PROPHESYING THE BREAKING OF CHATTER, CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES, & THE WAVE OF VICTORY

PROPHESYING THE BREAKING OF CHATTER, CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES, & THE WAVE OF VICTORY

In the last week, I have felt the Lord’s call to His prophetic army to arise and assemble, shake off the dust of the onslaught, and press into what God is doing because many have been lost in the swirl, caught up in the fight, and have lost their focus and purpose. I have been sensing the mental warfare that has slowly begun to take the sword out of the mouths out of the prophets and send them into defeat and deep discouragement. I have sensed that so many of those on the frontlines have been coming up against unfathomable opposition, words, and accusations, and slander that has reaped chaos in homes, marriages, and relationships. In the midst of all of those God gave me two dreams I want to share. If you are needing prayer to break this demonic agenda and take back the airwaves, your ground, get peace and clarity again, and step back into the current of the outpouring of the spirit then this word is for you.

THE DREAM OF THE 2 ND HEAVEN BATTLE

Last week I had a dream where I was witnessing a 2 nd heaven battle that was horrific. It was a battle not of two sides but a battle involving many different armies all colliding in a bloodied battle of ideals, opinions, and beliefs. What shocked me was that I could distinguish that some of these armies were believers that had become caught up in the wrong fight and were battling in the same way that the world was. As I was watching this scene I could sense that this was the fruit of the mainstream media and the demonic principality behind it mass hysteria and onslaught. The battle was causing a flood of witchcraft to permeate the airwaves and release a global cloud of confusion and haziness that was blocking the heavens in sense. When I woke up I felt a deep travail for the church and began to prophesy “THE WITCHCRAFT NEEDS TO STOP NOW IN JESUS NAME!” and then I logged into my social media accounts and started prophesying this over every platform, then over the world news stations.

In the confusion and chatter the enemy has stirred up the righteous to pick up the stones meant to be hurled at the giants of our day, but instead, the church has picked up these stones and started hurling them at each other. We must get our eyes off the diversion right now because it is a trap of the enemy so that we don’t take up our posts and take down the giants that are blocking, defying, and trying to prevent the church from seeing the breakthroughs and move of the spirit that we have been prophesying we will see. We have been the laughing stock because we have forgotten who the real enemy is. We have become so consumed with the political and culture war that we have stepped onto the battlefield and out of the place of effective intercession and prayer.

LOST IN THE CHATTER & SHIPWRECKED ON A FALSE NARRATIVE

As I was prophesying I could see the swirl in the spirit. It was messy and a spiritual conflict just like my dream where the enemy had roused up fear, anger, and hate and caused people and groups to fight against one another on another level. This year there has been so much witchcraft swirling because of this and so many that have been feeling the effects of the chatter and it’s beginning to take its toll. Deep discouragement and defeat, confusion, grief, fear and bombarding mental warfare, headaches, and wanting to give up. People have become so caught up in the enemy's narrative and have forgotten or not known what the script of heaven is for this hour, and become shipwrecked and lost in the swirl and confusion of the storm. But Holy Spirit is going to clear that today. I pray over you, your home, and the nations that the witchcraft stops now in Jesus' name!

“But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refute every accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindication is from me,” says Yahweh” Isaiah 54:17

MEDIA WARFARE, THE SHIFT OF POWER, & THE RISING MEDIA ARMY

As I continued to prophesy I saw that there was coming to a shift to the media mountain.. I saw the eyes of the Lord staring at the media of the world and His eyes burned with a Holy Justice and I knew it was a reckoning day for the media of the world that has lied, twisted, and skewed the truth for far too long. In the absence of the prophetic office taking up their place and influence in governing the airwaves, the counterfeit prophetic has been occupying it. The leviathan, twisting spirit, and jezebel have been lording it over the earth and releasing deception, lies, and demonic propaganda to champion the enemy's causes. It has blinded generations and people groups for far too long but right now God is raising up a prophetic remnant who will take back their birthright.

The phrase that keeps bubbling forth from my spirit all year has been “We must be the new media!” which is timely since we are in the year of the roar, and the decade of the prophetic revolution. There is a Davidic people that are stepping up right now that sound different to what we have been hearing – they are not party prophets but KINGDOM voices. They will be the radical and confronting voice of TRUTH in an age of smoke and mirrors and restore the word of the Lord to the land that has been dry and cracked from the lack of oil and revival rain. They won’t bow down to the cultural kings and gods to appease people for the sake of being alienated or attacked, and they won’t use the arrows of the enemy to fight their fights either. They will be the revolution of clear kingdom voices that EXPOSES deception and points the church and world back to Jesus.

THE 3 rd HEAVEN STRATEGY & THE CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES

“He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!” Ephesians 2:6

As I continued to prophesy I heard a line from the old 90’s song by Bittersweet Symphony: “But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now” and I knew that the Lord was speaking that the airwaves needed to be cleared and cleaned by the SOUND and SONG of the David generation, the worshippers, intercessors, and watchmen who would dare to RISE UP OUT of the 2 nd heaven warfare and into the place of speaking into what God was doing. The media of the world literally operates in the same spiritual realm as the place where angels and demons war -  the second heavens. The word media comes from the word “medium” which means “middle layer” or “middle place” which is the second heavens, but we as the body of Christ cannot operate from the same realm but instead, we must come up higher and release the word of the Lord from our jurisdiction and position “In heavenly places”. That is the place where God is calling us as the church to and WE MUST ASCEND right now if we are going to see the shift we have been wanting to see.

We strategy is simple, we can’t keep wrestling flesh and blood but we must get out of the distraction and counterfeit fight and come up higher and worship, prophesy, and pray in the heart of God into the earth. It is only when we come up higher that we will see what God is doing and not just the chaos the enemy is wreaking on the earth. We must hear and release the solutions of heaven! Let the pure voices arise, clear the air, and reveal the heart of our king in this chaotic time. #wearethenewmedia

“After this, I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1

THE WAVE OF RECOVERY & THE HORN-BLAST OF VICTORY

In my second dream, I was in a house that backed onto the ocean that had these massive 20 ft high glass windows that could see out to the sea. As I looked out I could see that there was a torrential storm taking place and the ocean was choppy and waves were crashing up onto the house and the surrounding coastline. Suddenly Lou Engle appears next to me and he and I start looking out towards the sea and he says “Can you see it?” so I look and I can see that beyond the storm at the back near the horizon there is a massive tsunami wave building and about to crest. The wave wasn’t just a wave of revival and outpouring but it was a wave of justice, redemption, recovery, and the secured victory. It was coming as the answer for the blood of the unborn that has been crying out, the reconciliation of racial injustices, trafficking and the hidden evils that have been hiding in plain sight, and for the blood of Jesus to wash our land. It was the wave that has been contended for generations to see America return to its roots and the nations to the feet of Jesus. Both of us then begin to speak and prophesy to this wave for what seemed like hours and we were cheering on what God was doing and soon lost sight of the storm that kept blowing and swirling outside. Then what happened next was very strange yet significant, but I told Lou that I needed to hold up his arms as a prophetic act as they did for Moses in Exodus 17:12. He agreed and I struggled at first because his arms were so heavy, but as I did a fresh anointing and strength cane upon Lou who suddenly began to prophesy and released a sound that sounded like a horn blast.

The significance of this dream are these points:

  • The house represents the 3rd heaven posture and place of prophetic revelation that can see past the storm and the window represents clear revelation that comes by being in that place.
  • The storm and waves represent the 2 nd heaven storm and the counterfeit movements and distraction trying to get our eyes off what God is doing. It is the old wave that we have to let go of to see the new.
  • Lou Engle represents the global prayer and intercession movement but especially right now the prayer movement for America in this hour.
  • The wave is a wave of healing, justice, redemption, and the returning of the nation of America and the nations to the feet of Jesus. It is the prophesied wave of harvest. This wave is also the undoing of the enemy's plans and every foothold he has had in secret hidden places. The wave is coming to unearth and wash away the counterfeit.
  • Lou’s prayer and intercession over the wave speak of the call to pray and contend like midwives for what God is doing and about to do. The show isn’t over, it's about to begin.
  • Holding up Lou’s arms spoke to me of the joining of the rivers and unity needed right now to pray In what God is doing as well as the synergy of the generations  -  sons, and daughters holding up the arms of the generals and their weighty global visions that are shifting the course of the nations as we speak.
  • It was Aaron and Hur who lifted up Moses arms in Exodus 17:12: Aaron means “mountain of strength” or “high place” and Hur means “Liberty” and “burning one”, which speaks of a generation of presence dwellers and freedom carrying burning ones who will shoulder the load of the fathers in this season and see the promised breakthrough come to pass.
  • The enemy Moses was fighting against in Exodus 17:12 were the Amalekites which represented the spiritual principality that “twisted and wrung” just as the principality of the media does.
  • The horn blast represents the blast of victory, the blast of the announcing the wave, but also the blast of the call to war, and right now that is the call of the hour for the church at this time.

WE MUST KEEP OUR EYES ON THE WAVE, STAND FIRM, & FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS!

“Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again” Exodus 14:13

So let me call you forthright now out of the noise and the distraction, witchcraft, muzzling, chaos, distraction, mind bombardment, and into your position and place on the frontlines as a the new prophetic media army who will STAND FIRM & NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT or be moved by what we see or hear. I prophesy right now for the peace of God to hit you like a freight train, for every bit of noise, chatter, and confusion of the diversion to be cleared, and for you to see beyond the swirl to the move of the spirit about to crash over the nations. I prophesy you are coming out from under the weight of heaviness and weariness and tapping into the easy yoke and potency of your mantle. You are stepping out of the ring where you have been shadow boxing the enemy with every distraction and argument that comes to your door and stepping into your Davidic anointing to take down the giants and strongholds around you and step into the 3rd heaven current of His glory so you can see the ideas, strategies, and blueprints of heaven and speak them forth in Jesus name!  We must look beyond the storm because the wave is coming!!

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025
I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord. They hadn’t seen the fruition of what they sowed. But I sensed the Lord saying: You haven’t seen the next chapter yet. You haven’t seen what I’m doing next. And I truly believe this is a massive prophetic indicator for this season. Many have even been afraid to step into new assignments from the Lord because it feels like, God, how can I step into something new when I haven’t even seen the fruit of the last season? But the Lord is saying: Stop measuring a season by its fruit. As a pioneer and forerunner, sometimes you don’t see the fruit until later chapters. Your faithfulness to say yes, to do what He told you to do, that was enough. But now, you’ve stepped into a new chapter. You’ve got to release the old season. Surrender it to the Lord so you can step into what He’s pouring out now. Grab it with both hands. I believe this vision is also a powerful sign for this moment in history. There’s shaking all around us, and many are afraid of it. But don’t fear the shaking because it’s revealing the fruit. Then I went into a second vision. I saw large storehouses almost like warehouses lining both sides of a freeway. They were being filled, overflowing. I knew I was seeing the fruit, the fulfillment, the fruition of years of prayer, obedience, and contending. I could see the expressions on people’s faces “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would see this day come.” But it has come. And I believe this is what the Lord is declaring: You are going to see the fruit of it. It reminded me of Zerubbabel - the one God gave the signet ring (Haggai 2:23), the one who led the people out of exile and laid the foundation of the temple and also lived to see the capstone placed (Zechariah 4:9). He didn’t just begin the work. He saw it finished. As pioneers, we often feel like we labor and others walk into the fruit. But I believe the Lord is saying: In this season, you’re going to see it. You will see what you gave your yes to. Now let me speak into the shaking for a moment because I felt it was significant that I saw the tree being shaken violently. The tree was being shaken so the fruit could come. Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to fear the shaking when you know that the glory comes with it. And right now, many people are in fear in this shaking because their focus is on the wrong thing. The shaking isn’t here to ruin you, but to dismantle demonic principalities and systems that have oppressed you for a long time. The shaking is here to shake the earth back into order and alignment with the Kingdom and take back ground. The shaking is here to ready the church for harvest. It’s not punishment for us, it’s actually the sign that FRUIT IS INCOMING! And the shaking is right now producing what you’ve been praying for. The shaking is bringing you into breakthrough because you’ve already been through the breaking. This shift that’s happening right now is not a shift into doom and gloom. It’s a shift into bloom and increase. It’s a shift that’s taking you into the ripening, personally and corporately, because you’ve already been through the pruning. You’ve been through the fire, through the adversity, through the dark night of the soul where you wanted to give up, and where everything was stacked against you. So now it’s time for the glory to be revealed because you held on to Jesus through the battle. And God’s about to reveal His faithfulness because you were faithful. He’s about to reveal His goodness in your life because you chose to believe He was good, even when others walked away. You hit your knees when others turned back to Egypt. So today pioneers, look through the right lens. Get back your faith eyes. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the fear. And choose to see not through the eyes of foreboding, fear, delay, and hope deferred but through the eyes of hope again. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 FRUIT IS COMING!

SIGNS YOU ARE LEVELING UP IN THE SPIRIT REALM!

By Nate Johnston • May 7, 2025
You’re starting to notice your discernment sharpening - what once felt confusing is now spiritually clear, and you are trusting your spiritual senses more. You’re beginning to lose your appetite for entertainment and conversations that carry compromise, and what once felt normal now feels spiritually heavy. You’re becoming more intentional about who speaks into your life. You are choosing depth, truth, and alignment over comfort and familiarity. You’re beginning to feel less tempted by old patterns like lust, fear, striving, and insecurity and they no longer have the same grip they used to. You’re starting to recognize spiritual assignments early, and what once blindsided you now gets discerned before it can take root. You’re no longer taken out by witchcraft, gossip, or slander because you’ve learned how to stand in peace and stay hidden in God. You’re beginning to feel the power and authority you have over demonic spirits and strongholds because you’re releasing it right away in hard moments instead of hesitating or shrinking back. You’re starting to refuse to be bullied by people, manipulation, or spiritual assignments the way you used to and you’re standing your ground more. You’re beginning to see the thing behind the thing. Your discernment has sharpened to the point that you recognize what’s masquerading as surface issues. You’re seeing small but significant shifts in areas where you used to be bombarded and robbed, and there’s now fruit where there used to be cycles. You’re beginning to realize that you don’t have to defend yourself. God is your defender, and you’re resting more in that truth. You’re noticing the Jezebel spirit can’t lure you into manipulation, fear, or silence like before and you’re quicker to walk away from the drama and reclaim your voice. You’re starting to speak truth with boldness instead of apologizing for your calling, and you’re stepping into spiritual authority with more confidence. You’re becoming more aware of the orphan mindset when it tries to creep in and you’re rejecting self-pity, comparison, and the need to prove your worth. You’re choosing sonship over survival, rest over hustle, identity over performance. You’re beginning to notice that your spiritual hunger has increased, and you’re craving the Word, the presence of God, and purity more than ever. You’re less shaken by resistance and more aware of your assignment. You see warfare as confirmation of your calling, not discouragement. You’re beginning to recognize when God is promoting you, even when it comes through pressure or pruning. You’re not offended by closed doors, you’re learning to see them as God’s protection and redirection. You’re finding joy in the hidden place. You don’t need the spotlight to feel secure anymore. You’re beginning to respond with spiritual authority instead of reacting emotionally. You take it to prayer before you take it to people. You’re starting to feel a deep shift, less striving, more surrender. Less fear, more fire. You’re not just surviving anymore, you’re starting to rule. You’re not just reacting to darkness, you’re displacing it. This isn’t just spiritual growth. This is spiritual promotion. You have leveled up! Well done!

DON’T LET THE ENEMY ABORT “THE NEW THING” IN YOU!

By Nate Johnston • May 5, 2025
Have you been battling with a sudden wave of discouragement, and attack against the dreams you are carrying in this season? Does it feel like the enemy is trying to make you forfeit them by bringing distractions and voices of fear, intimidation, and caution so you don’t bring them forth? Are you even questioning if you heard right and are even doing what God has told you to do? Sounds textbook for what the enemy does in a birthing season.. Last week, I shared a word about how, in this season, God is birthing unusual ministries and movements that feel unfamiliar and don’t fit the old mold. Many are stepping into assignments purely out of obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense in the natural. These new expressions of ministry break away from traditional methods, and they challenge what we’ve come to define as “legitimate.” It reminds me of when we began our ministry. God called us to train and equip online, back when that was nearly unheard of. At that time, a legitimate school or training ministry had to be run through a church. Because we weren’t, we were labeled rebels, heretics, and lone rangers. But as we remained faithful through the criticism, God vindicated us. He proved, even to some of the loudest voices that we were going to obey Him, not a system and see the fruit from it. John the Baptist birthed his ministry in the wilderness. So did Jesus, He was affirmed by the Father at His baptism and immediately led by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was only after overcoming the enemy there that He emerged in power. You see, the wilderness isn’t a punishment, it’s often the birthing room of the most pure movements because they aren’t birthed in the comforts we are accustomed to. They take radical steps obedience to bring forth. Think of the Covid days where many hospitals had such high restrictions that many babies then were born at home because of it. It wasn’t the norm, but it became the norm. You see, God isn’t birthing the most potent movements in shiny and clean rooms, or boardrooms, but in the messy, the wilderness, the MANGERS! Right now, many of you have conceived something from the Lord. You’ve received a download, a vision, an assignment, a calling, but it doesn’t fit the current mold of ministry. It feels risky. It feels uncomfortable. You don’t have the full picture, just enough to step out. And when you try to explain it to others, you’re met with blank stares, doubt, or even accusations. But hear this: God gives you the seed, not the whole blueprint. Why? Because if He gave you the full vision at once, it would overwhelm you. And if you share it too early, it invites discouragement and resistance that can derail the very thing He’s birthing through you. I had a dream after our most recent gathering in Orange County. In it, I was in a birthing class like a Lamaze class and the atmosphere was thick with fear and nervous anticipation. One woman shared how hard her last birth was and how afraid she was that this one would be the same. Suddenly, a group burst into the room, laughing, mocking, completely unaware of the sacred moment happening. I shouted, “Get out! You’re distracting them!” And they cursed me and said, “What are you even doing? This is silly!” And I woke up with fire in my spirit. The Lord spoke clearly: In the birthing season, you must protect what you’re carrying. Like Jesus clearing the room before raising Jairus’ daughter, not everyone can be allowed into the birthing room. Here’s What the Lord Showed Me About Birthing Seasons: You cannot cast your pearls too early. Sharing the vision too soon can open you up to spiritual attack, discouragement, and mockery that wounds and aborts what God planted in you. Spies sent to extract information will come disguised as caring voices. These may be former mentors, religious authorities, or even well-meaning friends. But they’re there to gather intel to discredit you or twist your assignment into something more palatable to them. Jezebel will rise against it.. The spirit of control and manipulation hates pure, Spirit-birthed movements. And it will often use familiar voices, former leaders, influencers, or spiritual “fathers and mothers”to make you feel illegitimate, rebellious, or dangerous. These are witchcraft assignments in disguise. Provision may seem to dry up, doors may shut. Don’t let temporary lack cause you to question the vision. You’re not seeing fruit yet because you’re still planting the tree. Don’t judge the season by the fruit, judge it by the weight of the seed. And then just yesterday I received another confirming dream - a warning dream from a prophetic friend. In it, people offered Christy and and I the funds to purchase the land we’ve been believing for. But their condition was this: “Do it our way. Make it fit our mold. Make it a church not an apostolic hub” And bit by bit, they stripped the uniqueness from the vision until our friend shouted: “DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL.” That hit me like thunder in my spirit. Weighty, and smothered in the fear of the Lord. And so I say to you, pioneers and forerunners: DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL. Do not compromise the movement. Do not water down the mandate. Do not shift the vision to please men. Do not hand over your assignment to gain comfort or applause. This is not the time to conform, this is the time to protect, guard, and bring forth. What God is birthing through you is pure. It’s holy. It may not look like church-as-usual because it’s not. It’s the Kingdom breaking in. So as you move into this week, I urge you: Shut the door. Guard the room. Listen to the Spirit. Be obedient. You’re not crazy. You’re not rebellious. You’re pregnant with a movement. Birth it purely. Birth it boldly, and don’t be distracted, In Jesus’ mighty name.

WE HAVE TO BIRTH DIFFERENTLY RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • April 26, 2025
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!
