THERE IS HEALING OIL AT THE NEW TABLE BEING SET
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” - Psalms 23:5
We are truly in the days of new wine and the Church leaving religion behind to be THE BRIDE.
I wanted to share a small update with you all, a longer one to come. I also want to prophesy over you today while it’s fresh in my spirit.
We held our first “Come To the Table” Thanksgiving feast on Sunday night. The Lord gave Christy and I this dream many years ago that in order for the Church to begin to step back into being who She was called to be, we needed to get outside of the four walls as an act of intercession; that we were overturning the tables of the institutional church culture and getting back to being the Bride. So on Sunday, we gathered together with over 130 people and did exactly that.
As we sat down at the table, you could feel both the excitement and freshness, but also the subtle fear: “Ok, what do we do here?”
You see, people are used to going to a service, attending events, but are not used to simply being at the table. We have been watchers and attendees, and lost sight of the beauty and simplicity of fellowship and the breaking of bread. We've forgotten what the Feast of the Lord looks like.
So on Sunday night, the presence of God flooded and filled the place, and people were across the table from each other, prophesying over one another, and praying for each other. We took communion and said this was an act of intercession. This was an act of turning over the tables of religion and setting a new table for the Church. And I prophesied that a new day had just begun. It was a demarcation point declaring over the Church, the global Church, that we were leaving the days of the lonely, isolated institutional model, and we are stepping back into being the true Church of Acts 2.
I believe we're in the beginning days of it, and I feel to release this over you too.
You see, it's easy for us to look at that and go, “Wow, that's great. That's great, Nate. It's a great event you guys are doing, and I believe it. God's doing something.” But this is what you need to know: that right now God is overturning tables in your life you don't even know about. He's overturning areas of bondage that have been affecting you for years. Right now, Jesus is ransacking the tables that have been set up as strongholds in your life, keeping you in bondage, and He's bringing you to a place of freedom.
God is right now overturning religious structures, bondages, strongholds, and areas that have kept you in a box. Things that have contained and imprisoned you to mindsets, generational curses, familiar spirits, Jezebelic assignments, things in your life and past. And the wolves and the foxes that are trying to steal from your vine. God is dealing with all of those things. God is in the midst of your life, and He's overturning those tables.
Can you see it? That's why you're feeling so much resistance.
That's why you're feeling tension. That's why you're feeling like you're in the midst of battle, because that's right, the Kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness are warring majorly for your future, for your destiny, and for your legacy. That's what God's doing. Don't miss this moment. Don't overlook this moment. Don't think it's just a season of warfare. It's a season of occupation. It's a season of increase. It's a season where He’s stretching forth your tent pegs.
And maybe in this season, as we lead up to Thanksgiving, God is speaking over you, as you come around the table, “I'm going to bring healing, I'm going to bring freedom, I'm going to bring deliverance.”
I was so in awe of what God did in our midst that night we gathered together.
I heard the Lord say that I had to do Psalm 23:5 as a prophetic act. Going around, Christy and I anointed them all with oil, declaring that God was seating them at the table and anointing them with oil in front of their enemies, or in this case, in front of the enemy, as a declaration that it was finished, that the assignment that had come against them, their lives, their families, their marriages, was coming to an end. God was birthing the new thing at the table. The very thing that was a stronghold would now be a blessing as God re-established the table and ushered them into a new season.
And I feel today to declare the same thing over you. Over this week of Thanksgiving, God is birthing and establishing something in you and your family.
Maybe this is difficult to believe right now, because all you're seeing are obstacles. Maybe right now all you're seeing is the bickering, the fighting over the table, the strife, the division, the chaos. The enemy is warring against you, but I want to decree and prophesy over you that God is overturning the tables of the enemy. He's overturning those strongholds, and He's bringing you into victory. I pray and prophesy this over you right now in Jesus’ mighty name.
