IT’S TIME TO LEAVE THE CAVE

It’s now been about 10 days since I had a dream where I was holding Charlie Kirk's baton, and it said “truth” on it, and it broke in two. One piece said “sonship,” and the other piece said “deliverance.”

I knew this was where the Lord was speaking to me about how we were about to see the spearhead of truth that’s being championed in the nations break and turn into movements of the Father’s heart and the Spirit of Adoption over the land, bringing deliverance to a generation that had been blinded by the lies of the enemy.

However, I had another dream this morning, as we had just landed back in the US. And the dream was that I was handing out batons, hundreds at a time, and they were grabbing them and running with them.

I didn’t recognize any of them, so I said, “Who are you?” And they said, “We’ve been hiding in caves, but now we know it’s time to grab these batons and run.”

Each of these batons had different words on them. Each had different messages and different spheres that God was calling them to, but they were all highly impactful missions.

I read “nations” and “schools and universities.” One said “abortion,” another said “rescue the LGBTQ.” Another said, “purify the Church.” Another one said “Acts,” and I knew all these batons were the Lord giving people the fiery messages on His heart for the hour, to go and run with them.

And I woke up from the dream knowing this was an Elijah moment. I knew that this was an hour where the Church is in a Mount Carmel moment. [1 Kings 18:16-45]

It’s not political. It’s a battle between good and evil. It’s a battle between the true Church and the prophets of Baal, and the Jezebelic culture that’s been accepted in society.

I knew that this was a representation of the hour at hand, where the Church has been hiding from its true core message, yet God was raising up these fiery voices.

And the word I kept hearing was “unexpected.”

So let me prophesy:

God is raising up unexpected prophets. He’s raising up unexpected voices. He’s raising up fiery ones, who right now are in a wrestle because they’ve received a fresh hot coal on their tongue for this hour, but aren’t sure what to do next.

You know you’ve been in hiding. Slumber. Endless attack. You know you’ve been in a place where timidity and the fear of man have run your life for so long. You’ve been in a place where the enemy has tried to place you in bondage or cause you to retreat because you’ve been going through your own battles that have tried to sink you.

The cave represents not only fear and survival mode. It’s the place where you crumble and shut down because the inward battle has been so fierce.

The battle on your mind. Your health. Your finances. Your marriage. The cave feels like a temporary shelter in a storm, but it’s also where you can die if you don’t eventually break out.

But now is the time! The Lord is saying, “Come out of the caves. Come out of those places of obscurity. Come out of survival! Come out of fear of man!”

It’s time to pick up your baton and run!

That doesn’t mean you need to be loud or arrogant. It doesn’t mean that you have to sound like everybody else. But it does mean you need to rise. It means the Lord is calling you to be a mouthpiece for this generation.

“Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:18

The Lord trusts your voice because you haven’t defiled your tongue by using it as a voice for culture when it mattered.

You didn’t fall prey to the pressure from Jezebel to virtue signal when the mob gathered around you with their pitchforks.

In fact, it was costly for you to do so, and it alienated you and isolated you. But also protected you for this moment now.

I just keep seeing these batons before me, and as you grab them, there’s going to be an anointing and a grace that comes over you to step into this.

And the Lord says that the hour of just building ministries and movements is over. We’re now in a moment of revolution, where the Lord is actually giving revolutions to people. This is where you’re going to carry a rallying cry, and people will run to you and spearhead this revolution with you.

We no longer need nice, neat little ministry expressions. We need impact. We need power. It’s a rescue mission right now. The message God has given you is not just for the sake of having a message. It’s for the sake of rescuing the lost and the broken, and realigning the Church back to His heart.

And I especially feel like this word right now is for those who are feeling lost and wondering where to go and have been stuck for a long time, or in a waiting period.

The reason you’ve been in the waiting period is that you’ve been in a season of deep personal change on all fronts. Trust me, I can relate to this!

It’s been all over makeover! It’s been a mantle change, an identity change, and a deep soul cleansing. It’s been a major upgrade.

Why? Because the Lord is calling you into a deeper place of anointing and unction. And that’s why there’s been so much warfare against you in this season, because God has been getting you battle-ready for a battle season.

And there’s been a lot of pressure around you, but you do better when there is some pressure. This may not sound encouraging for a moment, but it’s true, and when you have pressure around you, it draws out the Holy Spirit in you. It draws out the ferocity in you. It draws out that anointing that’s in you to break chains. So while you’ve been going through a warfare season, it’s only drawn out who you really are.

It’s drawn you out of the cave of survival, mental shutdown, and trauma that the enemy has had you in.

So I want to encourage you today to keep surrendering and laying aside all of the frustration and the feeling of just being lost in this season because you’re not lost. God is getting you ready.

Maybe you are reading this and you don’t feel ready…that’s ok.

Maybe you are reading this and you still feel really tired and unmotivated.

And I want to encourage you today to lift your voice. It starts, firstly, in prayer and worship.

Get back to the secret place. Get back your prayer life. Fight for that. We will be praying for you!

And then when the anointing hits, you experience the truth that when we are weak, the Holy Spirit is strong [2 Corinthians 12:10]. He will take you beyond what you are capable of in your own strength. He will put a burning inside you to begin to speak the things that He gives you.

Yes, you are leaving the cave, mighty voices, because it’s time we rattle the chains of the enemy and take back the high places.

This is a personal and global Mount Carmel moment, and we need the hiding ones to emerge.

The remnant are the specialists for the hour because they have been set aside and purified.

You are transitioning from cave dwelling to mountain-top occupancy, to being an “unexpected voice” for the hour.
