YOU ARE SHIFTING OUT OF CONFLICT & CHAOS INTO PEACE & VINDICATION

YOU ARE SHIFTING OUT OF CONFLICT & CHAOS INTO PEACE & VINDICATION

YOU ARE SHIFTING OUT OF CONFLICT & CHAOS INTO PEACE & VINDICATION

Earlier this week, I had a dream where I was being pursued by wild beasts and lions that were chasing after me. I knew that I was going after the calling that God had placed on my life, and yet I felt like I was being pursued at every corner. Have you ever felt like this too? Then suddenly a flaming sword came down into the road and divided it—separating these beasts from me, so they were unable to get to me. 


Then I heard a voice say, "Sever the path. Close the door. Shut all access points. This is a new chapter; this is a new path. Walk in it!"


Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21 NIV)


I knew this was an instruction of the Lord to sever and bring closure to areas of the past, but I also knew this was the Lord speaking about how we had entered into a time of the closing of an old door and the beginning of a new one—the severing of an old path and the beginning of a new one. I knew immediately this was for the pioneers who'd been pioneering on a particular journey for such a long period of time. It was for those who've been in transition for a long period of time and have been walking a certain way, they have now become familiar with the different aspects of the road—the different enemies, the different hurdles, the different issues, and the specific terrain. But I knew this was the Lord now saying, "Hey, this new path you're about to walk on is going to look very different from what you've known." I also knew it was the Lord speaking about the ending of a season of warfare and opposition and the beginning of a season of protection and favor, and the restoration of joy and strength. 


I knew this was the Lord speaking into a new path and a season of time where we will have the ability to focus on the building rather than just the defending—like Nehemiah in the rebuilding of the wall where his people had to constantly hold a sword in one hand and a building tool in the other. This would be a season where we can use both hands and all our effort and might can be focused on the building, where we won't have to constantly keep defending ourselves from the ravenous beasts that have been at our doorstep. 


A scripture came into my spirit instantly;


And a highway will be there;

 it will be called the Way of Holiness;

 it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;

 wicked fools will not go about on it.

No lion will be there,

 nor any ravenous beast;

 they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,

 and those the Lord has rescued will return.

They will enter Zion with singing;

 everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,

 and sorrow and sighing will flee away. (Isaiah 35:8-10 NIV)


I knew this was the Lord speaking over us: that we are entering a new path and journey—we have turned a corner! Many of us are leaving the tiresome road of constant battery and battle and we are entering a season of offensive occupation and fulfillment. Just as David had his season of being alone in the wilderness having to defend his sheep and fight bears and lions, we have been in this season too, wondering when the purpose would meet us and when we would finally leave the wild goose chase of spending all of our energy on putting out fires and defending ourselves and our families against invaders. 


Now the Lord says, "You are entering the season of seeing what the battle season was for, and instead of being invaded, you will now invade the enemy's territory and take back what was stolen! Now you will see what the tempering and refining season was forging inside you and your divine purpose being unveiled. You are entering a highway of holiness season—a path for the set-apart ones who haven’t wavered. This is where you will see the fruit of your blind yes."


It's going to be a time and a season when we're able to focus completely on what He has given us. It will be a time of revelation, a time of renewal and strength, and a time of restoration of joy for this long season behind us. We've had to war, contend, and battle for the promise but now we are entering into a time of peace and rest. 


WATCH ME DEAL WITH THE LIONS

I felt the deliverance of the Lord coming to many right now and the Lord said “And now watch me deal with the lions!” I knew this was for those who have been in the thick of the battle over their lives, families, and destiny—where the enemy has sought to take them out and discredit them. This season, watch as the Lord pursues the lions and clears your name. Now you will enter the new path unscathed. 


SEVER THE ACCESS POINTS

I felt the instruction in this revelation from the Lord was really quite simple, but it is something that we have to be intentional about right now—maybe it's going to even take a few months. The Lord is wanting us to take care of the areas—the access points—where the enemy is constantly getting to us and keeping us tethered to the past season. This is the time when the Lord is really wanting us to deal with the areas where we have been double-minded and doubted Him. 


From around October 2022, through to even now, there has been an assignment of full assault trying to bombard God's people and stop them from entering this new path so that they would not see the promise in the days to come. It was the enemy’s attempt to thwart the fulfillment of the promise that he could see coming to those who have stood and walked faithfully through years, even when the path didn’t make sense. But these access points have been vital areas of hearts that when compromised it has caused many to turn and walk away, or to settle for an inferior and counterfeit path. Don’t settle! 


BREAK UNEQUALLY YOKED ALIGNMENTS

In this instruction, I also felt that it was crucial to bring closure to the relationships and the ties that have been unequally yoked for some time. Often we can stay in connection with people who have drifted from the path because we feel a sense of loyalty to them and don’t want to see them in a bad place, but in doing so we can hold ourselves back from the path and even drift from the path ourselves. 


There has been a massive push from the enemy to put stocks on the feet of those moving forward by tethering them to people and the expectations from past seasons. Look for the "blast from the past" situations that reveal themselves in the next few months and deal with them quickly. This plan of the enemy has come with a controlling spirit, guilt, and condemnation that you are leaving people behind but the Lord showed me that these people are simply not willing to move where God is moving so they would rather hold you back. Discern the game at play and sever the ties! 


Also, check your alignments right now. Are they freeing you and empowering you or policing you and forcing you to submit to a false sense of covering that actually lacks true Kingdom covenant connection? You need covenant connection on this new path and nothing else—let that be your standard. Anything less is unequally yoked and in due time will trip you up and lead you back into the path of endless chatter and conflict. 


This is a time when God's going to deal with the wrong alignments—the wolves and the lions—that have been waiting and crushing you at every point. God is going to shut down every access point so that we can move into this new season uncluttered and completely focused on what He is leading us into. Get ready for a time of new relational alignments. Get ready for a time of the Lord leading you to people who will be selfless, people who will lift your arms up. A tribe of people who will get you well-—you don't have to explain yourself to them anymore and you don't have to beg them to be in your life to do things with and run with. This will be a time and a season where you'll find the people that get your heart and who will surround you. So get ready for a new tribe in this season—in this new path—for just as the enemy has been roaring around like a lion looking for those he can devour through wrong alignments the Lord is dealing with his plans and is aligning and connecting you with people who will be for you and stand with you.


NO BACKUP PLANS

Even recently, Christy and I felt the Lord speak clearly and say, “I don't want you to have any backup plans. Cut the cord!” 


I think it's quite a normal thing for pioneers when the Lord calls them out into the deep, for them to begin to plan for a backup route or path. Because as pioneers know, sometimes the seasons the Lord leads us into don't look like successes at first. In fact, quite a lot of the time they feel like failures—things fall apart and things don't work. It could become easy to develop a backup plan "just in case we need it", but I feel strongly the Lord saying, "Don't! I do not want you to have any backup plan this season. I want you to be all in on what I'm doing." 


I feel there's an instruction in these words from the Lord to completely sever and do away with the past season and to devote this new path and this new season to the Lord where we have a hundred percent focus on where He's leading us and what He's leading us into. What does that look like for your path—for your life and for your family? 


STOP CASTING YOUR PEARLS! 

The Lord says, "The enemy will not have any access point to you if you are protective of what I have given to you." This is a season the Lord doesn't want you to cast your pearls anymore before the swine. This is a season He doesn't want you to continue forfeiting the call on your life or handing it over to other people you feel are more capable of running in that calling. This is not a season to hide, a season to be quiet, a season to run, or a season to put your calling on the shelf for another time. This is a season to step into all that He's called you to be with no beasts at your door and with no constant attacks and arrows flying at you from every corner—you will be able to fully step into the call that God has for you. 


PURSUE THE GIANTS IN THE LAND!

This is a season the Lord wants you to pursue the giants in the earth. "This is a season," says the Lord, "where I am taking you from a place of being pursued to you becoming the pursuer. You are going from being constantly attacked and constantly persecuted to a season where you will persecute the enemy and you'll unveil, reveal, and expose his plans to the world. In this season, I'm flipping the script and I'm overturning the tables where you had enemies constantly at your doorstep trying to prevent you from entering into the promise. This will be the season where you foiled their plans and you lead many others into their promise. Will I not do it?" Says the Lord. 


AND YOU WILL FINALLY BIRTH IT! 

And then I heard the Lord say, “And now comes the birthing that has been delayed! I'm cutting off all access points so that the birthing suite will be safe for you to birth what I've given you to birth!”


"This will be a season," says the Lord, "where you will be able to completely feel safe. Many have been waiting for a long season, many have been waiting for an environment and a habitat that feels safe for them to birth what I have given them—and this will be that season," says the Lord. "It will be a season where you do not have to look over your shoulder anymore, waiting for something that is trying to take you out. This will be a season where you'll feel peace, the release, and the 'go' to finally plant your feet and birth what I've given you, and you will build in peace," says the Lord.


IF YOU DREAM IT I WILL BUILD IT

"You will have the resources, you will have the funds, you will have the support to be able to build what I've given you. You will have the infrastructure, you will have the plans, and you'll know that it is a season, a grace, and a time to be able to establish what I've given you. You will wander no more—you will stop looking and you will not have to continually be seeking—but you will find and you'll establish your feet and plant your feet in the land that I've given to you," says the Lord. "You will finally build and establish that which I've put on the inside of you. But will you dream with Me or will you keep looking at your circumstances and letting them taunt you? For if you dream it, I will build it! "


LET THE OLD PATH GO

As I was talking to the Lord about all of this, I felt a strong sense of needing to surrender everything that I had walked through and was still carrying—mindsets, fears, people, all of it! So what was I carrying?


“Your directions and your will,” I heard Him say. Ouch. 

“Your failures and thinking this will end badly,” I heard Him then say. Ouch again. 

"Ok Lord, I lay it all down. I have to step into this with fresh eyes and a heart uncluttered." 


Will you lay it all down and surrender everything? I feel such a fear of the Lord over this new path. It feels like holy ground and we shouldn’t step into it with the same familiarity—we need to leave that on the old path. What do you need to let go of? What about the people on your old path that didn’t—or couldn’t—come with you? On this new path, you can’t be focused on what other people are doing and saying or you will miss what God is doing. You can’t look around at Sodom like Lot's wife did and also be able to hold your gaze with Jesus. You are going to have to tune out the disapproval and noise of others and make the only thing you hear and see the King of Glory. 

Let it all go…


A DETOUR FROM THE HUSTLE INTO HOLINESS

And lastly, let me speak from the heart. I have felt such a strong intentional pull away from the old wineskin of the hustle and busyness. In this season you will fight fewer battles as you leave the busy and embrace rest. It will require saying "no" more often. There are opportunities and doors that look and sound good but they are stealing the peace and energy needed for something else—discernment is needed to know what is from God for you and what is for someone else. You will have to truly discern and know what you are called to do and what you aren’t, and be unapologetic about turning away what isn’t ordained by God for you and your family. 


- Leave the hustle: It only hurts you and puts you in dangerous situations. 

- Don’t let people buy you or let your anointing be sold. 

- Let this be a season where the Spirit of Holiness comes upon you and leads you on the path of the redeemed. 


ALL FOR JESUS!

PROPHETIC WORD: THE HORNETS NEST OF SWARMING VOICES

By Nate Johnston • 18 Sep, 2024
(This is a word from Feb 2022 that came to mind this week because it is what i have sensed happening to many right now) In a vision i saw a swarm of hornet's filling the skies and with it came a suffocating hopelessness and heaviness that were trying to yet again clog up the horizon. And the Lord said, "This is what the attack of the enemy looks like in this hour. This is the assignment of the enemy in a time when I am pouring out fresh vision and fresh dreaming. "This is the attack of the enemy to create distraction. It’s the swarm of words and slander sent to get them looking at the enemy and his incessant noise instead of what I am doing. It’s sent to scatter and plant strife, slander, and restlessness in homes. "It’s sent to bring confusion, doubt, and double-mindedness over the vision I am releasing. "It’s sent to divide marriages, relationships, and people building together. "It’s sent to brood the spirit of madness and forfeit, over the hearts of those finally getting free of the battle season." This hornet's nest was an assignment of the enemy to try to sting the people of God, to try to sting the people of God through witchcraft and slander, and a shout out to discredit people that would just be getting back on their feet and stepping into a new day. This assignment was to come into sting people, so it would shut them down. "But this is an hour," says the Lord, "where you must stand firm, you must stay undistracted from this assignment of the enemy." And then the Lord said to me, "And this hornet's nest is an assignment of the enemy to get them caught up in all the things of the world, all the news reports and all the different fear and propaganda going on in the world. BUT I am countering this swarm with peace and clarity that they will only find by running into My Presence daily! I will protect their minds and keep them free of every entanglement. For right now, your eyes need to be marked—your eyes need to be clearly synced with My eyes. "I'm giving you Eagle eyes. I'm giving you eyes to see beyond where you have been—you've been in the wilderness, you've been in a dark season of not being able to see. You’ve not seen where I'm taking you but now you will see beyond circumstances and beyond even this season. Now will see how I see. "So do not fall for these Hornet's nests, do not fall for the sudden fires and sudden calamities that show up in the world around you that the enemy is trying to get you caught up in. Do not fall for the fear-mongering of the world, do not fall for those things, but hold the vision that I'm giving you and run with it, and make it plain." "For right now, I'm bringing deliverance to divided minds. I'm bringing deliverance to those who have been in two minds—for those who've been having one foot in the new door that I have for them and one foot in defeat and wanting to give up. Right now I'm bringing deliverance to those who have been living in trauma; those who have been living in a place of continual breakdown on the inside, but at the same time, grabbing hold of the new thing I'm doing. "And I say to you today, grab hold of what I have given you. Grab hold of the rope, grab hold of the lifeline that I've thrown you and do not let go, let it pull you out of the trauma," says the Lord, "for the days coming are days of wholeness, the days coming are days of freedom" says the Lord. "And right now I’m breaking every trigger and cycle in your life. I'm coming against every area that has been causing you to be pressed, causing you to be triggered and causing you to break down and be unable to run forward. Because the days are coming," says the Lord, "where you will build the very vision that I gave you long ago, you will build the vision—not the vision other people handed you but the vision I gave you—the vision I handed you, the blueprint I handed you. "I am right now de-cluttering you from every single hindrance, every single association that would cause you to backpedal and cause you to water down the vision I gave you. "You're stepping into a new wineskin blueprint for your life, and you will not compromise that vision anymore," says the Lord. "You are stepping over into power. You're stepping over into Kingdom influence and you're stepping over into fruit and fulfillment. "Get ready to begin to sign contracts, get ready to begin to hold in your hands the very vision that you thought was passed over, the very prayers and the promises that you thought that I have forgotten about. "The dreams that you thought you would never see again... "Get ready to hold it in your hands for the time is coming," says the Lord, "that I will fulfill every promise that I gave you."

PIONEERS, YOU ARE IN THE TRANSITION OF "VISION RESET"

By Nate Johnston • 18 Sep, 2024
I have a word for you this week. The Lord says; “You are in a vision reset right now. That's why I'm beginning to highlight the areas in your life that have been crowding out my voice. I've been highlighting the things in your life that have been contaminants, flies in the ointment, stopping you from seeing clearly the path, the plan, and the purpose that I have for you” “For the last 4 years, you've been through much. You've weathered many storms. You've been through many difficult situations and dark nights of the soul. You've had many people in your ear that have brought DI-VISION and have thwarted my vision for your life. Right now, I am exposing all areas that have taken you off the path and off the trajectory of your purpose” “That is why, right now, you suddenly feel a discontent for the things you've been doing, even for some in the locations they've been doing them. That's why you've felt sudden discernment and red flags become stronger regarding certain people, alignments, and even mission. I know it's unsettling. I know it makes you feel lost. I know it makes you feel like you've detoured, but right now, I'm correcting your path” “Yes, in many ways, you'll have to look and realize there have been some Ishmaels, and there have been some places you've walked that I never called you to, and even people I never called you to. But do not fear and do not fret, and remove the condemnation, because I’m leading you back on track, says the Lord” “I'm bringing you back in alignment with the pure vision that I placed upon your life. This is a full circle moment where I bring you back to the place of your original purpose, back to the original dream, back to the original vision, back to the place where you come alive again” “Have you wondered why in the last 4 years it has felt like you lost your fire? You wondered why it feels like you've been toiling in vain, seeing no results and seeing no fruit for the plan that I have for you? It is because your vision has been tainted. Your vision has been contaminated. This has been the subtle plan of the enemy to get you off track and to burn you out” “Yes, weary pioneers. I'm speaking to you right now. This is the reason you've been weary, because you've been spreading yourself thin in areas that you've had no grace or anointing to operate in. There are even many that are in roles that I've not authorized them for. There's no grace and anointing for the things that I've not authorized you for, and you've burnt yourself out” “It has led many to a place of wanting to give up and run. But right now, I'm delivering you from the weariness and the burnout by leading you back to the purity of your vision. Leading you back to the purity of the original dream that I gave you, that makes you come alive again. It's going to feel like there are doors closing. It's going to feel like suddenly I uproot your heart from places that you have wanted to be secured in” “It's going to feel like suddenly I give you an unction to leave some of the circles and the rooms that you've been a part of. But it is not to rob you, but to free you, to bring you back to the place where you come alive and where you and I co-labor again with the pure vision that I've given you” “After the cross, Peter was lost and he went back to fishing because he was looking to find me. It was the place of his original encounter that his heart was longing for. And many right now are looking at going back as defeat. They're looking at it as a robbery, but it is going to be what ignites your original vision. It's going to be what brings you back to the place of experiencing my presence and my glory in a way that you've not known these last 4 years” “For you've only known depletion and burnout, and you've forgotten what it feels like to linger in my presence. You've forgotten what it feels like to burn with delight as my glory rests upon you, and you feel your womb shaking and trembling under the weight of my presence and my glory. But now you're coming back to that place, says the Lord. For I've not called you to be an intellectual Christian. I've not called you to be a Christian that operates by their emotions and their feelings” “I've called you to be a revivalist to the nations. And in this hour, I'm reigniting the original call and plan I had upon your life where I marked you in the secret place. I'm going to brand you afresh, says the Lord. I'm going to remind you of the words, the promises I gave you in that original encounter. I'm bringing you back to the place to reset your vision, reset your life back on track, to free you of burnout, and deliver you of every thumbprint and every bit of ownership that's been trying to rob you of your destiny or purpose” “I'm removing you from under the ceilings that you've been under, and I'm bringing you back into the wide-open space of my glory again, where you will see my kingdom. You will see what I'm doing in the earth that is untainted by the religion of man. I'm bringing you out from under the yokes of religion and the empires that have been trying to lord it over you for a long time. Yes, I'm bringing you back into a place of vision and dreaming with me again” “So get ready, pioneers, for I've already begun this work. I've already begun to lift the load, but the things that are coming to the surface of your soul are only to free you. I'm going to cause things to align in your life that don't make sense at first, but you'll see that it is I who is restoring you back to the purity and simplicity of relationship with me and the burning call for the nations”

It was the place of his original encounter that his heart was longing for. And many right now are looking at going back as defeat. They're looking at it as a robbery, but it is going to be what ignites your original vision. It's going to be what brings you back to the place of experiencing my presence and my glory in a way that you've not known these last 4 years” “For you've only known depletion and burnout, and you've forgotten what it feels like to linger in my presence. You've forgotten what it feels like to burn with delight as my glory rests upon you, and you feel your womb shaking and trembling under the weight of my presence and my glory. But now you're coming back to that place, says the Lord. For I've not called you to be an intellectual Christian. I've not called you to be a Christian that operates by their emotions and their feelings” “I've called you to be a revivalist to the nations. And in this hour, I'm reigniting the original call and plan I had upon your life where I marked you in the secret place. I'm going to brand you afresh, says the Lord. I'm going to remind you of the words, the promises I gave you in that original encounter. I'm bringing you back to the place to reset your vision, reset your life back on track, to free you of burnout, and deliver you of every thumbprint and every bit of ownership that's been trying to rob you of your destiny or purpose” “I'm removing you from under the ceilings that you've been under, and I'm bringing you back into the wide-open space of my glory again, where you will see my kingdom. You will see what I'm doing in the earth that is untainted by the religion of man. I'm bringing you out from under the yokes of religion and the empires that have been trying to lord it over you for a long time. Yes, I'm bringing you back into a place of vision and dreaming with me again” “So get ready, pioneers, for I've already begun this work. I've already begun to lift the load, but the things that are coming to the surface of your soul are only to free you. I'm going to cause things to align in your life that don't make sense at first, but you'll see that it is I who is restoring you back to the purity and simplicity of relationship with me and the burning call for the nations”

WHY WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE MISFIT PROPHETS RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • 17 Sep, 2024
As I was praying for this specific group of Wild One's, the Lord was highlighting specifically the Misfit Prophets, and He began to download the numerous reasons why these voices need to be brought to the forefront in this hour... 1. They Speak What Others Won’t: Misfit prophets aren’t confined by religious structures. They have no problem saying the things that make others uncomfortable, which is exactly what we need in this moment of spiritual compromise. 2. They See Through the Noise: While others may be distracted by the latest trends, the misfit prophets are tuned into heaven’s frequency. They can cut through the noise of the world to bring a word in season. 3. They Disrupt the Status Quo: They carry a mantle to challenge what’s “normal” in the church and society. They are the ones who shake things up, and right now, we need that disruption. 4. They Don’t Play by the Rules: Misfit prophets don’t operate by the traditions of man. They’ve been rejected by systems because they refuse to compromise, which makes them powerful vessels for the Lord’s raw truth. 5. They Call Out The Hidden Stuff: When sin is tolerated in the body of Christ, these prophets will confront it head-on, exposing what’s been covered and calling the church to repentance. 6. They See What’s Coming: Misfit prophets carry a unique ability to see future shifts that others overlook. Their unconventional ways allow them to discern what’s on the horizon. 7. They Carry Unfiltered Truth: Right now, we don’t need sugar-coated words. We need the unfiltered, uncomfortable truth that misfit prophets deliver without hesitation. 8. They Champion the Outcasts: Misfit prophets know what it’s like to be on the outside, and they are uniquely positioned to speak to the broken, the rejected, and the outcasts—those who are often overlooked by the mainstream church. 9. They Prophesy Outside the Camp: Their voice often comes from the wilderness, and it’s the wilderness voices that bring fresh fire. They’re not tied to systems, so they speak from the raw, untamed places of God’s heart. 10. They Carry Boldness for Battle: Misfit prophets aren’t afraid of confrontation. They know how to stand in spiritual warfare and declare the hard things, even when the church is too scared to address it. 11. They Are Unmoved by Popular Opinion: They don’t care about likes, follows, or applause. Misfit prophets are more concerned with heaven’s approval than the praise of man, making their message pure. 12. They Call the Church Back to Her First Love: Misfit prophets remind the church of her true identity. They call her away from performance and back to intimacy with Jesus. 13. They See Through Religious Deception: Where religious spirits have snuck in to pervert the gospel, misfit prophets expose the lies and bring truth to the forefront. 14. They Have Endured the Fire: Many misfit prophets have walked through rejection, pain, and wilderness seasons, and their words carry the weight of that fire-tested authority. 15. They Are Not Afraid of Rejection: Having been rejected by man, misfit prophets know how to lean on the Lord for validation. Their words don’t cater to those who reject them—they speak what God gives them without fear. 16. They Bring Radical Innovation: Misfit prophets don’t just prophesy—they often bring creative, out-of-the-box solutions for problems in the church and society that others have missed. 17. They Release a New Sound: Misfit prophets carry a fresh, untainted sound from heaven. This sound shakes the atmosphere and calls people to attention in a way that familiar voices cannot. 18. They Call Out the Religious Spirit: Misfit prophets have no tolerance for the religious spirit that controls and manipulates the church. They tear down those false altars and lead people into authentic encounters with God. 19. They Are Voices of Justice: Misfit prophets are passionate about justice. They have no issue calling out injustice, whether it’s in the world or within the church, and they advocate for those who have no voice. 20. They Carry the Mantle for Revival: Above all, misfit prophets are wired for revival. They’re not interested in maintaining the status quo—they’re here to see God’s kingdom invade earth. We need their voice to ignite the flames of revival and prepare the way for what God is doing next. Are you a misfit prophet? Take these points as confirmation...that you are being elevated and positioned in this hour for a divine reason. It's time to raise your voice because we need to hear it! 

THE FRISBEE & THE BOOMERANG

By Nate Johnston • 13 Sep, 2024
We flew into California a few days ago and felt the Lord telling us to go to Pirates Cove to declare “Lord do it again!” That night I had a dream where I am holding a frisbee and throwing it across the waters to the nations in the direction of Australia. As I throw it I began to groan in the spirit and cry out “Lord let a new Jesus movement erupt from these shores once again!” Then I saw something begin to fly back at me from the horizon that carried a loud whirring/buzzing sound then I caught it. It was a boomerang like one I had when I was a kid but had sounded like a “bull-roarer” that was used by the Australian First Nations as communication. It was ancient and worn yet solid and sturdy. It was the boomerang of revival from the nation of Australia! Then I stepped back and threw it back out across the waters and declared “Lord finish what you started in the nations!” Then I looked out across the waters and then again, I could make out an object coming back at me and I caught it. It was the frisbee! This repeated itself over and over as I would throw the frisbee out and declare, and then the boomerang. What is the Lord saying? Just as in the days of the Jesus people movement where God used Lonnie Frisbee as the catalyst for revival that started in California and spread to the nations, there is coming a new sound of revival from these very shores once again. But there is another sound, and it’s the sound of the Australian boomerang and bull-roarer that is right now in its birthing. From the depths of apathy is erupting a new sound of worship and a fresh move of God from the shores of my homeland that is going to ROAR across the nations! And just as it’s been prophesied that Australia and America would link arms for an end times move of God, I believe what I was witnessing was the handshake in the heavens and the SYMPHONY in the spirit that is going to take place with these two nations that will then cause the song in other nations to come forth. The frisbee and the boomerang are primitive and humble yet both powerful and the Lord is saying through this that He is going to use the unlikely and understated. He is going to use the misfits and the outcasts for this move of God. It’s going to be grassroots and organic. Raw and messy. But yet it’s going to be the biggest harvest the earth has yet seen. Lou Engle also had a dream about this same thing in 2020 where he saw Lonnie Frisbee standing as a symbolic figure for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, similar to the Jesus Movement. In the dream Frisbee said, “There’s going to be another Jesus Movement, only this time it’s going to be with signs and wonders.” Lou felt the Lord impressing upon him that, just as Frisbee had been a key player in the revival of the 1960s and 70s, God was preparing to use a new generation of people—those who felt disqualified or broken—to bring about a fresh wave of revival. What if we were right now on the precipice of a revolution once again? What if the Holy Spirit is saying “The sound of revival is emerging from the midst of ruins!” There’s never been a better time for it. DO IT AGAIN LORD!
