THE VOICE OF HEALING IS RETURNING TO THE CHURCH! (READ TO THE END IF YOU NEED HEALING)

THE VOICE OF HEALING IS RETURNING TO THE CHURCH! (READ TO THE END IF YOU NEED HEALING)

What I’m about to share with you is less of a prophetic word and more of an invitation, an invitation that I believe God is extending to the body of Christ right now..


It is something that has personally challenged me in this season, where I feel like the Lord is calling us to step into the fullness of the gospel, the fullness of the life of Jesus as modeled in the Gospels. He is inviting us to step out in faith and restore the areas where we are not yet seeing the full outworking of everything Jesus did on the earth.


I’m talking about the ministry of signs, wonders, miracles, and healings.


The Bible says that Jesus healed all who came in contact with Him:


“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” (Matthew 4:23, NKJV)


Jesus brought deliverance to all who were bound:


“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for

God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38, NKJV)


Jesus brought freedom.


Yet, in the last seven to ten years, we have seen a rapid decline in miracles, signs, and wonders in the church.


Many are asking in the church today, why do we even need signs and wonders?


We need them because they remind us of the greatness of God, and they expose the limitations of man.


They remind us that God is all-powerful and sovereign, that He loves to break open the heavens and pour His power into the earth.


We need healings because they are central to the gospel.


When the disciples tarried in Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit baptized them with fire, they received a level of authority and dominion they had not even walked in during the days when Jesus was physically with them:


“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, NKJV)


Yet, the church has drifted from this place, reducing the gospel to an intellectual Christianity, a gospel of talk, but not power (1 Corinthians 4:20).


We have settled for goosebumps instead of the kabod glory of God, the weight of His presence that transforms lives, cities, and nations.


ICHABOD IS OVER


Let me invite you into this story for a moment.


For the last year, the Lord has been speaking to me, saying: “The Ichabod church is coming to an end. The Ichabod church is coming to an end.”


Ichabod means “no glory” meaning there is no outworking of heaven into the earth in any measure. This, in many ways, represents what we are

facing and seeing right now in the current model of the church.


We have leveled off.


We have shut out the Holy Spirit because we are not willing to risk our reputations for the sake of pursuing what people are truly hungry and longing for.


I wonder how many church services the demonized have walked into, only to walk out still bound.


I wonder how many church services the sick and afflicted have walked into, yet were not set free.


I pose this challenge even to myself.


I know that in my life and in our ministry, I have seen incredible miracles over the years. I have witnessed remarkable signs and wonders break out.


But I’ll be honest, there have been moments of deep challenge, moments where I have wrestled with continuing to go after healings and miracles when it seemed like there was such a recession of these very things.


Yet, over the last year, something has been stirring.


I have been having dreams where God has shown me mass miracles breaking out, but not because of a man, not because of a superstar celebrity preacher laying hands on the sick.


No.


These miracles were happening because a body was rising up, a body walking in the fullness of the kingdom of heaven, clothed in the mantle of Jesus, which we have inherited through the blood of the Lamb:


“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV)


A Challenge from the Lord


When we moved to California, the Lord posed a challenging question to me.


He said: “I want you to gather My people. I want you to unite My people. I want you to teach the church how to be the church again.”


Then He said something that rocked me to my core and challenged me deeply.


He asked: “Will you create a space for the sick and broken to come? Will you model the hospital church again?”


I responded, “Yes, of course, Lord.”


Then He asked:


“Will you allow Me to perform signs, wonders, miracles, and healings again?”


Again, I said, “Yes, Lord, I want that.”


Then He asked me:


“Are you willing to step out in faith to see the voice of healing return to the church?”


And suddenly, it struck me what He was truly asking.


He was asking: Would I step out of my comfort zone?


Would I have the courage to pursue healings and miracles again in our meetings?


Would I risk it all to see the fullness of the gospel manifest on the earth?


THE ANOINTING OF A.A. ALLEN


Instantly, I was reminded of a prophetic word that was given to us back in 2022 by the late prophet Jeff Jansen.


At the time, I did not know Jeff personally, but one day he called me and said, “Nate, I have a word for you.”


That year, we were wrestling with our visas. We had returned to Australia because of COVID and were facing a major decision:


Would we relinquish our visas while we waited, or would we contend to steward both Australia and America?


I can’t even tell you how many nights I lay broken before the Lord, asking Him for direction.


“God, do You want us to give up America and just focus on Australia?”


Then, Jeff Jansen called.


He said, “The Lord told me to tell you, it is Australia AND America.”


He continued, “Nate, you asked for the nations, and the Lord has given you Australia and America.”


Then he shared a vision the Lord had shown him:


He saw two large capital ‘A’ letters in the spirit, and they were joined together: A A.


Then he said, “The Lord says your calling is to both Australia and America. And in this next season, the Lord is bringing them together.”


This immediately reminded me of my recent dream of the Frisbee and the Boomerang, yet another confirmation of what God is doing in this

season, moving both nations in synchronicity.


But then Jeff said something clear and profound:


“The Lord showed me two things: The Lord says you must claim both homelands, because He has called you to bring back the voice of healing to the church.”


He continued:


“When you begin your gatherings, when you begin to hold public meetings God says, "I will return the voice of healing to the church. It will be a sign and a wonder of My healing and saving power, which I will reveal through My end-time church.’”


Then he said something that rocked me to my core:


“Just like the two ‘A’s,’ the anointing and faith of A.A. Allen will come back upon a generation!”


That word shook me.


It riveted me.


It convicted me.


It drove out apathy and complacency in my heart, those places where I had wanted to level off.


And in that moment, I said: “Okay, Lord. I don’t know what that looks like.”


I had never considered myself a healing preacher.


I had never considered myself any of those things.


But this was never about me.


It was simply about being willing to say yes to whatever God wanted to pour out.


It wasn’t about a flashy healing ministry.


It was about saying yes to inviting in the broken, the sick, and allowing God to bring healing once again to His church.


For years now, I have been prophesying:


The church will be a hospital again.


The church will be a place for the broken again.


So, what did I expect?


Should I not truly expect that when God gives a word, He will back it up with His power?


“And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.” (Mark 16:20, NKJV)


COMING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS


This is God’s invitation to you, Church.


This is me prophesying that we are about to see a resurgence of the voice of healing in the Church like in the days of the 1940s through the ministries of men like William Branham, but in greater measure.


For Jesus said:


“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV)


I believe we are in an hour of divine restoration.


God is bringing back the voice of healing because right now, when we look at the Church, we see brokenness, desperation, and hope deferred running rampant.


The body of Christ has forgotten what power looks like.


It’s like we’ve been walking in the dark and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen the light turned on.


So what has happened?


We have leaned into the comfort of profound statements and words, but words alone are not enough.


People are over words. They want power.


People are over statements and sound bites. They want to experience the glory of God.


Right now, the Lord is inviting us into a season of the miraculous unlike anything we have seen before.


He is inviting us into a season of experiencing heaven where the supernatural breaks into the natural again.


He is calling us into days where we will no longer simply walk into a church service, hear a good message, experience a great time of worship, and leave unchanged.


Instead, He is inviting us into realms of His glory where anything is possible again.


Where God commissions His Church as brokers of the power of heaven.


THE MISSING PIECE


Recently, we had Lou Engle over, and Christy had just put up some photos of Jesus walking in the wilderness on our wall.


On the last photo, the words of Luke 4:14 were written:


“Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about Him spread quickly through the whole region.” (Luke 4:14, NLT)


For about 40 minutes, we spoke about the connection between:


Esther 4:14 – Born for such a time as this


And Nehemiah 4:14 – God rebuilding His Church, the family


As Lou walked around our living room, praying with us, his eyes landed on that photo of Jesus walking in the wilderness. He stopped, then he said: “That’s it. That’s the missing piece.”


I believe we have been in a wilderness as a Church. God has been testing us.


What do we truly want?


What will we trade for?


Will we continue to allow counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders?


Will we keep settling for the diviners and the showmanship of false deliverers?


Will we continue to tolerate that which carries no power and no true transformation?


Or will we be a Church that leans back into the mantle of the Holy Spirit, the anointing for power?


Because I’ll tell you this, I am longing for the days when the power of the Holy Spirit will break out in the Church again and we will no longer just talk about the gospel but fully demonstrate it. The true and authentic. 


And the invitation is actually simpler than you think. It’s simply a YES to the Lord.


THE RESTORATION OF HEALING


Maybe you’re reading this, and it challenges you but at the same time, it excites you.


Because you’ve experienced hope deferred.


You’ve experienced robbery in this past season.


Let me prophesy this over you:


“I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.” (Joel 2:25)


God is restoring what has been lost.


Maybe this is hard for you to read because you have endured sickness and affliction.


Maybe it triggers something in you because you have yet to experience the power of God in this way.


Let me declare this over you:


The voice of healing is coming back to the Church.


And even now, in the place where you are, will you say YES to the Lord?


Will you say yes to being a conduit of His power? Will you say yes to stepping out, laying your hands on the sick, and watching them recover? Will you say yes to the fullness of the gospel? Because we must not forfeit the power that is needed to back up the talk in this hour.


My friends, the voice of healing is coming back.


The Ichabod days are over.


The hospital Church is rising.


And it’s time to see heaven invade earth once again.


A PRAYER OF HEALING & DELIVERANCE


I don’t want to talk about this without giving you an opportunity to receive prayer for healing, for deliverance, for breakthrough.


So let me ask you:


Do you have a sickness, infirmity, or affliction in your body right now?


Are you battling something that has tormented you for far too long?


If so, let me pray for you.


In the mighty name of Jesus, be healed right now!


I command your body to come into alignment with the Word of God, which declares:


“… by His stripes, you are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)


I command every demonic spirit of affliction that has been tormenting you to leave NOW in Jesus’ name!


Every disease, every assignment of the enemy to keep you in sickness I break it now by the blood of the Lamb!


If you have been experiencing oppression, torment, or any level of bondage, I want to pray for you right now.


Lord, right now, I bind every assignment of oppression and demonic torment that has been coming against them.


I command that spirit to leave NOW in the name of Jesus!


For Your Word says:


“… if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)


There is no distance in prayer.


And as I pray, God, I ask that Your healing power would flow through the airwaves and touch their bodies right now setting them completely free!


I command headaches to leave!


I command issues of blood to be healed!


Lord, I ask for terminal diseases to be reversed and healed completely!


I ask for backs to be straightened, broken bones to be restored, and for metal implants to dissolve supernaturally!


I ask for eyesight to be restored and hearing to be opened!


Lord, I pray for teeth issues to be healed.


I pray for deaf ears to open and for blind eyes to see!


I pray for every person bound by affliction to be set free today!


Every sickness, affliction, and infirmity that has warred against God’s people for too long be broken NOW in Jesus’ name!


Lord, awaken Your people to the fullness of the finished work of the cross!


Let the Church once again be a hospital, a place where the sick come and are made whole.


And let our lives be the same.


Lord, today, reveal to us the power of the cross that we carry.


Give us boldness and courage to step into the finished work of the cross and the greater things that Jesus said we would do.


In Jesus’ name Amen!

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! 

SIGNS THAT YOU ARE HEALING

By Nate Johnston • April 26, 2025
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.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BATTLED & SURVIVED JEZEBEL

By Nate Johnston • April 23, 2025
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

IT'S TURNING AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • April 22, 2025
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”
