The Lord revealed to me in the spring of 2018 that satanic witchcraft covens across the world would be increasing in their attempts to destroy and control churches, Believers, marriages, and households and ultimately thwart the greatest harvest of souls in the history of the Church.
This intentional assault also targets government leaders, education systems, businesses, media and arts and entertainment spheres of influence. Prophets and apostolic leaders are specific marks. The enemy knows if he can conquer the leader, he can also affect those they influence.
"This is going to be a glorious hour for the Church, as it will demand a refocusing on the Lord and His power."
Curses directed against Believers' health (mental, physical, and emotional), finances, relationships, and morals are particular objectives of the enemy in this season.
Witches Are Coming out of the Closet
The Lord revealed that there would be a new boldness and aggression in witches and they would be "coming out of the closet" declaring their evil intent. We saw partial fulfillment of this recently when a gathering of witches openly disclosed over national media that they were going to curse Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh. That statement opened a demonic portal in the spirit even though they were unsuccessful in their mandate.
Witches will also attempt to have their practices accepted in the Church and will be promoting the acknowledgment of witchcraft as part of sanctioned Christian spirituality.
No Fear
Believers are not to fear, but we must make certain that we are walking in clear discernment and giving the enemy no legal ground. Jesus said in John 14:30"...the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." The enemy has no legal right to anything that pertains to us UNLESS we open the door through sin and compromise.Jesus is our righteousness and we are taught to "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life"(Proverbs 4:23). Believers must not compromise in this hour, for the enemy is looking for landing strips in order to cast spells and assign curses. Curses, however, cannot be effective without a cause (Proverbs 26:2). We must not give him cause. (Photo via Patrica King)
God's Power on the Increase
Even as the enemy is increasing his assault, so also is God. The victory has already been won through Christ's finished work on the Cross two thousand years ago. The Holy Spirit is going to grant further revelation to Believers regarding their authority in Christ and the weapons that are available to them. War has been declared! There is no reason to fear as we are secure in Christ's love. If we walk in purity and relentless faith, we will know only victory... but the world needs us to step-up to the plate in this hour.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
A Glorious Hour
This is going to be a glorious hour for the Church, as it will demand a refocusing on the Lord and His power. Clearly, Believers who draw close to the Lord in this hour will experience new levels of manifested power coming from the very presence of the Lord and His heavenly throne room. The King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, will arise and show Himself sovereign! It is a time and season of great global harvest.
We are not to be sin conscious or demon conscious in this hour, but rather to be righteousness focused, worshiping the God of all power and all authority.
"The enemy knows if he can conquer the leader, he can also affect those they influence."
The Lord is sitting in the heavens laughing at the enemy and his schemes. That is also the position He wants us to take as we are "...seated in heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 2:6).
Look at what Psalm 2 declares:
"Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the LORD and against His anointed, saying,
'Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!'
He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
'But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion,
My holy mountain.'
"'I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, "You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as
Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as
Your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron,
You shall shatter them like earthenware."'
"Now therefore, O kings, show discernment;
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
Worship the LORD with reverence
And rejoice with trembling.
Do homage to the Son, that
He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!"
In my new book, EXPOSED: Witchcraft in the Church, I give a prophetic alert regarding this assignment in addition to teaching on our position in the battle and the use of specific weapons of warfare in this hour. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Labyrinth - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Labyrinth
Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God.” (Eccl 9:1, NKJV)


As for us, I can count the many churches my good wife and I have been a part of over these decades, serving in fellowship and in friendship. It numbers 11, since 1980. From Illinois to Michigan, then Florida and now North Carolina, we have been around. In Charlotte alone, since 1994, it has been six churches. So we know a lot of people attending different Sunday morning services!

Though to my knowledge I am not Jewish, I could say that I certainly have the heart of one, and at times thought I was like a “wandering Jew”, going from place to place. We made many friends and connections during these decades, and though some would consider this “bouncing from place to place”, it has been something I wouldn’t consider amiss. The Lord knows that when it comes to pollinating as flowers are by bees, we certainly can say we have done that. It also has given us the opportunity to connect churches to each other through these friendships.

When I received a prophetic word back in 1995 that I was in a labyrinth (at the time I had NO idea what that meant), I can now look back and see how the hand of God has directed. Even as the dictionary says, “a complicated irregular network of passages or paths in which it is difficult to find one's way; a maze”, I realize indeed that that word was from the Lord. This time has been an irregular network of passages. The journey has been a maze.

If you find yourself in a sort of labyrinth moment, or year, or even decade, don’t consider yourself too weird. It very well may be the Lord God of Israel directing your path. If you had asked Him to do so with an honest and seeking heart, you very well may find yourself too going from place to place for a certain period of ordained time. But know that there is an end, and once finally settled you will know it has been well worth the journey.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

China Gripped by Spiritual Revival as 'Hundreds of Millions Turn to Religion and Faith' - CBN News


China Gripped by Spiritual Revival as 'Hundreds of Millions Turn to Religion and Faith'
CBN News 04-25-2017


Forty-one years after China's Cultural Revolution snuffed out all forms of religious expression, hundreds of millions of Chinese people are flocking to religions like Christianity.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ian Johnson believes what's transpiring in China is nothing short of "one of the world's great spiritual revivals" and says the world better take note because the impact of this "spiritual transformation" could have significant global implications.  
"People {in China} are looking for new moral guideposts, some sort of moral compass to organize society," said Johnson, author of The Souls of China: The Return of Religion after Mao. "So they are turning to religion as a source of values to help reorganize society."
Johnson spent six years researching the "values and faiths of today's China." He says the fastest-growing drivers of this "religious revolution" are unregistered churches or so-called "house" or "underground" churches.
"These groups have become surprisingly well-organized, meeting very openly and often counting hundreds of congregants," Johnson wrote in an article for The Atlantic. "They've helped the number of Protestants soar from about one million when the communists took power to at least 60 million today."
Over the past 15 years, CBN News has also documented this unprecedented revival.
From the countryside to the big cities, we've highlighted how a new generation of believers is changing the face of Chinese Christianity.
"Any casual visitor to the country can tell you that the number of churches, mosques, and temples has soared in recent years, and that many of them are full," Johnson wrote. "While problems abound, the space for religious expression has grown rapidly, and Chinese believers eagerly grab it as they search for new ideas and values to underpin a society that long ago discarded traditional morality."

Church leaders that CBN News spoke with say prayer has played a key role in sparking the Christian revival.
For example, in one corner of northeast China, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, thousands of Christians have been meeting for an unprecedented prayer movement.
What started as a small gathering several years ago has turned into a nationwide prayer initiative uniting hundreds of Chinese churches.

In some cases, this revival is even touching China's state-controlled churches known as Three-Self Church.
"Now there's big revivals happening in the Three-Self Churches," Dr. Zhao Xiao told CBN News from his offices on the outskirts of China's capital city.


Zhao is one of China's foremost experts on Christianity. A former Communist Party member and atheist, Zhao converted after reading the Bible.
"If you go to Haidian Church, you'll find yourself in a more than 100-meter line trying to get inside and worship. In Shenzhen, there are usually an average of 500 people being baptized each Sunday!" he shared.
Decades ago, the Chinese government had a law that said that young men and women below the age of 18 could not attend Three-Self Churches. Zhao says those rules have been loosened in recent years.
"There's an increasing proportion of them in churches now -- more young male believers, professionals, mainstream celebrities, especially in the big cities, that are attending the church unlike the past when it was mainly the elderly who attended."
While the government remains deeply suspicious of China's religious revival, Johnson says it hasn't stopped people from exploring matters of faith.
"Hundreds of millions of Chinese are consumed with doubt about their society and turning to religion and faith for answers that they do not find in the radically secular world constructed around them," Johnson writes in his book.

We Have Entered a Time When Islamic Terrorists Will Be Specifically Targeting Christians and Churches in America - MICHAEL SNYDER CHARISMA NEWS

We Have Entered a Time When Islamic Terrorists Will Be Specifically Targeting Christians and Churches in America

MICHAEL SNYDER  CHARISMA NEWS
One Sunday morning, you may be sitting there peacefully with your family during what seems like a perfectly normal church service when a team of men dressed in camo comes storming in and starts shooting at people indiscriminately with automatic weapons.
Once upon a time, such a thing would have been absolutely unimaginable in America, but now things have completely changed. In fact, as you will see below, something like this almost happened a little over a week ago at a hotel in South Dakota where approximately 500 people had gathered for a Christian conference. This is a time when ministries are going to have to start paying extra attention to security, because Islamic terrorists are going to be specifically targeting Christians and churches.
Every year, the number of Islamic terror attacks worldwide just keeps rising, and according to one list, there has already been 619 Islamic terror attacks in 2017.
And sometimes it is just a "lone wolf" with a gun who suddenly snaps and goes on a shooting spree. Just consider what happened on Tuesday in Fresno, California. An Islamic militant named Kori Ali Muhammad decided to take out his gun and start shooting at people for no discernible reason whatsoever:
Dyer said the gunman walked up to the PG&E truck in the 300 block of North Van Ness Avenue about 10:45 a.m. and shot the passenger repeatedly. The driver of the pickup then sped to Fresno police headquarters on M Street. The second shooting was only a few seconds later and was at Van Ness and Mildreda Street, where the gunman shot at but missed a resident. The gunman then turned onto Fulton Street and fired several rounds at another man, striking and killing him, Dyer said. After reloading at a bus stop, the gunman then shot and killed a man in the parking lot of Catholic Charities in the 100 block of North Fulton Street, he said.
According to multiple mainstream news reports, authorities heard Muhammad shout out "Allahu Akbar." In Arabic that means "Allah is the greatest", and it is a phrase that is commonly heard during terror attacks all over the globe.
All of Muhammad's shooting victims were white, and his Facebook page reveals someone that was absolutely consumed with hate:
The frenetic profile includes militant and apocalyptic language and repeated demands to "let black people go." He referenced "white devils" and praised melanoma skin cancer.
On Saturday afternoon, Muhammad posted a photo of himself in a colorful garment, with his head covered, and the words: "LET BLACK PEOPLE GO OR THE DOOM INCREASES REPARATIONS & SEPARATION NOW."
He wrote in all caps on Monday: "MY KILL RATE INCRESASES [sic] TREMENDOUSLY ON THE OTHER SIDE ASÈ ALLAH U AKBAR" 
Another extremely disturbing incident occurred back on April 9th.
An Islamic radical who had brought "multiple firearms" with him stormed into a major Christian conference at a hotel in South Dakota, and his actions had many fearing for their lives:
A Muslim man entered a private gathering of Christians in a hotel ballroom in South Dakota, started cursing and livestreaming video on Facebook of the event and then, after he was ushered out, displayed multiple firearms and issued statements the speakers say were a direct threat to their safety.
The man, wearing a T-shirt that read, "I'm American, I'm a Muslim, I open carry, I conceal carry, and I'm dangerous only if you're stupid," was approached by a security guard and told to leave.
Once back in his car, he brandished an arsenal of weapons, including two military-style rifles with loaded magazines and three handguns, and made several threats of "Be scared, be [obscenity] scared. Be terrified." Again, it was all livestreamed on Facebook while he was parked in the conference-center parking lot.
Can you imagine what would have happened if he had started firing inside that ballroom?
Amazingly, authorities did not charge him with any crime.
The man who was in charge of organizing the conference is named Brannon Howse. I know him personally and I have appeared on his radio show numerous times. He has always warned that this sort of thing could start happening in America, but he probably never imagined that something like this would actually happen to him.
We all need to start changing the way we think, because these Islamic radicals can strike literally anywhere.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, federal authorities are telling us that radical Islamic terrorists are being investigated "in all 50 states" and that the threat of terrorism has now "reached an all-time high":
Federal authorities have open investigations into radical Islamic terrorists in all 50 states, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which is warning that the threat of terrorism in the United States has reached an all-time high with radicalized individuals in the country plotting to strike "each and every single day."
Unfortunately, what we have seen so far is just the beginning.
Many have been shown that absolutely horrific Islamic terror attacks are coming, and that Christians and churches will be specifically targeted. One of the people who have been shown these things is Marty Breeden:
In my spirit, I know and have seen that coming to the U.S., during our church worship services, there will be attacks. I've seen the doors burst open and the black hooded men in camo coming through with guns and shooting indiscriminately. I've seen them lock the doors behind them to inflict the maximum amount of casualties. I've seen the shock and fear on people's faces as it takes a split second for them to actually realize that they are about to be face to face with the one they were just singing about.
I see these attacks as a coordinated effort. I believe that many of the attacks and the houses of worship that are attacked will be places where the attackers had frequented to get a feel for the layout of the facility. For those who are able to escape, there will be those waiting outside to inflict and deal the same punishment as those inside. When this first takes place, many Christians will do as was done in the early church and will meet in homes and secluded private places.
I've seen people taking their Bibles to these meetings and am also armed as well as to provide protection for their families and children. Just when it seems that there can be no more tragedy, these attacks will start again in rapid fashion it will be a common occurrence, here in the U.S., to hear of yet another Christian church, meeting or Jewish synagogue attacked with deadly results.
And Nicole Moore created quite a stir when she went public with the warnings that she had received about "an Islamic plot to murder Christian children in churches across America":
I spend a lot of time fasting and praying to hear from the Lord. After a week of prayer and fasting in October 2014, I received a series of very disturbing prophetic warnings about an Islamic plot to murder Christian children in churches across America.
On Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014, I took my children with me to the church where we attend regularly. When our kids go to the children's church, we give a slip of paper to the person standing at the entrance. On that Sunday, my boys asked if they could hand the slip to the person. I told them that would be OK, but when they handed the slip over, as soon as the person touched the slip, I heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit say, "They are going to kill the children."
My heart dropped. Such grief welled up in my stomach.
You can read the rest of her account here.
Of course many will completely ignore these warnings, but those who are wise are bolstering security and praying for a hedge of protection around their churches.
We are living at a time that is completely different from what previous generations had to face. The threat of Islamic terrorism is growing all over the world, and Islamic terrorists have a special hatred for Christians and for churches.
We will not live in fear, but we will not stick our heads in the sand, either. Islamic terror is a threat that we are going to have to deal with, and those who are ignoring the warnings do so at their own peril.

The 5 Attacks on Churches This Week No One Told You About - ANTO AKKARA WORLD WATCH MONITOR

The 5 Attacks on Churches This Week No One Told You About 
Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticized for condemning the Palm Sunday attacks on churches in Egypt but failing to condemn attacks in his own country.
On the same day that two churches were bombed in Egypt, five churches in India— in five different states—were targeted (details below).
Church groups have called for extra security to be provided for churches in the run-up to Easter, and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the Egypt bombings but is not bothered about the blunt intimidation and assaults on Christians under his care," Rev. Roger Gaikwad, general secretary of the National Council of Churches in India, told World Watch Monitor.
"Modi as usual wants to maintain a good international image. Such a statement (condemning attacks in Egypt) also bolsters the stereotype of Muslims as terrorists and Christians as people who are attacked because their proselytizing activities are inviting problems for themselves."
The Evangelical Fellowship of India released a statement today (April 11), in which it criticized the "targeting of Christians on special days of worship, such as Palm Sunday" as "condemnable".
"We urge the respective state governments and the central (federal) government to not only take note of these violations, but also to take action to curtail the non-state actors who function with impunity," the statement read.
"It is important, especially now as we are in the Passion Week, for, going by the trends so far, it seems the incidents may escalate during Good Friday and Easter. It does not reflect well on the world's largest democracy, if incidents like these continue to hound religious minorities.
"We also request that the state machinery be held accountable and responsible for enforcing the rule of law, so that minorities can live in peace and without fear,"
Four of the five states in which the incidents took place are ruled by the Hindu-nationalist BJP—Modi's party. Meanwhile, so-called "anti-conversion laws"—which on the face of it protect against forced conversions but in reality discriminate against minority groups by forbidding them from any evangelism—are in force in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, where one attack took place, while they are also soon likely to be introduced in the western state of Rajasthan, where another incident occurred. Such laws also used to be in force in another of the affected states—the southern state of Tamil Nadu—but were repealed after the ruling party lost all its parliamentary seats.
The National Council of Churches in India said the sudden spurt in anti-Christian violence is a "signal" that Hindu nationalist groups like the BJP and RSS "are going to use the communal card in the most blatant way"—by teaching majority-Hindus that minorities like Christians and Muslims present a threat to the Hindu nation.
Activist John Dayal added: "The rash of violence against Christians, disrupting Palm Sunday prayers, speaks of a heightened impunity, and, we suspect, a more direct collusion of police and local authorities."
What Happened?
The information below, detailing five incidents in five different states on Palm Sunday (April 9), was provided by the Evangelical Fellowship of India.
Madhya Pradesh (Sitabedi village, Khandwa district)
Hindu extremists accompanied by police personnel disrupted a church service. Police arrested the pastors and their wives, and other Christians, and took them to the local police station. Three pastors were detained under the under the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act ("anti-conversion law"), but others were released that evening.
Haryana (Kaithal)
Hindu extremists disrupted the church service led by a pastor named Yashpal. The group "threatened and manhandled" the Christians and filed an official complaint at the local police station, alleging Christians had been forcing people to convert. Police then took the Christians into custody. The local inspector said it had been "protective custody" and that they were released after the allegations against them were found to be baseless.
Uttar Pradesh (Jahanpur village, Ghazipur district)
A mob beat up Krishna Paul, the leader of Believers Church, and handed him over to the police. He was released after local Christian leaders intervened and spoke to the police.
Rajasthan (Sri Ganganagar)
Hindu extremists disrupted the service at the church of God, and church leader Saji Mathew was arrested and taken into police custody, along with seven other Christians. Local villagers, with the help of a Hindu priest, had complained to the village chief that Christians had been "engaging in conversions." The village chief then signed a complaint and gave it to the local police, who arrested the Christians. After other local Christian leaders pleaded with the police to release the Christians, they were set free later that night.
Tamil Nadu (Keeranur, Dindigul district)
Government officials disrupted private prayers at the house of a man named Gunasekaran. The officials took video clips and pictures of people praying and then told them to stop. They also told them to ask permission from the District Collector before praying again in the house. Gunasekaran's extended family (about 20 people) have gathered in his house every Sunday for the last 24 years, for private prayers. Gunasekaran was forced to sign a piece of paper and told to report to the local government office the following day. The Evangelical Fellowship of India noted that the prayers are attended only by family members and not by other members of the public, and that no loudspeaker system is used during the prayers.
