Have You Been In The Sick Bed Of Deception? Have you been through a season where you were led astray and deceived by a wolf in sheep's clothing? God is healing so many right now who've been through Jezebel systems, false words, and false counsel, finding themselves on the other side broken, confused, and soul sick. In this episode, Nate shares the story of Ahithophel, David's most trusted counselor, whose wisdom was safe in one season and turned to poison in the next and how betrayal from those closest to us can put us on a sick bed we never seem to leave. Walking through Psalm 55 and the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5, Nate ministers directly to anyone stuck in the aftermath of deception, false words, or betrayal. If you've been carrying guilt, shame, or condemnation over decisions made while being led astray, this pastoral ministry rich episode is God's invitation to get up, take up your bed, and walk. 🔥 If God ministers to you during this episode, let us know in the comments we'd love to hear your story.

Are you feeling confused in a social media age that's so noisy? Every day there's a new headline, a new influencer, a new "word" and you don't know who to believe anymore. In this episode of Prepare the Way, Nate and Christy Johnston tackle the difference between the true word of the Lord and what is straight up demonic. Wolves in sheep's clothing are real, and many of us have been deceived by voices that sounded loving and even accurate but came from the wrong spirit. The fruit? Confusion, fog, isolation, dependency, and a calling that suddenly comes under fire. In this episode we cover: 5 signs you're listening to the wrong voice Why true prophecy brings clarity, peace, and freedom and false prophecy keeps you stuck The "middleman" spirit and why God is leading you back to hearing Him for yourself The story of the false word that cost us 5 years (and how God redeemed it) What 1 Kings 13, Elijah, and Gideon reveal about disobedience, deception, and the fear of the Lord How to keep your heart soft, wrap yourself in your mantle, and step out of the cave This isn't about a critical or suspicious spirit. It's about letting the Holy Spirit train your discernment so you're not led astray in this next season. God is raising up a remnant of pure voices for this hour and you are called to be one of them. 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell so you don't miss a new episode every Friday/Saturday If this episode ministered to you, comment below: "I'm stepping out of the cave." 🔥 Join us for free training every Thursday night in Orange County - details on our website. 📖 Read full written words: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co/prophet...

Jesus didn't say wolves in sheep's clothing might come, He said they WILL come. So how do you recognize one before it's too late? I In this episode, Nate & Christy unpack a prophetic parable and it will completely change the way you see false prophets, false leaders, and counterfeit voices operating in the body of Christ today. They break down: Why false prophets always want to know your calling and destination * How they use distraction and delay to pull you off your path The difference between a true prophet and a counterfeit and why fruit matters more than gift What New Covenant prophecy is actually supposed to look like The biggest marker of a false prophet most people miss How bitterness can cause you to become the very thing you're trying to avoid Why staying in the Word is your greatest protection This isn't about becoming suspicious of everyone, it’s about becoming so rooted in the authentic that the counterfeit becomes obvious. 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell so you don't miss a new episode every Friday/Saturday 👇 Drop a comment: "I can hear God's voice for myself" To stay in touch go to www.nateandchristy.co

In this episode of Prepare the Way, Nate and Christy dive deep into one of the most urgent conversations for this hour - how to train your discernment in an age of deception, chaos, and conflicting opinions.

In this episode you'll discover: Why discernment has to be trained The counterfeit bill method bank tellers use and how it applies to spotting false teaching and false prophecy How exhaustion and desperation make you vulnerable to counterfeit words Nate and Christy's personal story of receiving a false prophetic word and the chaos it unleashed The story of the prophet in 1 Kings 13 and what it means for how we receive words today Why the five foolish virgins are a warning for right now The bottom line: You cannot spot a counterfeit unless you know the real thing.

In this episode we talk about: How to actually read the signs of the times (not just talk about them) The false versions of Jesus flooding social media RIGHT NOW Why your love for God can grow cold without you even noticing How to stop falling down rabbit holes and start partnering with God in intercession What it actually means to rightly divide the Word of Truth for YOURSELF Are you ready?   🔔 Subscribe for weekly prophetic words and teaching 📖   Read full written words: https://www.nateandchristy.co/prophetic-words   If you’re ready to be equipped, join us in Prepare the Way Training School where we train forerunners, not spectators: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co/resources   If you feel called to stand in the gap in this hour of shaking, become part of Operation Prayer Shield covering leaders and movements in strategic intercession: 👉 https://www.deborahwatch.com   If you want to help us fuel our message, you can give here: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co/give   Join our mailing list: 👉 https://patient-fire-31420.myflodesk.com/cfz0ehjwpe   Learn More: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co

The Jezebel spirit doesn't always show up the way we expect. Sometimes it comes through flattery, false covering, spiritual dependency, and subtle control and it can quietly disconnect you from your true calling without you even realizing it. In this episode, Nate gets raw and honest about how manipulation, performance culture, and counterfeit spiritual authority operate in churches, ministries, and relationships and what it actually looks like to break free. You'll learn how to recognize the patterns, reclaim your voice, and Jezebel-proof your calling so you can walk in purity, boldness, and real freedom again. If you've ever felt spiritually silenced, drained, manipulated, or stuck under an invisible ceiling, this one's for you. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly prophetic words and teaching www.nateandchristy.co If you’re ready to be equipped, join us in Prepare the Way Training School where we train forerunners, not spectators: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co/resources If you feel called to stand in the gap in this hour of shaking, become part of Operation Prayer Shield covering leaders and movements in strategic intercession: 👉 https://www.deborahwatch.com If you want to help us fuel our message, you can give here: 👉 https://www.nateandchristy.co/give Join our mailing list: 👉 https://patient-fire-31420.myflodesk....

Is your home constantly under fire? Tension you can't name, chaos and conflict that is relentless, a heaviness and strife that never fully lifts? In this episode of the Prepare The Way Podcast, I go after the spiritual root that not only goes after callings and destinies but HATES covenant, family, marriages, and homes on fire for God - the spiritual and relational dysfunction that silences people, attacks identity, and keeps entire families from stepping into what God called them to. This one's personal, because after decades of battling the Jezebel spirit through real life, family, marriage, and ministry, I pull back the curtain on what that actually looked like, how these patterns show up in your kids, your calling, your home, and how we can begin to break free. If you've been battling this spirit and lost hope of ever overcoming it, this one is for you. You are not powerless, and your home is not beyond recovery. It's time to take it back.

What if the pressure you're feeling isn't the enemy - it's God pulling you into everything you've been praying for? In this raw conversation with Ross Johnston, we unpack what it means to be a different kind of Christian in this hour. Bold. Surrendered. Willing to step into the unknown. We talk about: - Why tension in your soul is an invitation, not an attack  The real cost of a Book of Acts life Why an anointing you never step into becomes a burden Living like you have nothing to lose It's time to stop settling for the kiddy pool when you were made for more than this.

If you feel hidden right now, like you've been forgotten, sidelined, or left behind, this episode is for you. You might be in a tomb season. And it might be exactly where God wants you. In this episode, Nate unpacks the story of Lazarus and the detail most people miss, Jesus didn't show up in three days. He waited four. Beyond the point of hope. Beyond human intervention. And that's exactly when He moved. This is a raw, Spirit-led word for anyone who feels like they're in that place right now and how it prophetically speaks to a Church that is being stripped, rebuilt, and prepared for something it's never seen before. This episode will hit different if you're in a season of: Grief, loss, or unanswered prayer. Feeling spiritually numb or disconnected Wondering if God has forgotten you Sensing a transition but not seeing it yet The four days aren't the end. They're the beginning.

If you’ve been feeling powerless, defeated, or like the weight of what’s happening in the world has stolen your peace, this episode is for you. In today’s Prepare the Way Podcast, I go straight after the lie of powerlessness and talk about how the enemy uses it to disarm the Church, keeping believers either angry and reactive or numb and passive. This is a “diagnostic” moment, a season of transition that reveals what we really believe about God, about ourselves, and about the authority Jesus actually gave us. I unpack why authority isn’t something you hype up, it’s covenantal, rooted in relationship with Jesus, identity in Christ, and alignment with the Holy Spirit. If you’ve lost your fight, your fire, or your clarity, don’t click off.

In a time when the Body of Christ is carrying massive disagreements, this conversation is a call back to the table. Lou Engle and I talk about why unity matters, why forgiveness is not optional, and how communion becomes the place where betrayal, offence, and division lose their grip. We can stand prophetically on truth without letting it split us. If we cannot love each other through the tension, we don’t just damage relationships, we weaken our witness and the future of a nation.   This episode is also a deep dive into the stories and moments that shaped this journey from “Digging the Wells of Revival” to Azusa Now, and the role of prayer and fasting as a doorway into humility, repentance, dreams, and supernatural breakthrough. We talk about how God preserves a remnant, how revival history matters, and why returning to the “wells” isn’t nostalgia, it’s strategy.   If you feel the Holy Spirit stirring hunger in you to fast, pray, and contend for prodigals, cities, and nations, this is your invitation. And if you’ve been carrying unforgiveness, or sensing a pull toward intercession but resisting it, let this be the moment you lean in. You might be closer to a turning point than you think. Listen now and share this with someone who needs to hear it.   Links: You can hear more about Lou Engle at www.louengle.com   If you prefer listen to this episode on and audio platform go to  podbean go to https://www.nateandchristy.co/podcast If you want to help us fuel our message, you can give here: 👉 https://pushpay.com/g/everydayrevival...

If you’ve been watching the headlines, seeing shaking unfold in the church and the world, and feeling your peace slip away, we need to talk. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone has commentary. But almost no one is calling us back to the one place that actually shifts history - prayer. Shaking isn’t the end of the story. It’s often the painful preparation for cleansing and rebuilding. But outrage without intercession goes NOWHERE. In fact, the enemy thrives on noise and many believers are unaware that we can actually be feeding into the problem when we are meant to carry the solutions. This episode will stir you. It may offend you. It will likely convict you. But it’s a call back to the basics that if we do well will shift nations and bring true justice and reformation..

In this episode I sat down with my sister-in-law Stacey for what turned out to be one of the most powerful conversations we've ever recorded. She opens up about her 20-year battle with addiction that started at just 14, experimenting with drugs while her family was running a church, escalating into ecstasy, cocaine, ice, opioids, selling drugs, and even a near-fatal ketamine overdose in Bali. Trapped by shame, the enemy's lies, and what felt like a generational curse, she hit rock bottom until she surrendered and it all started to turn around. Through relentless prayer and a pivotal baptism right here in California, and learning to fight every lie with Scripture, God has brought her complete freedom. No more drugs! Now she's on fire, angry at the years the devil stole, determined to break shame off people, expose hidden addictions even in the church, and pull others out of darkness as a bold evangelist. This is raw redemption, family restoration, and proof that God restores stolen years tenfold. If you're battling addiction, shame, or praying for a loved one, watch this episode, share it, and let's see more captives set free! 🔥 LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@NateandChristy GIVING https://pushpay.com/g/everydayrevivalists PREPARE THE WAY TRAINING SCHOOL https://www.nateandchristy.co/resources/preparethewaytrainingschool OPERATION PRAYER SHIELD https://operationprayershield.myflodesk.com/haj8jjt5dn BE A FORERUNNER https://www.nateandchristy.co/vision

EPISODE 2 - DON’T BE MUZZLED IN A ROAR HOUR After the amazing response from our first episode on the war on THE VOICE of the John the Baptists rising up, I felt strongly to share a very raw message from my heart to the new breed sharing some of our prophetic process and the call OUT OF old mantles, religion, and out from under jezebels muzzling. Just a forewarning - this isn’t a message for the tame or the easily offended but for those who are DONE with being silenced.
