The Lord said: I desire to give my Children, Good Gifts, and they’re not asking Me. They have Not, because the ask Not, or they ask Amiss. (Nathan French 1/31/22)
He’s blessing people, and seriously, I’m living in the only house in our city, that had everything I asked for. I want to walk in the woods, I want to be by the water, I want a cul-de-sac, I want to be on the hill, I want to have this many bedrooms, this many bathrooms, every detail that we asked for, on both our lists, and God gave it to us.
The Lord said, Nathan, I desire to give my children good gifts, and they’re not asking Me, so He says, tell them they have not, because they ask not, or they ask amiss, and when you miss, when you ask, it just means you ask for the wrong reason, so the framework, is He taught us to pray, Our Father, first. It’s His will be done, not ours, but when you know, He wants to do, and give you the desires of your heart, then your will starts to match His will, and you start stepping out, building up your faith muscle, by listening and hearing the voice of God, getting all the ear blockers out, and activators in, and pretty soon, you just hear Him, really, really, well, as He purifies your motives.

NotebookLM AI Summary:
The episode of ElijahStreams, hosted by Kelsey O’Malley (filling in for Steve Schultz), features evangelist and prophet Nathan French, focusing on themes of stepping out in faith, hearing God’s voice, and the prophetic word for 2022.
Nathan French’s Testimony and the Call to Faith
French shares that although he grew up as a preacher’s kid and learned scripture, he did not truly know the God of the Bible because he was not taught to hear Him directly. After falling away and experiencing emptiness and misery despite worldly pursuits (“the women and the drugs and the sex”), his life changed following an attempted suicide. God intervened at his “last breath,” saying, “now that you’re broken I can use you”. French realized that establishing faith requires a relationship with Jesus and being “filled with the spirit of god”.
He stresses that everyone has been given a measure of faith, and faith is developed by listening to Jesus, the “living word”. Building one’s “faith muscle” requires listening to God and responding.
Hearing God’s Voice and Overcoming Obstacles
French teaches that God speaks in various ways, including through scripture (the most consistent way), through circumstances, through dreams and visions, and often through one’s thoughts. He advises calibrating oneself to God’s voice by reading scripture until His voice “overtake[s]” the words.
He notes that guilt, shame, and condemnation are tactics of the enemy intended to interrupt the “divine connection with god”. When listeners feel they have missed God’s voice, they should not let that end their pursuit. To live an adventurous life led by the Spirit, one should focus only on the next step God provides, rather than trying to figure everything out beforehand.
Obedience and Miraculous Provision
French illustrates the rewards of obedience through personal testimonies:
- The Firewood: When he needed wood, God told him to simply start driving. Following directional thoughts (go right, go left, pull in here), he arrived at a house where a stranger gave him a cord of wood for free. Later, two more cords were supplied miraculously, one from a man refusing payment because his father belonged to French’s congregation.
- The Dream House: French and his wife, discouraged about their housing situation, made detailed lists of everything they wanted in a home. They found only one house that matched all their requirements, but they lacked the money to buy it. French followed a directive to walk around the house seven times like the fall of Jericho, claiming it by faith. The necessary funds—$112,000—were later provided by a man French had ministered to prophetically, who saw the gift as a reward for French’s work as a “disciple maker”.
Prophetic Insights for 2022
French shares 12 prophetic words God showed him for 2022:
- A great desire for people to work together in love and unity.
- Unusual success for those who pursue from hunger, leading them to “flip the script and bring justice where there has been tyranny”.
- Restoration of hope for freedom in America, coupled with the return of Trump.
- An abundance of rain bringing unusual fruitfulness, seen as oil and new wine.
- Personal surrender will tip the scales toward corporate breakthrough.
- The seven mountains churches and organizations will work together out of selflessness.
- Individuals will discover clarity for personal assignments, bringing Holy Spirit alignment.
- A greater glory and a release of “golden oil,” leading to an “ease in service”.
- God is turning up the volume of His voice for the willing, so the pure at heart will be bold to lead out in faith.
- God will put the government in order, causing an internal awakening.
- (Not explicitly listed as number 11 in the source text).
- God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, providing “the abundance of joy to gain my strength”.
French encourages people to partner with the “champion” (Jesus) and live with childlike faith, recognizing that the “third great awakening” is happening now. He closes by leading a prayer for salvation, surrender, and for physical healings (including necks, backs, migraines, and ankle swelling).
