s what I used to do it with before this season. I can’t do that anymore. I need my sling.” Now that looks stupid and we’re going to look at that sling and go, “you know, that’s stupid. Why would that person do that” but it is the new sound that God is bringing, that He’s carrying throughout the earth and as that sling, it is a new sound that is released and if you listen to the spirit you’ll tap into that place and you’ll value it.

STORIES FROM THE WILDERNESS ARE ABOUT TO BE WRITTEN

God told me to prophesy “Stories from the wilderness are about to be written in this season. You’re going to come out with a song” and the Lord says “there are going to be even stories and there are going to be books that are going to be written. There are stories that are going to be written from the wilderness.” If you felt that in your spirit just then, this might not be for everybody, but this is just for a few people. If you felt like “my story needs to be written and it’s going to empower a lot of people,” I want to pray for you right now. I feel like the Lord is saying your story is about to be written and the Lord said, “There are storytellers that are rising up in this season. There are storytellers rising”

So release that story, release that story, release that story. I just felt someone was saying “but it’s too dark, it’s too painful God, it’s too deep. I don’t want to relive that.”

The lord says “You’re not going to relive it. You’re going to see My victory. You’re going to see My power and My redemption and My Glory.”

If you’ve been through that season, if you’ve been through the wilderness, if you’ve been through the deep dark valley of the shadow of death but you came out on the other side and maybe you still don’t feel whole, but God speaks over you; “You are whole, and your voice needs to be heard in this season.”

I just break off every single lie, every single condemnation of the enemy, every voice that has tried to stunt you oppress you, hold you, control you, limit you, edit you, be broken in the name of Jesus! On behalf of leaders and people that never saw what was in you, I’m sorry. On behalf of parents, family members and friends that tried to tell you “shut up, you’re crazy.” I’m sorry; just release forgiveness to them even right now because you’re going to emerge. You’re going to emerge.

It’s a new day, you’re going to brush it off. You can’t let your story stay in that place where you were hurt. Prophets, you can’t stay there, you can’t be broken orphaned prophets anymore. Okay it was your story and let it be the part of your story that sets people free, not lead people into the wilderness, into brokenness. Let it be the part of your story that makes people realize “wow, that’s where I’m at but I’m going to get free because they did it.” Let it, let it go.

God, I thank you. I thank you for the stories that will be written for those who are feeling the anointing that is been released even right now to write their stories, to write what you’ve given them God, that in this season you’re telling people, “pick up your pens, begin to release what I give you, the revelation I give you, it’s time;” but you’re like, “but who will listen to me?” God says, “This is the hour. I want you to piece it together; I want you to begin to learn what it is again to steward my voice. I want you to speak.

WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW?

Maybe you’re on here and you’re a prophetic voice and maybe you read the words I write or other prophetic voices and you’re like, “I hear the same thing;” good! The same Holy Spirit is speaking to you; but now it’s time for you to release it. I’m not telling you to go create an online ministry; am just telling you to begin to steward the word of the Lord. Begin to steward what He’s saying to you. Go and encourage a neighbor. Go and release the word of God over people.

Thank you Jesus that we are emerging out of that place God, that the preparation season that many have been through is over and God you’re leading them into a place of being able to be solutionists and architects of the word that you want to see. We say thank you, we say thank you, we say thank you.

Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!

While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
