WORD FOR 2022 - A PEOPLE WITH A STORM IN THEIR MOUTHS

Leading up to 2022 I have felt such anticipation about this year. People have asked me one question in a myriad of different ways but essentially “Is this year going to go well or will it be like the last two years?” After sitting with the Lord and letting the dreams, visions, and conversations marinate, let me answer it simply - This year God's heart is to see the church rise as the mighty bride she was called to be. We have the authority and we are the rudder of the ship. Distraction, divisions, and sneaky games have cost us our power and effectiveness, and bowing to culture and media lies has silenced our voices. But no more. I pray this doesn’t just give you information for you to add to your 2022 word repertoire but it’s a word that encourages you, shakes you to your bones, ignites your spirit, and sends you running into the year with a courageous and undignified roar of righteous vengeance.

VOICES IN THE PRESSURE CHAMBER

“But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak any more in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot” Jeremiah 20:9

Before I get into the main word I have to highlight this - for the last few years, many voices have gone into hiding. For many, it was during the initial lockdown of 2020 when the enemy started spinning his web and taking many off course into prophetic diversions and down rabbit-holes designed to silence them. Then the greatest assault of stifling came a year ago during the inauguration when the church and media chased the prophets into hiding.

The domino effect from that has been more catastrophic than we realize. Where is the word of the Lord if the prophets don’t prophesy?

“The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken— who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:8

We have been in what has felt like a global holding pattern as the nations inevitably face the results of a church stuck in the mud of warfare, religion, cultural pressure, and fighting the fires of the enemy's side-show games instead of the real battle at hand. But that is all about the change.

THE STORM-TOSSED & TIRED

“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And your foundations I will lay in sapphires” Isaiah 54:11

Yes, we have been in the storm. We have all felt the relentless winds of the storm, the pressure, the constant lies, and mind games of the enemy in the last two years as the enemy has tried to break us on all fronts.

He has blown in strange, unexpected problems in addition to the butterfly effect of the global crisis we have all felt in an attempt to subtly wear us down and cause us to forget WHO WE ARE.

But while at times it may have seemed Iike the enemy succeeded the Holy Spirit has faithfully taken us into “Elijah in the cave” moments and reminded us who are again. And we are at a global moment right now where God is dangling the keys of authority, sonship, and access to the church and saying “It’s time to get back up and break out of this confined space!

“I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open” Isaiah 22:22

THE EMPTY BUCKET & THE FRESH INFILLING

As I was praying Into 2022 I was drawn to this Image God kept showing me of an empty bucket and knew right away that this bucket represented the season of endless storms, emptying, and reset we have been through in the last 2 years.

The bucket represented a season of extreme emptying out in preparation for something new to fill that same space.

At the wedding feast at Cana, they had to reach empty before the miracle of water turning water into wine could happen.

In 2021 we saw the bottom of that bucket corporately and personally. Many felt themselves at rock bottom and like there was nowhere further down to go.

Many found themselves spiritually, emotionally, and physically spent and like they were waiting for a collapse to take place but God preserved you because something was coming you didn’t see.

You even said, “I feel like I don’t have much left” and this couldn’t be more true because you have been living on the manna of a revelation and encounter that has sustained you throughout that season. But now it’s time to step into something new.

Maybe you have entered into 2022 still staring at the bottom of that old bucket, but don’t be fooled because there is coming an infilling so powerful that it is going to fill you up again and cause you to overflow.

You will look back at the year that depleted you and realize it was the year that made the way for you to walk into such an outpouring of the spirit both personally and through to the world around you.

BREAKING THE CURSES, SLANDER, & ENDING THE GAG ORDER

Because 2021 was such a year of private battles and chatter God has been working hard to get you healed of the bites and the stings.

He has been trying to “unstick” you where the enemy slimed you and tried to stunt you and derail you.

This was a year where you felt like your hair was cut and you lost yourself being caught up in endless distractions and battles but now it’s time to leave that place.

It was a year of restriction and spiritual bullying where it felt like everything you said came under scrutiny and criticism.

It was a year of constant muzzling and suppression of the mighty voice God was awakening.

If you haven’t already shaken off the snake into the fire as Paul did. Shake off the fear of man and the critics' witchcraft.

If you have been silenced in the last year today you need to break off the muzzle and curses sent your way.

What came to harm WILL NOT KILL YOU or your destiny! No, it will not! Shake it off! Shake off the betrayal. Shake off the poison!

I command the muzzle over your voice to break off and the gag order to end NOW in Jesus' name!

Right now God is cleaning off the slime that was hurled at you.

TELL THE CHURCH TO PROPHESY!

A few days after that I was in worship when I suddenly had the Lord speak ”Tell them to prophesy! The answer is in their mouths! The future is in their mouths! Speak what I am doing not what you see in the natural! For many have stopped prophesying and the word must out! Prophesy my bride, prophesy!”

Straight away after this, it was like I was feeling and sensing the hearts of so many believers around the world who just felt disillusioned and faith-tired. Maybe even reading this you felt a sting of it. I get it, I really do. But God is about to give us a second wind where we have felt empty and discouraged from the last two years of standing without results… yet.

Your bucket has been empty. Your belly has not felt like it’s had rivers flowing from it. But soon it will. Maybe you have been through the storm and it’s left you flat. Maybe you have contended and done everything you could do but you have been severely discouraged not seeing breakthrough or any advancement at all.

But the Second wind is coming.. and it’s not going to some light change, but a major life interruption that shifts EVERYTHING inside you and around you.

THE PEOPLE WITH THE STORM IN THEIR MOUTHS

What the Lord said next to me shocked me. He said “You are a people with a storm in your mouths!” and at first I honestly had no clue what He was saying. “A storm? Aren’t storms from the enemy?” Then I found this scripture;

“Behold, the storm of the Lord has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked” Jeremiah 23:19

God is the creator of storms like he is the one who in Isaiah 54 creates a destroyer to destroy the enemy’s plans! You can’t beat that! “But what’s a storm in a mouth mean Lord?” I asked. Then I was led to a very familiar passage in Ezekiel;

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’” Ezekiel 37:4-13

What do we discover here? The word of the Lord is the storm in our mouths! It’s the spirit of God moving upon us and through our prophecies that releases the resurrection power of God into the earth that COUNTERACTS the storms of the enemy!

You have a storm in your mouth! Have you forgotten it?

We have seen the storms of the enemy but I believe we have entered a time where God is revealing his power and glory that will out-do the storms we have seen in the past few years. Do I think the enemy will keep sending his storms in 2022? Absolutely, but it’s time for us to know who we are and that we aren’t helpless to change the things we see.

It’s time for the church to determine the weather Instead of always being the cleanup crew after a tornado rolls in. We are the head, not the tail right?

THE YEAR THE BRIDE SPEAKS UP

“He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver” Isaiah 49:2

Just before Christmas, I was in worship when I saw a glimpse of the scene where Esther approaches the king in Esther 5;

“What is it, Queen Esther? ” the king asked her. “Whatever you want, even to half the kingdom will be given to you.” Esther 5:3

Just as Esther went through the long season of refining and purification to prepare her for her divine appointment, now it’s time for you to come before the king and lift your voice.

We have seen evil after evil and demonic agenda after agenda now It’s time to see Haman hung on his gallows and justice done.

This is an hour that the church can’t be silent. This is a moment that we can’t hide in fear of our lives but we need to boldly come before the throne of grace and walk in the authority we have been given.

This is a year for the BRIDE to SPEAK UP!

This will be a year that you rise above the storm and become the storm.

This will be a year of breaking out of confinement, limitations, and see the end of the gag order.

This is a year to prophesy, worship, and be voices of truth!

We are in the year of double doors opened by the keys of authority we have been given. (Isaiah 22:22)

We are in the year of the keys of David being revealed to the church and a year we use them.

We can’t hide out or lay down in defeat anymore. It’s time to shake our keys and open the doors the enemy thought he locked from our reach.

Even right now God is loosing your voice in a new way. You think you have seen how God can use you but you haven’t seen anything yet.

All the painful process you have been through hasn’t been wasted - watch as God places a strong conviction and anointing upon you to speak the heart of God into this time of history.

Voices of truth need to arise! We must prophesy!

I prophesy - You have been anointed to demolish strongholds with your words and evict principalities!

I prophesy -This is a year that we will see Haman hung by his own noose as we prophesy and worship.

I prophesy - This will be a year that the church shines like never before.

I prophesy - This will be a year of the resurgence of the Davidic worshippers and the releasing of songs of revival that have been held back in the last two years.

I prophesy - This will be a year where our sound will shake cities and nations and the earth will know we are here and the king of kings is with us.

I prophesy - This will be a year that the demons that we’re bothering you in 2021 will not be able to stand being around you because of the ferocity of your decrees.

I prophesy - This will be a year of the fresh utterance as fresh coals are placed on our tongues by the Lord.

I prophesy - This will be a year of the power and glory returning to the church in a way we have not seen!

I prophesy - this will be a year of righteous and bold lions being released into contentious situations on the earth.

I prophesy - this is a year that changes the very trajectory of history as we know it.

For the glory of Jesus alone. Be his voice.

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

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”
