Bonnie Jones: Warning: Don't Miss The Boat! - The Elijah List

Bonnie Jones:

Warning: Don't Miss The Boat!

The Elijah List

In a vision I saw a small sailboat on the glistening, moonlit water at night; it was just ready to leave shore. Just as everyone was boarding, a woman ran back to take care of her unfinished business. The people cried out to her with a warning: "The boat is leaving now!" She continued on her way while the boat drifted away from shore.

Suddenly she turned around and frantically ran toward the water, but it was too late. She missed the boat. The passengers had no oars and couldn't return to shore to get her. She watched hopelessly from the shore as they drifted away into the moonlight.

Then I heard the Lord say, "Ready or not, here I come! Those who diligently seek the Lord will board this boat guided by the wind of the Holy Spirit!"

Faith is lifting our sails in this day as the Holy Spirit of Truth is leading us. No longer can we follow after agendas, patterns, and formulas; we must be totally reliant on the Holy Spirit to guide us.

I believe this woman represents Christians that truly love the Lord, yet they remain carnally minded. They continue using their natural senses instead of becoming spiritually minded. Therefore they still desire to feed their flesh, and when the Lord calls, their desire will always be to take care of the natural business first instead of doing the will of the Father.

Testing Of The Heart

There's a testing of our hearts taking place right now, and the outcome will be according to our decision. God will not violate our free will and we must live with the consequence of the choice we make. Will we follow after Him or continue on our own path according to our fleshly desires?

When Elijah found Elisha and threw his mantle on him, Elisha's first response was to run back and kiss his parents goodbye, then he would follow Elijah (see 1 Kings 19:20). Elisha was functioning in the carnal realm, or natural senses. And being a good son, his first response would be to honor his parents and tell them he was departing to follow after and be trained by this powerful man of God. Elisha, like the woman that missed the boat, had a choice to make. Elijah put him to the test, just like we are being tested today. 

Will you follow after Me or follow after your own fleshly desires?

So Elijah left there and found Elisha son of Shaphat, whose plowing was being done with twelve yoke of oxen, and he drove the twelfth. Elijah crossed over to him and cast his mantle upon him. He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Let me kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow you." 

And he [testing Elisha] said, "Go on back. What have I done to you? [Settle it for yourself.]" So Elisha went back from him. Then he took a yoke of oxen, slew them, boiled their flesh with the oxen's yoke [as fuel], and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, followed Elijah, and served him. 1 Kings 19:19-21 AMP

Elijah heard directly from God. But God was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. The Lord was in the still, small voice. Today God is stretching forth His hand the second time to deliver the keys of David into the hand of the righteous who have followed the Father in spirit and truth. They have forsaken all others for the work of the Cross of Jesus Christ.

The Fiery Sword

We've come to the place in history being written that God will rewrite what man has done in his own will. God is sending forth a fiery sword out of the mouth of His true prophets in this day that will cause division. It is His division that conquers the false, because truth will trump the false every time. It may not look like it at first, but watch as God begins a small work and brings increase through the nations of the world. He's coming in power in this day and we must be ready to move quickly. 

There is no obstacle in our life that God can't cover or remove.

The Book of Jude gives a warning about the false teachers that would creep in unnoticed for the purpose of turning God's grace into lewdness and deny the Lord (see verse 4). They are dreamers that defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of whatever they do not know because they don't know the person of the Word. 

They have never established a personal relationship with the Lord, and therefore operate from the flesh. And because they lack personal relationship with God and the desire to know His will, they corrupt themselves. Therefore they fall into apostasy and cause others to stumble (see verses 8-10).

Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. Jude 11

We're given three examples in the above verse, and I believe it is a progression. Man begins with hatred in his heart that leads to greed, and in time, as they mature in the nature of the evil one, it manifests itself in rebellion. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (see 1 Samuel 15:23), and God rejects those who partake of it.

The Way Of Cain: Cain had enmity in his heart. It was a deep-rooted hatred toward his brother that in time caused Cain to murder Abel. Cain's hatred and jealousy toward Abel was greater than his love for God. He had a choice to make. He chose to satisfy his flesh instead of following after God's heart and ruling over his fleshly desire. Cain had never established personal relationship with the Father, where I believe Abel did. That is why God rejected his offering.

 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. Genesis 4:7

The Error Of Balaam For Profit: Balaam was a soothsayer who mixed truth with false doctrine. His error was greed, or covetousness, because he was paid well to bring a curse upon the people of Israel. God's anger was kindled against him when he disobeyed Him and later withstood the Angel of the Lord three times. Balaam repented and brought the word of the Lord, refusing to curse Israel (see Numbers 22-23).

 The Rebellion Of Korah: Korah rejected true leadership, causing many to perish. He was one of the richest leaders of the Levites and a cousin of Moses and Aaron. He was jealous and felt overlooked for leadership, and therefore gathered 250 leaders of the assembly to rebel against Moses and Aaron. This angered God and He separated the holy from the profane. God did a new thing (see Numbers 16:30-32) and the earth opened up its mouth and swallowed them and their households – and a fire consumed the rest of the 250 men (see Numbers 16).

Crossroads In Time

The Body of Christ has come to a crossroads in time, a juncture on their heavenly journey in the Lord. Each one must decide for themselves which way to go. Some will want to turn back for fear of the unknown, yet others will proceed in faith. 

It is there that God meets them head-on, and they will move into a new dimension in Him. Those who choose to proceed in faith must be space aviators and explore the uncharted waters of the Spirit.

The Lord is coming for His Bride without spot or wrinkle. She will be scarred from the many battle wounds she sustained, but she will be worthy as she praises Him. The world has set itself on a course of self-destruction, and day-by-day she lingers in her own filth. But His Bride will be set aside, a glory to be witnessed as she stands out among the rest.

Don't miss the boat. Step out in faith and follow God with a whole heart. Let Him be the Master that steers you through uncharted waters by the winds of His Holy Spirit of Truth and witness the new dimensions in Him. 

Just dare to believe!

Nellie Balandowich:

A Great Resurgence - In the Generation 

of Those Born Before the 1960s!

When I woke up on the morning April 6, 2014, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me, and I heard Him say the generation that was born before the 1960s is arising...many in that generation who have been asleep or lulled are now awakening to new dreams, visions, and invitations from the Spirit of God!

"This generation has been lulled into mediocrity, and I am breathing My ruach breath on them and bringing them back to life. When the world tells them they are to wind down, ha! I laugh, because I am sending a sound, a frequency, that is awakening them to dreams being born.

"I am awakening a knowledge and a persistence to forge forward and to think further than their natural mind has taken them. There is a knowing being released that with Me all things are possible! This generation is arising to understand and delight in the fear of the Lord and walk in the knowledge and counsel of My Spirit. There is a renewal coming to a generation that thought they were forgotten.

"I say rise up, oh sleeper. Rise up to a new day for you – a new fervency, a new direction. I will restore, and I will refresh, and I will anoint you to dream again; and to not only dream but to live out those dreams. I am the One who empowers you, and I will teach you the way to go and how to get there. It is not the time to give up. It is not the time to say it is over, for I tell you it is just beginning.

"Hear the sound of horse hooves. They are coming your way. There is a gathering of a generation that thought it was over, and I am calling you to RISE UP! I am unleashing a renewing of youth, and strength, and purpose, and intent for all who are willing to say, 'YES.'

"Your greatest hour is ahead, and together we are going to partner to bring forth My Bride. All parts of the Body are required. The world has said 'Retire, wind down'; others said, 'You've lived your life,' or, 'You cannot offer anything,' but I say 'NO!'

"You are to awaken to Kingdom purposes and protocol. I am birthing something new in you, and I will not allow a generation to fall asleep, for you were born for such a time as this! For such a time as this you will come forth and you will awaken, and the glory of the latter house will be much greater than the glory of the former house!

"Can you hear the sound? The awakening of a supernatural generation has begun," says the Spirit of God! "It is the sound of RESURGENCE, supernatural resurgence. It has been released!

I am calling forth a generation to finish well!"

Twila Paris - How Beautiful (video)

Twila Paris

God Shed His Grace: Songs of Truth and Freedom ‚ÄúFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn‚Äôt pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.‚Äù ‚ÄîRonald Reagan In 1981, Ronald Reagan took the official oath of office and became the 40th President of the United States. That same year a young 20-year-old songwriter from northwest Arkansas recorded her first album, and a few years later she caught the attention of listeners with her first No. 1 song, ‚ÄúThe Warrior Is a Child.‚Äù Fast forward to 2012. Politics is the talk of the media as another election year is upon us, leaving Americans to decide who will be our 45th president. The 20-year-old girl who voted for Ronald Reagan in her first presidential election grew up to become evergreen artist Twila Paris, who today is a working mom, balancing career and family. With 22 albums, 33 No. 1 hits, numerous Dove Awards‚Äîincluding three for ‚ÄúFemale Vocalist of the Year‚Äù‚Äîand over 1.3 million albums sold in the course of her tenure, Paris‚Äô career contains almost as many significant milestones as our nation‚Äôs history. In fact, current events and the tumultuous ups and downs of American history have played an integral part in shaping Paris‚Äô songwriting throughout the past 30-plus years of her career. Her 23rd release, God Shed His Grace ‚Äì Songs of Truth & Freedom (eOne Christian Music), comes at a pivotal time in history. However, it‚Äôs a natural progression in the singer/songwriter‚Äôs career as Paris has always been a loyal patriot, and this album is a self-described ‚Äúlove letter and prayer‚Äù for her country. ‚ÄúThis is an album of encouragement for Christian patriots,‚Äù says Paris. ‚ÄúThough it is a collection, it‚Äôs not just a greatest hits album. These are songs that were hand-picked by me with a lot of time and thought as to which ones would speak to the hearts of those Americans, who are sometimes heartbroken and a little discouraged but faithfully standing where they are called to be.‚Äù Paris contrasts her son J.P.‚Äôs childhood experiences with her own, remembering a simpler time when prayer and Bible reading were allowed in public schools, and history was taught within the context of Judeo Christian principles. ‚ÄúI was brought up to be a patriot. In school, we were given the true story of our nation with a positive emphasis on the heroism and courage of those who came before us,‚Äù recalls Paris. Paris attributes her passion to a life-long love for her country versus politics. ‚ÄúI‚Äôm getting more and more concerned about the direction of the nation and more and more passionate about the things I believe,‚Äù she asserts. ‚ÄúAs a culture, we‚Äôve come to a place where we think every generation is smarter than the last, and none of us need to hear anything from God, which, as a premise, is both false and dangerous. Our founders got it right. They really did. We need to get back to what they intended and not be reinterpreting and superimposing agendas. We have been moving away from what makes us great as a nation; and this isn‚Äôt about politics. Politics is simply a reflection of who we are.‚Äù The songs on God Shed His Grace provide a glimpse into the award-winning artist‚Äôs thoughts on world events through the years. At the time of the original recordings, these songs may have seemed significant in their own right, but when collected in this context, they create a vibrant timeline that spans the course of her incredible career and forms a patchwork of historical commentary‚Äîsnapshots of bravery, tragedy, sacrifice and triumph. ‚ÄúI See You Standing‚Äù was inspired by the courageous young man who stood in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square. ‚ÄúGod Is In Control,‚Äù arguably one of Paris‚Äô most well-known songs, was written in response to her own anxieties about the direction of our nation. Songs like ‚ÄúTrue North‚Äù and ‚ÄúWisdom‚Äù were written with an eye toward culture and government; while ‚ÄúWhat Did He Die For‚Äù was inspired by the 50th anniversary of D-Day, after Paris watched World War II footage on TV, tears filling her eyes. While every song has been re-mastered, none were re-recorded. ‚ÄúYou could go through and redo everything, but somehow I love the fact that it walks you through that time period,‚Äù Paris explains. Two new recordings fit in seamlessly with the timeless songs gathered here. Paris recorded our national hymn, ‚ÄúGod of Our Fathers,‚Äù a song her 77-year-old father learned in school, not in church‚Äîa strange dichotomy she finds ironic. She also adds her distinct style to ‚ÄúAmerica the Beautiful.‚Äù Recorded in her living room, Paris made it her own. ‚ÄúI wanted to bring something fresh and artistic to the production,‚Äù she says. ‚ÄúI wanted it to feel more like a prayer than a performance, because it is a prayer if you look at the lyric.‚Äù Her personal prayer is that Americans will live responsibly with the freedom they‚Äôve been given. ‚ÄúAs a Christian I‚Äôm given this gift of salvation because of Christ‚Äôs sacrifice. As an American, I‚Äôm given this gift of freedom because people who lived more than 200 years before me had the wisdom and the courage to understand what needed to happen, and they had the willingness and the selflessness to make the sacrifice,‚Äù she says. Paris may have slowed down to focus on family in recent years, but you can hear the urgency in her voice. If anything, she‚Äôs more passionate than ever before about passing on the values of our forefathers not only to her son but also to the next generation, hoping to instill some national pride in them along the way. ‚ÄúUltimately, freedom is only as valuable as what we choose to do with it. Freedom is a priceless gift but it can be wasted,‚Äù she acknowledges. ‚ÄúI believe God gives us freedom for a reason,‚Äù she continues. ‚ÄúI don‚Äôt think it‚Äôs the ultimate goal. In a way it‚Äôs a commodity, and each of us has a responsibility to do something worthwhile with it. What did all these people who died for me die for? What do I do with the moments of my day and the days of my life to bring honor to that sacrifice?‚Äù Paris will share songs from God Shed His Grace on the road this spring with veteran artists Michael Card, Steve Green and Wayne Watson on the ‚ÄúChristian Classic Tour.‚Äù ‚ÄúThese days, when I go on tour it‚Äôs really sweet, partly because it isn‚Äôt as often,‚Äù she shares. ‚ÄúSo many people who listen to this music have been around as long as I have; and that‚Äôs part of what is so wonderful about these evenings. It‚Äôs not just hanging out with my old friends, but it‚Äôs like the people in the audience are our old friends, too; and every single concert is like a class reunion.‚Äù Logging fewer hours on the road now than in the past, Paris still finds herself busier than ever. Today, her focus is on her son, J.P., whom she home-schools. However, she‚Äôs still writing and recording out of a heart of passionate belief, as evidenced by her latest collection. ‚ÄúI‚Äôm doing this album because it‚Äôs deep in my heart to do this project,‚Äù Paris affirms. ‚ÄúIt continues to be a calling and an honor and a privilege to be able to go and share His Word and sing these songs.‚Äù -Written by Lindsay Williams

Volume 18

"As You Lean into Me My Bride,

You Will Be Set Aflame"

"As you draw near to Me in adoration and worship," says your Lion-Bridegroom, "I will release fresh fire upon you, deeper and hotter than ever before. This fire will remove the dross and complacency that has been upon much of My Body. For this is the hour of the purifying fire of Malachi 4...burning like an oven and burning not only the branches, but also the roots of those things that oppose Me."

"Surely this is the season I am releasing fresh fire from heaven upon My people, upon those who are seeking Me. For it is the consuming fire of My presence that is needed in this dark day, for many who are lost and bound will not recognize Me unless they encounter Me in a tangible way. I am looking for those who will fully surrender to Me so I can manifest My fire in and through them to all around. During the dry and challenging last season some have grown weary and lukewarm. I desire to stir and ignite them afresh that they woud burn brightly and clearly and flow in increasing dumais power. For this will produce more fruit for My Kingdom and also more liberty and victory for you personally."

"I am inviting you to fellowship with Me in the fire of My holiness. Commune with Me in the fire of My passion....the passion of My love for you, My Bride. As you draw ever-nearer I will impart to you My fiery passion for lost souls, for the perishing and the dying. Commune with Me as the Lion of Judah and I will ignite your hearts with love for My people Israel, that they would come to know Me as their Lamb-Messiah. As you lean into Me My Bride, I will take you into new realms, glories and possibilities."

How we love you, Jesus our Lion! Our hearts say yes, yes....Y-E-S to you!

Consume us.... that we are transformed into living torches releasing your presence everywhere we go. Amen!
