YOU ARE THE NEW THING! - THE RISING OF THE TRENDSETTERS, THE MOLD-BREAKERS, & THE ESTABLISHERS OF NEW NORMS

YOU ARE THE NEW THING! - THE RISING OF THE TRENDSETTERS, THE MOLD-BREAKERS, & THE ESTABLISHERS OF NEW NORMS

Recently in worship the Holy Spirit began to speak to me, and He said “I am doing a new thing, do you see it? I am doing something brand new,  something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Do you see it??” just as it says in Isaiah 43:19.Then He said it again “Nate I am doing a new thing; do you SEE IT?” and I replied, “Yes Lord I see it!”. Then He said “Nate, I am doing a new thing, do you see them?” Then my spirit was quickened to the next chapter of Isaiah where it says:

“I will pour refreshing water on the thirsty and streams on the dry ground. I will pour out my Spirit on your children, my blessing upon your descendants. They will spring up like grass blanketing a meadow, like poplars growing by gushing streams” Isaiah 44:2-3

Then I understood what He was saying. Not only are we in a NEW ERA, where God is doing a NEW THING, but WE ARE the new thing! Wow! So, I feel to prophesy this over you and share what I believe God is wanting to do through you in this special time we are alive in.

THE FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT UNLOCKING AND ACTIVATING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND RESERVED FOR NOW

As Isaiah 44 says, it is the outpouring that causes people to spring up and emerge, and right now there is a fresh outpouring of Holy Spirit that is healing hearts, refreshing hearts, and igniting the new that has been lying dormant and hidden up until now. Just like Jesus at the Cana Wedding, God has hidden the best wine to come forth from you NOW, and your greatest season of impact NOW. This will be the season that you say “I did not even know that was in me!” yet the fresh touch of the Spirit upon your life is causing that which has been unseen to be seen, and that which has been not ready to suddenly be ripe. And the Lord says to you today “NOW YOU ARE RIPE, NOW YOU ARE READY, DO YOU SEE IT, DO YOU BELIEVE IT?”

CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS SPRINGING UP OUT OF THE MESS AND CHAOS?

I heard the Lord say “The increase you asked for is here, can you see it yet? The new thing you wanted; can you see it? Because I am shifting and moving every area of your life to accommodate the magnitude of it. I am enlarging your capacity to carry it, steward it, and run with it. I am challenging complacency and defeat so you can fully embrace it, and I am overturning the enemys plans to keep you stagnant when you asked to thrive. But can you see it?” And right now, I feel like God is giving eyes to see what He is doing in your life, so you diagnose your surroundings and circumstances correctly. Look beyond the rawness where your heart is trying to play catch up to all the moving pieces. Look beyond the extreme discomfort, the loss and sudden closure of relationships and the past season and you’ll begin to see NEW LIFE blossoming forth!

THEY WILL BE CARRIERS OF A COMPLETELY NEW REFORMATIONAL BLUEPRINTS THAT ARE GOING TO SHAKE THE EARTH!

Do you realize what God is preparing you for right now? Do you realize that you have been prepared and groomed for right now? As I was writing everything down that God was speaking to me, I saw a vision of tens of thousands of envelopes coming out of heaven and as they hit the ground, they cracked it open and sent shockwaves through the earth. These envelopes were not just the new orders, assignments, and missions being delivered to you right now, but I knew that they contained ground-breaking revelation, language, & expressions that are going to reform, shift, re-shape, and change the landscape of Kingdom as we know it. But I believe I saw them as envelopes because they are invitations to those hungry enough to allow God to dramatically interrupt their plans and usher in the new. The new is exciting and full of wonder but it is extremely inconvenient if you want to stay comfortable and not have to adjust every part of your life to it. Will we be offended when it comes or will we choose to be the variable that bends to it?

THE EMERGENCE OF TREND-SETTERS & ESTABLISHERS OF NEW NORMS

I heard the Lord say that we are about to see a rising or springing up of 3 types of revivalists: trend-setters, mold-breakers, and establishers of new norms, and they will set the tempo, flow, and direction for the years to come.

  • Trend-setters are those who introduce new trends, ideas, or change the way/method that something is done. They are the beginning of the bridge from the old to the new and normally highlight the fresh way God is moving and demonstrate it and have fruit to show for it.
  • A mold-breaker is a person that is boldly original or pioneering something first if its kind that moves completely outside of the sphere we are used to but that God uses in a powerful way. Mold-breakers cause us to enlarge our understanding of how God is moving and confronting our own limits, ceilings, and religious parameters to accommodate God’s movement.
  • Establishers of new norms are those who replace the expected, usual, typical state after a new trend/way is formed or something new is birthed and have the ability to practically implement new strategies and ideas to build upon what has been before it. These are those who help guide and lead the church into the new thing so that it is embraced and not rejected.

Do you relate to any of these? What are some of the reformational, new, unheard of, and unusual movements and ministries that God releasing through you in this season?

WE ARE ENTERING A TIME OF REVIVAL REDEFINED, AND THE FLAME MULTIPLIED INTO EVERY SPHERE IN THE EARTH

Then the Lord showed that we are in a time where these carriers of the new were going to usher in revival and redefine it where it had been given a bad name, abused, opposed, and thwarted. But I saw that the flame of revival was multiplying and being sent into every sphere in the earth carried by this generation of unusual exploits. We will still see revival in stadiums and churches, but I saw revival fires being lit in homes all around the world where genuine revival was being birthed in the middle of families sitting around the dinner table and it transforming streets and suburbs. I saw revival fires being sent into political arenas and it shifting and over-turning the seats of power in counties, regions, and states simply by these carriers choosing to go where they were called. I saw universities suddenly experiencing the weighty glory of God and FIRE that was causing people to speak in tongues and prophesy. The Spirit of Truth was moving in power and removing the veils off a generation that has been hidden and captive in the dark and in a moment commissioning them to carry the new wine. It will be that sudden. I see key players that God is raising up to display His glory in the earth that will have the ear of kings, and the keys to unlock cities to its rich heritage. The fire is being lit upon hearts even right now, and lives are being marked for his glory!

THE NEW STANDARD IS BEING RELEASED & WE CAN’T GO BACK!

As I’m writing this I am seeing revival fires engulfing families, marriages, and children, as God is drawing a line in the sand where the enemy has waged war against your home, your destiny, and your inheritance to prevent you from entering into your greatest season. But It will not prosper and even right now God is overturning every attack and robbery that has come against you. Even those who have said “What do I have left, I am empty?” and NOW there is a fresh infilling and your EMPTY will suddenly turn into OVERFLOW, your “end of the road” is actually your new start, and your "done and dusted" is your BREAKING OUT of the rut and into FRESH HOPE and a new day of wonder!

The question we need to ask ourselves and the question the church needs to ask itself is “Will we yield to the move of the Spirit? Will we move with Him? Will we move out the way and stop resisting Him? Will we lay down our plans for His? Will we say yes to the new when it comes no matter what it looks like? Will we pick up out torches again? Will we choose comfort or the great commission? Will we choose what we can control or that which cannot be tamed only surrendered to? Will we say yes even we do not know the full picture of what is ahead? I pray that our hearts in this time would be a wholehearted YES!

WE ARE IN A ROOTS MOVEMENT MOMENT

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025
I heard the Lord say: This is a roots movement. This is a moment where I have humbled my Church not to punish her, but to heal her. To purify her. To prune her for the coming harvest. My Church had grown accustomed to the bloom, the fruit, the outward beauty and what man sees, celebrates, and calls success. But right now, my glory is resting on what looks ordinary. What looks unpopular. Even what appears ugly or overlooked. Man says it’s about charisma. About the lights and smoke machines. About loud worship and grandeur. But my glory in this hour is resting on the grassroots, the simple, the foolish. On that which looks like a seed, small, buried, and unseen yet saturated by My glory. I’ve looked into the hearts of My people. I’ve seen a deep longing for what is real. For what is authentic. For what draws them back to Me not a performance, but an encounter. Not hype, but holy. For too long, My name was exalted in systems that celebrated man’s wisdom, man’s comforts, and man’s movements. But now, their brokenness is leading them back on unfamiliar paths toward what looks small, humble, and unthreatening. And yet it is pregnant with promise. That place you’ve overlooked is where I’ve hidden the seeds of My next great outpouring. A place people will say, “Surely revival can’t come from there.” But that is exactly where My Spirit is about to be poured out. I’ve chosen a people who have chosen the low road. Those who refuse to chase platforms or prestige. If you choose the low road, My Spirit will get the glory. If you humble yourself in this season if you choose the way few choose you will experience personal revival. You will see the fulfillment of the promises I made over nations. But it starts with the roots. Can you not see? I’ve been cutting back the tree. I’ve been stripping away the opulence because it came, and My glory lifted. The spectacle increased, but signs and wonders diminished. Man became too familiar with My anointing, relying on giftings instead of My Spirit. He who has ears, let him hear: I am doing a new thing in this hour, but it won’t look like what you’re used to. I’m bringing My Church back to its roots. Back to Acts. Back to the place of birth where it was messy, but it was beautiful. And right now, many are feeling the tension. You can feel the pull into something new, but it feels like your branches are being cut back. Some feel like nothing more than a stump, a root in the ground. But from that root will grow something powerful if you let Me water you. If you let Me tend to you. I’m uprooting the weeds and tares from past seasons things that have choked your family, your calling, your mind, your marriage. I’m clearing the soil so that what grows next will be healthy, sustainable, and lasting. I’ve brought My Church low so that what is planted now will remain for generations. This is not the end. This is a rebirthing. You will experience My glory again, says the Lord. So if you feel lost…if the doors are closing…if your resources are drying up…if you’re staring at impossible debt or deep lack… know that I am there. -I am in the midst of your marriage. -I am in the midst of that prodigal child. -I am in the midst of your finances. -I am in the midst of your health. The enemy has lied to you, but I am taking an ax to the root of those lies. Not to destroy your life but to prune it. To cut back what was killing you. To free you from generational cycles and mindsets that have left you worn out and barely holding on. I am bringing you into wholeness. I am bringing you into freedom. Can you not see it? And here is My call to the Church: -If you will prepare a place for Me to dwell… -If you will come low… -If you will humble yourself… I will come. And the people will come. The broken will come. The world that is truly searching for Me will come. Roots movements are beginning to burst forth across the earth. They look like Davids in the field unnoticed, uninvited, seemingly insignificant. Yet they carry My glory. Soon, they will grow. And the world will recognize their fruit and like the pearl in the field many will give away everything to buy the field. The hidden ones will emerge to join the song of the lamb. And they will become dispensaries of My presence where healing, signs, wonders, and the fresh and mighty outpouring of my spirit will flow! 

I'M GOING TO TURN IT AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025
Are you facing a bleak situation right now? A bad report? I feel an unction from the Holy Spirit to prophesy over those standing in the middle of what looks like impossible right now. It might be health issues, financial breakdown, family chaos, mental exhaustion and more. Let me prophesy….It’s going to turn around. You know those moments in life where you’re under pressure, crushed, confused, out of options? You’ve prayed, fasted, cried… and still, nothing shifts? And then out of nowhere, God speaks. We had one of those moments today. A family member was in surgery and everything began falling apart. It didn’t look good. In fact, it looked hopeless. Panic hit me at first so I cried out, “Lord, I need you. I don’t know what to do.” And suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord thunder in my spirit “It’s going to turn around!” At that exact moment, I glanced at my phone - it was 11:11. The Holy Spirit reminded me of John 11:11: “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.” Notice that J esus didn’t call Lazarus “dead” even though everyone else did. He called him asleep because He saw the turnaround before it came. He spoke life into a situation everyone had already given up on. In the natural, Lazarus was gone. But in the spirit, heaven had a different word. And I believe God is saying to many of you; “What looks dead is only sleeping and I’m about to wake it up.” Just like the young girl in Mark 5, when they told Jesus she was dead, and He said, “She is not dead, she is only sleeping.” He spoke a word that contradicted the room. And I feel right now that heaven is interrupting your crisis with a contradictory word: “It’s going to turn around.” Like in Zephaniah 3:19–20 which declares: “In the end I will turn things around for the people… I’ll get rid of all those who’ve made your life miserable. I’ll heal the maimed; I’ll bring home the homeless… On Judgment Day, I’ll bring you back home—a great family gathering!” This is your Psalm 126 moment: “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter…” — Psalm 126:1–2 That moment when sorrow turns to laughter. Tears to testimony. Confusion to clarity. But here’s the truth: I know many of you are weary. You’ve been through years of warfare, setbacks, disappointments. And you have had some unexpected situations rise and you’re wondering, “Do I even have the strength to stand in this one?” You feel like you’re out of fight. You’re tired of pushing. Tired of prophesying with no fruit. Tired of trying to make things move In your own strength. You’ve thought, “Maybe I should just roll over. Maybe I should stop contending. It’s too much.” But I feel the Lord tell me to send this word out to hold up your arms today. This word is not just encouragement. It’s a prophetic act. Like Aaron and Hur holding up Moses’ arms in battle (Exodus 17:12), I’m lifting yours right now in the Spirit and I am declaring over you: The battle is shifting. Remember 2 Kings 6, when Elisha’s servant woke up and saw their city surrounded by enemy armies? Fear took over. But Elisha prayed: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. —2 Kings 6:17 I pray the same for you today: Lord, open their eyes. Let them see what You’ve already released on their behalf. Let them see that heaven is fighting for them. This is a midweek arm-lifting moment. I declare boldness is returning to your voice. Fire is coming back to your bones. And faith is rising again in your heart. Watch it turn around. Not by might, not by power but by My Spirit, says the Lord. —Zechariah 4:6 But God is not just fixing surface-level problems. He is resetting your foundations. Where the enemy has robbed, God is restoring. Where the locusts have eaten, He is repaying. This is Joel 2:25; “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” So let me say it again - It’s turning around. Even in a short amount of time the suddenly of the Lord is about to visit your situation. That assignment that’s been hovering over you is breaking. That heaviness is lifting. And God will get all the glory In Jesus’ mighty name!
