A Time will come in your life when YOU finally get it ... http://nethugs.com/inspirational/the-awakening/Show me thy Gloryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04777309300513377779noreply@blogger.comBlogger115125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901669444261170037.post-81556470147997014762020-07-26T10:37:00.000-07:002020-07-26T12:04:17.002-07:00My Crisis of Spirit & How I know<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just listened to : https://youtu.be/JsUt1SWEaLc </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do not know anything about what happened in the past because I wasn't there. </div>
<div>
I am trying to keep an open mind. </div>
<div>
What I do know is "my own" experience. </div>
<div>
I know for sure there is a Spirit of good that talks to me and teaches me privitissimo. </div>
<div>
If I ask a question ~ I get an answer. </div>
<div>
Somehow I know / am aware of things before they happen in relationship to my family, friends and also sometimes the world. </div>
<div>
I know that I am connected to something greater than I am. </div>
<div>
I do not speak in tongues ~ I never have. I hear and understand in English or just know without words. </div>
<div>
I believe if I choose ~ somehow I am connected to a higher power. </div>
<div>
I choose to call that power/ entity my Papa God. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was about 44 ~ I had a crisis of Spirit and with my begging the universe for answers ~ I was taken back to my mother's womb and reborn. </div>
<div>
At that moment my DNA changed. Healing happened. De Ja Vu experiences began. </div>
<div>
I began to see differently and have choices I never saw or understood before. </div>
<div>
As I said before ~ I know what His ~ Story and the Bible say and "my experience" of my connection of who I am and who He / She is ~ "Trumph's all of it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know I am connected to something much bigger and higher than I am or ever will be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One more thing ~ </div>
<div>
for Christian's that do not understand or are not yet awake ~</div>
<div>
what I just said ~ </div>
<div>
The way back to your mother's womb and further back to your original DNA ~ to the shores of heaven comes from the power in and of the Blood of Christ. </div>
<div>
It is your connection back to Papa God. </div>
<div>
Whether Jesus Christ was a real person or not ~ </div>
<div>
Choose to step into the river of Papa God's consciousness through His Son's shed blood for you personally and it will take you / connect you back to your Papa God. </div>
<div>
That is where your transformation begins!</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Lord has been speaking to me for many months now about the need for 'change' and 'making room for the new' in our lives. As believers we have a responsibility to have our ear to His chest and be listening to His instruction and wisdom and implementing it in our lives.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In this time of significant transition and in this new era I have been hearing the Lord say over and over:</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Things HAVE to change, they cannot remain the same. Things NEED to change in order for you to move into the NEW that I have for you and to move in and on the new page I have opened up for you."</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The hand of the Lord is doing a MAJOR rearranging right now in the lives of His people. This is a time to YIELD unlike any other. It is a time to ALLOW the Lord to move what He needs to move. To rearrange that which He needs to rearrange and to shake that which needs to be shaken.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>I heard the Lord say:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Some things HAVE to go in order for you to move in the NEW FLOW!!!!"</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There is a divine LETTING GO that is taking place right now. The Lord is asking His people to remove their hands from certain things, to let go of things that cannot go with you into the new. The "letting go" is happening on MANY levels. There is a letting go of holding onto the past. There's a letting go of unforgiveness and hurt. There's a letting go of unrealistic expectations. There's a letting go of anxiety. There's a letting go of fear. There's a letting go of "old wineskins". There's a letting go of the burdens of "this is how it should be done" or "this is the way you should go" or "this is who you should go with", the expectations of "man" NEED to fall. The Lord is summoning His people to LET GO of expectations built by man and led by man, it's a "man made way" and not the way the Spirit is leading, but see in the OBEDIENCE and the letting go and following where Jesus is going and where He is leading there is great fruit, increase, favour and blessing unlike you have known.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>RELATIONSHIPS ARE SHIFTING</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There are MANY relationships that are shifting right now. Don't fight to hold onto a relationship when there is a change taking place by the hand of the Lord.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>I heard the Lord say:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"There is a shifting and changing happening in relationships and some relationships cannot be taken into the new place that I have for My people."</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Lord is leading many of you reading this in new directions and you feel relationships that have been close to your heart and some that you love dearly, beginning to change. You can feel the change, you can feel the shift, there hasn't been offense or hurt or a falling out, but you feel the relationship shifting and changing and you have been wondering what's happening. The Lord showed me that there are SEASONS for some friendships and there is a CLOSING of a season of friendships for many right now, but I hear the Lord saying "TRUST ME". For where those friendships shift and change and you are moving into something new and a new direction, the Lord will bring new people around you for the next part of the journey. Yes, there's a grief, yes there's a process in the letting go, but where the Lord is saying to "release them", do so, because some cannot go where you are going. Do not hinder the process of moving into the new thing the Lord has for you by holding onto some relationships He is clearly saying to let go of.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It is IMPERATIVE to listen to the wisdom of the Lord right now regarding relationships and those who are walking with you on your journey. I heard the Lord saying "INNER CIRCLES ARE SHIFTING", some of these inner circles need to shift and change in order to move into the new.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In the shifting of relationships and shifting of many "INNER CIRCLES" there is a depth of intimacy with the Lord that is going to blossom with the Lord and a deeper unity that is going to come with those the Lord brings into your life. God is building stronger community and unity in your life, the Lord is strengthening unity in your life, it's just happening for some in different ways than you realise.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF INCREASE?</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>I heard the Lord saying:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>"Can you hear the sound of increase?"</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Lord is bringing increase like never before and as a loving Father He is releasing wisdom and instruction on how to move with Him and yield with Him to be able to carry the increase. The sudden changes, the sudden changes of course, the resounding of the Lord to "COME OUT" of things you were in and part of before, is exciting because you are moving into something more beautiful and greater than you could ever imagine. It is increase. Any deep pruning taking place right now is simply to see the increase of fruitfulness in your life. You must arise and obey in order to ARRIVE into the increase He has for you.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Yield! Yield! Yield! There is a resounding sound from heaven to YIELD!!! HUMILITY is KEY and THE key in this new era.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"The source of revelation-knowledge is found as you fall down in surrender before the Lord. Don't expect to see Shekinah glory until the Lord sees your sincere humility." - Proverbs 15:33 (The Passion Translation)</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honour." - Proverbs 15:33 (ESV)</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
Take heed of the Lord's instruction, follow His wisdom in the "letting go" and the "rearranging" for He is leading you into a new place of favour and partnering with Him to see His Kingdom established and His Glory revealed. Watch as the name of Jesus is lifted high and glorified in and through your life through your obedience to His wisdom and instruction.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This poem was written in remembrance of the Holy Innocents — those babies who were killed around the time of Jesus’s birth. The man in the poem is imagined to be the father of a Holy Innocent, and the nobleman from Capernaum whose son Jesus saved from death.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He could not sleep.<br />The tomb was dark, and the stone heavy that sealed it.<br />He could not sleep for all the innocent blood he had seen shed.<br />He was an old man. Too old for tears.<br />Not yet young enough for sleep. He waited and watched.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Thrice he had spoken to him whose body had been sealed<br />within the tomb, thrice had the old man spoken,<br />he who was a disciple, but not one of the twelve,<br />older, gentler in all ways,<br />and tired, worn with time and experience and the shedding of blood.<br />He came from Capernaum<br />and after that his son<br />who touched the edge of death<br />was drawn back from the pit<br />and made whole,<br />the old man returned to Jesus and said,<br />“O thou, who hast today been the consolation of my household,<br />wast also its desolation.<br />Because of you my first-born died<br />in that great shedding of innocent blood.<br />Nevertheless, I believe<br />though I know not what<br />or how or why<br />for it has not been revealed to me.<br />I only know that one manchild was slain<br />and one made to live.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And a second time he spoke<br />when the Lord kept the children beside him<br />and suffered them not to be taken away:<br />“These are the ones that are left us,<br />but where, Lord, is the Kingdom of Heaven?<br />Where, Lord, are the others?<br />What of them? What of them?”<br />And he wept.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And a third time he spoke<br />When the Lord turned to Jerusalem<br />and laughter turned to steel<br />and he moved gravely<br />towards the hour that was prepared<br />and the bitterness of the cup:<br />then the old man said,<br />“All your years you have lived<br />under the burden of their blood.<br />Their life was the price of yours.<br />Have you borne the knowledge and the cost?<br />During those times<br />when you have gone silent in the midst of laughter<br />have you remembered all the innocence<br />slaughtered that you might be with us now?<br />When you have gone up into the mountain apart to pray,<br />have you remembered that their lives were cut down<br />for your life, and so ours?<br />Rachel’s screams still shatter the silence<br />and I cannot sleep at night for remembering.<br />Do you ever forget your children that sleep?<br />When will you bring them out of the sides of the earth<br />and show mercy unto them?<br />Who will embrace them until you come?<br />I cannot sleep.<br />But because I have already tasted of the cup<br />I cannot turn from you now.<br />I, who live, praise you.<br />Can those who have gone before you into the pit<br />celebrate you or hope for your truth?<br />Tell me, tell me, for I am an old man<br />and lost in the dark cloud of my ignorance.<br />Nevertheless, blessed is he<br />whom thou hast chosen and taken, O Lord.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He did not speak again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
But he was there when the rocks were rent<br />the veil of the temple torn in twain<br />the sun blackened by clouds<br />the earth quaked with darkness</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
the sky was white and utterly empty.<br />The city gaped with loss.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Then, out of the silence,<br />the Lord went<br />bearing the marks of nails and spear<br />moving swiftly through the darkness<br />into the yawning night of the pit.<br />There he sought first<br />not as one might have supposed<br />for Moses or Elias<br />but for the children<br />who had been waiting for him.<br />So, seeking, he was met<br />by the three Holy Children<br />the Young Men<br />burning bright<br />transforming the fire into dew as they cried:<br />“Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And all the children came running<br />and offering to him their blood<br />and singing: “With sevenfold heat<br />did the Chaldean tyrant in his rage<br />cause the furnace to be heated<br />for the Godly Ones<br />who wiped our blood like tears<br />when we were thrust here<br />lost and unknowing.<br />The Holy Three<br />waited here to receive us<br />and to teach us to sing your coming<br />forasmuch as thou art pitiful<br />and lovest mankind.”<br />So they held his hand<br />and gave him their kisses and their blood<br />who could not bear their innocence<br />and thrashed with his tail<br />so that the pit trembled with his rage.<br />But even his roaring could not drown their song:<br />“For unto Thee are due all glory, honor, and worship,<br />with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now, and ever,<br />and unto ages of ages, Amen.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And the holy children were round about him,<br />the Holy Innocents and the Holy Three.<br />They walked through the darkness of the fiery furnace<br />and the dragon could see their brightness,<br />yea, he saw four walkers loose<br />walking in the midst of the fire and having no hurt<br />and the form of the fourth was like the Son of God.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And he saw the Son of God move through hell<br />and he heard the Holy Children sing:<br />“Meet is it that we should magnify thee,<br />the life-giver<br />who has stretched out thy hands upon the cross<br />and hast shattered the dominion of the enemy.<br />Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
O Jesus, God and Savior,<br />who didst take upon thee Adam’s sin<br />and didst taste of death<br />(the cup was bitter),<br />thou hast come again to Adam<br />O compassionate One<br />for thou only art good<br />and lovest mankind,<br />Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So hell was shriven<br />while the holy children, singing,<br />transformed the flames to dew,<br />and the gates of Heaven opened.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
Then, by the empty tomb,<br />the old man slept.</div>

What are Spiritual Windows and Branches, and What Do They Have to Do With Me?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In January 2015, I woke up on my birthday and remembered a dream in which I was looking at an open window to my left, and wondering why it was open. Through the screen, I could see a tree branch rapidly growing and branching out. I looked outside to my right and saw another branch growing.<br />Less than a month later, I had another dream. Looking through two windows in a warehouse, I could see two cabins, and realized I had rented the cabin on the left. I went to the cabin and met a caretaker who said I was to check out at 6:00 AM. I thought, "What a stupid time to check out!" I realized it was now 9:00 AM. The caretaker said, "Since you are late you owe one thousand times for each minute you were late."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I was stunned. Even after all these years of generational prayer, evidently I had not recognized something that was profoundly affecting me, to the extent that the enemy still had a right to exact a huge penalty against me. <strong>I needed to address the issues of windows and branches.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>The Lord has been showing us that there are not only gates and doors in the heavenly places, but also windows.</strong> A familiar passage in <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Malachi 3:10-11</span> teaches us about these windows:</div>
<div class="script_text" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'if I will not open for you the windows of Heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.</div>
<div class="script_text" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"'And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,' says the LORD of hosts."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_windowscastle_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /><strong>In my dream, I realized that the open windows should not have been open, and it seemed to be tied to my generational line.</strong> The mother's side seemed to be on the left, and the father's on the right.<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Isaiah 24:18</span> and <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Joel 2:9</span> speak of open windows that result in severe problems: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken..." "They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief."</span> <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
It seems we have often looked at Malachi 3:10-11 only in the context of tithing, but not in the larger context of the chapter, which lists many sins that can have generational impact.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In the first dream, I realized that ungodly windows were still open above me, not only because of my sin but also because of my generational iniquity. The second dream indicated that the enemy, the caretaker, was exacting a severe financial penalty because of these open windows. I also realized that instead of renting that house, I should be the owner.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
But there were other truths to be discovered in the dream as well. What was the brilliant white branch that I saw growing so rapidly, and branching out? Although Joel 1:7 indicates a branch that was stripped and made white, it seemed to me that the branch I saw was a righteous branch that was not correctly connected. Jesus said He is the vine and we are the branches, and in the Old Testament, Jesus is referred to as the Branch (see Zechariah 3:8; Isaiah 11:1).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
It seems that because of generational and lifetime sin, we are not correctly connected as a branch to "The Branch," Jesus. Ungodly branches have been connected to us, which need to be destroyed so we can be rightly connected to Jesus, the True Branch. It appears that these branches connect us through the heavenly windows to the gates and the doors in the heavenly places.</div>

How Do we Experience the Power and the Blessings of Open Heavenly Windows?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
On June 9, 2015, Chuck Pierce had this prophecy:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
<div class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px; text-align: left;">
"As you are praising, arise out of the depth of your hearts. My windows are opening up even now in a greater way than you've ever experienced. So prepare your house for the multiplication of people, the multiplication of resources, the multiplication of success, the multiplication of My presence. For I have glorious benefits that you know not of. Prepare yourself for the glorious benefits that I will be sending your way!</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px; text-align: left;">
<span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"Port cities, prepare yourselves! For even now I will re-arrange the trade structures that are being brought in. I will re-arrange the way you are doing things, and I will bring some new ships in. There will be an uncovering of what is being brought into this nation. I am re-aligning the trade routes. Watch the hurricanes this year as they form. For as the hurricanes are now beginning to form in Heaven during this 'whirlwind' year, you will now see the movement of these hurricanes come into earth by August. And you'll see a movement and new routes and alignments begin to form." </span>(Read this prophecy in its entirety on <a href="http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=14799">The Elijah List</a>.)</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_winds_wikimedia_250px.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />I was stunned by Chuck Pierce's word. In October 2014, we were in Kaneohe, Hawaii, as Hurricane Ana moved toward Hawaii, and we were preparing for the landfall of the storm. During the week before the expected arrival of the storm, the Lord revealed the golden pipes and the whirlwind through discernment (see Zechariah 4). The following weekend Ana (which means <em>grace</em>) turned slightly away from the Islands, and Oahu was blessed with gentle rainfall but no hurricane-force winds. <strong>We learned a powerful lesson: when we are in His Eye and surrounded by the righteous whirlwind, we are protected by His grace. We also moved into a new understanding of His power. </strong><em>(Photo via Wikimedia Commons)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Exactly nine months to the day, in July 2015, remnants of another hurricane brought historic rains to Southern California. Torrential rains fell in the High Desert where we live. What was conceived in Hawaii was birthed in Southern California.<strong> The desperately needed blessing of rain in drought-stricken Southern California had fallen! I believe this is an indication that revival has come to the Pacific Coast.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Those nine months indicate that when we understand the windows and branches, we are linked to His blessings, grace, and power.</strong> So, how do we move from where we have been to a new place of experiencing the power and the blessings of open heavenly windows?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>My dream was a road map. I needed to pray and ask the Lord to reverse some issues in my generational line and myself so that the righteous windows of Heaven could be opened, and so that I could be correctly connected by the righteous branches to The Branch, who is Jesus, and to the heavenly places.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As we discussed these concepts with many people, the Lord gave us a prayer. As you pray, it is my prayer that you will experience His power and the blessings of Heaven!</div>

Prayer to Renounce the Illegal Access of the Windows of Heaven</div>

<em>Lord, remove any ungodly branches and totally graft me into You as a branch in Your vine. I declare You are the true vine and I am a branch of You.

Please close every window, every door, and every gate that was opened illegally, and restore us to Your plumb line.

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
At the beginning of March, I had an encounter in which I found myself hovering over an expansive, green landscape at the start of daybreak. Despite the lack of light in the vision, I could still see clearly that much of the land varied in its fertility. Some of the areas were green, lush, and budding with life while others appeared to be less nourished with less evidence of life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_sunrise_freeimages.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />As I gazed more intently into the vision, it quickly became clear that these places all had something in common. My attention was drawn to the plant life that existed in each area and I could see that it all stretched toward the horizon where I knew the sun would soon be coming up. Every place in this vision was longing for sunrise, and I then began to feel this intense longing too. <em>(Photo via Freeimages)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Next, I started to hear a low and deep groaning coming from the ground beneath me and heard a Scripture spoken through my spirit: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed"</span> (<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Romans 8:19 NIV</span>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Suddenly, I was aware of the Lord right beside me and could see that He was completely charged with intense delight. His gaze was fixed intently toward the horizon too, and the entire vision was soon charged with even greater anticipation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As this was happening, I could hear a song playing through my spirit, one that I had heard a number of times before. It was the very well-known song by the Beatles "Here Comes The Sun," but this time, as with other times, the words had been changed to: <strong>"Here come the sons."</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The Lord then smiled at me and spoke; His excitement was instantly contagious: <strong><span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"IT'S TIME FOR SON RISE!"</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As He spoke, I could feel the dawn submit to His voice and watched as the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and its light spread like water flooding the land. Now seeing from a new elevation, I saw that what I had initially perceived to be an open plain or landscape was, in fact, an incredible world-map where every nation on earth was visible.</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Can a Nation Be Born In a Day?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The Lord looked over again, smiled, and asked a question: <span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"Can a nation be born in day, Daryl?"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I smiled back, knowing that He was referring to what is written in the Book of Isaiah:<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;"> "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?..."</span> (<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Isaiah 66:8 NKJV</span>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I continued to watch as the flooding light spread across the landscape below and then quickly transformed into a magnificent multitude of people sprinting. The light now appeared more like liquid fire, and within the light I could see a full spectrum of colours; and, in addition, I could now actually hear it audibly, too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_niagarafalls_pixabay.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />When the light-bearers came together, the sound from their light became like that of a massive torrent or waterfall of water, or even like a lion's roar. It reminded me of what must have been heard by the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation when he spoke about the sound of many rushing waters. The multitude began to stream faster and faster into the nations just like arrows of light shot out to reach their target. I watched as each one, in turn, planted into different nations and remained until each particular place had been saturated by the fiery light. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I now knew that what I had seen at the start of the vision was, in fact, the spiritual condition of each nation and could see fertility and new life burst forth following their exposure to this beautiful light. <strong>I knew, too, that this was a vision of the spiritual restoration of the nations and that a global awakening had come – Isaiah's prophecy fulfilled.</strong></div>

The BIG REVEAL</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In a flash, I saw the title and cover of the "Rising of the New Dawn," the album released by Australian prophet Isi de Gersigny in 2010.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I then heard the Lord speak again and say, <span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;"><strong>"Yes, Daryl, this is the rising of the new dawn, and now the season of singing is here."</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_theatercurtain_pixabay.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />Suddenly I found myself in another place, a heavenly auditorium, where I saw the Lord standing on a platform with a curtain behind Him. I immediately knew that we were about to witness something spectacular! I looked up and saw the words, "THE BIG REVEAL" superimposed over the top of the stage and realised that the whole place was filled with people of all ages, and many angels were standing and sitting on the rafters above.<em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Instantly, I felt an insatiable hunger to know the name of what we were about to watch. The curtain on the stage opened and I immediately saw the exact same vision I had at the start of the encounter presented on an incredibly crystal-clear screen on the stage. The image was again dark, as with the vision, and I could make out that creation again was waiting for the sunrise.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The atmosphere inside the heavenly auditorium was absolutely electric, and suddenly the light broke through as before and the scene began to unfold; but this time it was accompanied by a much clearer sound. I could hear the groans of creation as before, but now, in addition to this, there was singing erupting from wherever the light liberated, nourished, and brought forth life. It was truly one of the most beautiful sounds and scenes that I've ever witnessed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I could see that each nation, when flooded with light, would burst forth with its own song and then these songs would start to harmonise with the other songs being released. This was the most exquisite sound, like that of many violins playing angelic choruses and water rushing all at the same time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

The person sitting next to me, who I knew to be one of the Cloud of Witnesses, leaned over to me as I thought this and said, "This is the best part." He smiled, and then suddenly the entire picture on the screen broke through into the auditorium releasing light and colour and the most exquisite song I have ever heard. It was like that of a thousand songs all being sung as one, in perfect harmony. I suddenly exclaimed through my tears, as loud as I could,<strong>"THE NATIONS ARE SINGING!"</strong> <em>(Photo by Lillis Boyer <a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/waterdance-explosion-of-glory-by-lillis-boyer/">"Waterdance: Explosion of Glory"</a> via elijahshopper.com)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The entire auditorium was filled with light, sound, and colour, which I could see, feel, and sense throughout my whole body. All were in absolute awe, and I found myself needing once again, desperately, to know the name of what I was watching. Suddenly, I had a simultaneous vision of what appeared to be the outside frontage of the auditorium and then a ticket from a box office. Both had same name: <strong>"CREATION SINGS."</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Psalm 96:1 NLT</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I believe that we are in the<strong> dawning of a new day</strong>, that the <strong>sons of God are being revealed</strong>, and that <strong>their rising will bring healing, transformation, and liberation to the nations.</strong> I believe too that <strong>this new dawn marks the tipping point for the most magnificent end time move the Earth will have ever seen.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Creation waits!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>If the Church hopes to be relevant and meet the needs of the twenty-first century and beyond, it must be willing to undergo a paradigm shift.</strong> The Elijah to Elisha Revolution confronts the status quo by challenging the Church to reexamine many of its assumptions. One of these assumptions is what could be called the "quick escape mentality."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
For over a century many Believers have been taught that the end-times are near and to expect Christ to take His Church at any moment. This teaching has been especially prevalent in parts of the evangelical and Pentecostal branches of the Church. Whether or not this interpretation of prophecy is accurate is not my primary point. What is important is the influence it has had on the mind-set of the Church.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
One positive result of the "rapture mentality" is that it has created in many Christians a sense of urgency with regard to evangelism and missions. If Christ could return "any day," then there is no time to lose in telling others about Jesus. On the other hand, this same mentality can have the unfortunate consequence of discouraging long-term planning. If everything is about to come to an end anyway, why focus on the future?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In my early years I was plagued by this short-term mind-set that emerged out of the Jesus People Movement. Zeal was abounding and the Holy Spirit was moving across the university I was attending. I became a Jesus Person and lived with other young men in a Jesus House. He thought he knew that Jesus was returning any moment to come and get His people out of this messy world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_rosebud_250px_wikimedia.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />A couple of the other young leaders planted a small rosebud tree in the front yard of the Jesus House. When I saw the newly planted tree I became disturbed and stated, "What are you doing spending money to plant that tree? Don't you know that Jesus will return long before that tree ever grows into maturity!" <em>(Photo via Wikimedia)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Time passed; the tree grew. It became a beautiful flowering and haunting reminder to me that maybe God had a long-timer's mind-set for the fullness of His purposes to come to pass. Time has changed. Today I think "generationally."</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Thinking Generationally</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The modern Church must rediscover the mind-set of thinking generationally. For too long too many members of the Body of Christ have considered themselves part of a "terminal generation". It is time to change that way of thinking.<strong> Each generation of Christians needs to see itself as a bridge generation that builds on the past, lives in the present, and plans for the future.</strong> It is important to live each day as if Christ is coming back today, yet plan for tomorrow as if He will not return for years</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Part of the mind-set of a bridge generation is recognizing and taking seriously the responsibility of passing on to the next generation a solid legacy of faith and godly values. Just how important is this "generational transfer"? Long ago someone observed that the Church is never more than one generation away from paganism. All it takes to lose everything is for one generation to fail in transferring its beliefs and principles to the next.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
One of the most critical needs of the Church today is to renew its commitment to "generational transfer": passing on to the next generation not just principles, theology, and doctrinal beliefs, but also passionate heart affection. Each generation must learn to love God for themselves, and it is the responsibility of the preceding generation to teach them by modeling that love.<strong>It is a fundamental principle known as mentoring—spiritual fathering and mothering.</strong></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Spiritual Mentoring</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Generational transfer does not happen overnight. There are no shortcuts, no pat formulas, or "25-words-or-less" summary statements for imparting faith and values. Success comes only with commitment, discipline, diligence, and patience. These qualities are fast becoming quaint notions of the past in today's fast-paced "microwave" society of instant gratification and ten-second sound bites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_flames_pixabay.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />This same attitude has become quite common throughout much of the Body of Christ. <strong>In truth, the fast burn of revival and the slow burn of spiritual mentoring are both critical to God's strategy for reaching the nations. Revival releases faith and changes individual lives while spiritual mentoring transforms culture.</strong><em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The fire of God that fell on Mount Carmel was the fast burn of revival. It released faith in the hearts of the Israelites that God was greater than Baal, but it did not turn the nation. Ahab and Jezebel still remained in power. At the same time, a switch began to occur. The Mount Carmel revival also ignited a slow-burning flame that stirred an underground movement of spiritual revolution that climaxed many years later in cultural transformation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Elijah set the stage by his faithfulness as a spiritual father, but it is the next generation under Elisha and Jehu that destroys Jezebel, who represents the domination of culture by the powers of darkness, and brings transformation to the land.</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
A Synergy of Generations</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Synergy is defined as the condition where distinct groups work together in a cooperative arrangement in such a way that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. In other words, the group accomplishes more working together than the individual members could achieve working independently.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>One of the things that the Elijah to Elishas Revolution represents is God's desire to link multiple generations into a synergistic relationship once again.</strong> Three generations moving together toward a shared goal can accomplish more than the sum of what each generation could achieve separately. This synergy of the generations is something that God promised He would bring about in the last days. I have often referred to this as the "convergence of the ages."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>A "convergence of the ages" will come upon us. The falling of Pentecostal fire, healing and deliverance crusades, the latter rain presence, the evangelical burden for the lost, the charismatic giftings, the zeal of the Jesus people movement, the credibility of the third wave, the revelation of the prophetic movement, and the relational networking of the apostolic reformation—all will swell into a tidal wave greater than the impact of the Reformation five hundred years ago and create what could be called the Transformation Generation.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_Holyspiritfire_250px.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />Before Christ returns, God will release an explosion of His Holy Spirit that will shatter paradigms in people's minds and cause the whole Church to begin thinking generationally rather than selfishly. A whole generation will begin to give themselves to their "Elishas," to raise up "double portion" sons and daughters who will dominate their culture in the power of the Holy Spirit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
When God describes Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He is not just identifying Himself by name; He is describing His very being and how His purposes proceed throughout history. God told Abraham that his children would be as the stars in the sky or the sand on the seashore, yet Abraham had only one son of promise: Isaac. Isaac passed the promise on to his son, Jacob, who passed it on to his 12 sons, one of whom was Joseph, who rose to prominence in Egypt. After a small beginning, in the fourth generation one appeared who ruled an entire nation. All of Jacob's sons were fruitful, their descendants multiplying across many generations to become the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel.</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
What Vision Are You Running With?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>The Father's great desire is to fill the earth with mature spiritual offspring.</strong> This will happen not through a crash course in holiness, but through one generation patiently and faithfully passing on to the next not just information and knowledge, but wisdom, passion, integrity, faith, heart affection, and vision.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Each generation must learn to honor those who have gone before, the "pioneers" of the Church who have followed their vision and forged a path for their descendants to walk. Many spiritual parents and grandparents are alive today who ache inside because they have not yet seen the fullness of what God spoke to them 20, 30, or even 50 or more years ago. They long to see their vision fulfilled in their children.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Right before moving from Kansas City, Missouri, to Nashville, Tennessee, I was given a striking dream. In it I saw a scrapbook with the year 1988 written on the outside of it. This was a year of much prophetic activity in the Body of Christ and a time of fresh new beginnings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_scrapbook_200px_wikipedia.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />As I opened up the scrapbook in the dream, I read prayers and statements of commitments people had made in 1988. Then, to his surprise, when he turned to the fourth page, I found my own handwriting (and could read it!) where it had the following piercing vow.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"I, Jim Goll, vow to be the unique vessel God created me to be and I vow to do 'all that He created me for.'" Then it continued, "And I vow to help others be the unique vessels God has created them to be and to help them be all they can be in God!" Then I could read my own signature as though written in blood! <em>(Photo via Wikipedia)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Yes, God wants us to be secure, unique and multiple! He wants to be fruitful.</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Where are the Spiritual Fathers and Mothers?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>The need of the hour is great. Where are the spiritual fathers and mothers who will pray in the spirit of Elijah, "God, give me a spiritual son or daughter"? Where are the "elders" who will bless those children with their time, knowledge, and every good thing that God has given them? Where are the mentors who will share their life with those children, knowing that generational transfer is about life impartation and not just information?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Where will the sons and daughters find spiritual parents who will dream with them and for them, help them tap into their God-given passions and destiny, encourage them and intercede for them?</strong> I am a survivor of many trials and I have learned many lessons. I have seen many movements rise and fall in my own life I want to pass these wisdom lessons on to the generations after me. That is my dream!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Responsibility fosters maturity while maturity leads to greater responsibility.</strong> The Elijah to Elisha Revolution calls for a joining of the generations. It means imparting blessing by a spoken word or a meaningful touch, by giving them a high appraisal of their value, by helping them envision their future in the family of God. It means helping with practical steps, providing necessary resources, and releasing authority to them to accomplish their God-given commission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Who will rise to the challenge? Who will cry out to the Lord, "I will help take up the fatherless generation! God, give me a spiritual son or daughter!"? Will you?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

My Dream: A New Level of Apostolic Grace</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
When I tune into the news, I have never been more concerned about where we are as a nation. <strong>When I tune into the Holy Spirit, however, I have never been more encouraged!</strong> In fact, I am more hopeful for righteous change today than I have been in the past 25 years! This past November, the Lord gave me one of the most vivid dreams I've ever received. Based on what Holy Spirit spoke to me, I am thoroughly convinced that <strong>we are now crossing over into the fullness of a new season</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In this dream, I was speaking to an apostolic friend when I began to hear and repeat to him a word from the Lord. In a very slow and calculated manner, making sure to speak precisely what I was hearing the Lord say, I spoke these words:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>"There is a new level of apostolic grace being distributed that will take the gifting to a new measure spiritually and physically."</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Both in the dream and upon waking, my attention was especially drawn to the last two words of this statement, "...and physically."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_dutchsheetscpierce_250px.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />I believe the Lord is saying through this dream, that <strong>we are about to see the Kingdom of God come to earth in a more tangible way</strong>. The Church is about to see a physical manifestation of that which we have warred for in the spirit, and a fulfillment of things promised in times past. And we'll see results from our prayers much more quickly; rather than believing change will result in the future, <strong>we will see quick, tangible evidence of transformation</strong>. More than just believing for souls to be saved, we will experience multitudes coming to Christ. Spiritual gifts will not only be asked for, but we will see signs, wonders and miracles as a manifestation of the gifts. <em>(Photo of Dutch Sheets with Chuck Pierce)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
This new level of apostolic grace will translate apostolic authority into apostolic power and action Kingdom works that will bring real, physical, literal change in the earth. Acts 4:33 speaks of an abundant grace that was upon the early apostles as they witnessed of Jesus, and great signs, wonders and power were being released through them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
There is also a window of divine grace being offered to the apostolic Church today—the greatest window of opportunity we have seen in our lifetimes—for extending Kingdom authority and life into the earth. <strong>We are coming into a full release of divine strategies and the power necessary for a thriving implementation of those heavenly blueprints.</strong></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Many leaders in the Church think we have been walking in the fullness of our anointing and what our spiritual calling represents. I believe, however, that we have actually been primarily in preparation for this fullness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The past several years were a season in which the Lord was refining our gifts and preparing us for this new dimension of grace. He has worked in our hearts, released much revelation, and created many important connections.<strong>He is now inviting us to step into the fullness of what this preparation was meant to produce. What He's been working in us, He now wants to release through us.</strong></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
The Window of Opportunity</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
When God says He is releasing grace, it is important to understand that grace does not mean only undeserved favor. Grace is also the release of supernatural ability, an ability to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask, think or imagine (see Ephesians 3:20).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">2 Corinthians 9:8</span>, the Apostle Paul says, <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed."</span> This is the kind of grace the Lord is releasing over us in this season! A grace that produces "all sufficiency"; an abundance!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong><img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_dutchsheetsprayer_200px.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />As we move into this season, the next six months are very significant, so much so that the decisions we make will in some ways define the rest of our lives. In this kairos season, it is important that we position ourselves rightly for this outpouring of grace, seeking God very diligently. If we do so, there will be a remantling, redefining and revitalizing, propelling us into our future.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>We stand at a hinge of history!</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The window of opportunity is open, and there is an abounding grace available. The Lord is inviting us to come into agreement with this decree He is releasing. For those who do, there will be evidence of His power in ways we've never experienced. Believe it, tap into it, and join the apostolic company God is raising up throughout the earth!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">By Christina Garcia on Feburary 10, 2015</b></div>
<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">The Lord showed me a vision of many people around the </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">world crying out in a </span><span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">dark well</span><span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;"> (hole). All week God </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">continued to speak to me through the message of Joseph </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">and all </span><span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;">the affliction he went through.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Joseph’s betrayal by his brothers made him a slave.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Genesis 37:5 ; 11</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his<br />
brothers it, they hated him more than ever. Joseph’s<br />
brothers envied him and were jealous of him, but his<br />
father observed the saying and pondered over it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Are you feeling rejected and abandoned by those close </em><br />
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">to you?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Have you been disappointed by man?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Do you feel as your hidden in a dark place and God is </em><br />
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">far from you?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I want to encourage you today that God is closer than<br />
ever!The power of rejection and abandonment makes us<br />
believe so many lies. The goal is to make us feel<br />
unwanted,invaluable,shamed, bitter, worthless, and more.<br />
You might even entertain the lie that God has forgotten<br />
about you and has no clue where you are. Lies, lies,and<br />
more lies.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Lord sees you and nothing is hidden from His </strong><br />
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sight.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hebrews 4:13</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything<br />
is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one<br />
to whom we are accountable.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jealousy and accusation are at work against God’s<br />
chosen.Those close to you are not sharing enthusiasm<br />
in all the Lord is bringing you to. Joseph went from a<br />
dark empty well to slavery. I don’t know your situation<br />
but God does and He says to remind you how much<br />
you’re loved. The difficult experiences you’re going<br />
through are only made to prepare you for your life’s<br />
calling.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nothing will be wasted during these seasons of your<br />
life. Every hardship is a tool for God to make you<br />
stronger. Many have spoken wrongly of you and the<br />
only job you have is to forgive and move on. Many<br />
do not speak peaceably because of their own hurts<br />
and envy.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
James 3:16</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention<br />
(rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be<br />
confusion (unrest, disharmony,rebellion) and all sorts<br />
of evil and vile practices.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sometimes if we don’t remove ourselves from this<br />
atmosphere the Lord will.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We pray to be in God’s perfect will and it may not be<br />
what we imagined but this is where we must place faith<br />
in front of fear. Be it onto me father as it is done in your<br />
word.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We cannot be jealous over the dreams God has planned<br />
before the foundation of this world for each of us. No man<br />
can change the promises and hand of God. Destiny over<br />
your life triumphs all the works of darkness. Remember<br />
greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.<br />
It does not matter if you’re in prison, divorced, isolated,<br />
slave, etc. God is still greater and bigger!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
God is going to cause you to be <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">FRUITFUL</strong> even in<br />
your affliction. What you have lost will be restored.<br />
Remain <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">FAITHFUL </strong>and wait on God to lift you up<br />
due time.Joseph found favor with the warden when<br />
he was sent to prison for being wrongly accused and<br />
favor with Pharaoh. Don’t sleep with the enemy.<br />
Run away from the temptation to sin during these<br />
pressured times. There is no temptation that will be<br />
difficult to bare because the Lord will always<br />
give you a way of escape.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Genesis 41:40-41</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You shall have charge over my house, and all my<br />
people shall be governed according to your word<br />
[with reverence, submission, and obedience].<br />
Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than<br />
you are. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, See,<br />
I have set you over all the land of Egypt.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Just as the Lord was with Joseph so He will be<br />
there for you.The Lord will cause whatever you<br />
do to prosper.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">FORGIVENESS is key to unlock your destiny</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Forgiveness will bring restoration and retaliation<br />
will bring destruction.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We must forgive to be free and move forward into<br />
all that God has set forth.It’s only by the power of<br />
the Holy Spirit that we can choose to forgive.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He desires for us to learn to be faithful even in the<br />
midst of betrayal. This spirit comes against us to<br />
remove the favor of God.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
God made him forget all his toil and hardship.<br />
We are not to dwell and harp on a matter once we<br />
have chosen to forgive and that includes<br />
self-forgiveness.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Proverbs 17:9</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,<br />
but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates<br />
even close friends.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you were thrown into a well by your loved ones </em><br />
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">and sold </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">into </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">slavery </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">what do you </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">think your </em><br />
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">response </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">would be</em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> towards </em><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">them? </em>Ask the Holy<br />
Spirit to show you what is in your heart now and<br />
who you need to forgive to be free! The way<br />
Joseph responded after reuniting with His brothers<br />
brought me so much joy. Father let us have a<br />
forgiving and good attitude as Joseph did.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Genesis 45:4-5</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to<br />
me.”When they had done so, he said, “I am your<br />
brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! <br />
And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry<br />
with yourselves for selling me here, because it was<br />
to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Let your gifts rise even when you’re in captivity even<br />
when you don’t feel you’re best even if you feel lost<br />
remain stand and be faithful with a good attitude.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lord says, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">YOU ARE COMING OUT OF </strong><br />
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">HIDING</strong>. Divine favorable connections are coming<br />
fourth in places you least expect. Strategized<br />
connections and directions are manifesting. Your<br />
inheritance will be restored.Your family<br />
will be reconciled. There is a nation He has called you to<br />
save for His Glory. A Mantle of favor is being released<br />
from the heavens. Favor and double portion coming to<br />
you now. The Lord is maturing patience, faith, endurance,<br />
love,and long suffering. The Lord is positioning you now. <br />
You are birthing a new beginning with a fresh start.<br />
God will give you provision in your journey into the<br />
new territory He is calling you upward to. Never stop<br />
dreaming no matter where you are. Your identity remains<br />
secure and you are not your circumstance. You are<br />
enough. The Lord remains perfect in your weakness.<br />
Even Jesus left this life with scars of the world and<br />
so will you. Your Hope is abounding in Christ Jesus. <br />
Let Go and let God. The Lord is rerouting you now!<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;"> </span></div>

Several weeks ago, upon seeing pictures of an Appeal to Heaven flag being waved over the plains of Nineveh—the location of the first known transforming revival—I was extremely excited. I quickly sent the picture to one of my friends whose immediate response was, "Our prayers have tapped into the root of awakening in the earth." For the past year, connecting my personal testimony with the profound history pertaining to our nation's founding, I have been rallying <img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/DSheets_appealtoheaven_225px.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />the Church to make "an Appeal to Heaven."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In the midst of dismal circumstances, countless Believers have responded to this call. Based on what the Holy Spirit spoke to my friend, I believe the appeals to Heaven have been heard and we are now moving into the next phase of this new era—<strong>a Third Great Awakening that will impact the world!</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
We must be mindful, however, that successfully stepping into a new season calls for inquiring of the Lord concerning what we must do differently. Change will be necessary in order to come into proper alignment with the season, preparing us for what He wants to release to us and through us in this kairos time. <strong>One of the things I hear the Lord saying is that in this new season, we must pray differently.</strong></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Keys For Kingly Intercession</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Isaiah 22:22 and Matthew 16:18-19 are essential passages of Scriptures for shifting into this new aspect of prayer. Both mention "keys" as a way to illustrate the Believer's authority in the spirit realm. These keys are indispensable tools God is highlighting for igniting a prayer movement that will bring about a righteous turnaround in this nation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,<br />When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open."</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Isaiah 22:22</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in Heaven."</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Matthew 16:18-19</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Using our authority to open and close spiritual doors is an aspect of prayer I sometimes refer to as "kingly intercession."</strong> My understanding of this facet of prayer, which I will also call "governmental intercession," began with an unusual comment made to me by a prophet in the late 1980s and culminated with a statement the Lord made to me in 2002.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"God is going to bring the Church into the fresh age of the Melchizedek order, and you will be a part of initiating it," declared the prophet. I had no idea what this meant. Fast-forward approximately fifteen years to October 2002. I was praying for America, primarily concerning the judicial system, when I heard the Holy Spirit say, <span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;"><strong>"You will fully shift the government of America when the prayer movement fully shifts from priestly intercession only, to kingly intercession as well."</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Suddenly, I remembered what the prophet had said to me years ago. And, finally, I understood "the fresh age of the Melchizedek order." Grasping this revelation will expand our understanding of governmental or kingly intercession.</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Understanding The Melchizedek Order</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Melchizedek was first mentioned in Genesis 14, again in Psalm 110, and then once more in the book of Hebrews. He was a "type" or picture of Jesus in several ways, one of which was that he was both a king and a priest. At the time, this was unheard of. <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Zechariah 6:13</span>, a messianic verse describing Christ, refers to Him in His King-Priest role, <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"...Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>The function of a king was to rule, representing God's authority to people; the role of priests was to serve, representing the people to God.</strong> As our High Priest, Jesus represents our needs and desires to God. As the King, Christ represents and releases the rule, authority and will of God from Heaven to earth. His Kingly role is God-centered, while His Priestly responsibility is human-centered; one releases power and authority (king), the other love, mercy and grace (priest). <strong>The priestly role is petition or intercession-oriented; the kingly role is declarative, decreeing God's word and will.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As co-laborers, partners with and representatives of Jesus Christ, we have become extensions of His King-Priest role. Most Christians, though they may or may not think of it as priestly activity, realize that we are to offer up worship and prayer (petitions) from earth to Heaven. Almost none, however, have understanding or involvement in God's plan concerning our kingly representation of Christ (decrees). We are not only priests, we are a "royal (kingly) priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9), who have been given the keys of Kingdom authority in which to bind and loose, forbid and allow, close and open.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As Holy Spirit reemphasizes these prophetic words and Scriptures to me, I sense that He is calling His <em>ekklesia</em> to step fully into our responsibility for kingly intercession. The Lord is calling us to shift from merely petitioning the Father, to also making decrees (official orders, edicts or decisions), declarations (announcements or formal statements) and proclamations (the process of binding and loosing) as we are prophetically inspired by Holy Spirit to do so.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_biblelightbook_250px_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></strong>The power of God's decreed Word is extraordinary! It releases His creativity, His salvation, and yes, His judgments! He rules through His Words, and so must we. Consider these verses of Scripture:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"How forcible are right words!"</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Job 6:25</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"You will also decree a thing and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways."</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Job 22:28</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Jeremiah 1:9-10</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army." </span><span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Ezekiel 37:10</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Proverbs 18:21</span></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
The Time Is At Hand</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Even as I have heard God's clarion call to wield the Isaiah 22:22 key in the governmental arena once again (which you may read about <a href="http://elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=14291">here</a>), <strong>I sense that He is calling His ekklesia in America to pray with greater fervency and diligence concerning our national government, especially for the election in 2016</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
With several Supreme Court Justices reaching expected retirement ages over the next decade, new nominations to the bench will be forthcoming. The next President, especially if re-elected for a second term, could have a crucial influence on the future of the Supreme Court (the President appoints the Supreme Court nominees). This will, in many ways, determine the future of our nation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
We must fill the bowls of intercession in advance for these choices (Revelation 8:3-5). The Lord is inviting us to take the keys He has made available to us and fully shift our national government. <strong>The American church must go beyond asking and petitioning the Lord only, to also decreeing and declaring His will and purposes into the earth.</strong> We must move from merely presenting our case before God as priests, to decreeing the rule of Christ into every situation and circumstance. <strong>It's time to wield the keys of Kingdom authority and shift into kingly intercession.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Our appeals to Heaven truly are being answered. But let's do even more. It's time to agree with and boldly voice Heaven's decrees in order to establish Heaven's government on earth. I am persuaded that we can turn the tide in America through effective governmental intercession. The Lord's will can be accomplished in our land, and righteousness can be restored to the White House, Congress, and the judicial system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
America, the time is now. God is bringing forth the fresh age of the Melchizedek order. Be a part of it!</div>

An Old Dream Reawakened</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Recently I've had several prophetic events referring to a vivid dream I had in the mid-1990s. I feel that God is about to release and restore some foundational truths revealed in this dream – truths that God has waited to unveil. The time for the revealing has come!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.</span> <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Proverbs 25:2</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_autobahn_Bubo_bubo_wikimediacommons.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />As the dream begins, I'm driving with Bob Jones on the German autobahn. We're in a magnificent German automobile, driving at a very fast speed down a beautiful stretch of roadway. Bob and I are talking about past and pending moves of God. Bob then instructs me, saying, "When I tell you to, pull over to the side of the road and stop." I agreed. <em>(Photo by Bubo bubo via Wikimedia Commons)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In a few moments, Bob said, "I think this is the place! Pull over!" I slowed the car and pulled to a stop off the shoulder of the road. As we got out of the car, we saw that the shoulder fell off into a ditch that was quite steep, beyond which was an exceptionally tight barbed wire fence, obviously meant to keep out intruders. Surveying the surroundings closely, Bob said excitedly, "Yes! Yes! This is the right place!"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
He pointed out a small opening in the fence between the wires. Extremely thick brush had grown against the fence, but Bob pointed to a faint, unused path. It was encouraging to see Bob so excited and exceedingly happy that we had discovered the right place to gain entrance. It was difficult for us to walk down and back up the ditch to the fence, but we made it, and, with care, edged our way through the tightly woven barbed wire.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Once inside the fenced area, we began to make our way tediously up a hill through dense brush; the way was getting clearer and easier to travel with every step. I was eager to find out what our destination was, and I asked Bob, only to be told that he wasn't quite sure, but that we would surely find out when we arrived there!</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Through the Double Doors</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_William_Turner_Barn_Dlong417_wikimediacommons.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />The hill became steeper as we walked, and after a difficult climb up the mountain path, we arrived at a massive old barn. The barn itself was a wonderful work of outstanding craftsmanship, a work of art, extremely old yet in pristine condition. The barn had two very large doors that were locked with what appeared to be a large, stainless steel chain and master lock. I was sad and disappointed that we had made such a difficult climb – only to be locked out of our discovery. <em>(Photo by Dlong417 via Wikimedia Commons)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Bob beamed with a delightful smile, however, when I asked him if he knew the combination to the lock. Nodding his head as if to say, "You didn't even have to ask," he carefully began to turn the dial on the lock. I watched with great interest. He slowly turned the lock to the left five full turns, stopping at the number 3. Then he turned the dial to the right three full turns, stopping at the number 4, then back to the left, stopping at the number 1, then around to 6, then to 8, then back to the number 2.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
At this point, the lock clicked. It opened. I said to Bob, "I knew you would have used 3-4-1, but I didn't know about 6-8-2!" Bob answered, confident, "It is the time of the double! When you double 341, you have 682." And then he repeated, <strong>"This is a season of the double. Expect a time of grace, grace!"</strong></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
The House of Treasures</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
With great excitement and eager anticipation, Bob and I swung open the massive wooden doors! There was no need for electric lights because huge skylights flooded the barn with sunlight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The first thing we saw was a beautiful, hand-carved pulpit lying on its side. It almost blocked the entrance to the building. Our first chore was to set the pulpit upright and in its proper place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_lumber_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />Filled with anticipation, we moved even deeper into the building. I was stunned to discover that the building was packed from bottom to top with the most beautiful old lumber I had ever seen. It was numbered, cataloged, and stored in the most orderly manner. This was not ordinary wood – the beams were massive. The wood grain was wonderful beyond words. No beam was out of place. This was the lumber to reconstruct the Church! Every piece of wood was strong, brilliant, and beautiful. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I was truly amazed at the perfect order of the barn's contents – absent of all dust and cobwebs. Somehow I knew we were in a house of authentic treasures, and that God was going to use the prophetic in a powerful way to help rediscover and rebuild His lost treasures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In this dream given so long ago, Bob said, <strong>"This is the time of restoration of the foundational function for the Church."</strong></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
5775: Double Doors, Double Portion</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Deep within my spirit I know this dream has great importance for us in 2015, especially in the days ahead. An authentic reformation and radical revolution is about to return to the Church!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
It's interesting to consider some of the Hebraic meanings suggested within this dream, beginning with it being quickened to me once again at the beginning of 2015. On God's Hebrew calendar, this isn't 2015, but the year 5775, which began on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, on September 24, 2014.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As ancient Hebrew did not have numerals, but used the alphabet for its numbers (similar to the practice of ancient Rome, which used Roman numerals), it's curious to note that the numerals 5775 actually spell a Hebrew word,<em> Tish'eh</em>, which means <em>to take heed, to notice, to gaze at</em>. It can also be written<em> Ha'tish'eh</em>, which means <em>Will you pay heed?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>This year, we're being asked whether or not we will pay attention. To what?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_doubledoors2_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />Hebrew numbers are represented by letters – and the letters themselves form pictures, as most Bible students know. The 5775 forms a very distinct picture, letter by letter. Within the patterning and sequencing of the Hebrew letters, you will find an image of the Lord coming through double doors with a double portion, with His sword – His Word – warring over and nourishing His people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
How will we respond to this open double door opening with a double portion? Will we give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Church to rebuild and reform our foundational function?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Indeed, the third and fourth blood moons are fast approaching, once again on the two Jewish feast days of Passover and Sukkot, repeating the pattern of 2014. In 2014, the blood moons occurred on Passover and Sukkot; in 2015, the blood moons will occur once again on these same feast days, on April 4, 2015 (Passover) and September 28, 2015 (Sukkot). We have a "double portion" of two blood moons on two feast days. These same heavenly signs occurred in 1492, 1948, and 1967 – significant years in history. What significant event is upon us now?</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
A Double Portion of Intimacy</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_grangebarn_BrianSnelson_wikimediacommons.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />The Hebrew word translated "barn" can also be translated "threshing place." The threshing floor is indeed the place that is being opened to us now for this most significant season ahead. The threshing floor has been leveled and made smooth. It is a place where the wheat is separated from the chaff – the place where true treasures are discovered and stored. The threshing place is the treasured place where Ruth met her Boaz, where the Church meets her God – the place of profound intimacy. The threshing place is the place where the Beloved calls out to His Bride, <span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"Grace, grace!"</span> <em>(Photo by Brian Snelson via Wikimedia Commons)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
How do we open the lock to this place of intimacy? What is the combination? It is our love for our neighbor and our Beloved, who calls out to us, <span class="wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"Grace, grace,"</span> as we read in <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Song of Solomon 5:5</span>:</div>
<div class="script_text" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The 341 combination to unlock this intimacy with the Beloved is the <em>shama'</em> to Israel, calling them to take heed, to listen, and to obey, the grace of <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Isaiah 34:1</span>:</div>
<div class="script_text" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
"Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it."</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Double Blessings...To Be a Blessing</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
For many years, the number 341, the number to unlock the barn's lock in the dream, was significant to Bob Jones, given to him as a special sign from God beginning in 1980, and continuing throughout his lifetime as the Lord continued to guide him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Bonnie Jones reports that eventually she and Bob came to understand that the number 341 represented six things spiritually: 1) healing, 2) a holy convocation, 3) asking, 4) petitioning, 5) teaching received from God, and 6) prosperity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_key_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />We are being invited to draw near to God on the threshing floor, to find Him as our treasure, and to be built together into His Church. The key to unlocking this place of meeting is found in responding to His call of grace. God's grace brings gifts of healing and prosperity, but it also calls for a holy convocation of every Believer, a sanctification and setting-apart of ourselves from this world (see 2 Corinthians 7:1 AMP).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
We are being called to ask, seek, knock, and petition the Lord for wisdom and revelation directly from His throne (see James 1:5). He longs to speak to His Bride and pour out His manifest love and presence – so we will be prepared for the significant season ahead. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>

Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Believer, have you ever felt so down, so depressed and hopeless, that you just wanted to completely quit everything? I certainly have. I've been at that "burn out" place many times, and in this past season, it felt as if the flame to all of my passion was snuffed out! I have now realized that this can be a pattern for me. Keep in mind that I do not believe that it is God's best for me to always come to an end of myself...but, at the same time, in order to advance the Kingdom of God, self does have to end. Let me explain this a little further. Hang in there with me; <strong>I believe you will be empowered to shift in a greater way into fulfilling God's plans for your life in 2015.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I believe that 2015 will be a season that will require an atmosphere of <strong>great expectation</strong>. In fact, we will experience many answered prayers because we have "expected" God to move on our behalf. Actually, He desires to answer our prayers because it is also His heart to empower us to continue to advance the Kingdom. It is necessary that, as we gain more spiritual ground, we do not have an attitude of simply maintaining, but to know that breakthrough is given so that we continue advancing! However, the expectations that we have cannot be based upon our own abilities, gifts, and talents – otherwise we will fizzle out eventually. (Ask me how I know!) <strong>We must continue to cultivate an atmosphere of faith and expectation in God and His ability to perform what He has promised.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Zechariah 4:1-6</span> is one of my most favorite passages. For the sake of space, I will keep the revelation of this short; so, my main focus is this particular verse: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, 'This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, <strong>"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,"</strong> saith Jehovah of hosts'"</span> (<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">ASV, with emphasis</span>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<span class="script_ref1"><a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/i-slept-but-my-heart-was-awake-18-1-2-x-22-by-donna-smallenberg/"><img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/ART-DS013.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></a></span>If you recall, the prophet was awakened by an angel and was given a vision. A few months ago, I wrote an article which was posted on <a href="http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=14123">The Elijah List</a>concerning an "awakening angel" with messages concerning the Body of Christ awakening to the plans and purposes of God. The awakening angel was also a "scribe angel." As the angel spoke to me in a vision, I documented several messages and Scriptures. One passage in particular involved our entering into a season of increased dreams and visions. As we do this, our hearts must remain "awake" to receive God's directives. The Scripture given to me was <span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Song of Solomon 5:2 (AMP)</span>: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake..."</span><em>(Photo by Donna Smallenberg <a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/i-slept-but-my-heart-was-awake-18-1-2-x-22-by-donna-smallenberg/">"I Slept, But My Heart Was Awake"</a> via elijahshopper.com)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Zerubbabel was given a vision of the candlestick, such as the one in the temple. Again, there is much revelation in this passage, but I want to point out that the Church is also a candlestick, just as Jesus Himself is the candlestick. With the Church in mind, I want to say that Jesus said, "I will build My Church." However, it also up to us to co-labor with Him and allow Him to empower us to work alongside Him to fulfill Heaven's vision for establishing His Kingdom on Earth. It can seem overwhelming at times, especially if we believe it is up to "us" to use "our strength" to build it. I believe that is why the Lord told the prophet that it would not be done by might nor power...but by His Spirit</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
A Season on Expectation and Answered Prayers!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Precious saint, we are entering into a new season. Yes, we are on the verge of breaking into a realm where Heaven truly touches Earth and we see the results of our prayers from this past season(s). Also, many prayer directives will be given during the night season and through visions. It's not that we haven't been praying...it's all about His timing! <strong>It's time for a shift. But, it is also time to have an expectation again.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
If God said He would build His Church, and if He said that His government would increase, then I am expecting that to occur (see Isaiah 9:7).<strong> In this year, we are entering into a season of answered expectations.</strong>Therefore, again, it's important to maintain an atmosphere of great expectation. <strong>Expect breakthrough, expect miracles, and expect the supernatural manifestation of God.</strong> Allow passion to arise once again, knowing that it's not in your own ability to perform these things – it's God promising them!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
God moves in atmospheres of expectation. If you remember the story of when Jesus turned the water into wine, Mary, the mother of Jesus, expected something to occur. She went to Jesus and told Him they had completely run out of wine. Allow me to paraphrase His response..."So, what is it to do with Me? My time hasn't come to do miracles yet. The Father hasn't released Me to do anything about that!" Mary turned immediately to the servants, expecting Jesus to still do something about the problem, and said "Get ready...He's about to give you some instructions!" (paraphrased, see John 2).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Can you see that Mary walked in an atmosphere of expectation? Dear one, God desires to do the same for us today. He desires to move on our behalf. Everything we need to advance forward has already been provided at the Cross – yet it is up to us to expect.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_pregnant_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />An expectation is not hope...it is an <em>eager expectation</em> of what will happen. There is no room for doubt where there is expectation!<strong>The Lord desires that we enter into 2015 expecting answers to our prayers and expecting promises to be fulfilled. Much of the expectation within us is fueled by the fact that the Body of Christ has been pregnant with vision. Just as a woman, in the natural, can be said to be someone who is "expecting," so it is the same with the Church. We are pregnant with vision and, therefore, expecting! </strong><em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Many years ago (actually, almost 40 years now!), I became ill every morning. When I went to the doctor, he said, "Sandie, there's nothing seriously wrong with you...you are expecting!" Of course, we know that for a woman to be "expecting," she is also "pregnant." Believer, are you pregnant with vision? If you are, and let me confirm to you... you are! Therefore, you are "expecting"! Align your thoughts now...and say aloud...<em><strong>I am expecting! I am pregnant with an expectation!</strong></em></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Pregnant With Vision</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As Believers in Christ, we need to think differently about being pregnant with vision. It is time to shift our focus from how difficult the season is (like the discomfort a mother might feel during the nine months of carrying a child)...to developing a spiritual atmosphere of excitement and expectation! As one who was pregnant in the natural, I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that one day I would see the vision of what I was carrying. I "expected" to birth! When we are "expecting," we therefore "expect" to birth! <strong>Believers, we must also expect to birth what we have been praying for and believing God to do – for our families, our ministries, for us personally, and in the marketplace.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
There are many Biblical examples of those who were pregnant with vision. Simeon was one of them. He was told by the Lord that he would not die until he saw the Messiah (see Luke 2:25-30). We talked about Mary, the mother of Jesus earlier, but think about how she learned to actually "expect" an answer. Remember, she became pregnant with the seed of the Holy Spirit and was, therefore, "expecting." Of course, she birthed what the Holy Spirit entrusted to her, which was the Son of God, Jesus.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
But think about this...what did she do during the hard times? How did she press through her own narrow places? For instance, I'm sure the devil targeted her thought life just as he does ours. He probably tempted her with words like..."Sure, you just thought the Holy Spirit visited you..." Yet, she fully received, by faith, expected God to fulfill His words to her, and she later gave birth. <strong>Her responsibility was to receive and later birth, but it was all empowered by the Spirit!</strong> Again, not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_crosskneeling_250px_pixabay.jpg" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />Yet, Mary endured some hard times. Think on this a bit. She was pregnant, but not married – she had to press past local gossip. She could not allow herself to receive shame for her condition. No! She had to keep believing and trusting the Father. Then, after she birthed the Promise, she had to move that Promise to several places for protection because an enemy (King Herod) sought to destroy it! Then, later, she endured watching that Promise suffer at the Cross. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Have you had promises that are at the Cross right now? I know I have had some challenges, and yes, some of my promises seem to be at the Cross... It is as if God is asking, <em>Will you endure until this is completely birthed? </em>I am answering, <em>YES</em>... even though I feel burned out. As many of you, right now, I am expecting passion to arise once again. Believer, what is your answer? I pray you can embrace this new season...EXPECT!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
When an expecting, expectant mother delivers, it is the most joyful of times! I can relate in the natural, but when you have a prayer answered, it is the same as being pregnant with vision and having that vision become reality before your eyes. Precious one, you are entering into a new season...toss unbelief to the side...let go of all limitations that hinder you...it is time for breakthrough!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I have gone to great length to prepare Believers to cross over into a new season by writing several books. I would highly recommend two of them right now as I desire you to experience breakthrough: <a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/letting-go-of-your-limitations-by-sandie-freed/">Letting Go of Your Limitations: Experiencing God's Transforming Power</a> and <a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/faith-after-failure-reconnecting-with-your-destiny-by-sandie-freed/">Faith After Failure: Reconnecting With Your Destiny</a>. No matter what you might consider a failure – God sees that failure as potential maturity and spiritual growth.</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Evil Hindrances</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
With what has the devil tempted you? About what has he lied to you? Do you believe it is all up to you to shift territories, shift your business, or even shift yourself into breakthrough? The enemy would like for us to believe that lie. Satan is, as the Word says, a liar and a deceiver; he will lie to you concerning God's faithfulness and His ability to empower you to fulfill destiny! Yet, we must "awaken" to truth!<strong> We are overcomers and there is nothing impossible for God! Now, let that sink in! Keep reading – more empowerment awaits you!</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I know, for a fact, that 2014 was personally one of my most challenging years. Yet, though I might be weak now, I know for a fact I am in reality stronger. After all, He promises to strengthen us, day after day, after day, right? You have been hindered from birthing because the enemy has targeted your future. King Hezekiah endured this type of pressure. While completely surrounded by the Assyrians, he said<span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;"> "...Thus says Hezekiah: 'This day is a day of trouble and distress and of rebuke and of disgrace; for children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth'" </span>(<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Isaiah 37:3 AMP</span>).</div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
The Narrow Place</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_narrowroadsign_pixabay.png" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />The word "trouble" in this passage means "narrow place." It is an appropriate translation for a person who is "expecting" because, during delivery of the promised seed, it must pass through a very narrow place, right? And, as Hezekiah said, it feels as if you have carried this vision for a long time, you've warred over it, you've stood firm...and yet there is little strength to fully deliver.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Yes, you are in that narrow place – pregnant with vision – and the enemy is hurling false accusations at you. Do you feel too weak to fully birth what God has promised? If so, then please be encouraged today. The grace of God is available, right now, to empower you to rise up with great expectation for your future. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>

Expect and Have Faith Today!</div>

Apostle Paul exhorts us to not be as the children of Israel who had hard hearts and had unbelief concerning God's goodness. They were unable to leave their slavery mentality in Egypt. Allow me to address any unbelief or hardness of heart that we are tempted to carry into our new season. I believe it is time to completely let go of any hindrance that attempts to block our future. Take a moment and read Hebrews 3:7-19. Paul encouraged the Hebrews to hear God's voice, to shift from doubt and unbelief, and to EXPECT to enter into rest – all because that is what God promised!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Believer, what has God promised you? Will you hear His voice today? You can be expectant NOW, while it is still TODAY. I am in agreement with you today that 2015 will be a year of great expectation and answered prayers.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>I have told many others that 2015 is also the year of "the dreamer." Dream big. Don't be afraid to dream again. Many of your dreams and desires are also God's dreams and desires for your life.</strong> In this new season, expect more supernatural encounters through heavenly dreams and visions. Song of Solomon 5:2 says that though we might be asleep, our hearts remain awake. Isn't it comforting to know that every time we dream, our hearts remain awakened to His voice and His perfect will? Therefore, knowing that He is trustworthy, let's get truly excited about 2015 and expect God's best!</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421505309352_453946" style="font-weight: 700;">As we entered into the Hebraic year of 5775 we looked into the Biblical and Hebrew symbolism of "75" or "ayin hey."</span> In Hebrew the alphabet letters have a corresponding numerical values, as well as pictorial symbolisms.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421505309352_453945" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

Ayin: 70 is pictorially symbolic in that it has two eyes which represent the ability to perceive, and the choice of good or evil. Ayin is a silent letter and therefore although it sees with two eyes it does not speak, which is thought to be symbolic of humility. It can also be translated as a "fountain" of wisdom, or an "eye."</div>

Hey: 5 is symbolic of the picture of a tent door (dalet) with a hand (yod). <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RfMIxm7dIO7f7HjEkDNqVHCZTmekF0cCTuVNyAT5hJYpBWfMdMHgRQlmMA5Z6QuSW5Xji0NX33YacZM3WPoKUE6WmL2vID4sDUmeIPuAcpQb79_WfE0iqp_9U5Ab1_D-4VD1jpz53k5Te85AbPJSJ0FE_4kU05psujCR_TM5wlIQYtjGo_zG7dfltcHm99IlwERGrP6Qemf078t0xtvZInI1zre-SMgO5R2a8tLDGYIJVJBe6ZjZuQ==&c=K43hHYjX3uQBTi5yP-qZmtYNrLas0bMWzR9hjXvu1ljGRANVfFt7zA==&ch=yvKF63D-J7NgQlQHvfMZ-y7WW6fop5o7NXxCtl3ZbREPfmV-hDUxtw==" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421505309352_453951" rel="nofollow" style="background: transparent; color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Hebrew4christians.com</a> says: "Since hey is formed from dalet and yod, it can also be a picture of returning to God by means of the transforming power of the Spirit.

My assignment was to release the double portion. As the Holy Spirit was moving through me in this apostolic portal, it became quite clear to me that we were being caught up into a prophetic vortex of multiple whirlwinds of timing and destiny with the Lord. <em id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421505309352_458795">(Photo via Curt Landry with Chuck Pierce)</em></div>

My first revelation was that 5775 was a year that God sees and God releases great grace. I had waves of the Father's love flowing through me saying, <span style="font-weight: 700;"><span class="yiv8722882139wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"Son, I want you to see as I see, and experience grace as I give grace."</span></span></div>

I knew that this level of grace and revelation that the Lord desired to release into His Body could only be received in a spiritual state of supernatural Sabbath rest. The Scripture resounded in my spirit that during this Shmita year, a Sabbath rest year, <span style="font-weight: 700;">that this would be a work of the Holy Spirit, and would not be by might nor by power, but truly by His Spirit in a divine <em>moed</em>—meaning<em> in God's appointed time.</em></span></div>

For 20 years I have enjoyed studying and teaching about Biblical numerology. I have witnessed the prophetic pulses of God made manifest through His numbers many times. But when a real shift is going to take place, I have observed that not only do the numbers line up, but the apostles line up, as well.</div>

Jennifer LeClaire, Fort Lauderdale, FL</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Every year we set our hearts on a new beginning of some sort—but 2015 is different than 2014, 2013, 2012 and the years before. That's because 2015, as the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, is <strong>the year of new beginnings</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The most significant new beginning of my life happened in a jail cell about 15 years ago. I was falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit. After losing my husband the year before, I lost just about everything else I had during the 40 days it took to see my vindication. I lost my apartment, my job, my savings, my dog—it sort of sounds like one of those sad country songs. (You can read my entire testimony <a href="http://jenniferleclaire.org/about/testimony">here</a>.) But I gained Christ and I consider everything else worthless compared with the value of knowing Him (Phil. 3:8).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong><img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_rainbowcharisma_250px_charisma.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></strong>Nothing can top my salvation experience, but I do believe 2015 will prove to be a year of new beginnings—notice the Holy Spirit told me beginnings (plural) and not beginning (singular). In 2014, many in the Body of Christ sensed they were being prepared for something—something they couldn't articulate. Many felt like they were being stretched beyond their natural limits. Many thought and felt they were pregnant with something big and felt the pain and frustration of being past due. <em>(Photo via Charisma)</em></div>

A Year of Birthings</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I believe 2015 is a year of new beginnings and that means birthings. Last year, Ken Malone had a prophetic vision that shook him and the Lord impressed upon him that we are in a season of giving birth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<em>"I saw and heard the radical remnant of the Lord pregnant with the dreams and visions of the Lord. They were pregnant with the purposes of God in the earth. Many are pregnant with awakening revival for their nation, cities and families. Others are pregnant with a harvest of souls. Still others are pregnant with signs, wonders and miracles. Then there are those who are pregnant with His presence, intercession and gifts of the Holy Spirit,"</em> Malone writes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<em>"The radical remnant I saw and am seeing is beyond full term. Something is keeping them from delivering God's purpose. The remnant is not able to deliver. Groaning and travail as with a woman in pain of childbirth is on the remnant. But no one can deliver. Suddenly, I began to see why we could not deliver. The accuser of the brethren was standing there making accusation against the remnant. Dreams and visions from the Lord are being held hostage in the womb of the sons and daughters of the Lord by this accuser."</em></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
Preparing for New Beginnings</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
You can read the <a href="http://www.charismamag.com/blogs/prophetic-insight/21109-we-are-in-a-season-of-giving-birth">rest of his vision</a>, which will encourage your heart, but I would encourage you to get ready for the birthing that will bring the new beginning. 2015 is a year of new beginnings. That means some of you are going to birth some things. That means you may be a little uncomfortable in 2015. It means you will face some transition. It means you may enter into travail. It means you will face the accuser of the brethren and engage in spiritual warfare at new levels. But you will win! It will be worth it!</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: -webkit-center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>What is your part to play in this birthing unto new beginnings?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Let me get real practical with you and offer four keys to equip you for this season.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>1. Give your will over to the Lord.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
What you are birthing may seem scary to you or it may seem insignificant to you. It may seem overwhelming to you. We can take a lesson from Mary. It's time to face your fears—fear of the unknown, fear of failing, fear of rejection, fear of transition. When the angel came to Mary and told her she would birth the Son of God, she ultimately responded: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"I am the servant of the Lord. May it be unto me according to your word"</span> (Luke 1:38).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>2. Be willing to adjust your schedule.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong><em><img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_pregnant_250px.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></em></strong>When you are expecting a baby, you are preparing for its birth. Women, we change the way we eat, the way we sleep, how we spend our time. As we prepare to enter a year of new beginnings and birthings, we must be willing to adjust our schedules and to spend more time in the Word, in worship and in prayer. That may mean giving up other things. <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Therefore, since we are encompassed with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us"</span> (<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Heb. 12:1</span>, emphasis added).<em> (Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>3. Be willing to shift your direction.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I've had a number of baby dreams over the years. In one of my baby dreams I was nine months pregnant but the baby had stopped moving. The baby wasn't kicking or rolling or showing any sign of life. I thought the baby was dead and I panicked. Then, suddenly, I had the unction to shift the baby's position with gentle pressure from my hand. (I later researched this and discovered there's a name for it: the Diaphragmatic Release.) When I did, I could feel the baby kicking again. I knew all was well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Sometimes things look dead but you just have to reposition yourself for life. It doesn't always take much. Just one gentle movement in the right direction can cause God to breathe on that thing again so you can birth it and begin nurturing what God has given you to steward. But you need to hear from the Lord about which way to shift. Remain close to the Holy Spirit, and <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left"</span> (<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Is. 30:21</span>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
If God has given you something to birth, it may be time to pull an Ezekiel and speak to those dry bones. It may be time to pull an Elijah and raise it from the dead. It may be time to walk away from the Ishmael. Refuse to abort and just reposition yourself to receive what God intended all along. You could just be in the wrong place or in the wrong time or with the wrong people. Listen to the Lord.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>4. Embrace the transition.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Transitions are difficult. This is the place where people tend to grow weary and faint. The moments right before you give birth to that new thing—before you enter that new beginning—are the hardest of all. I'll write a follow up article in the coming weeks on transitions that will equip you as we move into this year of new beginnings. Amen.</div>

In order to fully understand God's works in these days, we must go back to the year 2012 and examine the progression of God's highest purposes. In 2012 the Lord began to establish His divine rule over those who had a desire to live more fully in His Kingdom. As a result of the establishment of His government, the Lord began to bring His people into divine order, and this was the main focus of 2013.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
God's order established in our lives brought us into prophetic alignment in 2014. <strong>The Spirit of the Lord has positioned us in front of the spiritual doors that prophetic motion will move us through and will reveal the pathway that will lead us into the fulfillment of our destiny.</strong></div>

Do you see the door that is before you? Have you positioned yourself by faith to access what I am providing? Walk the path before you, and you will find what I have prepared for you. You will not miss it, for it is your greatest desire to go on with Me. I will walk the path of life with you and I will reveal to you the greatness of your destiny. I encourage you to go higher than you have been before. I will be the breath beneath your wings that will lift you into spiritual places that you have not yet seen. Come, and enjoy the journey."</span> <em>(Photo via Freeimages)</em></div>

Walk The Pathway to Prophetic Destiny</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>This path will lead to spiritual understanding of God's purposes </strong>for each of us. There will be designated places on this path that will become flash points of God's glory that will transform and enlighten the spirit of man.</div>

God Will Provide You "Prophetic Motion"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The term "prophetic motion" was defined in a vision as being <strong>a time of spiritual movement, activity, advancement, and acceleration.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
In the vision, I was standing outside of our Church building when I saw a giant wave coming toward the Church. At first, I thought it was a wave of water, but as it came closer, I could see that it was not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/river-of-life-by-lillis-boyer/"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/ART-LB008M.png" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></a>I saw what looked like a cloud of electrical impulses – lights that flashed back and forth through the cloud, bringing colors of the rainbow into play. <em>(Photo by Lillis Boyer<a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/river-of-life-by-lillis-boyer/">"River of Life"</a> via elijahshopper.com)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I then understood that this was the glory of God coming to the Church as described in<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Habakkuk 3:3-4</span>: <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">"God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was hidden."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
As I watched this cloud of glory come to the Church, I saw people who had been aligned with the spiritual doors of this last season. <strong>They were patiently waiting to go through the door, but were unsure of themselves. Then, the glory of God came upon them and provided the "prophetic motion" that was required for movement through the door and onto the path that provided spiritual life.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Thus, the spiritual journey for this next season begins.</strong> The path leads us up the mountain of God. We will go higher in this season than ever before. It will be a time of spiritual elevation for those who follow the path of life. And...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The "Season of Wings" has begun, and we will be enabled by the Holy Spirit to go higher into realms of the Spirit. If we are to know God more completely, then we must go higher.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

Divine health will become a new reality to those who learn to abide in the presence of the Holy Spirit.<em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>

<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Romans 8:11</span> <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The Holy Spirit will give spiritual life by quickening your body with spiritual power that will invigorate you so that divine healing will flow. Spending time in the presence of the One who has the gift of healing (see 1 Corinthians 12:9) will bring the "times of refreshing" that is needed by the Body of Christ.</div>

An Epic New Sound</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>A new sound is being brought forth by those who are truly the psalmists of this season. </strong>I was reminded of this reality when I was preparing this message. I heard this new sound (music) audibly in our house. I thought that Marsha might be playing her keyboard, but upon inquiring of her, she was not playing, and no other source of music in our house was discovered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I then understood that the Lord was calling attention to what He has in mind, which is that a new sound will bring expansion to the pathways that are being established in this season. This sound will produce visions and will birth prophetic words to give direction and reveal God's hidden mysteries – those reserved for such a time as this.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
The glory of this season has been defined in prophetic words as <em>legendary</em> and<em>epic</em>. Legendary is defined as something told about in a legend; historic content. Epic is defined as very imposing or impressive, surpassing the ordinary.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>Word by Marsha Burns: </strong>This season will present opportunities to interact with history supernaturally. It's going to be big – the stuff that legends are made of. But, individually, we must stay focused and not be distracted with temporary and trivial pursuits.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

2015: The Conclusion</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
This season will bring glorious opportunities to the Body of Christ. Tremendous spiritual growth will come to those who choose to allow God's prophetic motion to move them into His purposes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
I assure you that you will not be disappointed if you choose to take this spiritual journey into 2015.</div>

Some of you had gotten to a place that you thought that you would never attain in your life and in fact, for a time you thought God was finished with you! It was another level in God for you but now since you have gotten to this place, you are going through another dry season again; another hall of transition. You are now feeling unfulfilled again and yes, even useless, but the Lord wants you to know <span class="text_exposed_show" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">that it is time to go deeper into Him for He is the fountain that will never run dry!

He is saying that you have also not seen the miracles that God has promised to bring through your hands but as you come deeper again into Him, that through your love relationship with Him, you will not only be satisfied but, through the overflow of it, there will be a continuous flow of miracles, signs and wonders that will follow you! The Lord says, “There will again be a flow of revelation and inspiration that will be poured out to you but again I have brought you to your need of me and your need to find another depth to me. Draw into my wooing. Press past the distractions and make Me your focus.”<span style="line-height: 25.6000003814697px;"> </span></div>

Do not allow the enemy to bring hopelessness to you again for this is only a time of coming into His rest and realignment! As the Apostle John did, this is a time to “lay your head on His breast and hear His heartbeat.” It is not you that the world needs but me. You can do nothing without abiding in the vine. It is time to abide again! It is time to come away and draw near for I have new plans and new strategies for the new season that is about to begin. Stop feeling guilty about this rest and flow with my leading. Stop resisting. Yes, stretch out your arms in this refreshing stream. Flow and rest in Me until we get to your next destination for it is a place of great glory!! Yes, this stream will refresh, restore and renew you for the greater glory that is about to come forth out of you and upon you!</div>

For 2015 the Lord has emphasized a few things that I believe will be helpful to you as you integrate these into your life. God is good. He is for us. His ultimate goal is to transform us into the image of His Son Jesus. Through a rested life in His Presence, valuing the things that He values and helping us to better see as He sees, He will cause us to overcome this year. What does it mean to overcome? It means we go "over the top" of every and any obstacle and hindrance and into an overwhelming victory.</div>

In the Book of Ezra we see how the Jewish people prospered through the prophesying of Haggai and Zechariah. At the time they were rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, facing opposition through discouraging words. But God had sent them these prophets of God to help them overcome and attain victory in the building of the house of God.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420959212767_57235" style="font-weight: 700;">God gives us a promise to deliver us when we set our whole heart to seek His face. God is faithful. He is consistent. He is not shifting back and forth, but His thoughts toward us are anchored in the good plans that He has for us.</span> Jesus, the outlaying of God, showed us the Father through His works of love and sacrifice. When God receives our fully committed heart to His desires, He moves Heaven and earth on our behalf.</div>

God has called His people to ascend into the high places of His Presence. The enemy would have us stay "earth-bound" keeping us from soaring as eagles in prophetic vision and purpose, seeing from Heaven's view. Worship causes us to ascend in the Spirit experiencing the glory and Presence of God, also simultaneously filling out spiritual tanks to walk in victory.</div>

The truth is we live in two different realms of existence. In the natural we walk the earth, and in the Spirit we soar and fly with a view being seated with Christ in heavenly realms. </div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">With this understanding, we must also arm ourselves with the truth that we need to fight through worship-warfare to take ground in the Spirit.</span></div>

Seeing Jesus</div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">God wants to open our spiritual eyes to see Jesus as He really is.</span> He is the irresistible God-man who is consumed with the Father's desires. In His earthly ministry, Jesus was completely focused on the one passion of doing His Father's will. Then we see the results of that passion in the way He helped people through manifesting Heaven on earth in healings and miracles – manifesting the Father's glory. This is the real Jesus that is absolutely addictive to the hungry heart. This is the Jesus we want to see and the Jesus the world is needing to see. <span style="font-weight: 700;">Get a fresh vision of who Jesus really is in 2015.</span></div>

Favor is the blessing of God upon our lives that overflow us. God has a vast inheritance that He wants His people to lay hold of. When the favor of God is put upon our lives it is almost like "surprise blessings" that are inexplicable. <span style="font-weight: 700;">Ask for God to reveal His favor to you in a fresh way this year.</span> His favor has nothing to do with our works, but rather comes because we trust in the Lord with all of our heart. When God has our heart, He has everything that we are.</div>

This year spend time waiting in His Presence. Don't rush. See the eternal value of spending time in the Presence of the Lord. There is no limit to what God can do in these times.

Overflow Global Ministries is the ministry of <span style="font-weight: 700;">John and Brandi Belt</span>. The heart of their message is that God's greatest desire is to indwell His people with His presence. They believe that man was created to be inhabited by God through His Spirit. With a sincere devotion to God through the Holy Spirit, people can live in a place of overflow in His presence. This overflow translates into touching the lives of others through living encounters with God. When John and Brandi minister, the intimate presence of God is manifest – being accompanied with demonstrations of God's power to heal, revive, and restore.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420790138992_254522" style="font-weight: 700;">A line of separation is being drawn between your past (2014) and your now (2015). Now is the time to turn from the past recognizing that it can no longer limit your present nor hinder your future. Walk in the moment and embrace the future that is before you. This is a significant time in your life and you owe this time everything you have in order to proceed into the manifestation that awaits you.</span></div>

Let go of past frustrations and don't allow them to marginalize you, delay you, or hold you back from achieving the fulfillment of the coming promises. Look with eyes of great expectancy. This is not a year for the disappointments of your past to be entangled with what is before you. What you prepare for will be measured by what you do, what you say, and how you see it.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420790138992_254529" style="font-weight: 700;">God is releasing a pattern for a mindset that will impact how we achieve based on how we perceive.</span> By allowing our past mindset to rule present thinking, we limit our future and become a great hindrance to our ability to access newly present possibilities. We must have an outlook that carries renewed faith and the momentum to blaze new trails and open new doors.</div>

This year brings with it a reality that will break the yoke of any delusions off the minds of God's people. Many will awake from the reality of what they feared they could not overcome and find that the delusion has been cleared like a smoke and the way out revealed. In 2015 the chains will be broken, and many will feel as if they awoke from a deep sleep. A sleep where they fought for a way out only to awake to divine direction with inroads prepared by the very hands of God.</div>

Many accomplishments and discoveries will be created and found in the area of <span style="font-weight: 700;">healing and medical research</span>. There will be great advancements of technology achieved.

Those who have suffered in areas of mental illness and those who are vexed by spirits of infirmity will experience deliverance with wholeness of mind and spirit during moves of God.

The Marketplace From Mending to Making Nets</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
This is the year where we will transition in the marketplace from mending nets to making networks. <span style="font-weight: 700;">There will be a convergence of a new breed of people who will enter the financial arena working with groups who walk in demonstration, carrying a depth of revelation concerning multiplication and increase.</span> In the midst of this strong fusion will come a new flow of Holy Ghost power in the marketplace. There will be a breakdown of financial systems, but new strategies will direct them on how to navigate through some of the financial woes.</div>

You see, as a pastor of a new church going through her first Christmas, I too wonder,<em> Should a wiser one than me be doing this?</em> I am gripped with concern as I consider the joy and sorrow of the families in front of me and tremble as I attempt to hold the hearts of God's precious children during this most tender time of the year. We all can identify with this type of worry no matter what we are called to do for the Kingdom of God. You see, we are all called, as Mary was, to bring forth Jesus to a world that is in desperate need for faith, hope, and love. Yet, I think we all wonder, <em>God, do you think I am wise enough?</em></div>

God had given Bezalel the enormous task of creating the furniture that would go in the Tabernacle so that God could dwell with His children. Now, we're not just talking any home here, we are talking the HOUSE OF GOD! Bezalel was to work with gold, silver, and precious jewels and make a masterpiece for the Master of the universe according to the pattern of His design that He created in Heaven. Easy peasy...NOT!</div>

I love to decorate and have even been hired to decorate homes for Christmas. The specific thing I like to do is to take family memories, old treasures, and create something modern and fresh. I say all this simply because I understand the pressure of trying to make someone's home something special for them.</div>

Scripture doesn't reveal if Bezalel had any of the doubts and fears that we all face. It doesn't reveal if he wondered if he was wise enough for the job. I can only imagine what must have been running through Bezalel's head when he got commissioned to the task. However, what Scripture does reveal is that God called him and filled him with His Spirit in order to do what he was called to do.</div>

This portion of Scripture tucked away in the Book of Exodus is there to speak to us even today. You see, there was a reason God used a person named Bezalel and that it is recorded in the pages of Scripture for all of us to read. Names were very important in Biblical times and often expressed character and destiny.</div>

To dwell in the shadow of the Almighty is to dwell in the shadow of El Shaddai, the All Sufficient God. When we dwell in His presence, we have exactly what we need for whatever situation or task we are called to. You see, when we dwell in God, we dwell in all that He is.

God is searching for people who will allow Him to overshadow them and be filled with power from on high and to bring hope to the hurting. Beloved, it is God who empowers us to perform whatever He has called us to today. Whether it is to give a kind answer to the person who is yelling at you, to be a listening ear to the one who is overwhelmed, or a genuine embrace to the one who is hurting, God will equip you to do it.</div>

Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”</em><br />
<br />
The parents of a twenty-five-year-old man came to see me with a common request: they wanted me to “fix” their son, Bill. When I asked where Bill was, they answered, “Oh, he didn’t want to come.”<br />
<br />
“Why?” I asked.<br />
<br />
“Well, he doesn’t think he has a problem,” they replied.<br />
<br />
“Maybe he’s right,” I said, to their surprise. “Tell me about it.”<br />
<br />
They recited a history of problems that had begun at a very young age. Bill had never been “quite up to snuff” in their eyes. In recent years he had exhibited problems with drugs and an inability to stay in school and find a career.<br />
<br />
It was apparent that they loved their son very much and were heartbroken over the way he was living. They had tried everything they knew to get him to change and live a responsible life, but all had failed. He was still using drugs, avoiding responsibility, and keeping questionable company.<br />
<br />
They told me that they had always given him everything he needed. He had plenty of money at school so “he wouldn’t have to work and he would have plenty of time for study and a social life.” When he flunked out of one school, or stopped going to classes, they were more than happy to do everything they could to get him into another school, “where it might be better for him.”<br />
<br />
After they had talked for a while, I responded: “I think your son is right. He doesn’t have a problem.” You could have mistaken their expression for a snapshot; they stared at me in disbelief for a full minute. Finally the father said, “Did I hear you right? You don’t think he has a problem?”<br />
<br />
“That’s correct,” I said. “He doesn’t have a problem. You do. He can do pretty much whatever he wants, no problem. You pay, you fret, you worry, you plan, you exert energy to keep him going. He doesn’t have a problem because you have taken it from him. Those things should be his problem, but as it now stands, they are yours. Would you like for me to help you help him to have some problems?”<br />
<br />
They looked at me like I was crazy, but some lights were beginning to go on in their heads. “What do you mean, ‘help him to have some problems’?” his mother asked.<br />
<br />
“Well,” I explained, “I think that the solution to this problem would be to clarify some boundaries so that his actions cause him problems and not you.”<br />
<br />
“What do you mean, ‘boundaries’?” the father asked.<br />
<br />
“Look at it this way. It is as if he’s your neighbor, who never waters his lawn. But, whenever you turn on your sprinkler system, the water falls on his lawn. Your grass is turning brown and dying, but Bill looks down at his green grass and thinks to himself, ‘My yard is doing fine.’ That is how your son’s life is. He doesn’t study, or plan, or work, yet he has a nice place to live, plenty of money, and all the rights of a family member who is doing his part.<br />
<br />
“If you would define the property lines a little better, if you would fix the sprinkler system so that the water would fall on your lawn, and if he didn’t water his own lawn, he would have to live in dirt. He might not like that after a while. As it stands now, he is irresponsible and happy, and you are responsible and miserable. A little boundary clarification would do the trick. You need some fences to keep his problems out of your yard<br />
and in his, where they belong.”<br />
<br />
“Isn’t that a bit cruel, just to stop helping like that?” the father asked.<br />
<br />
“Has helping him helped?” I asked.<br />
<br />
His look told me that he was beginning to understand.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.boundariesbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Boundaries-Unhealed.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #b11611; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Boundaries-Unhealed" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2320" src="http://www.boundariesbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Boundaries-Unhealed.jpg" height="236" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 2.4rem 2.4rem; max-width: 100%; text-align: right; width: auto;" width="350" /></a>Unhealed relational wounds drive us to compulsive attempts to repair the damage. That is, without being aware of it, we seek out people we believe can “fix” what’s wrong with us or help us find a piece of ourselves we feel is missing. We function emotionally like the starving man who looks in a dumpster and sees lunch instead of garbage. His perception is so driven by his need that he is willing to eat something that might make him sick.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Though we may not be aware of it, something in us wants completeness. God has “set eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and we long for him and the full life he promises. But if we remain unaware of the powerful forces at work within us, such as our family dynamic and how we responded to it, we can be blind to its influence and seek out the completeness we lack by making all the wrong choices. For example, consider the following scenarios:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem 4rem; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: disc;">The overly nice person lacks assertiveness and the ability to confront, so he attracts controlling and aggressive people.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: disc;">The overly angry person can’t allow herself to feel helpless or sad, so she finds empathic people who won’t confront her moods.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: disc;">The rigid, black-and-white person is not able to let go of control, so he seeks out spontaneous, creative people who won’t try to control him.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: disc;">The over-responsible, guilt-ridden person lacks self-care, so she finds self-absorbed people who care for no one but themselves.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Of course, the problem is that these kinds of responses do not reflect God’s intentions for us. And they don’t lead to healthy or fulfilling connections.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
These missing pieces are part of what is called the “internalization process.” We become who we are by incorporating experiences that we have with other people. On a developmental level, kids come into this life incomplete. In the process of healthy development, they receive safety and acceptance and develop assertiveness, self-control, and self-care that prepare them for life on their own. Once internalization is complete, we become functioning adults who are called to pursue wholeness; or, in Jesus’ words, “What I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity” (Matthew 5:48).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
What Jesus means is that he wants us to be mature and complete. But we are not complete. We have missing pieces—soul holes we carry from childhood into adulthood. The path to completeness or wholeness is to find a relational context, such as a healthy church, small group, mentor, or therapist, who can help us finish the emotional work that enables us to grow into the capacities we lack and become who we are meant to be.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
This is especially important in romantic relationships, where there is often a glitch in our emotional hardware. We feel strongly that the other person will complete us, but not in the way I am describing. It is not about becoming more connected, intimate, assertive, or real. It is about being in the presence of someone else who has those attributes without having to take responsibility to learn them.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
“You complete me” is a great line from the movie, “Jerry Maguire,” but it doesn’t work in real relationships. You can’t outsource health. You must learn it all and take it inside your skin. Complete people then attract other complete people. That is why most of us need to put less energy into romance and more into personal growth. It pays off later in romance.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Understanding your missing pieces also pays off in other ways. Perhaps your concern isn’t about a marriage or dating relationship. It may be that the difficult relationship you need to address is with your parents, siblings, or a person from your childhood. Or it’s about a work relationship. Whatever your interest, you will find great benefit, in looking at the missing pieces, to understanding why things ended up like they did. The more information, the better for you.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Below, I have revealed the ways, in which, I recall the Insights to myself. Remember, each Insight (level of experience) leads to the next, as we build the culture to come.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">1- Noticing Synchronicity</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<a href="http://www.celestinevision.com/2014/10/spirituality/how-synchronicity-can-work-for-you/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #64864f; text-decoration: none;" title="How Synchronicity Can Work For You"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue;"><img alt="woman on rocks" class="alignright wp-image-3377" src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bigstock-woman-on-rocks-20318471-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />SYNCHRONICITY</span></a> is the entry point, the measure of whether we’re connected spiritually. These “meaningful coincidences” are tiny miracles steering us toward the good life. They are always seeking first, to awaken us, and then to allow us to be guided by a spiritual connection to the unfolding of our intended destiny. Staying in a state of alert expectation concerning the major questions of our lives, or the help we need, increases the frequency of Synchronistic answers. The secret is remembering, first thing in the morning, to watch for these magical synchronistic moments.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">2- The World has a “Spiritual Design”</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
This step in consciousness happens when we look back on the spiritual journey of humanity throughout history. We see that we are in a new phase of human progress. Humanity is now awakening from a materialistic worldview and moving into a new outlook that recognizes “spiritual design.” This desig<img alt="10655174_10152796696648431_7563409303436806815_o" class="alignright wp-image-3369" src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10655174_10152796696648431_7563409303436806815_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />n rewards an attitude of “helping others” and “making the world better.” When we adopt this new world perspective, our soul’s dream, of our mission, comes to us, and we move toward this destiny by a near miraculous “Intuition and Synchronistic Flow.” Thus, we are learning to make our way in the world by finding a spiritual connection and allowing ourselves to be guided. In this way, we’re discovering a more detailed understanding of how the world genuinely works. Together, with this insight, we can shape another historical era of inspirational life for generations to come.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">3- “Giving” The Karmic Design</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
We integrate the THIRD INSIGHT when we realize the Universe is not a dead, uncaring place. It is an energetically connected environment that is spiritually constructed to bring our greatest dreams into fruition. All we have to do is align our lives with the Universe’s ruling principal: GIVING.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
To create this new “world view,” we must understand and live in alignment with the Universe’s Karmic Design. We begin to fulfill the latest discoveries of Quantum Physics. As we open up to Synchronicity and Intuitive guidance, we realize that we, in fact, we share minds with one another and the Di<img alt="10708766_10152803501188431_8683914164958400659_o" class="alignright wp-image-3373 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10708766_10152803501188431_8683914164958400659_o-225x225.jpg" height="161" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="161" />vine. The path to this majestic life -lies NOT in ruling others or taking what we want. It lies in always looking out for the “best interests” of others, and at the same time, striving to perceive something they need in order to manifest their dreams. If we give them this information, it feels Synchronistic to them and elevates their lives.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
What’s more, when we practice improving in this way, it creates an immediate karmic effect in our lives. When we help others, we karmically begin to attract people into our lives who act the same way; they in turn, help us. These helpers are also being given intuitive suggestions of how they can help us. We experience their aid as exactly what we need at that very moment to extend our destined flow in life.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
When we adopt this outlook, and ask ourselves how we can be of service to another, our minds connect more deeply with the Divine mind and our intuitive capacity thus opens up. As this happens, we receive an intuition suggesting a specific way this person needs information or direct aid. The key is always to seek to be a Synchronicity for others, by giving them just the right information and help they call for at the time of our encounter with them.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
In this way, we begin to experience the transforming reality of becoming an “agent of the Divine.” (Think, “what would God do to help, if he couldn’t come and instead sent me”). The wish to help others opens up our Divine connection and strengthens our union with higher intelligence.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
We also can prove to ourselves by noticing what happens if we decide to pursue the opposite course in life, and become not a giver but a taker. The same karmic principal is in effect. If you take, you’ll draw people who take from you. If we manipulate others or steal energy for our personal gain, we find that we are being treated the same way ourselves. This is not for punishment; it is to allow us to feel what we are doing to others, and come back into alignment with the way the world is designed to work.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Thus, by getting into alignment with Karmic design and helping, we attract more desirable, life enhancing, connections with others; injecting Synchronicity into our lives. Therefore, GIVING to others brings forth the exact Divine coincidences needed for our dreams to come true. All we have to do is participate.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">4- Human Control Dramas</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<img alt="10547971_10152809828253431_2589739326666144156_o" class="alignright wp-image-3367 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10547971_10152809828253431_2589739326666144156_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />When we seek the ethic of giving and not taking from, or manipulating others, we step into consciousness. We begin to detect our ego’s past manipulation devices,–Control Dramas– we have used to build ourselves up at another’s expense. If we are mindful and catch ourselves every time we begin our “Control Drama,” eventually, our “Control Drama” falls away completely. The dramatics begin to fall away until we can stop ourselves before we ever lapse into such a climax. Now, through giving, we can move forward Synchronistically in freedom — ready to experience, even more, extraordinary moments of God’s connection.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">5- The Spiritual Connection</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
We breakthrough, at least momentarily, to experience a moment that seems to move us past our normal level of consciousness and we sense an ultimate connection. Sometimes, this event comes through a “spiritual practice” we’ve found that brings us to this <img alt="10511528_10152813389013431_2609475995930378859_o" class="alignright wp-image-3366" src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10511528_10152813389013431_2609475995930378859_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />moment. It could be a peak experience at a house of worship, or through prayer, meditation, music, communing with nature or a host of other points of entry.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Instantly, we receive a “fast forward” boost in our sense of well-being, peace, and even blissfulness. An experience described by prophets and saints as a greater sense of knowing and wisdom, and the deep emotion of love. Convincing us even more by “foretelling” that spiritual consciousness is real and provides a look ahead to the levels of awareness -the ultimate goal of spiritual evolution.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">6- Sensing A Life Mission </strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<img alt="10733721_10152817899503431_3940668005837459297_o" class="alignright wp-image-3375 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10733721_10152817899503431_3940668005837459297_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />Experiencing moments of profound “Spiritual Connection” opens us to the 6th Insight. We begin to receive a sense of clarity for where Synchronicity is taking us; what our “Life Direction” might be. This consciousness brings the strong Intuitions and guides us to our mission is in this life. This could fall within any area of human endeavor. The areas of life: from relationships to finding passion in a career (education, business, medicine, or government services.) It is usually a vague glimpse of our future destiny, one that invokes in us a heightened sense of inspiration and fulfillment. Though somewhat undetermined, our Intuitions can stand as a general goal that will help us understand, and follow, our Synchronistic path and help us move forward.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">7- Following Intuition</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
With our mission in mind, and our lives move forward, we begin to notice Synchronicities aimed at our ultimate calling. In this buildup of consciousness, we become aware of our Intuitive Guidance at a higher level. Through practicing MINDFULNESS, we can distinguish t<a class="fancybox" href="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Intuition1-e1418685038279.jpg" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #64864f; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="alignright wp-image-3157 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Intuition1-e1418685038279.jpg" height="106" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="158" /></a>houghts that are Intuitions from mere calculative thoughts. Calculative thoughts are words that run through our minds as we make decisions, as though we are talking to ourselves. Intuitions, however, are not part of our deliberation over a problem or goal.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Intuitions come from a superior part of our intelligence. They naturally appear in the back of our minds as clarifying ideas on how to proceed. In short, they are ideas that sometimes seem too random, spontaneous, and not logical, but upon greater interpretation they can be observed to apply perfectly to the situation at hand.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Once we begin to identify guiding intuitions in this way, we realize how we have been missing them in the past. One way to clarify the different types of thought, is to ask yourself, “Why did I think of this now?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Once we learn to identify intuitions, we realize how they bring forth Synchronicity (another elevation of awareness occurring). First, we receive an Intuitive picture (an urge) to end or begin something, to solve a problem, or to pursue some line of interest. Then, if we follow the guidance diligently with MINDFULNESS, an important Synchronistic breakthrough will take place — thus leading our lives forward to our greater calling. In this way, following your Intuitions is the key to increasing our Synchronistic Flow and maintaining our flow of destiny.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">8- Giving Energy Increases Synchronistic Experiences</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<img alt="10700757_10152825662078431_9098507040195921180_o" class="alignright wp-image-3372 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10700757_10152825662078431_9098507040195921180_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Once we clearly see the process of Synchronicity, what we observe most often is PEOPLE provide many of our Synchronistic experiences; yet, sometimes others do not feel comfortable talking to us. (Related to the commonly used, “first-impression theory.”)<br />
As a result, we end up leaving that encounter feeling as though we missed out on something they were supposed to tell us.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
We find another step-up in consciousness when we grasp the solution to this problem. We must adopt an addition ethic toward others, which enhances our attitude of giving, as we communicate with them. We must actively “uplift” others by visualizing an expression of a higher connected consciousness in their eyes and on their face…Continue to visualize them moving above their ego into an authentic, united state. As a result of this, not only is the person lifted into a greater level of experience, they are more likely to intuit some message they have for us.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">9- Fulfilling Human Destiny</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
We can now see how if everyone were practicing this virtue of “uplifting others” we would quickly accelerate the spiritual transformation of the world. It works this way: when someone uplifts us we feel it as increased energy because we receive a greater experience with the Divine Mind. When we return this energy, it moves our heightened energy back into them. Both people doing this creates a hot-house effect back and forth, where both people feel their Divine Connection getting stronger and stronger. Think of the “where two gather” phenomenon. When this goes viral, then everyone can quickly identify their life missions and can Synchronistically move to the right place of service.<a class="fancybox" href="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10655214_10152834104878431_2903357448429093879_o.jpg" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #64864f; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="10655214_10152834104878431_2903357448429093879_o" class="alignright wp-image-3370" src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10655214_10152834104878431_2903357448429093879_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" /></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
As we embrace a continuous experience of Synchronicity, millions of individuals will be unleashed to follow their destinies — and we will all find a place in the working world in need of freedom from corruption. In this way, all the institutions of life are moved toward a perfect level of functioning. Capitalism itself, business at every level, food production, the problems of poverty, chemical pollution, and Government regulation will all become enlightened.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
This enlightened Conscious evolution works because it happens through an effort all at once, replacing the top down efforts by corrupt governments. The result is an economic development that frees up more and more time for individuals to pursue higher energy states directly with others. Eventually, the basic needs of humanity can then all be automated and provided, as we focus on Synchronicities that will carry us to ever greater spiritual consciousness. Over time, such growth will transform us into a spiritual form and unite our current dimension with the after-life dimension, ending the cycle of birth and death. Humanity’s destiny is, gradually, to bring the intelligence that inspires the Heavenly realms into the Earthly Domain.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">10- Life in Heaven- Guiding Us On Earth</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<img alt="10633906_10152840010263431_8798731160158590233_o" class="alignright wp-image-3368 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10633906_10152840010263431_8798731160158590233_o-225x225.jpg" height="161" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="161" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
At this level of expanded consciousness, we become clearly aware of the life and death cycle of humanity. The Afterlife becomes, not as an abstract idea, but as a real place with real activities. As this rapid spiritualization continues, the veil between Earth and Heaven begins to part, and we rise to sense and feel those in the afterlife with a new reality. According to polls, the most frequently mentioned spiritual experience is those having contact with a recently departed loved one. Usually, they want to convey that they’re fine, but just as often they are trying to help us in some way. They are active in our lives on Earth. Our Insight is that departed friends and loved ones are close to us, sending us messages, reminders and uplifting us into our missions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Before we are born, we have a vision of this mission. When we get here, it goes unconscious as we are being educated. Then, as we move through the stages of life, it comes back into awareness. First, as attractions and amazing Synchronicities that are trying to wake us up. Followed by, a full-blown, inspiring goal. With this Insight, we are making the higher meaning of life more conscious and self-evident while leading more people to catch the vision, and thus accelerate both their lives and the progress of the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">11- The Power of Prayer</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<img alt="1398272_10152844498988431_5441590089408177880_o" class="alignright wp-image-3364 " src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1398272_10152844498988431_5441590089408177880_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" />In this level of consciousness, we become more purpose driven and receptive to how those in the afterlife are lifting us up. We begin to comprehend the real nature of prayer and guided purpose. We realize that prayer works within Karmic design. The more we are in alignment with the principle of giving — and our inner intuition to accurately help others — we will sense our heightened, creative power and see it working through our prayers. When we use this power for uplifting the spiritual consciousness of others, we draw more powerful people into our lives to uplift us. The key is discovering that affirmative prayer, practiced with the emotion of gratitude (it WILL happen), establishes the strongest faith validity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">12- The Sensation of God’s Presence Inside Us</strong></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Armed with Divine confidence, we begin to take the next step to self-knowledge. We experience times when a greater sense of Divine begins to dwell within us. This indwelling feels like a sense of God’s presence. We still have our personal identity but this status become subservient to a complete consciousness of love, patience, and openness to the action. For this presence to remain or get more powerful, we must be totally transcendent of our “Control Dramas,” or moments where we do not act on our intuition of other people’s best interest. In this sense, Divine presence is always there, unless our bad habits <a class="fancybox" href="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10257830_10152853450268431_633002892442117536_o.jpg" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #64864f; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="10257830_10152853450268431_633002892442117536_o" class="alignright wp-image-3365" src="http://www.celestinevision.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/10257830_10152853450268431_633002892442117536_o-225x225.jpg" height="160" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inherit; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 4px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="160" /></a>puts distance between us.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Simply put, the process is this: when we’re not in the flow, we feel disconnected and either anxious or frustrated. So we distract ourselves with various compulsive activities designed to make our misery go away. It could be anything from over-shopping, compulsively watching sports or celebrities, actual addictive behavior, and from sex to drugs. Everyone knows what his or her’s vices are, including you, and transcending it keeps you in touch with the magic of Synchronicity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Feeling God’s familiar presence, you will sense the flow of your destiny unfolding (at any age) and move into sincere awareness of the distractions and addictions your ego has always devised to sidetrack yourself.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
The presence then becomes non-duel, existing both within and outside of us at the same time. When we are acting in Karmic alignment, it brings us an even greater, intuitive knowledge that animates the truth we tell to others. This enlarges us beyond our wildest dreams, providing we always act in harmony and recognition of it. We must never walk into a room without consciously realizing how His presence moves into the room with us. He keeps us in a relative zone of near miraculous helping. Furthermore, by getting into alignment with this design, you set the stage for the complete integration of all the insights and sustained higher consciousness as the levels work together automatically.</div>

I have had the theme of <em>alignmen</em>t on my heart all year, and have felt that <span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240069" style="font-weight: 700;">there is a specific alignment happening this year for the Body of Christ as they seek Him</span>. Alignment in their relationships with Him, alignment in destiny and purpose/callings and alignment with fulfilment of promises and provision.</div>

This is indeed a time of promotion, and the Lord is looking for those who are devoted to Him and what He is doing in the earth. He is looking for those who are hungering for more of Him and living in expectant surrender. He is moving powerfully in this new day.</div>
<div class="yiv1267973299subtitle" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240070" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17pt; margin-top: 30px; padding: 5px 10px; text-align: center;">
Strategic Movement</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240071" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
I saw a picture of a chessboard and there was "strategic movement" taking place. I sensed the Lord was comforting His people and encouraging them to relax and rest in Him despite the shaking. There was much transition going on, much change and reshuffling happening, and God's people were feeling uneasy and unsettled.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240071" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

In the midst of this "strategic movement" that has been taking place, it has brought a reshuffling feeling into lives where many within the Body of Christ no longer feel anything is stable. The Lord is bringing His people deeper; deeper to that glorious place of dependence upon Him as their anchor. This anchoring being the very preparation for what the Lord is about to do.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240072" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
The Lord is bringing greater purity and devotion into the hearts of His people as they continue to look to Him for all things through the shaking and transition. In this shaking He is removing the things that would hinder the people of God as they move into the new day and level.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_240072" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

His love is so beautiful and great that He wants His people well prepared to move forward in victory. What the Lord is releasing now, the weight of His Glory being released, is requiring greater alignment in the hearts of His people in their focus, devotion and wholeness.</div>
<div class="yiv1267973299subtitle" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455475" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17pt; margin-top: 30px; padding: 5px 10px; text-align: center;">
"Checkmate!"</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455476" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

Some were already moving in the breakthrough, some still waiting, some slumped down and tired, and some feeling defeated with other enemy pieces standing on top of them so they could not move. In all positions where the people of God were, I saw lines and lines of enemy pieces forming a blockade before them, and it was preventing the people of God from moving forward into what the Lord had laid out for them. <em id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455478">(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>

Problems, circumstances and hindrances suddenly began arising for many IN the release of His promises to them and were attempting to rob hope and bring doubt into their hearts and minds and this was trying to rob the people of God of the manifestation of His promises He was releasing. I saw as these enemy pieces were forming their blockade they were about to "charge" and wreak havoc upon the people of God.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455477" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

I then heard the booming voice of the Lord and He said,<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455484" style="font-weight: 700;"><span class="yiv1267973299wordofthelord" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455483" style="color: #003399;">"REMEMBER, I AM,</span></span><span class="yiv1267973299wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;"></span>" and as soon as He spoke the whole board shook and the eyes of the people of God suddenly aligned back to Him. REMEMBER HIS PROMISES NO MATTER WHAT! REMEMBER HE IS ALL YOU NEED. HE IS THE ALL SUFFICIENT ONE AND HAS ALL UNDER CONTROL. HIS FAITHFULNESS WILL, WILL, WILL BE SEEN.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455482" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

As the eyes of God's people were set into Him like a FLINT, the Lord spoke again: <span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455486" style="font-weight: 700;"><span class="yiv1267973299wordofthelord" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455485" style="color: #003399;">"CHECKMATE!"</span></span> (Definition of checkmate: an act or instance of manoeuvring the opponent's king into a check from which it cannot escape, thus bringing the game to a victorious conclusion.)</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455480" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

Suddenly, the presence of God fell as a heavy glorious cloud of His Glory upon this chessboard. I watched as this cloud of His Glory was upon the board; and once the cloud lifted, I then saw the enemy opponents were all caged. They were brought to a position here they could not escape. The plans of the enemy to bring about any more havoc were thwarted, and in places where the enemy had brought destruction, there was total restoration.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455487" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
It was the removal of obstacles so the FULL victory of the Lord would be seen in the very areas His people were contending for. Suddenly they were free to move forward in power and all hindrances removed. The victory of the Lord was seen SUDDENLY!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455487" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

No matter what stands before you, threatening you to move into the promises of God, LOOK TO HIM COMPLETELY WITH UNDIVIDED FOCUS and you shall see the heavenly effects of the Lord speaking, <span style="font-weight: 700;"><span class="yiv1267973299wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;">"CHECKMATE,"</span></span><span class="yiv1267973299wordofthelord" style="color: #003399;"></span> and the alignment you are stepping into is higher than you imagined. You will see what God has done is much bigger and better than you imagined and the unveiling of the "next step" will be unfathomable in its goodness. You will not be able to contain the revelation of His goodness that He has to release to you in this season. You will lift Him higher!</div>

Many Who Lost Their Voice Are Going to Sing Again, and Sing Like Never Before</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455489" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">

He is coming to meet you! As you encounter Him and His glorious kindness and love overwhelm your heart and refreshes you, leading you back into alignment through repentance and His heavenly hugs, there is an emotional alignment taking place. <em id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455490">(Photo via Wikimedia)</em></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418231600806_455489" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
There is a wholeness and healing coming to you again. You will receive your voice back. You will sing again, and you will sing louder and give Him higher praise than you ever have. You will see that through this time of transition, He has bubbled to the surface the chains that would have caused great havoc in the future, in the "release" of your destiny. So He has brought you to a place where you'll be healed and be able to move forward into the release with integrity, wholeness, and healing so that there are no major areas which the enemy can come in and bring you down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; padding: 0px 10px;">
You are being strategically placed and will not only sing again, but move forward with tremendous strength, faithful stewardship, devotion to Him with a heart of thanksgiving, praise, and love to and for Him. Your heart is being greater aligned to the Father's amazing heavenly design of YOU. You are becoming more of the YOU He created you to be.</div>

Do not allow bitterness, doubt or discouragement to rob you in this season. Hold tight to Him and know He is 100% good all the time, and everything He does is 100% good. He is working all things for your good and making you strong in Him so you will not be swallowed up by promotion, breakthrough and abundance as it comes, and not tripped up by the enemy or squashed by doubt.</div>

The Key To Changing How You Look At Things</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
According to Matthew 4:17, when Jesus stepped into His earthly ministry, the recurring word that He shared with people was, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is here." When Jesus ministered to lost, sick, oppressed, fearful, doubtful, confused, deceived or hurting people, His first encouragement to them was to "repent." And it's the same today because <strong>repentance is a key to the Kingdom of Heaven invading our lives</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
For too long, too many have approached the word "repent" as if it means to hang our heads in shame over our sins. And if we repent of our sins, then the Kingdom of Heaven can invade and we might see breakthrough in the challenging areas of our lives. But that really isn't what "repent" means. The word in the Greek that Jesus uses in Matthew 4:17 is "metanoeo," and what this powerful and important word means is "to think differently."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/springs-of-life-key-by-lillis-boyer/"><img align="right" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/ART-LB074M.jpg" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" /></a>Jesus is giving us a key when He invites us to repent. It is not a key to guilt and shame that will make us feel bad about what we have done because the Kingdom of God hovers nearby in judgment. <strong>It is a key to changing how we look at things, to shifting our perspective from the report of the world and the view of our current circumstances, to the expectation of the goodness of God and reality of His Kingdom that is right there to grab hold of in all things at all times, no matter what.</strong> <em>(Photo by Lillis Boyer <a href="http://www.elijahshopper.com/springs-of-life-key-by-lillis-boyer/">"Springs of Life Key"</a> via elijahshopper.com)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Repentance does not bring the Kingdom to us. The Kingdom is right there all along. <strong>Repentance is the willingness to turn away from mindsets and behavior patterns of the past that have trapped us in sin and negative behavior, and shift our way of thinking and level of expectation to that of the reality that the Kingdom of God is at hand for us right now.</strong> We just need to see it. We just need to change our focus from our circumstances to His Kingdom. We just need to repent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Repentance absolutely involves a turning away from sin, but it is not a behavioral thing performed from guilt and shame in the hopes that if we do better God might bless us. No, true repentance causes us to embrace the conviction of the Lord and turn from sin because all of a sudden we see things from a different perspective. All of a sudden we see things from the perspective of Heaven on earth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
All of a sudden we are gratefully aware that death, destruction, depression, disease, or any other manifestation of darkness is not our portion – no matter what the report of our past or present might be. Who in their right mind would want to sin when they realize that the fullness of Heaven is simply a choice of agreement and change of perspective away? <strong>Repentance is Jesus' key for us that helps us get into the right(eous) mind!</strong></div>
<div class="subtitle" style="background-color: white; color: #016d88; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin: 30px 20px 10px; text-decoration: underline;">
His Word, His Promises, His Perspective, His Eternal Truth – Will Become Louder and Louder For You</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Consider the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. Her region is in the midst of a massive, long-term drought. The report of the world and of her circumstances is nothing but poverty, lack despair, and death. When we first meet her in verses 10-12, she is out gathering sticks for a fire so that she can go home, cook her last meal, and then die. But the prophet Elijah shows up with the word of the Lord offering a different perspective. He tells her not to be afraid (see 1 Kings 17:13), not to give into the negative report of the world, but instead embrace a Kingdom opportunity to step into supernatural abundance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
She chooses to believe. She chooses to change how she looks at things from the lack of her temporal circumstances and shift into the perspective of Heaven's eternal truth that with God there is always enough. She chooses to repent, to change how she thinks about things, and when she does she opens a portal of plenty in her life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
Right now secular media is shouting the report that the world is in crisis. Economies are collapsing. Jobs are disappearing. Disease is running rampant. Wars are raging. Despite how loud the voice of the world might be, God has a promise for you. It is the same one He gave Abram in<span class="script_ref" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Genesis 15:1</span> – <span class="script_text" style="color: #016d88; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;"><strong>"Fear not...I AM...Thy exceeding great reward."</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.images.elijahlist.com/email_images/freephoto_volume_pixabay.png" hspace="10" style="margin-right: 10px;" vspace="10" />That word "exceeding" in the Hebrew is "m'od," and one of its meanings is "louder and louder." I am believing that as you read this devotional and pray through the prayer directives, God's voice – His word, His promises, His perspective, His eternal truth – will become louder and louder for you until it drowns out every negative report that would trap you in fear or lack of any kind. Instead of heeding the report of the world, you will repent – change how you look at things – and enter into the expectation of the goodness of God in every situation you face. <em>(Photo via Pixabay)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, we simply need to reach out and take hold of it by declaring its eternal truth louder and louder than our temporary circumstances.</strong> That's called decreeing His word. And it always produces fruit (see Isaiah 55:11).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">

Prayer Directives</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
<strong>So let's pray this month that:</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[1] The certainty of God's Word and the reality of His Kingdom will become "louder and louder," drowning out the report of the world and all negativity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[2] A spirit of repentance will come upon us, gracing us to shift our way of thinking and looking at things so that we have Heaven's perspective in all things at all times.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[3] Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom, and as Holy Spirit fills and overflows each of us, we will be free of all fear and full of faith in every battle God blesses us with.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[4] There is always enough with God, and portals of plenty will open in every Believer's life so that we have supernatural abundance in every area – provision, health, favor, love, peace, joy, wisdom, faith, compassion, kindness, revelation, and intimacy with God.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[5] We will arise and shine as the Body of Christ, shining His love, light, and life brighter and brighter even if the world gets darker and darker.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 14pt; margin: 10px 20px;">
[6] As we walk in a different spirit and expectation than that of the world, the lost will take note and seek us out for the source of our peace and plenty, and they will come to know Jesus through what they see of Him in our lives.</div>
