IT’S NOT THE ROBBERY SEASON YOU THINK IT IS…

I see the war that has been at your doorstep.

I see the enemy prowling around like a lion trying to devour you, surrounding you.

I see the chaos that’s come against your home. The restlessness. The anxiety and fear. The sickness. The robbery of your sleep and dreams.

But right now, the thief is being exposed, and the Lord is raising a standard over you and shutting the door on the enemy.

If that is you, let me prophesy over you some truth that came to me this morning as I was waking.

I heard the Lord say, “Nate, get up and pray.”

And as I walked around my kitchen, praying, I suddenly began to prophesy this…

This week, you are increasing.

It's not what it looks like.

It feels like the walls are closing in.

It feels like the enemy is at your doorstep; he's been trying to rob you.

He's been trying to deplete you; he's been trying to drain you.

By all outward appearances, it looks like everything is shrinking in. Doors are closing. Situations are flaring up. Things have been triggered in your heart and life. It feels messy.

You feel tormented, attacked, and war is on every single side. Your robbery has reached an all-time high. Here you are in the middle of 2025, and the year has not panned out anything like you expected it to be.

2025 has felt like a year of depletion and ransacking, like the Amalekites raided your home and took everything of yours, like David when he came to Ziklag.

You have felt soul sick. You have felt lost. You have felt abandoned. You have felt the constant chatter and witchcraft in this spirit coming at you.

You have felt unjustified, slandered, and your name dragged through the mud.

Alone. Destitute. Shattered in spirit.

And yet, I have one thing to prophesy over you today…

You are in a Luke 4:14 moment:

“And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee.”

You are coming out of the wilderness, endued with power.

You were coming out of the battlefield with the power of the Holy Spirit.

You are not decreasing. You are increasing.

You are not going backwards, you are going forward.

This is a season that, while your family has come under immense fire, the Lord says, "I'm using this moment right now of tension to cause you to expand and inherit the places you've been unable to inherit. So stretch forth your tent pegs to the left and the right!”

Take the territory, don't shrink back. It may not look like it in the natural, but it is time for you to expand and to increase, to step out in faith.

“But this is the moment that I've chosen,” says the Lord. “This is a moment, says the Lord, that I've chosen to bless your life, to level you up, to bring you into a new place of authority and power and dominion.

“This is that season,” says the Lord.

Like Jabez prayed;

“‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” - 1 Chronicles 4:10

Yes, this increase is going to come without pain, because you've already been through the pain.

You've been through the seasons of testing and trial, and your heart has been refined as pure gold.

As I was writing this, I broke down in the deepest intercession over you. I could feel the heaviest level of brokenness and defeat of a people that have been battered down and broken for so long.

I hear the cries of people saying, “Lord, I can't get up. I've just been beaten down too much.”

And the Lord says, “Rise, my son. Rise, my daughter. For I'm restoring you and dusting you off from all the years of mental assault and robbery, and you will take back and recover all.” says the Lord. “You will inherit the land that I've given you to inherit, and you'll see the fulfilled promises of everything I've told you would be fulfilled long ago, not just for you but for your children and your children's children. For this moment of tension, it has felt like it's been a personal attack on you, but it's been an attack on your legacy because of what you're establishing and what you're building.”

You are setting the tables you never got to sit at.

You are becoming the mother and father that you never had.

And you are being the revival that you want to see.

So today, hear the word of the Lord…

It's not what it looks like. It's not what you think it is. This is a moment of increase.

This is a moment to get ferocious in faith.

Right now, shake off the bonds, shake off the rags, shake off the words, shake off the heaviness and the anxiety that met you even as you woke up this morning.

Shake it off, get violent in the spirit, and begin to prophesy.

“No, I will not come under the heaviness. I will not stay in bed today or this week. I will rise, and I will roar, and I will prophesy, and I will stretch forth my tent pegs!”

I feel like the Lord is even saying today - “Begin to reestablish your vision and dream with me, even in the midst of what looks like closure and bankruptcy, sickness and affliction, and attack and slander, even in the midst of all of this, remember I am the Lord, your God. If I am for you, who can be against you? Now, watch me turn all those situations around. Cling to me today and this week, and watch me shift it all around.”

And I hear in my spirit, the enemy's going to have to repay. The enemy's going to have to repay joy in health, in finances, and all of those things; the enemy is going to have to repay sevenfold because when the thief is found out, he must repay. And I am here to say, the thief has been found out!

The thief has been exposed. What's been coming at you has been revealed for what it is: the attack of the enemy coming at you from every single side.

Now, you watch, it must shift around.

Begin to take authority today.

Begin to prophesy and declare this: “This thing has to turn around. The thief is being exposed. God is raising up a standard over my life, and this is all shifting in my favor right now as if on a dime.”

Isaiah 59:19 - “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”

1 John 4:4 - “ 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 5:18 - “We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.”

Revelation 12:11 - “They triumphed over him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

Romans 8:11 - “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.”

Deuteronomy 28:13 - “The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.”

Psalm 34:19 - “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all…”
