“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.” —Psalm 42:7 As I was praying before the gathering, I kept hearing the words, “Deep calls unto deep.” Then I heard it again, “Deeper still.” I sensed the Lord was stirring a fresh hunger in His people. A call to the ones who’ve longed for more. A beckoning to come deeper into the waters of encounter and intimacy where few are willing to go. Then I was taken into a vision. I saw a great wave forming, and behind it, hundreds of people were positioned, waiting for the right moment to move. In my spirit I felt it, “The wave is coming.” the wave of awakening IS FORMING There is a mighty outpouring prepared to crash upon the shores of the earth. A prophesied move of God’s Spirit that will awaken the nations. This is the wave that is swelling in the distance. Then, I heard the voice of the Lord thunder, “Where are My wave-riders?” “Where are the ones who will leave the shore and come out into the deep? Where are the ones who will forsake comfort, tradition, and control to follow My glory? Where are the ones who will chase My presence above popularity, platform, or predictable programs?” For there are many who have chosen to stay grounded, content on the shoreline, tethered to control and comfort. But I am calling the brave. I am calling the pioneers. I am calling the forerunners who were born for this moment, to ride the wave of My presence into the unknown. And yes, it may feel unsettling. You may even doubt yourself: “Can I do this? Do I have the strength? Will I get it right?” But hear Me, says the Lord, You are My wave-rider. You were born for this. Everything you’ve walked through has led you to this moment. You were not created to sit in the shallows, you were made for the depths. You will ride the wave of My presence, and in doing so, you will model something sacred to a generation who has forgotten what My presence feels like. As you ride, others will see. They will remember. And they too will venture out into the deep. For the days of intellectual Christianity are over. The days of knowing about Me are giving way to those who will truly know Me. And you can only know Me in the deep. You can only know Me in the wild places where control must be surrendered. But there, I will meet you. And there, you will find that though it feels uncomfortable, you are not alone. You have the Comforter. I am leading you into deeper waters. Back to first love. Back to the place of holy encounter. I am leading you out of worldly lovers and calling you back to Myself. For I am calling forth My wave-riders in this hour. But if you are not yielded, you will miss the moment. If you are not dead to the old thing, you will hesitate when the wave rises. Where are those who are fully surrendered? I am searching the earth for a people who will lay down their lives again, Not out of duty, but desire. A people who long for the marriage of eternity. Who will be betrothed to Me again? Who will divorce the world and its empty promises? Who will lose their lives to find them in Me? Who will rise from under the yokes of religion and culture and be Mine again? Who will consecrate themselves afresh? For the orphans shall become sons and daughters. And the sons and daughters shall become mothers and fathers, Releasing the cry of adoption over the land. Tonight, I am marking My wave-riders. Branding them with fire. Setting them apart in the deep. Step into the new rhythm. Step into My rest. There is a fresh flow. Leave the stagnant waters behind. The old flow will not sustain you for where I’m taking you. Then the Lord spoke again; “The Church has lost her rings.” She has forgotten her covenant with Me. But I am restoring the marriage. California is being married again. America is being remarried. The nations are being called back into covenant. This is a marriage moment. A moment of divine consecration. But it runs deeper than before. For I am looking for My lovers. “And I will betroth you to Me forever. I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, In steadfast love and mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord.” — Hosea 2:19 “Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, For the marriage of the Lamb has come, And His Bride has made herself ready.” — Revelation 19:7 The wedding song has gone out. The flute is playing once again. The days of the dirge are over. The funeral song has ended. A new day has dawned I am inviting you to the marriage feast. Who will respond? Who will come? Who will leave their other lovers behind? Then I heard it loud and clear - “OVERFLOW.” As you lean into what feels uncomfortable, As you step into the unknown, You will find My wave crashing into every dry and broken place in your life. You will feel the surge of My Spirit again. And the Lord says: As you lean into My presence, I will do what you cannot do. I will restore what you cannot fix. I will bring you out of depletion and back into overflow. You were born for this wave. Now ride it.

I walked outside to prophesy into the voice recorder on my phone and the scripture that came out of my mouth was from Isaiah 10:29: “They go over the pass and say, ‘We will camp overnight at Geba.’ Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.” As soon as I said those words, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake began to shake Southern California from a place called Julian, California. I believe what I am about to share is a now word for the body of Christ for the crossover specialists, those being called to transition into a new era in the midst of much shaking in both the Church and the world. The shaking is the sign that we’re crossing A few days ago, someone asked me, “How do we cross into the new when many people are unwilling or unable to go with us?” My response was: We need to lead them gently, with tact and honor, but also with urgency, knowing the time is now. But also knowing that it is God that leads us, and uses shaking to disrupt comforts and systems that are no longer aligned with His Spirit. He breaks our reliance on man-made methods and outdated identities. He exposes what no longer works. He leads us to new shores. But for this word, I want to highlight something specific that we are moving out of... We are leaving the fight-or-flight mindset. We are leaving bondage. We are leaving constant warfare awareness. Isaiah 10:27 says: “In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.” This passage is about Israel in bondage. God was calling a remnant to rise up and cross over into freedom and deliverance. This wasn’t just a physical relocation, it was deliverance from oppression. When God led Israel out of Egypt, it wasn’t just about a new destination. It was about being set free from slavery. When Joshua led the people into the Promised Land, it was about leaving the wilderness behind. And it’s happening again right now in our generation. When God calls us to cross over, it always exposes what we’ve tolerated: dysfunction, disobedience, demonic ideologies, addictions, oppression, and bondage. In the Church today, we see it loud and clear. We’ve tolerated selfish empires, the Ahab spirit, the Jezebel spirit, and the spirit of religion just to name a few. These forces have kept the body yoked to structures that no longer carry the wine. It’s like being at the wedding in Cana—the wine has run out but we’re still worshiping the empty jars that contained it. All the while Jesus is present, ready to pour out the new wine, but many are too loyal to the old to receive it. This is what the Jezebel spirit, the unhusbanded spirit, does in tandem with religious control. It keeps us bound to what once held glory but no longer does. Right now, God is confronting these areas. He is exposing what we’ve worshiped, what we’ve allowed, what we’ve built outside of Him. So this word is for the crossover specialist...those who are feeling the friction and pressure of transition and are not only crossing over personally but feel called to be the bridge over for others. Let me speak to you personally: You are crossing out of dysfunction. That’s why everything feels stirred up. God is surfacing areas of compromise in your own life, showing you places where you’ve created Ishmaels or pursued Jonah callings. He’s doing it in you, and through you, and He’s doing it in the Church. That’s why there’s so much shaking. That’s why so much is being revealed. Thats why people are desperate and broken, because God is exposing the snake. And yes, He wants to deliver you, but He also wants to shift you into the purpose behind it. Here’s what we’re crossing out of: Constant defense mode. You’re not meant to spend your whole life just surviving warfare. Yes, Nehemiah had to defend the wall for a time but if he had stayed in fight mode, he would never have finished building it. We are moving from reaction to construction. And God wants you to thrive. He wants you to enjoy the joy and wonder of what you’re called to do. When the old wine runs out, and we refuse to crossover, we lean on our flesh and begin to run on fumes. But when we crossover into the Spirit, we move in His strength, His flow, and His freedom. So how do we cross into this season effectively? Look at Isaiah 10:29 again. Geba and Ramah both mean high place. The key is the secret place, the high place with God. When the shaking comes, hide in Him. When things are unstable, cling to Him. It is in the secret place that He will heal, deliver, restore...this is where you will move across the chasm into promise. And from that place, you will also lead others. But as I end this word I feel to boldly declare something in alignment with the shaking and Isaiah 10:29; The high places of this world are shaking. Principalities are being evicted and displaced. As David crossed the threshold in the valley of Elah and confronted Goliath, he lost his ground. It came into the hands of Gods people and the battle was over. What if this crossover is more about kingdom conquest than we realize? What if God was leading us out of more strongholds and yokes personally and globally than we can see right now? California is shaking because it’s a declaration that the birth pangs are upon us and that the land is ripening. And the specialists for the hour are rising. Could it be you? I pray so...

I had a chilling dream last night. In the dream, I was invited to a friend’s house. This friend, to me, represents someone who has been through deep spiritual abuse, someone constantly carrying that weight to the point where it now shows outwardly. This friend has a heart to serve God, is anointed, prophetic, and marked by the fingerprint of God. What the Lord has done in and through them is magnificent. And yet, the spirit of religion has always tried to bind them, tried to weigh them down, use them, and abuse them. In the dream, I was walking through what they said was their house. But it was cluttered, filled with photos, emblems, and items from different movements, events, eras, and seasons of their life. They led me on a tour, excitedly pointing out all the amazing things God had done. They spoke with joy, telling me about the different assignments they were part of, the things they were blessed to do, and what they laid down for Jesus. But beneath the surface of joy, I began to feel something trembling, something painful. Each memory, though it reflected serving God, carried layers of spiritual abuse, gaslighting, narcissism, and a deep sense of being put down, alienated, and isolated. I could feel it. The pain ran deep. The trauma had never been healed. The heart was never delivered. Suddenly I yelled out; “This is a museum of Christian hurt!” They looked back at me. “What did you say?” I repeated it: “This is a museum of Christian hurt. And it needs to be cleaned out!” They stared at me, shocked. And then they broke down. “Yes…yes, it is hurt.” I asked, “Why have you been ignoring it?” They replied, “Because we don’t want to dishonor. Because we don’t want to cast a stone. We don’t want to feel like all of it was in vain.” I said, “It wasn’t in vain. God called you. But man tried to mess it up. You’ve been carrying many seasons of hurt, and the Lord wants to clear it all out.” Then I heard myself say, “It’s time for the hoarding to stop. It’s time for the Lord to clear out the past seasons, redeem them, and start a new chapter in your life.” My friend fell to the floor, and cried, “Jesus, I surrender. I give you my past.” Instantly, things began to disappear off the walls. Light began to break through. And then I woke up. I believe this dream is speaking to many right now. There are believers, especially forerunners who have been carrying trauma, pain, and “Christian hurt.” They’re walking through and living inside a museum of shrines to the past. Yes, God moved. Yes, those seasons were sacred. But the pain wasn’t dealt with. And now, they’re depleted, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and even physically because of all the soul clutter they’ve been carrying. God is trying to start something new, but they’re stuck in what was. The Lord is inviting them to let go, to clean house, and to be made whole. As I share this, I feel it so strongly, this is especially for God’s forerunners. The enemy has tried to take them out through religious service, twisting what was good into something that robbed them of life. But if this is you, hear the Lord saying today: Lay it all down at My feet. Give Me your museum of hurt, and I will turn it into a sanctuary for My glory. My glory will shine through your pain. The suffering you’ve endured will now become the testimony of My goodness.” Romans 8:18 “For I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” I prophesy this over you today - You are shifting from trauma and pain back into wonder. The places in your life and heart that have endured heartache and abuse, God is turning them around in this hour. He is healing you. He is making you whole. And He will use you to bring healing and wholeness to others who have been through what you’ve been through in the name of Jesus!

Ten years ago I felt the pull of the Holy Spirit to step out and share the language I was hearing in my spirit. This language ruffled feathers and created problems for me with people I knew because it seemed like I was against the church when I wasn’t. Think of those who were in the upper room in Acts 2 — “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” — Acts 2:4 When the Holy Spirit gets a hold of you, it bubbles forth and you can’t speak anything else! So in the same way, I could just see what was ahead and decided to die on that mountain to be obedient to God. It cost me greatly but then after many years the fruit spoke. Pioneering is exactly that: Clearing the way so others can walk through. Reading the newspaper of heaven so others can get a heads up of what God is doing. And while many resonate, there are many that don’t want their kingdoms to become redundant as God does something new. I get it. But we have to pivot and surrender constantly. And right now there is a new language being spoken mainly by the misfits who for years now haven’t fit into the old mold. It’s the language of the Kingdom of heaven. The clarion call of the Fathers house assembling His ecclesia. But this language takes the blanket off the shivering frail frame of religion and reveals the nakedness of a dying era. It exposes the expiry of the old wine drying out in the sun. And reveals the old cloth ripping away from the mantles in tatters many used to wear... But more than all of that, it carves a path through the wilderness dead end signs many have constructed and gives way to the beginning of a new highway many will soon walk on. It’s just unpopular at first. It doesn’t fit into the consumeristic mindset many want. Give me this. Feed me that. Rub my back and massage my feet type of christianity... No, it stands people to their feet. Puts a baton in their hands and tells them to run. It’s the language of the fresh wind and the personal outpouring that revives the dead and apathetic to their post. So it doesn’t attract those looking for chocolate milk and a cookie. But for the hungry, it’s a lifeline. But I feel that right now many are hearing the new language but aren’t sure what to do because it feels so foreign to the mainstream Christian language. “What if they get upset at what I am saying? What if I am perceived as a rebel? What if I lose my friends over it?” So many of you are on the fence wrestling this bubbling forth and trying to figure out what to do with it but there is only one thing you can do— LET IT OUT! So for those feeling the language rising right now, SPEAK IT! LEAD! PIONEER! You may have some resistance but you are breaking shackles and clearing the way. It’s language that breaks the bone and then realigns it. It’s the heart of the Father in a time many are feeling lost, so own it!! And the fruit will speak for itself in the years to come.

I have a little story to tell you… I was the shy girl at school. I had my small group of friends that I could be myself with, but beyond them, I barely talked to anyone. I was not (and still am not) the outgoing type. I’m your classic introvert 😂 I never wanted a stage (and still don’t 😅) and if you had told me that God would call me one day to speak and write for Him, I probably would have crumbled into a thousand pieces on the floor. I LOATHED public speaking… loathed it, despised it, hated it, wanted to run a million miles from it. I couldn’t even handle small groups, where one at a time, you go around the circle and share something about yourself. My stomach would be in knots as it led up to my turn. I share this to tell you… God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. He qualifies you, little bit by little bit as you step out in obedience to Him. Some of you have written yourselves off… you’ve crossed your name off the calling God has appointed to you because you don’t feel qualified for it. You’ve told yourself, “that’s not my personality.” Listen, it’s not mine either 🤣 But, one thing I can tell you is that whatever it is you are called to, God Himself will be with you each step of the way. If we didn’t require complete dependence on Him, it would be in our own strength and we would receive the glory. Yet, when we follow His leading, and depend entirely upon Him - He’s the One that gets all the glory. There is just no way I could have taken each step without Him. I’m here to tell you today, daughter, take that first step He has been leading you to take. Lean into His strength as you do, and I promise, He will show up. He always does. Stop writing yourself out of the calling upon your life. You have something unique that no one else has… give him the fear, the uncertainties, the unknowns, and take that one small step. He is with you. 💕 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” — 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

By Christy Johnston I recently had a dream where I saw my family and I sitting around a campfire. We had been singing worship songs together, when suddenly, a bear approached our campground and walked closer into our circle. We all froze for a moment, so as not to agitate the bear, but it became clear, she was already agitated. I knew in the dream, it was a female bear, and she proceeded to get closer and closer to my family until she was sniffing the toes of my children. She began hissing and growling loudly, and with a nasty snarl baring her teeth, I knew she was about to bite down into my youngest daughters’ feet. I swiftly moved to stand in-between my daughter and the bear and it was when she was face to face with me that I instinctively knew in the dream, ‘this bear understands words’. She reacted with fierce aggression when I stood in-between her and my daughter, and it was then that I shouted to her, “you MUST leave our grounds in the Name of Jesus.” She shook her head and then stood up on her hind feet, towering above me, as she replied, “I don’t want to leave.” Again, I told her with authority, “you have no choice, you MUST leave, and you must leave NOW!” Again, she growled, and at that moment, the fire we were gathered around released a spark of embers, that blew directly into her face… shocking her and causing her to come back down to her all fours, as she reluctantly walked away, grunting as she went. Most bears in dreams represent powerful and territorial principalities, and interestingly, bears represent principalities that target the vulnerable. I believe this dream was speaking into the presiding demonic authorities of this age that have been targeting children, the family unit and of course, God’s daughters. The fact this was a female bear, represents the counterfeit spirit that has come against the woman – and seeks to destroy her fire. I have to interject here for a moment and highlight this profound connection… a number of years ago, I had a dream where the sea-witch Ursula, from the movie, ‘the Little Mermaid’ was attempting to take away my voice. Ursula’s name means, “she-bear.” Ariel’s was the voice that Ursula was possessed with jealousy to steal… and amazingly, Ariel means, “lioness of God.” The she-bear in my recent dream, points once again to these demon-principality that is possessed with jealousy to steal the voices of God's lioness daughters. It was my voice in the dream followed by the fire of the Lord that brought her low and into submission. It was my authority under the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, that sent her away. I believe the Lord is wanting to remind His daughters in this hour – your voice MATTERS! Your voice is like a watchman over your family, your voice SHIFTS and DISMANTLES the powers of darkness. Your voice is a guard that releases angelic protection to set aflame the powers of darkness. Daughter, if you’ve been experiencing disillusionment, disheartenment, intimidation or frustration, know this… it’s because the bear is trying to silence you and take your ground. It’s time to remind her, the Lion is prowling…. And allow Him to roar through you. Send her running! From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

I believe the coming months of March, April and May are going to mark a season of divine and supernatural UPGRADE. This theme has been grabbing my attention almost everywhere in recent days and as I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal more, I heard Him say there is first UPGRADE available for divine strategies, visions and navigation, which will then be followed by UPGRADES in financial provisions to make room for the vision. FOLLOW TRUE NORTH. I saw a vision of a person standing at a crossroad, but it was not your typical crossroad with just one or two choices in front of them, but there were multiple pathways stretching out before them like a vein and the person was standing at the cross-point confused and somewhat disorientated. I heard them saying, “I know I am meant to go forward, but which way God? What direction do I go in?” And for a while, they just stood and waited until finally they got down on their knees and looked up and began to pray. Right at the very moment they looked heavenward, I watched as a gold compass was released from heaven, and on the compass was engraved, ‘Follow True North.’ This person grabbed hold of the compass and immediately followed the instructions and began manoeuvring it to find the direction of north. As the arrow settled and landed on true north, it revealed an illuminated pathway before them and they were able to confidently walk ahead. The pathway that the person in this vision followed turned into a mighty rushing river, lined with mines filled with gold. AT THE CROSSROADS. I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing that many of His children are feeling the tension of standing at a crossroads right now, a crossroad with multiple pathways and choices and it seems overwhelming and daunting. Many have felt lost or even abandoned and I believe many others are standing at this place where they are about to take an enormous risk and leap of faith and are needing divine guidance as to which pathway to walk upon. If any of these resonate with you, I believe that as you keep your eyes fixed on Him in a place of surrender, He will release the compass of your true north. For He is YOUR true north. The compass is representative of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and as you remain in a position of hearing His voice, He will reveal the navigation that will guide you into the DIVINE UPGRADE. ‘I hear the Lord Saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!” I had to laugh at the humour of God in the past few days as He has continued to place little (or BIG) signs in front of my own path to confirm this word as I have been going about my day to day. The first was a literal sign as I was entering a shopping centre and on a giant billboard out front was a picture of a car advertisement, with the title, ‘COMPASS! FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH!’ The second was seeing yet another giant billboard on the freeway, entitled, ‘UPGRADE NOW!’ And thirdly, as I was cleaning a room this afternoon, I watched through the windows as the exact car in the compass advertisement drove slowly past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW!’ I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I want to highlight the prophetic symbolism here, a car represents a ministry, a ministry gift, the Church, a business, or a family. It is also prophetic of the supernatural ability for God to take you further than you could walk in your own strength. So when I saw the compass car drive past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW’, I immediately knew it was the Holy Spirit once more confirming that He is releasing HIS compass to ministries, ministry gifts, churches, business, individuals and families for the path set before them and as they followed His leading, it would open up rivers of revelation and revitalization, surrounded by the resources needed to fulfil the vision God has given. KEYS FOR NAVIGATING NEW ROADS Of course I had to do a little more research on this car and found the prophetic stamp of God speaking all over their website. Who knew God would speak through a car advertisement, right? For the record, please see this through the eyes and ears of prophecy and not a car advertisement. I wanted to highlight a couple of titles that jumped out to me and explain why I believe they are keys for this UPGRADE season we are walking into. Arrive Inspired. You are not designed to wear out and wear thin on the journey, as you stay true to your true north and remain in connection with God, He will revitalize you so that you will have the ability to fulfil the vision at the destination, and not be burnt out and exhausted by the time you get there. Nurture your true nature. Your true nature is a child of God, created to be in constant communication and connection with your heavenly Father, as you nurture your relationship with Him, you protect not only yourself, but the vision. Secure advantages for wise travellers. The wise travellers are the ones who keep the compass (the word of God) with them, in their hearts and ears at all times. It keeps them secure and on the right path. Make room in your world. Don’t get lost in the vision, don’t let the vision itself become your number one priority and focus, ensure you keep God as your number one focus, as you make room for Him in everything – the upgrades will flow. I strongly believe this is a promise for many right now, for those who have lost their way or struggling to know what decision to make for the road ahead, the Holy Spirit is saying, as you align and position your heart to hear His voice in the day to day, He will illuminate the path ahead. There is DIVINE UPGRADE for those who are leaning into the navigation system of heaven right now, are you listening?
