I have a few prophetic words that I need to release over the next few days that are all different parts of the same prophetic word that is burning in my spirit right now. Now, if you have spent your life waging war against dysfunction and spiritual mess from your upbringing and family, yet still feel like there are blockages and wounded areas in your life, this word is going to really hit home. I want to start with a very personal encounter I had once with God. I was in a season where I was experiencing mental bombardment and some unresolved torment in my mind, and I began really seeking the Lord and asking Him what the root of this issue was in my life. The Lord had been speaking to me for weeks before this encounter, telling me I was about to cross a threshold, another level of freedom and healing. Not just for my own peace and freedom, but because of something I was stepping into in the kingdom that required me to have a greater capacity of freedom and to be whole, not hindered by the things that I was dealing with. And I believe that’s where many of us are right now. Things are coming to the surface. Pain. Mindsets. Your soul in anguish. These are all the signs of this.. So at the height of the torment, I cried out to the Lord, begging Him to set me free. I went to sleep then woke up a few hours later hearing the Lord say, “The Band-Aid’s coming off.” There in the dark of my room, the presence of God swept in like I hadn’t felt in a long time. It enveloped me. I knew instantly the Lord was about to do something, so I said, “Lord, speak to me. What are you doing?” He said, “I want to show you something that’s been hanging over you your whole life, but you’ve not known. And you’ve actually been fighting this particular area of freedom.” “Ouch. What is it, Lord?” The Lord began to speak to me about my childhood and my upbringing. He said, “You’ve dealt with your mother’s side and the healing there, but you’ve never dealt with your father’s side.” You see, my dad left when I was four. He committed adultery, had another family in another city, and he chose them over me. It’s true, I had walked through a lot of healing and freedom from the things connected to my mother’s side, but I never really paid attention to what my father had done and how it had affected me. Exodus 20:5 says “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations” So what I was experiencing was because I hadn’t dealt with this? The fruit/effects of my father’s sin - pain, adultery, and divorce had been hanging over me my whole life. I had never walked in the same weaknesses as my dad, but yet it was still there as a wound and a stumbling block of sorts in the background. But that doesn’t make sense, right? Aren’t we new creations in Christ? “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Yes, we are. But there was pain and unforgiveness and things there that were tethering me to this dysfunction, tethering me to the fruit of that disobedience. Instantly, I heard the Lord say, “The breaking of covenant brings a curse.” “Wow.” He took me to Genesis. The breaking of covenant in the garden brought a curse: “To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, “You must not eat from it,” cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life” Genesis 3:17 But then He led me to Hebrews 12:24; “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.” He said, “I need you to forgive, renounce, and submit this under the blood.” So I sat there in the dark that night, and I renounced anything that had been trying to carry over into my life: the spirit of rejection, the orphan spirit, the spirit of poverty and lack, and anything perverse that had also come from it. I gave it to the Lord. I covered it in the blood. And I stepped into a level of freedom that has so deeply impacted my life ever since. What am I trying to say? I’m trying to say that right now, we’re in moments, not just one, but major moments where God is bringing massive trajectory changes and shifts, as we lean into these opportunities for deliverance and healing. I’ll be really real and please don’t be offended but let me say this - most of the Church is in bondage. Most of the Church needs deliverance. Most of the Church is struggling with torment and mental illness and yet FEW are saying it and doing anything about it! Hence why I am sharing this with you today. This is one of the epidemics we face in the Body. We know how to walk in the gifts. We know how to do all the things, but we’ve shoved down our soul health, our spiritual health, for the sake of looking good on a Sunday. Marriages are falling apart. Lives are falling apart. What if, right now, God is getting us free and whole so we can be a stable and firm Church, a pure Bride so that we can actually be the healers in this next season? What if this is we the recession of the waves before the tsunami of Gods glory hits and ushers in the harvest? What would happen if we stepped out to be labourers for the harvest, but our foundations were faulty? We would crumble and fall. Do you see the importance of the hour that’s in front of us and why it’s here? A THRESHOLD MOMENT After this encounter, the Lord led me to the passage about Jacob. He was about to cross over the brook Jabbok and wrestle with the angel of the Lord and become Israel, but something else happened first. His brother Esau who he had deceived years earlier, was coming to meet him. Jacob had carried the burden and the pain of that situation his whole life and then, in a moment, God brought it to head before he crossed over. What if we’re in a moment right now where God is bringing generational deliverance to you and me? What if He’s clearing our names and putting the axe to the roots of things we didn’t even realize were trying to hang over us? These things shouldn’t be hanging over us. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word. But we’ve been resisting it. We want to be free but we also want to keep our pain. We want to be whole but we also want to keep our vendettas and our victimhood. We want to be free but we just don’t know how to step out of the habits and dysfunctions we grew up in. But those days are over. God is saying over you today that He wants to bring lasting and full wholeness and freedom to you. If this word resonated with you, I want you to ask the Lord to come and heal you. Ask Him to bring deliverance to those areas of your life, even as you’re reading this. Ask Him to show you the root. In fact, if you are feeling the Holy Spirit working right now, put on a worship track and sit in this for a moment and ask Him, “Show me what I need to uncovenant from.” Right now, God is exposing the roots and showing us what’s been wrong so we can get it fixed. Body of Christ, it’s time to step out of that mixture of covenants and be covenanted to Jesus for the days to come. Pray with me, “Jesus, you are the Lord and Saviour of my life, and right now I un-covenant with anything unholy. I un-covenant with the sins of my father and mother and generations before me. I uncovenant with pain, with victimhood, with witchcraft, divination, and anything in my past. And I covenant with you today. I step into a fresh relationship with you for the sake of me, my wife, my husband, my kids, and my family. I give you permission to guide and lead my life. I step out of the driver’s seat. Come and do what you want to do. Make me whole, in body, in mind, in spirit. In Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you, it’s time to exit generational bondage and enter generational INHERITANCE in Jesus' name! Instead of bondage, you are entering freedom and being yoked only to Jesus. Instead of mental instability, you will have the mind of Christ! Instead of poverty and lack, you will walk in abundance and be a resource to build the Kingdom! Instead of failure and breakdown, you will flourish in everything you do and build healthily! Instead of spending your days battling demons oppressing your mind, you will set others free! The threshold is here!  Get ready for part 2 coming in the next few days.

(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s )  This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

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?
