A WORD FOR AUSTRALIA - DREAM OF THE FALLING TOWERS

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.

To the pioneers and forerunners who carry the Lord’s heart. To the remnant who are no longer following where man is leading, but are constantly seeking the Lamb - This is a word for you. This is a reminder of what God is speaking to us right now as we step into the new. The Lord keeps saying to me: “Build differently. Build differently. Follow Me. Build differently.” And He is persistent about this because we have been so used to building a certain way. Our mindsets have been shaped by old paradigms, and old blueprints of how we’ve done kingdom and ministry. But as we step into the new things God has placed in our hands, the challenge we will face is confronting the old mindsets. We will wrestle with old patterns, old methods, and old cycles, the ways we previously approached the kingdom, and God is asking us to break new ground and step into a whole new mindset and focus. The word over you is simply—birth differently. And here’s the difficult part; When you birth differently, many around you will say you’re doing it wrong. They will think you are being rebellious, foolish, or unwise. But unless we build His way and steward His mission His way, we risk birthing an Ishmael - something man-driven and powerless. We must build according to the blueprint of God’s heart, not according to proven systems and methods that have lost the wind of His Spirit. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) That has been the trap for many in the past seasons. John the Baptist built differently. He birthed his ministry outside of the city walls. He rejected the religious systems and Pharisaical traditions (Luke 3:2-6). He did what looked simple, grassroots, even foolish, something many would have dismissed as just a momentary uprising, yet it caught fire. John was preparing the way of the Lord. He was awakening people to the transition between old and new wineskins, between old and new covenants. It says, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) John ignited a holy hunger for true kingdom realities that had been buried under religious systems. You, remnant, were not called to tame. You were not called to maintain the status quo. You were called to lead the Church into her truest expression of relationship, intimacy, and becoming the true Ekklesia (Matthew 16:18). This is why we must build differently now. Because as we build, we are also unbuilding. As you establish what God is birthing through you, you are simultaneously dismantling what has been unhealthy, dysfunctional, and demonic. As you build healthy communities, you are unbuilding years of conditioning where the Church was a clubhouse or a hierarchy. As you build healthy leadership, Davidic leadership, you are unbuilding years of Saul-like leadership marked by control, fear, and intimidation. As you build healthy mothering and fathering, you are unbuilding years of Jezebelic influence that has sat at the tables of our ministries. As you build healthy prophetic culture, you are unbuilding the orphan spirit and celebrity-driven ministry. As you lead people to behold the Lamb, you are unbuilding the false idols, false gospels, and false “Jesuses” that have captivated the Church’s gaze. This is why birthing differently takes courage. It takes faith. It takes complete surrender. This week, I felt strongly not just to deliver this word, but to pray for you that God would begin giving you clear dreams and divine redirections. He is going to show you where you need to build differently. Where you must not fall back into the familiar patterns of the past. He will give you dreams, conviction, clarity, and specific next steps. And as you step out in obedience, you will feel the wind of the Holy Spirit behind you. And I prophesy that He will surround you with the right people, resources, and everything you need to walk into the fulfillment of this promise, In Jesus’ name!

Many right now are in a deep healing moment but while it’s intense and consuming, God is not punishing you - He is healing you. He is restoring you from years of suppressed soul trauma and pain from your pioneering journey. This is what it looks like: • Pain is coming to the surface - pain you forgot was even there. • Your dreams are stirring up old topics, old wounds, unresolved memories. • God is bringing back to mind things you had buried long ago. You feel like you are in a midlife crisis but it’s just a mid - calling shift. Out of the old and into the new. You feel deeply resentful of people and people from past seasons—forgive! • You feel discontent and frustrated with everything you once tolerated. • Your emotions feel out of control - volatile, raw, and unpredictable. • You have no patience for meaningless conversations and time-wasting activities. • Surface-level relationships feel intolerable - you crave real connection or none at all. • You feel like you lost your purpose and passion - but it’s not lost. It’s being reshaped. • You are in a deep, holy reset. • Your mind feels messy, unanchored - like you’re not who you used to be. • You don’t know how to “connect with God” the old way anymore and that’s okay. • You need to talk, to vent, to release and you’re not apologizing for it anymore. • You are done putting a religious spin on pain. • You just need to do normal things without feeling guilty. • Kingdom activities that once excited you feel empty and dry. • Old betrayals, mistreatment, and buried anger are rising - the toxins are being purged. • You have no capacity left for anything fake, performative, or superficial. This is not backsliding. This is healing. God is not calling you backward - He is calling you deeper. You are shedding old survival mindsets. You are shedding old wineskins. You are making space for a new move of His Spirit in your life. It’s messy because it’s real. It’s heavy because it’s holy. It’s painful because it’s working. You are being healed and re-formed for a new chapter of healing and WHOLENESS. Stay in the process. Let healing do its work. Let the HEALER do His thing. New life is coming.

I have a prophetic word for those who have grown up under the demonic agenda of Jezebel, and for those raised in narcissistic environments and battled it their entire lives. Yes, the spirit of Jezebel has always had a target on your back because of who you are... Like Agent Smith from The Matrix, Jezebel keeps showing up, manifesting through different people, personalities, seasons, assignments, and alignments to take you out. It’s been the greatest battle of your life: figuring out how to steward your calling, how to be a voice in the midst of relentless attacks and constant attempts to cancel your calling. This spirit has tried to silence you, shut down your voice, reject you, belittle you, isolate you, and keep you in a cave. She’s tempted you to sugarcoat your words, dilute your message, and shrink your fire so you didn’t keep getting in her cross fire. I know the price many of you have paid for pioneering through this—for choosing health for your families, your marriages, and your future. I know the cost of refusing to tolerate her, season after season, and what you’ve walked through for the sake of not giving up on your calling. But in the hardest moments, you chose legacy again and again, yet it’s been costly. Recently, I was praying into this, especially in my own life, because I’ve battled this spirit for as long as I can remember, I asked the Lord, “Will it always be this way? Will I always have to fight Jezebel?” As I was reading through 1 Kings 19 - 2 Kings 10, the Lord highlighted the story of Jehu, the one who took out Jezebel (2 Kings 9:30–37). And the Lord said: “You are the Jehu. This generation is the Jehu generation, rising to confront and take out this spirit.” But here’s the thing: Jehu overthrew Jezebel, but he didn’t reform the land. “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord… he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam…” 2 Kings 10:31 He overthrew the person, but not the pattern. He tore down the idol, but didn’t restore the altar. He left a void, and that void became an open door. Right now, the test of our generation isn’t just about calling out what’s wrong. It’s about restoring the priesthood, rebuilding the altar, and leading the Church back into true worship. Because without worship, Jezebel returns. I’ve seen it in dreams repeatedly, Jezebel overthrown, only to be welcomed back through broken, unhealed, and unprotected spaces. Because where there is no priesthood, no purity, and no presence, she comes back to rule. So I asked the Lord, “What is the key?” He said: “Joash.” The name Joash means “The Lord has given.” The Lord said: “The generation of Joash and Jehoiada is now upon you.” Here’s what that means: Jehu may have exposed Jezebel but it was Joash and Jehoiada who removed her legacy. Athaliah, Jezebel’s daughter, rose to power in Judah after Jezebel’s death (2 Kings 11:1–3) . She was a generational extension of her mother’s spirit. But Jehoiada the priest preserved Joash, hiding him in the temple for six years. When the time was right, they overthrew Athaliah in the temple (2 Kings 11:13–16). That was so prophetic because they didn’t just confront the fruit of Jezebel they killed it in the place of worship, as a declaration: “We are taking this place back for the Lord.” They then led a revival of covenant and worship in the land (2 Kings 11:17–18), restoring God’s people to their true identity. And this is the battle we have today. We are not just confronting Jezebel, we are confronting her legacy, her influence, her strongholds in families, marriages, churches, and systems. But we can’t stop at exposure. We must rebuild the altar, restore the presence, and model the priesthood again. But here’s the word for you overcomers - the pioneers, the forerunners, the ones who refused to bow: You are not doomed to fight Jezebel your whole life. God is raising up a Joash generation, sons and daughters the Lord has given who will see and walk in the fruit from your persistence in battle, because you refused to tolerate Jezebel and have prevailed! Now because of you the next generation won’t face what you faced, because you confronted it, took it down, and established healthy! But here’s the key: You must restore your home, your marriage, your inner world into a lifestyle of worship and the right affections. You must refill the void with presence and priesthood. When we do that, we not only evict Jezebel, we close the door for good. And that’s Joash - living in the fruit of victory with no landing pads for the enemy. No more idols. Compromise. Other lovers. Just Jesus again. So the promise over you is this: You’re stepping out of the weariness. You’re stepping out of the endless fight. You’re stepping out of the cave. And you’re stepping into the fruit of obedience. You’re about to see legacy break forth in your children and those around you. You’ve walked through rejection, isolation, intimidation, and endless assassination as this spirit that tried to shut you down at every turn. But you didn’t bow. You didn’t break. And you prevailed. And now the Lord says - You’re stepping out of the fight and into the fruit. Because you chose wholeness over generational dysfunction. Because you confronted what others tolerated. And because you refused to shut down and be walked over. Your children will know peace where you knew warfare. They’ll grow up in safety, freedom, and peace because you tore up the contract you were born into and started a new bloodline. You were the target, but now you have become the testimony.  You’re going to watch a generation walk in peace where you’ve known warfare. Because you chose to fight, they will be free. So in the days to come watch as you begin to see FRUIT where you only encountered the FIGHT because the tide is shifting mighty ones and you have overcome! “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” —1 John 4:4

I want to release a word of faith and authority over you as we begin this week. As I was praying over this week, I kept seeing this image in front of me of a person that was stuck in a corner with no way out, and arrows were flying at them from all sides. I instantly discerned that what I was seeing was someone who had been in a season where they felt very much like their calling had somehow made them feel like they’ve just been through constant assailing by the enemy, with constant arrows from all sides. Thats where you have felt exposed. That’s where you have felt bombarded. You felt like you’ve just been attacked from every single angle. Then I began to really feel like it was similar to the scripture that says: “But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, ‘Restore!’” — (Isaiah 42:22, NIV) I began to feel authority rise up in my voice. I began to feel an authority saying, “No! This is injustice. This cannot happen. This must turn around now!” Then I began to prophesy: “Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus!” As soon as I said that, Deuteronomy 23:5 came to mind, where it says that every curse turns into a blessing. So I began to prophesy: “Lord, every curse will turn into a blessing. Every curse will turn into a blessing. Every single assignment of the enemy will turn into a blessing. Every area of robbery, every area of financial hardship, every area where the enemy has come after finances, after health - God is going to turn it all around.” And that’s when it hit me - THIS IS UNCTION OF A TURNAROUND! It’s the sensing that things had to shift! I began to prophesy: “Turnaround now in the name of Jesus! Turnaround now in the name of Jesus!” As I began to declare this, I began to see things beginning to shift in the atmosphere. Then suddenly I began to hear all this chatter in the spirit of people who had been worn down mentally to the point where they no longer believed that God could turn these situations around. And I suddenly realized the key: God is wanting to shift and turn around situations right now, but the enemy has worn down your authority and your faith to the point that you no longer believe He can do it. Hope deferred has crept in to such a degree that it’s made it feel impossible that God could move. And so I feel that even right now, God is coming against those mindsets. He’s coming against the fear. He’s coming against the intimidation of the army. He’s coming against the hope deferred that constantly makes you feel like nothing will be able to shift or turn around. He is restoring in you a boldness and authority to begin to speak to the things around you and cause them to be removed and those mountains around you to be cast into the sea. And that’s what God is doing this week. He is hitting up against your mind and the foreboding keeping you captive. You’ve been looking at the obstacles you’re facing right now in your finances, health, marriage, and everything else, and they look like mountains. The Lord says, “Where has your faith gone? Where has your authority gone? Where has your boldness gone? I am your protector. I am your provider. I am looking after you and watching over you. Yes, the war has been constant against you. Yes, the enemy has been trying to wear you down. But He says to you “this week, I want you to do what David did - and strengthen yourself in me!” “I want you to step out of the place of faithlessness and cowering, out of begging for the crumbs under the table” “I want you to shift your mindset, and as you shift your mindset, I’ll shift your circumstances!” “Even right now, begin to break every agreement with fear” “Break every agreement with hopelessness and despair that’s caused you to stop dreaming” “It’s caused you to drop your vision in the dust” “It’s caused you to stop wearing your mantle and slip back into survival mode in a time where I want you to thrive and dream with Me” Then I was reminded of something so special to us. Over the years we’ve experienced this strange but beautiful phenomenon in our lives. Whenever we’re in the thick of spiritual warfare, when we feel like we’re being preached at by our circumstances - that’s when God brings us a sign of His nearness. It happens like clockwork. But it’s so simple that you could miss it if you aren’t childlike. We see ducks in twos and they show up in odd places, at odd times. It’s always just when we’re beginning to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s God’s subtle reminder: “I see you. I’m with you. It’s not over.” But this year, on our anniversary, it was different. Two doves appeared on our back fence and they stayed for a full week. It was as if God was saying: “Watch ME turn this around! Not by night nor by power!” And even though we were still in the middle of the storm the breakthrough hadn’t come yet His goodness showed up as a downpayment. Sometimes, the sign isn’t the full breakthrough, but it’s the reminder that He hasn’t forgotten you, and that the turnaround is closer than you think. There are many right now trying to ask God, “Where are my next steps?” but you’re not thinking with faith, you’re thinking with fear. And the Lord says: “It’s time to break that off. I’m reversing everything that’s come against you, and I’m turning it. And some would say, ‘Could this turn in a day?’ Yes, it can turn in a day. And the Lord says “you will watch in this season, as you partner with Me again not with the accuser, not with fear, not with lack but as you choose to partner again with Me, “You will see every single obstacle and every mountain around you crumble into the sea” But you need to partner with Me again. Will you partner again with My Spirit and reject the patterns and mindsets of this world? It is time to step back into a mind-renewal season that actually brings about the shifting of circumstances. Because the fruit of worry is actually causing that which you fear to come to you. But as you shift out of that, It will cause the fruit of your renewed mind to be that you see the kingdom of heaven invade your world, your lifestyle and you’ll see things shift around in a short period of time.” So give me your heart and mind and I’ll turn around the things around you that have tried to do in your strength and failed, and silence the storm”
