A must read!

Quite possibly the best book I’ve ever read, and most certainly a book for our times. This book was full of confirmation, guidance, and wisdom that I have been reaching for. If you feel a holy restlessness in your spirit, and have said a resounding yes to God, this book is for you! I have finished it once, and will turn around and read it again. It is the guide I was looking for as I am exiting the wilderness and stepping into all that God has called me to. Nate has walked this before us, and has given us the map. A definite must read.

A guided odyssey through picking up the mantle of your God-given gift and mandate, and going forward as a called servant of the Lord. Nate's powerful preaching on Daystar Network's "Ministry Now" show sold the book and I'm stronger for reading it. Scripture-based and deeply personal to the author, The Wild Ones will leave readers closing the door on past-arrows of the enemy and stepping up and into the future.

Are You a Wild One?

Have you been stranded in the wilderness, figuratively speaking? Dwelling in dehydration, exposed to the discomforts of harsh elements, drained of healthy energy by the rationing of pure sustenance? Enduring aloneness, lacking encouragement, affirmation, or positive feedback? Are you a spiritual outcast? Do you have gifts of the Holy Spirit that have been by-and-large choked by mainstream corporate church and you don’t quite fit in because how the Lord gifted you and/or how you should operate is not supported, stimulated, or even accepted? A believing, faith-filled outcast wondering what the point is and where your purpose rests? Do you live or serve in an environment where you have little emotional joy?

The wilderness experience is often referenced as a time of spiritual dryness. But often it’s in the wilderness that we establish our identity, who we are in God. We exercise our faith. We face our fears. The Lord in his grace provides for us and we end up pressing in to him as our compass. Focusing on him, our guide, to lead us out, where we are stronger, fitter than when we first entered hauling in the messy landscape of our lives (everything but the kitchen sink). We enter weighed down and heavy. But we leave with nothing but Jesus, whose yoke is easy and burden light.

For some, the wilderness season has lasted decades, and you’ve pursued the Lord with your whole heart. But now you’ve made it through, you survived. You’re at the last line of trees before the clearance to move on out. And you’re waiting for his “Go” command, because you’ve grown to know only HIS voice in the wilderness, and you respect it, revere it, trust him implicitly. At the appointed time, you expect to take his promised hand that leads you fearlessly to what he has “out there” for you, the promised land.

The wilderness was a necessary course of training. You learn about the only map that matters, the Word, and that serves as divine navigation. For us, and for others. The wilderness provokes us to speak and share of our experiences.

I am a wild one. I know spiritual wilderness. So when I found a contemporary book calling out to me, I both rejoiced and mentally recapitulated my journeying up to now. I must have dogeared every other page, top and bottom. I know there are leagues of others for who this book was intended and written.

Freedom to exercise gifts of the Spirit, and creative and unusual ideas at last put to use. The hidden, marginalized, voiceless, quieted ones; outcasts on the fringe. The ones who haven’t quite fit into institutionalized church protocols, or have been tamped by the tight structure of its programs, yet have gifts of the Spirit burning to be activated; the ones who wish to seek the will of the Father regardless of what it looks or sounds like to man… This book is for you:

The Wild Ones: Prophetic Survival Guide (The pioneer call of emerging voices from the wilderness to the frontlines)

The chapters, like rites of passage, each finish with “Prophetic Survival Keys” and a “Campfire Prayer” to keep us revving and warm. Ripe for the time, I highly, highly recommend this book! I pray the Lord increases your spiritual territory and magnifies your divine giftings as you read this book. And I pray the Lord multiply blessings to the author, prophet, and worship leader, Nate Johnston, for blessing, confirming, affirming, encouraging, inspiring, and motivating what has felt like the lost and forgotten remnant of Jesus followers. Here we go, into the next great roiling wave of revival, church reformation, and outreach of prophetic voices the world has ever seen. Are you ready, fellow wild one?

“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve that purpose for which I sent it.”—Isaiah 55:10-11 (NIV)

This is a call to reformational leaders and prophetic voices to become the salt in the earth that the Church needs in this hour. Nate does a good job of explaining what it means to be undignified for Christ. It doesn’t mean lacking honor, but instead not playing by rules that were established outside of Christ’s design. Jesus came to see His people free and He often did it in very unorthodox ways. He is moving the same way in this hour.

I read this with two of my dearest friends, so that alone made it extra special!

I didn’t love this one! I felt like Nate was a bit redunant and repetitive and could have used a good editor. BUT, he might just be wired in a totally different way than i am and probably was able to minister to tons of people through this book!

I did still find quite a few takeaways as i read 🤍

Highlyyy recommend! This book really was a “survival guide” for me. In the midst of deep grief, this helped me feel truly understood. It held my hand on a journey back to hope. The pages are quite marked up in the best of ways at this point! I can’t express enough how thankful I am to Nate for his vulnerability in writing this. So timely!

A must read for all who feel they have not found their place

This book will bring clarity to things the church can’t. It will challenge you in places you have always known but have never been able to put words to. It is a must read for all pioneers and reformers whether you know you are or not.

God has been moving and speaking all along. In this book Nate Johnston lays the foundation and framework to show that you can and are, indeed, able to hear what the Father is saying and that you can do small things that lead to big changes in your community and the world.
