The Fruit Is Coming!

Nate Johnston recently prophesied…

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!

I will not grow weary or discouraged in the waiting. “In due season we will reap, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). My roots are going deeper, and my branches will bear much fruit—fruit that remains (John 15:5,16).

I declare that the season of fruitfulness is drawing near. I speak life over my field, strength over my soul, and expectancy over my spirit. “Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy” (Psalm 126:5). I am not sowing in vain—I am preparing for harvest.

I will see the goodness of the Lord. I will carry what I’ve prayed for.
The fruit is coming.
