Recently in worship the Holy Spirit began to speak to me, and He said “I am doing a new thing, do you see it? I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Do you see it??” just as it says in Isaiah 43:19.Then He said it again “Nate I am doing a new thing; do you SEE IT?” and I replied, “Yes Lord I see it!”. Then He said “Nate, I am doing a new thing, do you see them?” Then my spirit was quickened to the next chapter of Isaiah where it says:
“I will pour refreshing water on the thirsty and streams on the dry ground. I will pour out my Spirit on your children, my blessing upon your descendants. They will spring up like grass blanketing a meadow, like poplars growing by gushing streams” Isaiah 44:2-3
Then I understood what He was saying. Not only are we in a NEW ERA, where God is doing a NEW THING, but WE ARE the new thing! Wow! So, I feel to prophesy this over you and share what I believe God is wanting to do through you in this special time we are alive in.
THE FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT UNLOCKING AND ACTIVATING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND RESERVED FOR NOW
As Isaiah 44 says, it is the outpouring that causes people to spring up and emerge, and right now there is a fresh outpouring of Holy Spirit that is healing hearts, refreshing hearts, and igniting the new that has been lying dormant and hidden up until now. Just like Jesus at the Cana Wedding, God has hidden the best wine to come forth from you NOW, and your greatest season of impact NOW. This will be the season that you say “I did not even know that was in me!” yet the fresh touch of the Spirit upon your life is causing that which has been unseen to be seen, and that which has been not ready to suddenly be ripe. And the Lord says to you today “NOW YOU ARE RIPE, NOW YOU ARE READY, DO YOU SEE IT, DO YOU BELIEVE IT?”
CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS SPRINGING UP OUT OF THE MESS AND CHAOS?
I heard the Lord say “The increase you asked for is here, can you see it yet? The new thing you wanted; can you see it? Because I am shifting and moving every area of your life to accommodate the magnitude of it. I am enlarging your capacity to carry it, steward it, and run with it. I am challenging complacency and defeat so you can fully embrace it, and I am overturning the enemys plans to keep you stagnant when you asked to thrive. But can you see it?” And right now, I feel like God is giving eyes to see what He is doing in your life, so you diagnose your surroundings and circumstances correctly. Look beyond the rawness where your heart is trying to play catch up to all the moving pieces. Look beyond the extreme discomfort, the loss and sudden closure of relationships and the past season and you’ll begin to see NEW LIFE blossoming forth!
THEY WILL BE CARRIERS OF A COMPLETELY NEW REFORMATIONAL BLUEPRINTS THAT ARE GOING TO SHAKE THE EARTH!
Do you realize what God is preparing you for right now? Do you realize that you have been prepared and groomed for right now? As I was writing everything down that God was speaking to me, I saw a vision of tens of thousands of envelopes coming out of heaven and as they hit the ground, they cracked it open and sent shockwaves through the earth. These envelopes were not just the new orders, assignments, and missions being delivered to you right now, but I knew that they contained ground-breaking revelation, language, & expressions that are going to reform, shift, re-shape, and change the landscape of Kingdom as we know it. But I believe I saw them as envelopes because they are invitations to those hungry enough to allow God to dramatically interrupt their plans and usher in the new. The new is exciting and full of wonder but it is extremely inconvenient if you want to stay comfortable and not have to adjust every part of your life to it. Will we be offended when it comes or will we choose to be the variable that bends to it?
THE EMERGENCE OF TREND-SETTERS & ESTABLISHERS OF NEW NORMS
I heard the Lord say that we are about to see a rising or springing up of 3 types of revivalists: trend-setters, mold-breakers, and establishers of new norms, and they will set the tempo, flow, and direction for the years to come.
- Trend-setters are those who introduce new trends, ideas, or change the way/method that something is done. They are the beginning of the bridge from the old to the new and normally highlight the fresh way God is moving and demonstrate it and have fruit to show for it.
- A mold-breaker is a person that is boldly original or pioneering something first if its kind that moves completely outside of the sphere we are used to but that God uses in a powerful way. Mold-breakers cause us to enlarge our understanding of how God is moving and confronting our own limits, ceilings, and religious parameters to accommodate God’s movement.
- Establishers of new norms are those who replace the expected, usual, typical state after a new trend/way is formed or something new is birthed and have the ability to practically implement new strategies and ideas to build upon what has been before it. These are those who help guide and lead the church into the new thing so that it is embraced and not rejected.
Do you relate to any of these? What are some of the reformational, new, unheard of, and unusual movements and ministries that God releasing through you in this season?
WE ARE ENTERING A TIME OF REVIVAL REDEFINED, AND THE FLAME MULTIPLIED INTO EVERY SPHERE IN THE EARTH
Then the Lord showed that we are in a time where these carriers of the new were going to usher in revival and redefine it where it had been given a bad name, abused, opposed, and thwarted. But I saw that the flame of revival was multiplying and being sent into every sphere in the earth carried by this generation of unusual exploits. We will still see revival in stadiums and churches, but I saw revival fires being lit in homes all around the world where genuine revival was being birthed in the middle of families sitting around the dinner table and it transforming streets and suburbs. I saw revival fires being sent into political arenas and it shifting and over-turning the seats of power in counties, regions, and states simply by these carriers choosing to go where they were called. I saw universities suddenly experiencing the weighty glory of God and FIRE that was causing people to speak in tongues and prophesy. The Spirit of Truth was moving in power and removing the veils off a generation that has been hidden and captive in the dark and in a moment commissioning them to carry the new wine. It will be that sudden. I see key players that God is raising up to display His glory in the earth that will have the ear of kings, and the keys to unlock cities to its rich heritage. The fire is being lit upon hearts even right now, and lives are being marked for his glory!
THE NEW STANDARD IS BEING RELEASED & WE CAN’T GO BACK!
As I’m writing this I am seeing revival fires engulfing families, marriages, and children, as God is drawing a line in the sand where the enemy has waged war against your home, your destiny, and your inheritance to prevent you from entering into your greatest season. But It will not prosper and even right now God is overturning every attack and robbery that has come against you. Even those who have said “What do I have left, I am empty?” and NOW there is a fresh infilling and your EMPTY will suddenly turn into OVERFLOW, your “end of the road” is actually your new start, and your “done and dusted” is your BREAKING OUT of the rut and into FRESH HOPE and a new day of wonder!
The question we need to ask ourselves and the question the church needs to ask itself is “Will we yield to the move of the Spirit? Will we move with Him? Will we move out the way and stop resisting Him? Will we lay down our plans for His? Will we say yes to the new when it comes no matter what it looks like? Will we pick up out torches again? Will we choose comfort or the great commission? Will we choose what we can control or that which cannot be tamed only surrendered to? Will we say yes even we do not know the full picture of what is ahead? I pray that our hearts in this time would be a wholehearted YES!
