I believe we are entering the era of the rebirth of the church after being in painful labor for many years and a year of contractions. Recently, the Lord gave me two dreams that tied together and painted a picture of what He is doing right now. THE SNAKE IN THE PIPE In the first dream, I saw a large pipe, almost like a garden hose, and people standing around it saying, “Something is stuck in the pipe.” As I looked closer, I saw the tail of a snake clogging up the pipe. I knew we had to get the snake out so the water could flow freely...so we gathered around the pipe and shook it violently. For what felt like forever, nothing happened. The snake wouldn’t budge. Then, suddenly, it started to come out, and as it attempted to get away the Lord crushed it and cut it in many pieces. This dream represents the church and the flow of the Spirit. For the snake to be dislodged, we had to get uncomfortable and not only allow the shaking but PARTNER with it. We had to stop tolerating what had been clogging up the Spirit’s flow and desperately want the flow more than being comfortable or ignoring the problem. This is what the Lord is doing in the church right now. He’s removing every blockage, every contaminant, and every area of complacency. He’s exposing and dealing with the demonic influences we’ve allowed and getting us uncomfortable and craving freedom so badly we will partner with His delivering work. The Lord is saying to us that we cannot move forward with a clogged pipe. We cannot extend the borders of His kingdom until every contaminant is removed. Where we’re going, the river of the Lord has to flow freely once again. The snake represents the serpent in the garden, the one who lied to Adam and Eve and led them away from the Tree of Life. That same serpent has lied to the church, leading us into reliance on our own understanding, our own methods, and even our own version of the gospel. It’s made us weak and powerless as we suffer under the false covering of another gospel and serving a counterfeit saviour. But the Lord is dealing with the snake again. He’s clearing out every lie, every hindrance, and everything that’s been blocking the flow of His Spirit. THE WOMAN IN DELIVERY In the second dream, I saw a woman on a birthing table, giving birth to what I knew in the dream was the church. This was a rebirth. But here’s the strangest part: under her foot, I saw the head of a snake crushed. It immediately reminded me of the scripture that says; “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15 The Lord is saying that the church is in a season of refining for rebirth. We are entering a fresh flow of the Spirit, a move of God unlike anything we’ve seen before. But in this rebirth we are being awakened to WHO WE ARE & WHOSE WE ARE. We are in days where we will no longer tolerate the snake but we will crush him underfoot. This is a season of great victory and authority. We will see the finished work of Jesus come to life in the church, and we’ll rise up in purity, power, and dominion as Gods conduits in a time of history where true disciples are needed more than ever before. BACK TO SIMPLICITY We are stepping back into the simplicity of the gospel. The church is returning to the days of Acts, where signs, wonders, and miracles follow those who believe. We’re moving away from man-made methods, celebrity Christianity, and empty religion, and following the Holy Spirit wherever He leads. We’re about to see the greatest move of God the world has ever known. The harvest is coming, and God is raising up builders who will prepare for it. As the pipe is unclogged, there will be a hunger from the world for what God is pouring out. People will come running from the darkest places just to get a taste of the waters that flow out. THIS IS ALSO YOUR REBIRTH But this isn’t just a corporate word, it’s also personal. Where has the enemy been clogging up the flow of the Spirit in your life? Has he been lying to you? Surrounding you with fear, hopelessness, or constant battles that make you feel stuck? The Lord is exposing the snake in your life, too. He’s pulling it out of every place where it has been coiled around your joy, your freedom, and your peace. That snake that’s been trying to suffocate you is being removed. The delays, the heartbreak, the hope deferred, that have created strongholds and have made your heart sick are being broken. The Lord is uncoiling every bit of it. He’s unclogging the pipe and removing every remnant of the enemies assignments from your life. This is your season of rebirth. And today the Lord is saying, “In this rebirth watch as I’m redoing what you thought passed you by. I’m reshaping you, reviving you, and breathing fresh life into you.” Where you’ve felt stuck, you’re about to move forward. Where you’ve felt powerless, you’re about to rise up in authority. This next season will not only be one of rebirth but also one where you crush the serpent under your heel and begin to take back the ground that has been robbed from you in the last 4 -7 years. THE BRIDE IS RISING The body of Christ is stepping into the authority and simplicity of what God always intended. We’re coming back to the Acts 2 days, a place of joy, power, and the purity of the gospel. The Lord is lifting the weight off your shoulders and leading you into His presence again where there is FULLNESS OF JOY. Let Him free you. Let Him refresh and renew you. Let Him begin the rebirth in your life. And I see it. I see the waters crashing upon the shores and the church are running towards it. Many who are thirsty are quenching their thirst. Many who have been sick like naaman are running into the waters for healing. The flow is increasing and the church are running towards it again. A WORD FOR USA & AUSTRALIA As I wrote this, I began to see the nation of America. I saw midwives standing idly by. The Lord says, “America is entering a great rebirth, but I am dealing with the idle midwives—the ones who have been veiled by the serpent and silent in this hour.” He is raising up a remnant—a warrior bride—who will carry the cry of His Spirit. These midwives will partner with Him in the Spirit to bring the nation to full term. Then I saw the nation of Australia, and I heard the Lord say, “Woe to the hidden snakes.” These are leaders who claim to be for God but are building their own empires. The Lord says, “Australia will go through a shaking to reveal what has been hidden. I will rustle the snakes out of the cornfield and expose them in the light of day. This shaking will ignite a fire of revival and purity in My church. I am calling the watchmen and midwives of Australia to rise up. The destiny of Australia is tied to the destiny of America.” The Lord is saying to both nations, “The midwives must rise. As they rise, I will turn back the evil that has crept in. The rebirth is coming.” Let’s partner with what God is doing. The snake is being removed. The flow of the Spirit is being restored. The church is being reborn. This is the hour to rise up and step into the authority He’s given us.

Next year is going to be an Acts 2 Year because we’re going back to simplicity. We’re leaving behind the hustle and bustle of institutions and empires for the basics once again. We’re choosing the humble over the proud and lofty. We’re choosing the private over the public stage. We’re choosing connection over club mentality or even shallow community. We’re choosing fellowship over programs. We’re choosing true worship over performance. We’re choosing the nameless and faceless over celebrity Christianity. And we’re choosing the pure over the convoluted and tainted. This is going to be an Acts 2 year because God is rebuilding our definition of the church, and He’s rebuilding us in the process. We’re coming back to the true foundations of the church again. We’re coming back to the simplicity and power of the fivefold, where people are built up into who God has called them to be. We’re going to see the breakdown of man’s hierarchies and systems. We’re coming back to the simple foundation of people gathering not around a man, but around Jesus and the finished work of the cross. We’re coming back to signs, wonders, and miracles again. We’re coming back to daily salvations and the pursuit of souls instead of preaching to the choir. We’re coming back to baptisms and lives being transformed, rescued from darkness and addiction. We’re coming back to being the hospital church again, instead of a museum or a palace. We’re coming back to what looks small and insignificant but carries immense weight in the spirit. We’re coming back to experiencing His face and His glory once again, instead of simply coming to a service to hear a cool cliché quote to take home. We’re leaving behind the goosebumps of man’s religion and trading them for true encounters and visitations with God. So, this next year, watch as God leads you in a new direction. Watch as your appetites begin to change. Watch as the Lord leads you away from systems and places that look good on the outside but have brought you into bondage. For many, this will mean breaking away from what you’ve been part of for years. It may mean relocation. Shifting. Migrating. It may mean leaving behind compromises, false coverings, and shallow accountability in communities that resemble but are far from the Acts 2 church God has destined for you. It will mean stepping out of isolation to find the people God has for you. It will mean leaving behind dead works and performance to discover the fire of His Spirit and a fresh baptism that overhauls your life. And it will mean closing the door on Act 1 so that we, as the church, can step into Acts 2—a season of power and baptism in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to walk in the fullness of everything Jesus made available to us at the cross. It’s going to be a year of departing from the flesh and man’s pursuit of building Babel and stepping into a year of building what looks simple but reaps eternal fruit. It’s going to transform your family, marriages, and every area of your life as you realign with God’s purpose and His original blueprint for the church. Watch, friends, as we leave behind decades, even centuries, of dysfunction and as the Lord begins to build His house. This is why you have felt the discontent in the last few years that has grown inside you. It’s the desire to go back to the original plan. It’s the longing for true connection with God and His people. And build something pure and not of man’s hands. If this is you, pray this dangerous prayer with me “Lord do Acts 2 in my life in 2025 onwards in Jesus name! And lead me to my Acts 2 people!” “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” Acts 2:42-47 

(REPOST FROM DEC. 2020 - PROPHETIC WORD FOR NOW) Towards the end of November, I had a significant dream where God spoke to me about the power of the posture of rest as we crossover into 2021. I had been asking God for specifics regarding many areas of our own family life, ministry, and dreams and was needing some clarity. At the time we were finishing up a very busy and fruitful year in our ministry school, finalizing writing for future projects, and preparing for our baby that is due early January. I felt like I needed practical strategies to navigate some areas of life and I needed some pieces to drop to be able to know how to move forward in the new year. Have you felt this way? I want to share what God spoke to me regarding rest in this dream so that you crossover into 2021 refreshed, full of vision and purpose, decluttered, and knowing where you are going in Jesus' name! OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL & OUT OF THE DRIVER SEAT “Enter my rest, enter my rest, you need to enter my rest!” I heard audibly as I slept and I knew this was not just an order but a warning from the Lord and a powerful strategy to escape the burnout, disillusion, and panic that can set in when you are walking through a season of conflict like this year has been. His words felt like a cool drink on a hot day. So many have been on the hamster wheel of life in 2020, running, running, running, and treading water just to stay afloat because of the many changes and curveballs that have come, but now God is saying to you that it is time to surrender that place to Him. Finish the year out of the driver seat and giving Him permission to end it well. Do you trust Him to do that? Can you move out of your strength and put your trust in His? What areas of your life are you still trying to hold onto the wheel? Let go and let Him do what only He can do. Key: Hand him the keys to your vehicle, ministry, purpose, and life, especially the areas you have been trying to push and strive in. MIRACLE WORKING POWER WHERE YOUR STRENGTH HAS FAILED “This is where I MOVE IN POWER as they rest!” I heard the Lord say. “If you lean into my rest I WILL DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO! So enter my rest and let ME MOVE, let ME ORCHESTRATE, and let me DELIVER!” Is what the Lord continued to say. God wants to take over where you have been burning out trying to make ends meet and hoping to see that breakthrough, that miracle come to pass, and that promise manifested. This is where you rest and as you do you will see HIS power take over and BREAK THROUGH for you! Key: Rest in His miracle-working power where it feels like you are in the 11th hour. Will He not do it? THE TRANSITION INTO REST & THE CHANGE OF THE GUARD “It's the transitioning into rest and the changing of the guard” He continued to say, but it wasn’t an order of inaction or decommissioning but an order to change posture. In the same way that if you are swimming a long distance you change up your swimming style to preserve your strength God is saying “TRANSITION into rest” meaning “Change your stance!” In Hebrews 4:11 the rest spoken of had to be an intentional decision or move that resulted in God working where man's ways didn’t. The changing of the guard spoke to me of an army that was changing its position and right now I believe that God is calling the army of God to shift its formation. We will not be moved from our post, but now we turn, we set our sail. Like Nehemiah’s men, we continue to hold up our swords but we bow our heads. Now watch what He does as we shift. Key: Ask God what slight adjustments you can make to posture yourself in rest to receive and be refreshed? What areas of your life are unnecessarily wearing you down? REST WILL REVEAL WHERE YOU ARE SPREAD THIN & CREATE “CAPACITY” FOR THE UNEXPECTED This is what He spoke to me about next. Capacity. He said that heading into 2021 that He was looking for people that weren’t already too busy or had their hands too full because there were going to be UNEXPECTED opportunities and assignments that He would be giving. Posturing in rest was the key that would reveal areas where God was wanting to untangle you from, commitments you shouldn’t be involved in, and open up your schedule for new possibilities He had waiting for you as you crossed over. Key: Allow God to show you what carries His glory on it and what is just taking up space in your life. What are you doing that is good that isn’t God? He will show you. REFRESHING TO THE BURNT OUT AND FATIGUED & THE RE-IGNITION OF DREAMS Then He said “You can’t do this in survival mode. You can’t do this fighting for air, fighting for scraps, and scrambling to make ends meet” I knew that He was speaking to the subtle and seductive mentality of survival that is birthed from a traumatic year of hearing endless news stories and constant fear-mongering, and it has driven so many to the brink of burnout and fatigue. But as you rest God is breaking both the survival mentality and the fatigue that comes with it. He wants you to step out of the place of fear and begging for bread and back into faith so you can DREAM with Him as you crossover. Key: Ask him to break off the fatigue and reignite your creativity, innovation, and passion. HAND IN YOUR OLD JACKETS & I WILL BREAK THE HEAVY YOKES “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 “Watch me break your heavy yokes! Watch me shatter the mantles of madness that have tried to settle! For I am mantling you afresh in the rest! Hand me your old jackets and rags and let me replace them!” This year the enemy has tried to put his yokes of heaviness and hysteria upon believers causing them to chase after the wind and go on a wild goose chase. These yokes are demonic and are the counterfeit of true mantles and mandates. But as you rest watch as Holy Spirit breaks every heavy yoke and mantles you with power and purpose for the season ahead. Key: Give him your old rags. Give him your heavy yokes. Ask for discernment between what are the yokes of the enemy and the easy yoke of the Lord. What causes rest and peace, and what brings burnout and heaviness? That’s your key. THE SHADOW-BOXING WILL STOP IN THE VORTEX OF REST “The shadow-boxing must stop!” I heard Him say and in the dream, I saw a picture of a whirlwind of imaginations that were swirling around people and they were wearing themselves down by trying to fight it. Close your eyes in the next few weeks every day for a moment in His presence and the 10 fights and opponents you have been shadow-boxing will suddenly disappear. Every whirlwind and storm you have been facing will stand still and you will see it for what it really is. No hype or cheap gimmicks of fear. Key: Learn the art of the secret place again. Lay there and learn to be still even when the thoughts against your mind are warring. Soon they will be silent and you will get your peace back and enter that rest. RECEIVE THE NEW WINE ORDERS FROM HEAVENS PRINT PRESS & THE NEW DOWNLOADS There is something about the posture of rest in the presence that PRODUCES. In the next few weeks, God wants to give you “new wine orders” as he told me that will be fresh off the printing press of heaven orders that have not been seen or heard yet. Generals are going to receive their new orders.. leaders are going to download the blueprints for the thing that the SPIRIT is upon. The old wineskin won’t cut it and you know it so it’s time to RECEIVE and you can’t receive unless you are postured in rest, in ENCOUNTER. This is where you lay down like Jacob at Bethel and have the dream and lay down like Samuel and get your orders and the download that will shift the course of your family, your city, and nation. Key: Fight the temptation to be busy and realize that without the fresh download you are stuck. You need the fresh thing so rest to receive it. MISSING PIECES ARE GOING TO DROP & DOTS WILL CONNECT It’s a “strengthen yourself in the Lord” moment where God takes your faithfulness to stand and multiplies it and opens the way for the ANSWER to reveal itself, the missing pieces to drop, and the needed direction to appear. There are significant COMPONENTS & TOOLS that many need right now leading into 2021 to solve dire, 11th-hour decisions. As you rest God is making sure that EVERY missing piece drops and the mess and rubble you are walking through suddenly begin to make sense. This is where what has not been connecting suddenly starts to align and where there has been fogginess and no clarity you will start to see a clearing open up before you. Key: You can’t be a piece filler, trying to fabricate the piece that fills the gap because if you do it will eventually break down. REST and let the pieces come. RELOCATIONS, MIGRATIONS, & NEW ADDRESSES God told me that addresses and new cities would suddenly be shown to people in dreams and impressions for those who have felt like the season where they have been is over but they haven’t known the next step or place to go. There are mass relocations that are going to take place in January/February as God downloads new assignments and purpose that is attached to physical locations around the world. Your kids might even dream it. You might start randomly hearing a name, but it will come! In REST you will hear your change of address! Key: Don’t stress over the details. He knows where you need to be and He will make your transition and migration seamless. THIS IS WHERE OBSTACLES ARE EXPOSED & REMOVED This is where the things HIDDEN IN DARKNESS are exposed, as we rest, and war from our worship. This is why the enemy has tried so hard to get you into the hamster wheel.. so this would be in your strength and the miracle DID NOT SHOW UP. But as you rest the brick walls and endless obstacles you have been facing will be exposed and removed. You will suddenly see the weak spot, the open door, and the ways the enemy has been robbing you.. and you will SLAM THE DOOR SHUT! As you rest God is doing a spring clean and a protective reinforcement to make sure you are going into 2021 without the foxes robbing your vineyards . Key: Be open to see where the enemy has been robbing you. Adjust and shut doors that have been affecting you. It might be people, places, or even just things, but as you discern them you will make a clean break. IN REST, THE MONKEY WILL GET OFF YOUR BACK, THE SNAKES WILL RETREAT, & YOU WILL FIND THE SOLACE YOU HAVE LONGED FOR Lastly, I heard the Lord speak about “ALTITUDE” and I heard the scriptures; “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6 “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1 God is saying that as you rest in HIM in heavenly places you will move into the altitude that snakes start to retreat and the monkey of warfare gets off your back. So many have been facing a myriad of warfare in 2020 and this is God's way of delivering you, freeing you, and healing you as you crossover. This is where you breathe in the clean and fresh air of hope and posture yourself back into the delight of the Lord where you will be able to see what is to come and be tethered once again to the glorious future ahead of you and not the dim and dark future the enemy has been prophesying. So people of God, REST! This is where it shifts. This is where the reinforcements come in. This is where the blueprints are made clear and the pathway opens up before you where you have been detailed and delayed. REST is your scepter and your powerful key so that you crossover READY & ROARING in Jesus' name!
