WE ARE IN A GOTCHA MOMENT - THE ENEMY HAS OVERPLAYED HIS HAND & GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA WILL NOT BE OVERTURNED!

WE ARE IN A GOTCHA MOMENT - THE ENEMY HAS OVERPLAYED HIS HAND & GOD'S PLAN FOR AMERICA WILL NOT BE OVERTURNED!

(Transcript of a word spoken on Nov 18th 2020)

As I just was in worship yesterday I began to prophesy “Gotcha gotcha gotcha, the enemy has overplayed his hand!” “Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha the enemy has overplayed his hand!”. And as I began to prophesy this, I began to see in the spirit and I saw that just like in a game of cards his hand was suddenly flipped over, like what you see in the movies where there’s someone who’s been cheating at a game of poker, it was like suddenly you saw the cheat card that was in their hands, and that they have been cheating all along, that they have been doing things in hiding, in secret all along. Then the Lord said to me, “The enemy doesn’t have the cards that people think he does”.

And I heard the Lord say “You are about to see the greatest gotcha moments!” We are about to see the greatest gotcha moments revealed in the earth. We are about to see all the areas and the places the enemy has had his hand in the nations. What I saw then in the spirit, I saw tentacles stretching out from the earth, and it was weaving its way through the nations like a root-system, that was weaving itself through the nations, and suddenly every single area that the enemy had been weaving his lies, was suddenly being revealed, and suddenly being shown for what it was. Every tentacle was traced back to this root. A network of evil assignments suddenly uncovering the source. We are about to see this in the nations. We are about to see where the enemy’s hand.

We need to pray Grace and Mercy over the people, who don’t even know they are puppets right now. We need to pray Grace and Mercy over people, who don’t even know they are on strings right now, and they don’t even know it. They are so many areas within society, and I would even say within the church, they are just people being on strings, not even know they are part of a network, that the enemy has been doing to cover up his game in the nations, and we are about to see that overturned.

THE AWAKENING OF THE CHURCH & THE TALL TREE MADE LOW

Why do I believe that God is about to overturn this? It is because we have never seen such awakening of the Body of Christ. I am not speaking this politically, I am talking about how we as the Body of Christ, have stepped into our awakening in 2020 and call to prophesy and pray, and what has our prayer and intercession done? Our prayer and intercession have just begun to reveal and expose the things that have been warring against the very revival and outpouring that God has even wanting to release on the Earth, and God is saying “It is gotcha time for the enemy. It is gotcha time for where there has been evil that has gone on unchecked and unseen”. For too long the body of Christ has let it happen because we have not dug deep enough to look and see that it is in our own back yard. I keep hearing “The bad tree is being cut down at the root system, and the righteous tree is being raised up” I believe that God is saying that in the nation of America right now, the bad tree is being cut down, and the righteous tree is rising up in America!, In Ezekiel 17:24, he says this:

“All the trees of the forest will know that I the Lord, bring down the tall tree, and will make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.”

I am prophesying over the United States of America right now, that the tall tree is being made low, and the low tree is being made tall. That God is raising up the righteous remnant in America, that we are about to see even in the nations, righteousness that is going to reveal itself, and, it’s going to save the Nation of America and the Nations.

It’s time for righteousness to go forth, to be released in the Earth. I feel like this is also personal for some people right now, I believe this is like the season where you are about to see the exposure of the enemy's hand in different places of your life, and God is about to say “Gotcha!” You have been going through all these difficult areas, the warring against your marriage, family, and your finances, and God says “It’s gotcha time!” and you are about to have that gotcha moment where you see clearly, and you say “I am not going to allow that happen ever again!” I feel like God is restoring the years the locust has eaten for so many people as it is revealed. The scripture says;

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord will deliver him from every single one of them.”

Don’t stop right now. Don’t think, “Well maybe I have just contended long enough, I have prayed long enough and now it’s my time to stop, I need to put my sword in the shelf,” and God says “No, the weapons of My warfare are mighty!” You are about to see the recompense, you are about to see what your prayers have been bringing. You are about to see the breaking of that assignment, that bondage, and those cycles that have come against you and your family and your children and your health be broken in the mighty name of Jesus. I feel like it’s such a tipping point in the body of Christ, such a tipping point, we don’t even realize what our prayers and intercession have accomplished, we don’t even realize what God is doing.

STRENGTH TO THE TIRED AND BURNT OUT

You have said “I can barely make it another day, I am so tired”. There are people who have been feeling extraordinarily tired and weary this season, I want to pray for you. I feel like God wants to release strength. You are about to feel a fresh passion and fresh fire in your spirit. God right now, I ask just for those being tired and weary, for those who have been feeling just like want to believe this but I am just exhausted. God right now refresh the weary, Father even right now they are feeling they are being cut down low, Father you are going to make them high, you are going to restore them, restore Father their youth and their strength, they are going to rise up on wings of eagles, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

UPSETTING THE APPLE CART

There is an overturning taking place in media right now, and the phrase I heard in my spirit was “I am upsetting the apple cart”. The idiom means “to spoil carefully laid plans, to reveal things that have been hidden or things that have been not exposed”. When people say, “don’t upset the apple cart”, it means “don’t go against the flow”. I believe this is twofold, I believe this is about right now that God is saying “I am actually disrupting the flow, I am disrupting the normal way of doing things. I am disrupting the plans of the enemy”. It reminds me of Job 5:12;

"He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success"

I believe it’s almost like a psalm 55 kind of recompense, when there have been things that are lurking behind the scenes, God is literally upsetting the apple cart of the enemy right now. Regarding media, I really felt the Lord speaking to me that we are at the beginning of a reckoning day for media. The media have been operating in the second heaven, jezebelic realm for a long time as the prophets of Baal, governing the airwaves, lying to the world, and disrupting the flow of the prophets. This is partly because the prophets haven’t been speaking and did not occupy this space. The prophets of Baal have taken up an office where they are not meant to, it’s a violation of design.

I believe there is about to be some kind of revealing to the network of lies and deception that God is bringing reckoning to. I believe that where there has been deceit, where there has been deception, where there has been the hand of the enemy actually pulling people on strings, is right now, being dealt with, and God is bringing reckoning to those areas. I believe God is going to put “a spanner in the works”, He is going to reveal the enemy's hand in censorship and the plan ti shut down the voice of the church in this critical time.

God is upsetting the apple cart even in your own life, he is upsetting all those areas where it’s Jezebel’s spirit that has actually been manipulating scenarios around you, and they are about to be broken and severed in the name of Jesus.

THE PROPHETIC UPSETTERS ARE EMERGING

The Prophets are emerging. We are again in the days of Elijah, and the real Prophets are coming out of the cave saying “I am done being fed bread and water in the Cave, hiding from my destiny, and now is my time to come out! I am going to confront the areas that the Prophets of Baal, have been prophe-lying, speaking the wrong things, and just spreading the lies of the enemy, calling good evil and evil good”.

And it’s time the prophets rose up and said things plainly and were not afraid to say it. Even right now I break the fear and the intimidation that’s come against you. I break it in the name of Jesus, and I prophesy that you will rise up right now! I prophesy that the Prophets will rise, that the Prophetic company will be rebuilt upon the altar again in Jesus mighty name. I prophesy famine is breaking off your life, it’s breaking off America, and the principalities that have ruled the Land are being evicted. The veil that is being cast over the nation by the media is breaking right now in Jesus' name. The spell that Jezebel has had over the nation, and over you is breaking right now in Jesus' name. The heaviness that has been against your mind, the heaviness that has been against your voice, the accusation that has been against the body of Christ, is breaking in Jesus' name. The war against your family is breaking, and the war against your voice, is coming to an end, and your assignment begins NOW in the mighty name of Jesus!

FRESH FIRE AFTER THE WARFARE & THE COMMISSIONING IN CONFLICT

I feel like there is a fresh baptism of fire for the prophets right now in Jesus name especially those who have been through intense warfare. There is going to be a fresh ignition and voices are going to rise up from this place of CONFLICT in Jesus mighty name. We will look back, and we will say “2020 was the year that the prophets awoke!” I’m talking about the governmental Prophets.  We have had a lot of prophetic people but we have not had a lot of prophets, and now it is time for the Prophets to emerge, it is time for the strong ox apostles to emerge, those that are not afraid to oppose demonic culture in the land. that time of refining and decision for the church where the Lord is saying “Will you keep having a fear of men or will you stand with my council?” The prophets that have spoken what they have spoken - stand with it! It is not about your reputation. Right now this shaking is the re-establishing of the personal and corporate covenant where God is saying “Who will you serve?”

THE SHAKING & THE RE-ESTABLISHING, & THE MESS

When we were in DC just a few weeks ago I kept seeing the foundations shaking and there was something emerging up from the earth and I heard the Lord said: “I am re-establishing the Covenant of the land with the Lord, I am re-establishing my Covenant with the land of America, I am re-establishing my covenant right now with the land of America!”

“these are put into the fire, and I will refine them like silver and test them like gold, and they will call on my name, and I will answer them, and I will say “they are my people”, and they will say “the Lord is our God” (Zechariah 13:9).

“And I will Establish my covenant (Genesis 17:7), as an everlasting covenant between me and you, and descendants after you, for generations to come, to be your God, and God of your descendants after you”

Right now God is re-establishing your covenant with him. He is re-establishing your passion, he is re-establishing your heart with Him. Right now, America is being re-established, and will not cave in to defeat, and even now I prophesy that America is in its greatest turning to God. Proverbs 14:4 says:

“Where no  oxen  are, the trough is  clean ; but increase comes by the strength of an  ox .”

Right now all we can see is mess but God is re-establishing his covenant with America, and we are in the greatest turning of a nation, to God, and not away from God. “The church is arising, the church is arising and shining (Isaiah 60), and we are going to see the most glorious days come,” says the Lord.

IT’S A ZIKLAG MOMENT – PURSUE AND RECOVER!

We are in a Ziklag moment right now where David and his Men, and they came back after battle and everything was stolen from them and his men began to get soul-sick - they began to get heartsick. Right now that has been happening with many in the body of Christ. Many are saying “we have lost the war, we have lost it,” and they are beginning to get soul-sick because they are not seeing the recovery, they are not seeing the full picture, and they need the prophetic ones to arise, they need the watchmen to arise, they need the intercessors to arise and say “this is our moment, we can’t let go right now, in this moment. We must HOLD OUR POST!”

In 1st Samuel 30:8, God gave David an instruction to “pursue and you will certainly overtake and succeed in the rescue,” and I believe that this is an instruction and a strategy for us right now because God is saying, “I want you to pursue!” The word pursue means to “chase” and I hear the lord saying “I am chasing the foxes out of America, I am chasing the demonic out of America, I am revealing and exposing the demonic and I am chasing it out of America. The foxes are leaving already, they are leaving, they are realizing their hands are fallen and they are breaking off and running out of America!”

THE TAKING DOWN OF GENERATIONAL GIANTS

We are going to remove the foxes, remove the evil, we are going to overtake it and remove it and clear it from the land. Can we actually see the assignment that has been warring constantly in cycles against America and against the nations suddenly be overthrown in a moment by a people that chose to strengthen themselves in the Lord, come before Him and then go and have the bravery and courage to pursue the thing that many generations before them didn’t have the courage to pursue? Yes! What if in this season God is calling us to take down the giants that many generations haven’t done? What if everybody that is living right now is called to take down the giant that other centuries of believers have not taken down? Right now, we are in a moment, we are in a Ziklag moment.

PROPHETS, LOOK A BIT CLOSER, THERES A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL

In a dream recently I saw cogs and wheels turning and as I kept zooming in and zooming in I saw suddenly what had been there that God wanted me to see - it was a small little key, and this speaks about Ezekiel 1:16:

“And I saw something that looked like a wheel on the ground, beside each of the four-faced creatures, this is what the wheel looked like, they were identical wheels, sparkling like diamonds in the Sun. They looked like they were wheels within wheels like a gyroscope”

A gyroscope is a device; in Greek, it actually means “to look”. It’s a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, positioning or an angular velocity. It’s about positioning. I believe it is God speaking to the prophetic people right now in this season that we have to look deeper than we have looked before, we need to dig a little deep not just to see the wheel but the wheel within the wheel, not just the revelation but the revelation within the revelation, and right now in this season, God is speaking to the prophets and He is commissioning all of us to see beyond the realm of sight. He is calling us to live above the second heavens. We have been living and battling with people over opinions; we need to step out of that place and think differently. You can have an opinion but I am telling you something, you are going to lose your calling quickly just hanging out with the demons and angels in the second heaven trying to do their job. Be seated with Him in heavenly places and step out of that place. We need to stop rehearsing the news and calling it prophecy. You can share things but stop rehearsing it and calling it prophecy.

Prophets are the ones who speak the future, they are the ones who speak strategy, they are the ones who speak forth the wheel in the wheel, not just the wheel itself. Prophecy is speaking forth what is happening in the third heavens. We have to see the future. There is an anointing for clarity to see the enemy’s hand when he hasn’t turned it over. There’s an anointing to see the things that have been going on in secret and hidden places.

So, this is my word to the prophets. This week take a look a little deeper. Look a little bit closer and into divine revelation a little further. Strategies are coming, laser accuracy is available because the secret place is open for business and it is your time to step into that place and to see what God is doing. We need to step up higher, we need to realize we are citizens of heaven and that God is going to help us to pray, prophesy, and to speak from a different vantage point.

So if you are wanting clarity, laser accuracy, you want to see the wheel within the wheel, just right now put your hands up to say, “Dear God right now I ask for the wheel within the wheel anointing. We ask for the revelatory anointing. The ‘eyes to see’ anointing. God, we ask that right now Father you will give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear, that Father in this season that our spiritual senses will be on an even greater level of sensitivity but not to the ways of the enemy, not to all the different things that cause us to go into fear and anxiety and the things that may spiral out of control, make us feel defeated. God our sensitivity will be to you, what’s taking place in the heavenly realms. That God, that we will legislate from the highest heaven that we will prophesy from that place and speak from that place. in Jesus mighty name

SLUMBER BROKEN & THE BEGINNING OF A NEW INTERCESSION MOVEMENT

God is waking up those who have been sleeping. Slumber is no longer an option. Being tame is no longer an acceptable option. God is calling forth those who will roar, God is calling forth a remnant who will rise up, God is speaking to the church right now in this hour, he is calling the watchmen to their posts and the midwives to their place where they will contend and see their nation turned to God; their regions turned to God. God is positioning His watchmen and His midwives to contend over local areas and issues as well and He has positioned them to pray.

I feel like there is going to be a whole new intercession movement that even comes into 2021 and it’s going to be a movement of seeing the wells open up in America and the nations, the wells of revival open up again. We are going to contend for the wells, we are going to contend for the places that have been long forgotten, the deep recesses of words, and the destiny that has been forgotten. The ancient things that have been declared over the nations shall begin to be revealed and we are going to see the greatest harvest in history.

We are going to see every thought and demonic force that overshadowed our nation be destroyed. We are going to see eyes open and families begin to worship and come to God as we have never seen before. Jesus, I ask right now for the protection of every single person here. Father your peace, your shalom is over them in the name of JESUS. Raise up prophetic communities, a prophetic remnant, in this hour in the mighty name of Jesus. I feel like God is putting a fresh roar in you. He is putting a fresh fire and fight in you that you haven’t had in a very long time. He is putting a fresh faith in you and HOPE in you in Jesus mighty name.

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!

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!
