Tom Hamon: "Don't Crack! Attack and Take It All Back!" - The Elijah List

Tom Hamon: "Don't Crack! Attack and Take It All Back!"


The Elijah List Jan 29, 2019

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
Are you, like many others, really "going through it?" Is the warfare feeling a bit "off the charts" for you?
This is a short season we are in, where the enemy is hitting "very hard" toward those who are followers of Jesus Christ.
But God, in HIS INFINITE WISDOM, is going to allow us just enough discomfort to bring us back on track. Here is what Tom Hamon says:
God cares about your comfort, but not at the expense of your destiny. He will offend your flesh, put you in a wilderness experience, crucify your self-life and put you in a trial, all to perfect you and make you more like Him.
We are in a day, a season, a specific time period, when God is cleaning up many little areas of our life...He's cleaning up LITTLE things so that we may be effective in gigantic assignments from the Lord.
It may look bad today, but give it a few days, STAY IN FAITH, submit to God, and the devil WILL FLEE FROM YOU! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

In this season of the third Great Awakening in the Church, the enemy's resistance is real! The enemy wants to break the back of us, the Church, and make us collapse under the pressure being applied in this generation. Political correctness, new cultural norms and social pressure are trying to reshape the very fabric of the Church to be conformed to this world instead of being the transformational force we are called to be by the renewing of our minds by God's Word (Romans 12:2).
Without the Word of God as our basis of truth, the Church is doomed to fail. The enemy wants us to crack under the pressure—crack doctrinally, morally and spiritually! The Scripture says that the enemy is like a "roaring lion" seeking out the weak to see whom he can devour. I believe that is true in this generation more than ever before. The enemy has loosed a spirit of seduction, deception and intimidation against the Church that, if we are not strong, will cause our very foundations to crumble.
Hebrews 12 says that everything that can be shaken will be, and all I have to say is that there is a whole lot of shaking going on right now! It goes on to say that only the things of the Kingdom will remain and stand. I believe it is the job of the apostolic and prophetic to lay true foundations in the Church (Ephesians 2:20) so that the Church in this generation will withstand the heat and pressure that is coming against it today. Without that, I'm afraid the Church is destined to lapse into apostasy rather than awakening and revival.
"God cares about your comfort, but not at the expense of your destiny."
In 1 Samuel 30, we see the story of David at Ziklag. We know that David had been on a long journey to fulfill his prophesied destiny of kingship. And if David had given up then, all of his sacrifices up to that point would have been for nothing. At Ziklag, the Amalekites attacked and robbed David and David's men, taking everything that was precious in their lives.
The Amalekite spirit is indicative of a viscous, violent spirit of robbery. The enemy's attack was not a direct one, to kill David, but rather an indirect one, to hurt and take what he most cared about. The plan was to make him crack and give up on his destiny. The pressure grew greater. Even David's loyal men, out of their grief, began to turn on David and blame him. They even contemplated killing him! These were desperate times and David had a decision to make: would he give in to what was happening in hopelessness, despair or would he attack back? David did the wise thing and inquired of the Lord. The answer was clear and emphatic: pursue, overtake, attack, take back and recover all! I believe this is the same answer that the Lord is decreeing to the Church today: "Attack your lack and don't look back!"
Don't Lose Your Confidence
What is the enemy trying to steal from you today? Here are a few things that I prophetically see. He desperately wants to steal your confidence. David's confidence in himself, his men and God, was shaken by what had taken place. He had been through so much in his life and became disheartened. The enemy wants to shake your confidence. 
You must be bold and believe for the great things God has promised you.
Don't Lose Your Peace, the Presence of God and God's Purpose!
The enemy attacked David's family and those who were in covenant with him in order to confuse David and hit him where it hurt. When something like that happens to us, it can cause us to react emotionally, but David was able to calm himself and seek God and receive the word he needed to hear in order to continue to advance toward his destiny. The enemy wants to rattle your cage and get you off your game but don't let him. Scripture declares, "The God of peace will soon crush satan underneath your feet..." (Romans 16:20). 
We pursue the Lord first so that we can pursue our enemy with confidence and take back all that he has stolen! God's peace will allow you to hear His voice and guide you to victory.
Don't Lose Your Hope!
Hopelessness is a direct attack against the nature of God. When resources are stolen and we feel powerless to see change, we can sink down into a state of hopelessness. The enemy wants to rob our hope of seeing things change or regaining our possessions. He wants to rob our hope for our family, or our purpose and power. But we must not give into the hopelessness the enemy is promoting to us and understand that Christ in us is the very hope of glory and the banner of victory to bring the change God wants. We must not shrink back in despair, but rise up in hope and faith to attack and take it all back.
Don't Turn Back!
Scripture instructs us to advance forward in our calling and to be more like Jesus. It exhorts us not to turn back to our old life or the rudimentary ways of this world. The enemy's strategy is multifaceted, but I believe one of his most insidious attacks involves the Church turning back at the very time we are called to advance. I'm reminded of the children of Israel's call out of captivity and on to the Promise Land; at the crucial moment of their journey they retreated instead of moving forward into the promise, and God was not pleased. All they had worked for was forfeited at the Jordon River. But why? We know they spied out the land and perceived themselves to be like grasshoppers in the sight of the giants of the land and chose not to go in. They even chose a leader to take them back to Egypt. Can you imagine? (Photo via Unsplash)
The New Testament describes it this way, "For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: 'Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.' For who, having heard, rebelled?" (Hebrews 3:14-16). Then it goes on to describe how they came out of Egypt. All but two of them knew of God's disappointment and anger because of their unbelief. It was a breach of promise. How could that happen? How could they not believe the God who had delivered, blessed them and destroyed their enemies? How could they have lived in so much disbelief that it brought them to the point of rebelling against His Word and promise and lost out on their prophesied destiny? Where did all this start? How and why did they harden their hearts in unbelief?
The Golden Calves of the Modern Church in America
In the passage in Acts 7:39, we get a clue. Stephen is preaching to God's people and reminds them of what happened on Mount Sinai. Moses was on the mountain, standing in the glory of God and receiving His commandments to His people. At the same time, the people of Israel were lamenting the loss of all the pleasures of Egypt. They felt abandoned by God and Moses and decided to turn back to the gods they had served back in Egypt. Out of a need for comfort and security they made an idol, brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made. God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars and the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan. I believe these gods refer to the worship of creation and bowing down to evolution, abortion, perversion, witchcraft and antichrist. I also believe that there are four very powerful "golden calves" or "sacred cows" in the Church today that want to keep us out of God's promised destiny in this season.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
Convenience, Comfortability and Entertainment
In the last days, people will have itching ears to hear what they want and not endure sound doctrine. Instead, they will seek out teachers to tell them what they want to hear. God cares about your comfort, but not at the expense of your destiny. He will offend your flesh, put you in a wilderness experience, crucify your self-life and put you in a trial, all to perfect you and make you more like Him. Unfortunately, too many people in the Church have decided that they would rather be comfortable back in Egypt than to become an army called to possess the Promised Land.
Convenience has replaced commitment and comfortability has replaced being conformed to the image of Christ. Entertainment has replaced worship and sacrifice. Tolerance—being non-offensive and all-encompassing—has replaced preaching the truth with conviction and repentance. Let's not bow down to the idol of convenience or go back to Egypt and captivity only to face God's judgment.
Compromise to the Current Culture
Some have bowed down, becoming more like the world, in the name of being relevant. Grace is an amazing thing, but Jude 1:4 warns us not to allow men to "...turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ." As a Christian, can you deny that Jesus is the only true God and way to Heaven? How could that happen—that people would use grace as an excuse to sin or live like the world? Paul has said that God forbid that would happen.
The law of grace is not a lower standard but a higher one in God. It not only deals with your actions but your heart motivation as well. For example, the New Testament tells us to not just avoid committing adultery, but don't even lust with your eyes! Jude and 2 Peter warns Believers saying to remember what happened to the angels who were in Heaven and then fell and are being held in chains of darkness in Hell. Remember the children of Israel who God destroyed? Remember Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of their immorality, sexual sin and perversion? Remember Noah's generation and the judgment that happened to them?
We are warned of false teaching and false teachers, "For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning" (2 Peter 2:20). So many are preaching liberty in their foul language, their promiscuity, their partying, their perversion and their lifestyles, but God's warnings are clear: Don't compromise with the world. Don't become a friend of the world and compromise your faith, your godly standards and your relationship with God. Let's not bow down to the golden calf of compromise!
Cowardice
"The answer was clear and emphatic: pursue, overtake, attack, take back and recover all!"
What was the problem with the children of Israel? They lost their courage and retreated, deciding to play it safe. God was saying, "Just believe Me. Be strong and of good courage. Fight, and I'll fight with you and for you." A passive, fearful, unbelieving mentality had gripped the people of God. They decided and declared that they were not able to possess the land that God had promised. In contrast, God was looking for champions and those who would fight for His cause and His Kingdom. He was looking for those who would face the giants and shout at the walled cities until they fell. He was looking for a fearless generation that would not be afraid, intimidated, disheartened or dismayed but would courageously take the battle to the enemy to accomplish God's vision on the earth. The enemy, through a spirit of intimidation, wants to make a coward of the Church. It's not time to back down. It is time to turn around, attack back and possess the land of promise!
Complacency and the Cares of This Life
God once said to me, "A man with passion will overcome any obstacle to achieve his goals, but a man without passion will allow any obstacle to overcome him and stop him in the journey toward his destiny." Matthew 24:12, tells us, "...the love of many shall wax cold." They will lose their first love. God said to me, "Apathy leads to atrophy and will ultimately lead to apostasy." That's a big part of the enemy's strategy against the Church today.
If the enemy can't stop us, then he'll just distract us with all the concerns of life. He'll get us so caught up in the mundane day-to-day that we stop dreaming and discovering. He'll try to cause the hard things to harden our hearts and dominate our passion. He'll try and turn our eyes to escapism and entertainment or deaden our dreams with the drudgery of everyday pressure to just survive. Dead religion and ritual will want to supplant a passionate pursuing of God's plan for our lives. This can become a golden calf that diverts or depresses our energy for Heaven's purposes.
Get on Track and Take It All Back!
Lastly, God is saying, "Do whatever it takes to get yourself back on track with your destiny and My purpose for the Church." Don't bow down to any idols that will take you back to the captivity of Egypt and keep you out of your prophetic promise! (Photo via Unsplash)
If you're hurt— seek help. Seek God and let Him heal your heart. It's time to get over it and get on with it.
If you're hard—humble yourself. Let grace flow and soften your heart. Seek God.
If you're distracted—focus, commit and get your life back on track with God.
If you're compromising—read the Word with an open mind. Confess your sin and repent. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, convict you and help you change.
If you're facing something impossible—rise up in faith. Lift up the sword of the Spirit. Fight, shout your doubts out and cast the enemy out.
If you feel hopeless—allow God to re-ignite His vision in your life. Remember your hope is in God.
If you feel powerless—choose to use your weapons and your authority in Christ. Don't retreat to get out of the heat! Remember God's got your back! Don't crack. Take it all back! It's a time to rise up with the spirit of David at your Ziklag and pursue, overtake, attack and take it all back! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Joni Ames: "To Infinity and Beyond!" - The Elijah List

Joni Ames: "To Infinity and Beyond!"


The Elijah List Dec 1, 2017

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
This latest article by Joni Ames is full of prophetic nuggets for now and for the new year. I'm really enjoying reading some of the words for the new year coming in...they are highly encouraging to the Body of Christ and what God has in store for us.
In Joni Ames word she shared this empowering message:
As we are now in 5778 on the Jewish calendar and going into 2018 on the Gregorian calendar, I heard, "The 8s will be great." Eight is the number of new beginnings. In a vision, I saw the 8 flop on its side, becoming a pair of glasses that the Lord handed to me to put on. As I did, I had a amazingly exceptional sight of both natural and spiritual activity. I heard, "Heightened 20/20 vision and power to see, declare, and release now that which will flow forth into 2020 and beyond." 
Folks...this is an excellent read. Please make sure to forward on to all you know and please tell them to subscribe to the Elijah List for themselves right here.

We are in a time of awakening, even on the Jewish Calendar. We're in the 5770s, which are called Ayin. It means eyes opened (awake), and seeing more clearly than before. In order to be able to handle it all, we must understand some things so we can properly posture ourselves. As ministers of the Gospel, not only do we have to make it through, but we must be equipped and able to help the rest of the Body to do so without giving up.
We are experiencing what Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24. Jesus warned us within those verses that because of lawlessness the hearts of many would grow cold (see Matthew 24:12). Webster's dictionary describes cold-hearted as marked by lack of sympathy or sensitivity, and some synonyms are: callous and heartless, as opposed to: being charitable, compassionate, merciful and warmhearted.
It's easy for those who deal with the public every day to become cold. We need to face the day and people with the love of God, looking for ways to spread His encouragement and hope. On Veterans Day, I went to the post office to get my mail, and of course the business side where they sell stamps was closed. A lady was coming in with two envelopes in hand and was very disappointed that it wasn't open. As I went to my car the Lord said, "You have stamps in your wallet. Make her day. Go give her what she needs." 
As I did, she lit up and even said, "You've made my day!" That may seem small, but our random acts of kindness become ripples on the pond. God is love. The Word says that they'll know we are Christians by our love (see John 13:35). Also it's His kindness that leads to repentance (see Romans 2:4). Simply holding a door for someone, smiling and speaking kind words, or doing some random act of kindness, can help rebuke and destroy that opposite spirit trying to raise its ugly self in someone's life.
Defining the Battle
"Those who have been passed over in times past shall now see a table set before them in the presence of their enemies."
What we are witnessing in the world is the spirit of antichrist beginning to appear more blatantly than ever before. It is not only anti-Christian, it is "anti-all" that Christ or the term Christian stands for. So there is great warning to us here that we, as Christians, not get caught up in its web.
"The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, and able to remove the enemy's strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). It's war. It's what they call a Cold War. The major weapons being used aren't bullets and bombs (although those are strategically being used as well). But some of the main weapons being used are discouragement, division, hopelessness, fear, distrust and discord.
Going back to Webster's dictionary, a Cold War is defined as: a conflict over ideological differences carried on by methods short of sustained overt military action, and usually without breaking off diplomatic relations; a condition of rivalry, mistrust, and often open hostility short of violence especially between power groups.
Let's war by teaching the truth in love to our congregations. Knowledge is power. We can't effectively battle against an unknown enemy. That's boxing with the air. Let's attain wisdom and understanding about the enemy in order to become a united front against it. God does not want us to be ignorant of the enemy's devices (see 2 Corinthians 2:11). The Church needs to quit being so silent in speaking about government issues from the pulpit. It is from the churches in America that men gathered together to put together our Declaration of Independence. 
New Reformation 
This year, we celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Reformation of the Church through Martin Luther's 95 thesis. Prior to that, the Church simply believed what they were told by the church leaders and did not read the Word of God for themselves. That is what has happened with people regarding government. (Photo via Flickr)
But in this time of awakening, we need to call for a true Reformation and Declaration of Independence to occur within our minds, hearts, and mouths regarding government. Just as back then, it is time to quit simply believing what we are told and to get the truth for ourselves.
Let's declare ourselves independent of the oppressive antichrist spirit of government and political correctness that has arisen throughout our nation and the world. Let's not simply stand by and let the Church and our nation be taken captive. We must do what we were born for and speak God's truth that sets captives free. 
Let's unashamedly and without fear declare God's Declaration of Independence – the Word of God – over our families and this nation.Let's teach our congregations about what is really going on. Stand for the truth and inform our people! If you lose an expensive building because you stand for righteousness, so what. We are in this to save souls, not buildings.
The Church in America is to take a stand against the tyranny of the worldwide antichrist system!
Praying Women
Praying women: you in particular have been called from the beginning of time to crush the enemy (see Genesis 3:15). "Rise! Shine! For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1-2).

Recent Dream of Turtles
I had a dream recently about turtles. They were slow, but all of a sudden, they all gathered together and began emerging out of their shells. They came forth in the shape of people, and then suddenly became dressed as warrior ninja turtles, like in the cartoon.
I felt that the Lord interpreted this as: there have been many who have been slow to come to the forefront, who are now going to break out of their shells and become very powerful in the Kingdom. They will become God's ninja warriors. They may be late bloomers, but they are right on time for God's Kingdom purposes to come forth through them.
The 8s Will Be Great and to Infinity and Beyond!
As we are now in 5778 on the Jewish calendar and going into 2018 on the Gregorian calendar, I heard, "The 8s will be great." Eight is the number of new beginnings. In a vision, I saw the 8 flop on its side, becoming a pair of glasses that the Lord handed to me to put on. As I did, I had a amazingly exceptional sight of both natural and spiritual activity. I heard, "Heightened 20/20 vision and power to see, declare, and release now that which will flow forth into 2020 and beyond." 
The 8 then became the infinity symbol and I heard, "To infinity and beyond!" I had a knowing that things of eternal significance are occurring right before our eyes in the White House and throughout America.
Increased Healing Power
"Let's war by teaching truth in love to our congregations. "
Several years ago, I had a dream about huge "circus tents" being used for healing revivals that would rival what occurred in the days of the great healing evangelists.
Earlier this year the Ringling Brothers Circus shut down. As soon as that came on the news, I knew the Lord was speaking what I saw with "those tents" was about to occur. The time has come. I don't know what they want to do with those tents, but I do know what God wants to do. It will truly be the greatest show on earth, as we see people's legs grow out where there weren't any, wheelchairs disposed of, crutches hung on walls, as well as blind eyes opened and deaf ears unstopped.
Hamans Will Be Hung 
The more the enemy tries to stomp on President Trump, the stronger he gets. The Lord told me back in the spring that we would see the Hamans get hung on their own gallows! The same thing will happen with other leaders whom God has designated to come forth for such a time to lead our nation. The more that comes against these leaders God has designated, the stronger they will get too.
Hollywood
The revival that has begun in Hollywood is only going to get stronger. Because there are those who are praying and seeking God's face there, things are being exposed and captives are being released. God is taking captivity captive there!
The Best IS Yet to Come
In this year of Chet on the Jewish calendar, the swords have formed a doorway that is covered with the Blood of the Lamb. The Chet is yoking them together for safe passage for God's people to move forward in victory, which is protected by Him and His heavenly angelic team. 
Those who have been passed over in times past shall now see a table set before them in the presence of their enemies. 
Although gross darkness will continue to try to cover the earth, God's light and glory will continue to shine upon His people. There will be a holy fear that comes upon those who try to get in their way. You will even hear the media say something like, "It is uncanny how the more that comes against this president and these people, the stronger they seem to get." (Photo via Pixabay)
Unity
We will continue to see greater unity come forth among the people of our nation as tragedies unfold. We are a family and when families fight, they put down their swords and help one another.
Weather
Strange weather patterns and systems will continue to be seen. The greatest threat being earthquakes. The reason being is that everything that can be shaken is being shaken. Therefore, there will be visible manifestations of that.
The Trumpet Call
God has set His plumbline in our nation once again. The Church must arise and speak with clarity the uncompromised Word of God now. There needs to be a clarion call to return to the basics of the Word of God and holiness.
The Church needs to speak up and call an end to the bitterness, strife, hatred and division that the enemy has stirred up in our country. We must not relax because a battle has been won in the presidency, as we are still very much at war. We must keep and even increase our momentum into the next election.
Be aware that much new information and distractions will occur almost daily. Let's keep our focus on the Lord and the fact that He is love, and thus love one another as He has loved us. Love is our ultimate weapon. Love wins.

Why God Is Raising Up a Prophetic Army - TROY ANDERSON CHARISMA NEWS

Hubie Synn, author of 'The Tales of a Wandering Prophet'
Hubie Synn, author of 'The Tales of a Wandering Prophet' (Facebook)

Why God Is Raising Up a Prophetic Army

While gathered at a great banquet with his lords, wives and concubines, King Belshazzar saw a mysterious hand write an encrypted message on the wall of the royal palace: "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin." Frightened by the apparition, the king of Babylon summoned Daniel—a prophet regarded for his ability to interpret dreams, explain enigmas and solve problems  (Dan. 5:12). The prophet deciphered the inscription, explaining God had weighed Belshazzar in the balance and found him wanting, and that his kingdom would be divided by the Medes and Persians.
Today, the handwriting is on the wall again. But just as Daniel helped solve problems in ancient times, God is raising up prophetic leaders to offer hope and help release the next great move of the Spirit.
The cover story in this month's issue of Charisma—"A Prophetic Army Rising Up"—features interviews with a number of respected prophetic ministers who believe the world is on the verge of a powerful new move of God.
This may seem counterintuitive given the troubled state of the world. Yet many are prophesying awakening. And while some believe a "great shaking" is coming, they also believe God is patient and is giving the world time to return to Him. "I believe we're on the cusp of another phase of the release of the Holy Spirit that began with the Pentecostal/charismatic movements," says John Eckhardt, overseer of Crusader Ministries. "Some things don't happen unless prophets are involved. There has been a great amount of prayer worldwide for revival and awakening, and I believe God is answering those prayers by raising the level of the prophetic."
Today, prophetic believers are rising up as part of a great intercessory army to prepare the way of the Lord. God is calling a global community of prophetic people to arise and decree revival. Some who have felt discouraged are receiving a touch from heaven. Others are recognizing dormant spiritual gifts such as the simple gift of prophecy used for edification, exhortation and comfort (1 Cor. 14:3).
As this prophetic movement unfolds, it's important for mature prophets who have gone through the "making process" to train those with budding prophetic gifts. "The first thing is they need to find a mentor, somebody who is more seasoned," says Hubie Synn, a speaker and author of The Tales of a Wandering Prophet. This training is also available at a variety of prophetic schools, including the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, where 2,100 students learn about healing, deliverance, the prophetic and supernatural gifts. "We are teaching people to leave the walls of the church and take the kingdom wherever they go," says Kris Vallotton, senior associate leader at Bethel Church and co-founder of the school.
These and similar ministries teach people about prophetic gifts, how to receive prophecies and how to know if they are true or false.
"We still have prophets today who are issuing corrections, warnings, teachings and instructions just as they did in the Bible," says DeGraw Ministries Founder Kathy DeGraw.
These prophets are encouraging church and ministry leaders to seek to understand those in their congregations and ministries with interest in this spiritual gift. Whenever God releases a new movement, teachers are needed to help the body of Christ understand what is happening.
"If you still believe in miracles and healings, then how can you remove prophets? God has always had prophets," Eckhardt says. "If we need them at any time, we definitely need them today with all the challenges the church is confronted with."
Just as Daniel was summoned to the royal palace in Babylon to interpret dreams and solve problems, Vallotton says more than 100 graduates of the Bethel school have gone to Washington, D.C., to work in government and "see the kingdom move into places of influence."
The graduates of the school are also working in several cities. Like the sons of Issachar who understood the times (1 Chr. 12:32), they're helping officials create "prophetic strategic plans" to solve problems before they occur.
This is why God is raising up a new wave of prophets—not just to sound a trumpet of warning in a world largely oblivious to the writing on the wall—but also to offer hope and godly solutions to the Gordian knots facing humanity.

Remnant of Resters Rising! by Lana Vawser IDENTITY NETWORK

Remnant of Resters Rising! by Lana Vawser

IDENTITY NETWORK

"Now God has offered to us the same promise of entering into His realm of resting in confident faith. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it." (Hebrews 4:1)

There is a remnant of resters rising up. Those who have been pressing deep into the secret place and the Lord has been bringing them to a greater place of rest. The Lord has been working deeply in their hearts leading them into a deeper place of confident expectation in Him. A deeper place of confident faith in who He is and His Word. A deeper place of settledness of His goodness, His power and authority. 

In this place of deep rest, the Lord has been awakening in them a dissatisfaction and insatiable hunger for Him and seeing His Kingdom established. The Lord has broken chains off this remnant in the deep rest and imparted gifts of faith within them to believe for greater things, no matter what their eyes see. 

This remnant of resters have been birthing deeply in the secret place. The Lord has been birthing in them a level of confident faith in Him, His nature and Word that they have never experienced. This new level of confidence in Him, is breaking off chains and limitations and they are now arising with great impartations to release across the body of Christ.

Called and Rising

This remnant of resters are now being called out by the Lord and are arising with a greater anointing for breakthrough as they have entered into this deeper level of rest and faith.

As this remnant is arising now and they are arising with angels of alignment alongside them. They are arising and being positioned/aligned into significant places across the body of Christ and places of EXTREME favor to release a greater impartation and teaching of deeper rest to the people of God.

They are partnering with the Lord in bringing a deeper and wider shift in the body of Christ to a place of deeper rest in Him. A place where wavering and 'to-ing' and 'fro-ing' is settled, it's stopped. Where roots and levels of doubt have continually tormented the people of God, it's being broken and settled. The fire of conviction and resolution to His goodness and the TRUTH of His Word is being birthed. A deeper place of settledness in Him and who He is and what His Word says in the victories and in the mysteries.

These remnant of resters are now finding themselves before HUGE leaps of faith. The Lord has imparted into their hearts revelation and rest, He has brought deep conviction of His nature, and now I see HUGE steps of faith before them. As they take these bold steps of faith forward, EVERYTHING is about to change. 

He is about to rearrange it all and in their 'stepping out' the provision, manifestation of His faithfulness, increase of their faith and miraculous breakthrough will be seen releasing the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy right across the body of Christ, imparting FAITH to those struggling, to stand up and move deeper into the realm of rest and conviction of His nature and Word.

Moving to the Frontline of Greatness

This remnant of resters are not only moving out of the caves, out of hiding, into a greater position on the frontline to lead the body of Christ into some of the greatest encounters and revelation of the truth of who He is and the power of His Word, but into pinnacles of breakthrough. These resters are not only going to see breakthrough upon breakthrough upon their lives but begin to move forward and 'arrest' the enemy. 

Suddenly schemes of the enemy will be thwarted, assignments will be shut down, the impossibilities he stirs up will be flattened as these ones move forward in their burning conviction and authority of KNOWING in SUCH A DEEP PLACE of rest inside them, who HE IS, that miraculous breakthrough occurs.

The Lord is releasing a TIDAL WAVE OF FAITH across the body of Christ through this remnant of resters arising. Reigniting faith where there has been hurt, pain, brokenness, despair, disappointment and confusion. These resters are moving forward ministering right across the body of Christ seeing the Holy Spirit IGNITE FAITH within the people of God who have lost it and add fuel to the fire of faith to those who are holding on. 

I also saw the Lord specifically releasing 'gifts of faith' through this remnant of resters across the body of Christ that when activated and walked in broke some of the hardest ground we have seen. Ground broken open and His Glory displayed.

One of the greatest shifts of increase of faith is happening right now in the body of Christ as we stay positioned and this increase of faith is happening as we come to a place of DEEP REST. We don't change the subject despite what our eyes see, we come into a deeper realm of settledness of who He is and the POWER of His Word.

The Lord is bringing His people into this deeper realm of rest and confident faith in Him and His Word, for it is IN THIS GROUND OF DEEPER REST that He is preparing His people for the greatest move of His Spirit, revival and awakening that they have seen.

The remnant of resters are arising and with them are coming angels of alignment to shift the body of Christ into a deeper level of intimacy and seeing Him and higher level of faith to believe for the impossible and take the Kingdom by force. It's time for the remnant of resters to arise!

"Get Ready For the New!" Amanda Wells, Brisbane, Australia - The Elijah List



"Get ready for the NEW! You have to come out to come in!" These were the words I heard so clearly as I was ministering on a recent weekend. Come out of the season you are in, the constraints and contentment of this season, because we are invited to come into His glory realm and get ready for the new move that awaits us!
God is longing for His people to start to see the world from His perspective! There is an invitation for us to discover our place at the Throne of Grace and take hold of the realm of eternity, where there are no limitations of the past or present and where we release Heaven onto earth!
The Year 5776
We have entered the Hebrew year 5776; the Hebrew letter vav is the number six. The mystery ofvav is that it is a hook that joins Heaven to earth; it is the divine hook that binds Heaven and earth together. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Man was created on the sixth day, because we were created to be the connecting hook of Heaven to earth. Man was to work for six days, our work; the place of our assignment is about to become the hook that connects Heaven to earth. 

Get ready; Heaven and angels are in the field of your God-given assignment. 

The hook, the vav, was lost through Adam and his sin; it is now restored through Jesus Christ, and this year is the year to reach into Heaven and release the supernatural that the world is crying out for!
Seize the Process to Your Suddenly
It's time to seize and see the potential of the small "moments" that happen in our lives instead of trying to wait for a BIG moment to change everything. The small moments are an introduction to a process that eventually changes everything.
Every suddenly in Scripture was preceded by "process." After days of continual prayer in a small upper room, they were all in a place of process before thesuddenly occurred.
Jesus was "led" (a small moment He seized upon) into the wilderness, which directed Him into the process of the wilderness. Afterward, He suddenly walked into the temple and released the glory of God for the first time in 400 years through His voice.
Awakening
An awakening is stirring in the Body of Christ! Awake, your "suddenly" is about to happen. The process you have been through has been for a purpose.
Isaiah 48:3 I declared the former things long ago and they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
When the suddenly came in the Book of Acts, it came through sound, the voice! When the great company of heavenly host suddenly started singing to declare the birth of Jesus, it came because an angel had heralded the birth by speaking.
Time to Declare
It's time to start declaring your release from the season you are currently in and your entrance into your new season. It's time to arise and declare that the glory of the Lord is upon you.
Every voice is unique; we are created with a sound that is designed to release the realm of glory, power, and light of God. Just as God released light through His voice, we are created in His image with the same unique ability to release sound. (Photo via Pixabay)
Adam and Eve recognized the realm of glory when they heard the sound of God in the Garden. In this awakening we need to be able to discern His presence and recognize His heartbeat in the process! Then release the new sound and see the glory realm suddenly loosed in our midst.
I hear God awakening and calling His Body to "taste the powers of the age to come" and bring forth a "witness" of His glory to all nations. There is coming such a shift that as the Church awakens with a new sound we are going to see an explosion of creative miracles, healings, finances released, and the raising of the dead.
Your spirit man is at home in the glory realm, the eternal realm. When we enter this realm, we enter into the realm of revelation where we begin to think from the supernatural dimension! It is the realm that is around the Throne of Grace. This realm holds creativity and creative miracles.
Awake, awake, look up, suddenly there is an open Heaven above you; angels are preparing to visit you. In every nation of the earth, in every hidden corner of the globe, the King of Glory is coming in, and when He does the realm of glory will be fully released, Heaven will invade earth. (Photo via Pixabay)
The convergence of Heaven and Earth, it's a season of acceleration. We are entering into a time of experiencing the "power of the age, the eternal glory realm to come"!
Come out to come into the new, and see His glory loosed on the Earth!
