A WORD FOR AUSTRALIA - DREAM OF THE FALLING TOWERS

A WORD FOR AUSTRALIA - DREAM OF THE FALLING TOWERS

I have a word for the nation of Australia, but I also speak prophetically about what many are experiencing personally. For this purpose, I have split this word into two parts to ensure the two are distinct. You can find the second word here at: https://nateandchristy.co/for-those-in-a-ground-zero-moment

The night after we flew into Australia, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw two towers in the middle of the Outback of Australia, towering through the clouds, when suddenly they came crashing down, one after the other.

Then, I was taken into another scene. In the place where the towers were, people were weeping at the site—then I heard "ground zero." This felt the same as the ground zero site in New York City, and like the physical site, I saw masses gathering around the destruction and weeping and travailing over the fall of these towers.

But then I yelled out, "The days of weeping are over, Australia. The time of mourning has come to an end. For now, out of the ashes shall come the great end-time move of God that was prophesied!"

Australia, you have been in a great shaking, and the towers of man's movements have come crashing down. The days of empires have come to an end, and the era of the ecclesia has come. When I woke up, I began thinking about how this could represent actual empires or movements that had crashed and fallen, but then two words came into my spirit—religion and apathy.

The two towers that are falling are the towers of religion and apathy. Two demonic assignments that have been given a high place in our nation.

Religion, to enslave us and make us feel that we are doing the Lord's work when it's the taming of the wild horses called to be a spearhead in the nations. And apathy, so we don't rise up in the power and awakening of the spirit, and so the nation called to be a breaker and forerunner of revival stays in slumber.

In the last four years, I have seen Australians battle these principalities, but the towers are falling.

THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE ERA IN AUSTRALIA

Yes, the Lord is raising up the warrior bride in this nation in a time of holy war. The family is coming back. The institution has lost its hold over Australia.

Self-seeking empires no longer hold a monopoly or sway over the nation. "For in this hour, I am leading my church back to her roots, says the Lord."

"I am waking Lazarus up, and he is taking off the grave clothes of an era of oppression and spiritual death."

Australia, the enemy, tried to make you a laughing stock in the nations. Muzzling you, shutting you up in your homes, enforcing the most legalistic laws upon you, and bringing the Church into subjugation.

The enemy tried to send you into a coma. But I prophesy that Your hibernation is over! The days of only barely surviving are over. For you have said, "We are Aussie battlers, and when times get tough, we know how to hunker down, but your days of hiding and surviving are over.

The Aussie battler mindset is breaking, and you are becoming the Aussie warriors that I called you to be, says the Lord. It's time to wake up from your sleep, Lazarus.

It's time to shake off the death sentence the enemy gave you, your health, your marriage, and your calling. You must leave the pews of environments that have kept you asleep at a time when you are meant to come alive.

YOU ARE IN A GROUND ZERO MOMENT

Many Australians feel that we are at ground zero as a nation and personally. The Lord showed us the depths of pain, anguish, and loss many have been carrying. We have felt the depths of loss and grief surrounding people. Loss of loved ones. Financial ruin. Bad reports over health. Marriages in crisis. Prodigal children, and death to many destinies and callings.

You are indeed at a ground zero moment, but I feel like I have a booming message in my spirit—Australia, you have never been more riper than you are now. People have their eyes fixed on America, but Australia is the secret weapon the enemy and other nations were not expecting. Convict nation. Easily controlled. Followers. The enemy has said.

Wild and free. Potent. Pioneers. The tip of the spear. Underestimated. The apple of my eye. My David company, The Lord says.

You have been knocked down many times, but you keep getting back up again. This season marks the dawning of a new day and a new beginning.

Do not grieve that you are at ground zero because this is where the Lord rebuilds you just as he rebuilds this nation. Your seed has fallen to the ground and died. Your promises have fallen to the ground.

And now you are left feeling soul sick and hopeless, but now says the Lord, I will TURN this nation around and turn your life around. For in the place of death and destruction shall come the greatest breakthrough season and outpouring.

THE BATTLE OF "BRANDS" DAYS ARE OVER

Australia, The days of battling each other and building your own kingdoms are over. The days of being a collective voice - many different parts as one are here.

It's the wild horses running together as one, not separately, where we are open to error, attack, and the narcissistic kingdom approach. We can't do franchise Christianity anymore. We can't do Saul's ways of kingdom where covering is elevated over covenant, all the while killing our own.

Pyramid scheme church is not the building method of the future.

As I was praying recently, I saw ACC turn into ACTS. The Lord is saying to the ACC-movement that a fresh wind is here if you will receive it. Will you choose my spirit over church-building methods? Will you lay down your plans like Samuel again for what I want to give you?

For if you do, you will become the Church of acts again and lead my Church forward. Will you Transition into the new or stay stuck in the old?

REVIVAL IS KINDLING

For many have said, "Australia, you are asleep. You aren't ready for revival. But there have been a remnant who have been filling up their lamps with oil and have contended. They have not relented or fallen asleep but are waiting for their moment. People have said Australia is dry, but all the dry wood needs is a spark, and it becomes a wildfire.

And I see wildfires sweeping this nation—homes of gatherings where the topic of Jesus and the most broken are invited to the table. Yes, true revival is kindling even in the midst of so much headache and brokenness. I'll say it again - Australia you are more ready than you know.

THERE IS A NEW WAVE HITTING THE SHORES

Look, do you see it? In the midst of the greatest season of shaking, there is a new wave approaching the shores of Australia. You felt like you missed the last one. But this one, you won't.

This is the wave of the fresh move of the spirit that is coming to usher in the greater glory season. Church, as usual, won't be possible ever again.

Leaders will have to choose between old manna and the humility and surrender that invites His glory.

THE DEATH OF THE TALL POPPY SPIRIT

Australia, this is a season in which I am rebranding you both personally and as a nation, the Lord says. For too many decades, you have had to battle the tall poppy spirit that has sought to cut you down and enlisted you to cut down your brothers and sisters, but those days are over.

For now, I am going to end that assignment once and for all by raising a generation of mothers and fathers who will break the orphan spirit that has kept this land bound. Aussies, it's time to REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!

Other believers are not your enemy. You can stir up so much strife and witchcraft against each other through minor disagreements of methods or territorial mindsets that you can be pulled away from doing real kingdom. Battling each other is not doing kingdom. It's an orphan spirit.

You can't keep getting swept up into a leviathan agenda that twists words against each other and Brings a brassed heaven in your city.

Do you want revival? Bless each other. Pour into each other.

PROPHETS - THIS IS NOT YOUR NAZARETH

When we left Australia years ago, I said to the Lord, Australia is my Nazareth; it has chewed me up and spat me out. Then I said, "When will true apostles and prophets be welcome in their homeland? And the Lord said to me, "When their ships of religion run aground, they will no longer reject my prophets, but they will seek them out."

So the prophets had been in hiding here, silenced here, or taken their voices overseas. But recently I had a dream where I saw an American Eagle and an Australian Eagle together. And the Lord said to me, "Your days of speaking just to America are over. I am raising an Eagle company in Australia because the ship has RUN AGROUND."

The next day, Therese Engle gave me a painting of two eagles, one of which was given to her by a First Nations woman in New Mexico. One was the American bald eagle, and the other was the Australian wedge-tailed eagle.

Prophets in the house, you need to rise. War eagles, this is your time.

Shake off the muzzle of Jezebel!

The Church needs your voice!

First Nations voices rise up!

And watch as even pharaohs seek you out to interpret the dream that saves a nation from famine. I heard the Lord say OWN IT JOSEPH. STOP APOLOGIZING FOR IT JOSEPH!

You keep dumbing down your voice and apologizing for what I give you. But it's time to shake off the fear of man once and for all and be the voice I have called you to be.

WILD BRUMBIES

I have a word for the wild brumbies... It's time to leave obscurity. Brumbies are the descendants of escaped or lost horses, dating back in some cases to those belonging to the early European settlers. You have escaped a religious environment, been rejected from one, and lost yourself along the way..

But it's now time to join the fight for our nation.

Like the light horseman of the battle of Beersheba in 1917, you know there is a call in you to push through the opposition both internally and globally and be the breaker God has called you to be. Just as those 800 lighthorsemen charged over the desert plains that early morning, breaking the defense of the city and taking it back, you have a calling to go before the rest of the Church and take back what has been stolen personally and globally.

Take back the wells.

You can't be tamed anymore. You can't hide anymore. You can't apologize anymore. When we bumped into Lou in 2018 he told us how Australians go ahead of the pack to clear the way. Australia you are the wild brumbies called to rise up and clear the road preceding this great move of God.

Will you rise up, or will you hide?

Will you appease the current system or build the new? Will you be silent or be the voice of the one crying in the wilderness?

No more compromises.

No more selling your birthright for acceptance.

You are Jeptha from Judges 11, who was the captain of a band of outcasts who saved a nation. This is your moment.

A NEW ANZAC ALLIANCE

For in this hour, I am breaking the illegitimate handshakes that have been made by people in power and leadership that I didn't ordain, and I am setting a new alliance of a pure-hearted company that seeks only to build my house, says the Lord. This is the alliance of the new Anzacs - the remnant in our nations coming together as one again.

It's time for my wild horses to rise again and the nation of Australia to leave the tomb and be the fresh song and sound that rides the wave of revival and impacts the nations.

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

THE RISE OF THE HEALERS

By Nate Johnston • June 13, 2025

I believe we are in a window of time right now where God is turning the institutional church back into a hospital again. Just this sentence alone feels like a deep branding upon my heart because I’ve seen it in dreams increasing over the last year - a wounded and battered church and a bound world, but who will restore them? Recently, the Lord spoke to me through a personal experience. I had to go to the dentist for some intense tooth pain, and after visiting two different places neither would fix the issue. I knew there was something prophetic in it. Then the Lord said to me, “Many of my sick, broken, and demonized have been coming into churches, but they are not being delivered or set free.” Ah...there it was. But right now, God is raising up the healers again In a time when the earth more than ever before needs to see the rise of a healing church, a hospital church. Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free!

STUCK IN LAST SEASON’S BATTLE BONDAGE? HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU BEHIND!

By Nate Johnston • June 10, 2025

As I stood on the rocks at Pirates Cove yesterday, watching hundreds of people being baptized, I was overwhelmed by what I was seeing. History yet again was being written. I thanked God for the hunger that was present that day and the day before when we gathered - the countless people encountering the presence and power of God. Clearly, God is moving right now on the earth in a new and fresh way. But as I stood there, these words suddenly rose in my spirit - “He leaves no one behind” It rocked me thinking about the seasons in my life when I felt lonely, abandoned, and lost when people around me were experiencing the opposite. It’s easy in moments of heartache, hope deferred, and deep brokenness to feel like you’re the only one going through it. It’s easy to feel like others are advancing and thriving while you’re still stuck, and still broken. But I believe God wants to encourage those who feel stuck this week, those who feel left behind in the past seasons battle and battle weariness and bondage. Those who feel unable to move forward because of pain from the past and the wounds it inflicted. God is not going to leave you behind! I’m reminded of the man who sat by the Pool of Bethesda because he couldn’t walk. “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years… Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.’ At once the man was cured” — John 5:1-9 That pool was surrounded by people who were sick, lame, and broken down, all hoping to be the one who got their fresh start. And right now in the midst of revival fires beginning to burn and something fresh that God is doing, many still feel stuck. David said it well in the psalms; “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” — Psalm 13:1 And like David many are saying; God, I don’t feel like I’ve moved anywhere. Nothing has shifted for me. I’m still dealing with the same situations, the same lack, the same health problems, the same relational and family issues. God, have You forgotten me?” But just like the man at the Pool of Bethesda, God did not leave him behind. Jesus went to him directly, healed him, and gave him a new beginning. Think of the woman at the well. “A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’— John 4:4-7 She felt judged, abandoned, and lonely yet Jesus met her in that very place. He leaves no one behind. So I prophesy over you this week - You are going to have encounters with Jesus, where He reveals His heart to you in the very place you feel stuck. You’re going to experience the breakthrough power of God in your life, power that will shift you out of pain, brokenness, and those continual cycles of dysfunction, addiction, and torment. The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1 And right now many are carrying the spiritual bondage from past seasons and it feels like a massive blockage in the road but they just don’t know how to get rid of it. It’s heavy, it’s like a poison that won’t seem to flush from your system. It’s got its roots in deep but it’s no match for the power of God. In a moment the Holy Spirit can take an axe to those obstacles. Right now as I’m writing this I see them in the spirit like bricks cemented in but the Lord is right now shaking them loose! They must go! Every demonic spirit hanging around you trying to keep you tethered to bondage leave now in Jesus name! Shame go! Unclean spirits leave! As we were leaving the gathering on Saturday (the day before Pentecost Sunday), I met an amazing woman of God. I got to witness her encounter Jesus in a powerful way. We saw God completely set her free from a demonic assignment that had been following her around. Then, I got to take part in her baptism there at the famous Pirates Cove. I could feel it - she had felt a little left behind. I hadn’t prayed for her that day. Yet just as we were walking out, God ordained that moment. It was her time. I felt the loving compassion of God so strongly because I’ve been in those moments. Moments when I felt forgotten. When it felt like no one saw me. But friend He sees you. You are not left behind. I imagine the day when the believers were in the upper room. They came out speaking in tongues. Yes, some mocked them. But imagine if you were one of the 500 originally there and the enemy lied to you, and you left the room too soon. You would have missed it. “God, I’ve faithfully served You… and I missed it?” Ouch… that is it right there. So many people feel like that right now. But the Lord wants you to know - You are seen. You are not forgotten. He will not leave you behind. Right now, He is rescuing you from the grip of that past season and ushering you into a new one even as you read these words. I command every chain, every tie to your past that’s held you back to break NOW in the mighty name of Jesus. And I pray that ALL yokes break off your life, and that the Holy Spirit fills your heart and cup anew in Jesus’ name. Now watch this week as God reveals himself to you in a new way. Through dreams. God kisses. Signs of His goodness. Your old chapter has ended. It’s time to step into the new.

THE RISE OF THE HEALERS

STUCK IN LAST SEASON’S BATTLE BONDAGE? HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU BEHIND!

By Nate Johnston • June 10, 2025

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025

I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name!

WHEN JEZEBEL SENDS YOU INTO ISOLATION

By Nate Johnston • June 3, 2025

One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name.
