"The Greatest Thanksgiving Ever: Death is Swallowed Up in Victory"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

November 22, will usher in perhaps the greatest Thanksgiving Day ever for our nation. Because we are in a season of war, it is at times difficult to give a word that simultaneously acknowledges the casualties of this war while yet pointing out the victories we are stepping into.

By nature of living in California, I am unavoidably aware of the tragic loss of life brought on by the recent shooting and subsequent, unprecedented California fires. May the comfort and grace of the Holy Spirit surround each and every one of the affected, like a garment of glory.

This Present War

"It is a time for courage, a time for resolve, a time for faith and a day to choose crazy hope and joy."

We are unmistakably at war in ways most of us can't even presently imagine. The nation is at war and as part of it, California is on the front lines of that war. Behind the curtain of what is visibly puppeteered to us via the news media, there is a battle of the ages raging between established deep darkness and the sons and daughters of light. Most intercessors are aware of this, and I think perhaps more passionate and informed intercession is rising to Heaven at this time than at any time in our history. This is a proof that we are at war. The good news is that darkness can not triumph over light, and so we are witnessing one of the great stories of the ages. In the midst of our confusion and momentary bewilderment, a great victory has already been decreed for us. This great war is designed to produce great victories.

Deeper Darkness Than We Imagined

What is being exposed and then being defeated is a deeper darkness than we imagined. We are in the midst of a parted, Red Sea moment. We can clearly see Pharaoh's chariots, horses and men, and it is a bit unnerving. Syndicated wheels of darkness look like they are going to run us over. However, instead of being run over, God is going to remove those chariot wheels of oppression just like He did in Exodus 14. He is then going to release the full justice-weight of His Red Sea on those entrenched in the mud. For instance, what California has been going through has not been caused by global warming or happenstance disasters. It is sinister, directed and intentional, and there are both demonic forces and human elements involved.

Resist the urge to want to curse and bash California and realize that it is on the front lines for kingdoms clashing. Darkness has embedded itself deeper in California. Know that as it gets exposed and cleared up here, it will have national and worldwide repercussions. The embedded evil at the top of all the 7 mountains (media, family, economy, government, education, arts, religion) has been worse than we thought. Our political system has been almost entirely compromised and that is both on the Republican side as well as the Democrat.

Our governing agencies for food and medicine have not only been compromised, but intentionally injected with death. This will be forthcoming once the Goliath of compromised, lying media is beheaded. Yes, it has been "fake news," but we will soon enter a new day for the mountain of media where "Davids" will rule. Israel shook for 40 days under the siege of Goliath because they had no anointed representative on their "mountain of media." David came and challenged Goliath's narrative, established a new narrative, and then beheaded the big, lying mouth—setting God's people free to shout and defeat their oppressors. When we see Goliath beheaded we better never let the mountain of media be so completely taken again.

But a Great Thanksgiving!

Now the better news. I have been very encouraged by God through a series of dreams in the last few days. I won't go into them now, as I am still not clear if they speak naturally or spiritually or even both. Whichever one, it is good. I am hearing that He is granting us the greatest Thanksgiving Day ever as a nation, and there are specific promises and truths from John, Mark and Hebrews 11:22 that He is highlighting for us at this time. He knows it has been a season of war—with loss, with disorientation, with questions of "Where is God?"

It has been a season to be challenged and therefore grow in faith. Engage that faith now and see a great reward for it.

11/22 Words For Now: Resurrection Faith

John 11:22, "But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

Mark 11:22, "So Jesus answered and said to them, 'Have faith in God.'"

Hebrews 11:22, "By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instruction concerning his bones." (Photo via DeviantArt)

The common theme for these three passages is FAITH. In John 11, the context is the death of Lazarus, and it is Martha telling Jesus that she knows God will listen to Him, though she doesn't really believe Lazarus can rise from the dead. Jesus needed to be there BEFORE the death in her mind. Jesus had already given His view on Lazarus in John 11:11 where He said, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps..."

There are matters and promises that seem dead, and God is about to showcase resurrection power. Something of this ignites November 22.

In Mark 11:22, this is the passage where Jesus, right after the scribes and Pharisees discuss how to destroy Him (because He had drained the temples' "swamp"), talks about mountain-moving faith being activated as we doubt not in our heart. Mark 11:24 is even clearer. "...whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them." This well-known promise on the rewards of faith was given at a time of conflict and clash. He is speaking that to us again today.

"...we will soon enter a new day for the mountain of media where "Davids" will rule."

The context of Hebrews 11:22 is of course the faith chapter of the Bible. Verse 22 is yet another verse on death being swallowed up in victory as in the Lazarus story. It is remarkable in that hundreds of years before Israel actually experiences the exit out of Egypt of Exodus 14, Joseph is seeing it and prophesying it.

Again, a message for us this 11/22 is that He is swallowing up death, and that it is time for our own Exodus 14 day as a nation.

55th Anniversary of JFK's Death

It would be remiss of me not to mention that this Thanksgiving Day is also the 55th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is a day remembered for profound national sadness as a young, visionary president who championed freedom and warned of socialism, was tragically taken out. That aspect of his message is ready to resurrect today, and it is no accident that President Donald Trump chooses JFK's desk as the desk of choice (he has 7 to choose from). JFK was the last president to attempt to take out elements of the deep syndicated evil, and their is a double grace for that to now take place. 5 is the number of grace and 55 is double grace. It is resurrection power.

Accelerate Wins the Breeders Cup Classic

The horse racing for this year never stops giving. I have given several prophetic words on key horse races starting with Promises Fulfilled being an 18-1 odds winner of the Fountain of Youth stakes early this year. Then Justify won the Triple Crown of racing, overcoming the favorite, Good Magic (who's name symbolizes "slight of hand, alternative power, deceit," or i.e. "fake news"), in muddy and foggy conditions. Justify was named by its owners from the book of Romans where it is mentioned several times (by His Blood, by grace, by faith—see Romans 3:24, 28 and 5:1 and 9).

Well, another horse has now made a name for himself since Justify retired to siring (undefeated). Accelerate is yet another chestnut/red horse who is being called a late bloomer. He only became significant in this 5th year of his life, and really only because of the last 5 wins before the year-end, final Breeders Cup Classic—which is an open race for horses of all ages to determine best of the year (note the double 5's with Accelerate). Accelerate won this last race here in November while wearing a number 14 and wearing green. Because of this win there is now a discussion of who was the horse of the year, Justify or Accelerate. I love that, as they are both significant.

Justify championed with the color red, which this year I have associated with the mountain of media, the Blood of Jesus and Trump winning what he needs to win to do what he is called to do. The "red tsunami" can not be limited to any one of these, though. It is all assured by the true, tsunami-red of the Blood of Jesus. That is what sets and pushes the winning agenda of the Kingdom.

I believe the "Accelerate" button gets pushed this Thanksgiving Day, and that the green color is about prospering. We prosper (Accelerate) because He paid the price by His Blood (Justify). We cross the Red Sea so we can enter the green, luscious Promised Land (Promises Fulfilled) that flows with milk and honey. The number 14 is yet another reference to the Exodus 14 day we are in where we are being delivered through the Red Sea/tsunami/waves. This rescue operation of God is intense. It is messy. It is at times disorientating, but stay encouraged and be assured it is not being stopped. (Photo via Unsplash)

Those in other nations who are also already seeing your land's "deep darkness" exposed: be encouraged, as His rising justice will be relentless in your nation as well. It is a time for courage, a time for resolve, a time for faith and a day to choose crazy hope and joy. God doesn't lose any fights (or races) He gets in, and He is in this fight for the nations. It is the just reward for His suffering, and He is going to enjoy putting the enemy in His place. We should too. Surprises are coming! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Hollywood Actress Whose Property Was Miraculously Saved from Deadly Fire Says God is Bringing Revival to California - CBN

Hollywood Actress Whose Property Was Miraculously Saved
from Deadly Fire Says God is Bringing Revival to California

11-15-2018

CBN News Emily Jones

California officials say they've identified 59 people who died in the wildfires that have ravaged the state for more than a week.

Governor Jerry Brown is calling on the National Guard to help search for more victims and the death toll is expected to rise.

CBN News spoke with actress Brenda Epperson who lives in the region affected by the fires.

She once starred in the daytime drama The Young and The Restless. She has been posting videos on Facebook about the flames and the destruction, how God spared her home miraculously, and what she's doing to help others in the aftermath.

Epperson says in a Facebook video that she prayed Psalm 91 over her home, and the fire miraculously stopped right at the border of her property.

"I just kept praying Psalms 91 over our home, 'whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in his mighty shadow. I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my God in whom I trust. Surely, he will save you from the fowler's snare and the deadly pestilence. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you."

Epperson's home is an oasis of green and life in the midst of her scorched neighborhood. Even the horses from other farms took refuge at her home during the fire.

"We could only evacuate the horses that could fit in our trailer which was three horses. And then all of our neighbors had borders so all of their horses, 25, 30, horses went in that pen. And so there were 35 horses there and the fire stopped. God stopped that fire, Wendy, right at our property line," she said. "Every horse was okay. They had water, they didn't even have ash on them."

Now, Epperson and her family are helping anyone who's lost their homes. They're helping drive people to their homes and providing food, supplies, and whatever they need.

"Two gentlemen we drove down...it was just so devastating to watch, to drop them off and to watch them walk down this dirt road. Everything was burnt and they just said, 'My home is gone,' and they just walked into the distance," she explained.

Despite the devastation, Epperson believes God will turn tragedy into an opportunity for people to know Him.

"The good that's going to come out of it is I believe that revival, that God is going to wake us all up. I know my life is changed and I just want to share the love of God even more with everybody," she shared.

"I just want to say that God's love is there for each one of us if we would just simply say, 'Yes.' And it's been an honor helping friends and neighbors," Epperson added.

Johnny Enlow: "A Prophetic Message From the World Series: Sky's the Limit and Keep Your Joy!" - The Elijah List

Johnny Enlow: "A Prophetic Message From the World Series: Sky's the Limit and Keep Your Joy!"

The Elijah List Nov 14, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Johnny Enlow has a knack and a gift of seeing the "prophetic meaning" in many of the world's current events...and that also includes the recent Major League Baseball "World Series" which was recently won by the Houston Astros.

As we know...Houston and Texas have recently gone through some great devastation and Johnny shares what will come out of these shakings that have recently happened in the past few months, including multiple hurricanes, floods, fires, etc.

Through all of this Johnny, exhorts us to "keep our joy on"...and that's exactly what the world needs – His unspeakable joy – full of glory!

Johnny shares this about the recent World Series win from the Houston Astros amongst the devastation that recently happened in their city:

I listened with interest as several members of the Houston Astros talked about making a conscientious choice early in the series to just enjoy the games. There is a message here as well. We have been in a two-month period of so many devastating events taking place (Harvey, Irma, Maria, California fires, Vegas, Charlottesville and the Texas church shooting, etc.). There has also been so much division and hostility in the air via media outlets that it can be a challenge to stay above it all. However, that is exactly what we must do.

Yes, stay in prayer, stay in peace and don't lose your JOY! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Prophetic Message From the World Series: Sky's the Limit and Keep Your Joy!"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

As many of you know, I believe that many sports headliners conceal an accompanying spiritual message, and I believe the recent winning of the World Series by the Houston Astros over the Los Angeles Dodgers does just that. For the cynical handful of you who say, "We have the Bible and we don't need to be reading sports events," I will remind you that it is in fact the Bible that says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter" (Prov. 25:2). We too can become "kingly" if we drop our pride and religiosity.

A Tale of Two Cities Flooded by A Harvey

In a remarkable coincidence this year's World Series hometown has been dominated by news of a Harvey. Houston endured Hurricane Harvey and the worst flooding in United States history. Then we have Los Angeles still in the throes of being flooded by "the Harvey Weinstein effect" which has hundreds of women in the entertainment industry (and now elsewhere) courageously coming forward to reveal a deviant culture of sexual harassment by men in positions of power.

Ensuing reformation will come into Hollywood and society because of this flooding.

"The Kingdom of God does not advance in somberness but it exudes righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17)."

Curiously, there is a third Harvey in the mix. I shared last year of the release of a great angel of harvest glory named Harvey. Somehow all three of these Harveys will end up having a role in the coming harvest, not just of souls but of cities and nations.

Los Angeles and Houston seem both earmarked for something very special as it relates to harvest glory. Houston had its worst flooding ever; Los Angeles had its worst fire ever. Then they both met in the World Series.

Astros Win for the First Time: So Can You

Much was made of last year's World Series, and the fact that the Cubs broke a drought of over 100 years to win it. They beat the Indians who were the other team with the longest drought since winning a World Series championship. This year again had a similar theme in play with the Los Angeles Dodgers looking to break a drought of not winning since 1988. However, the Houston Astros top all of the drought-busting taking place, as they had NEVER won a championship in 55 years of existence.

A spiritual message for all of us is that even beyond breaking droughts, we are now in a season where those who have never had a real breakthrough can now have it. It is a time for the weak, small and foolish underdogs to put to shame the things that are mighty (1 Cor. 1:27). It is a time where God will enjoy using the despised and lowly to bring great Kingdom victories.

I love it that the word astro means pertaining to stars or the celestial bodies. It is simultaneously time for Heaven to rule on earth and time for the sky to be the limit. ALL things are possible and NOTHING is impossible to those who will exercise belief. This is a time to be empowered by that reality.

In the Spring Season of the Kingdom

George Springer had an incredible World Series and was appropriately named the most valuable player. "George" means "farmer or tiller of the soil" and "Springer" means "a cow or heifer near to calving". This is a season that will reward those that are actively tilling their soil as a birthing of something significant is about to be your reality. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Furthermore, "Springer" means, "having to do with Spring" and this becomes an important narrative of the day to run with in order to be fruitful. We are not in the age of the antichrist, the beast or the false prophet, but rather in the beginning spring season of the Kingdom age. If you will till the ground He has given you and swing hard when opportunities arise, you will find yourself hitting important Kingdom home runs. Astro-nomical gains are available as never before, as long as we have not quit. Get back in the game if you will. And yes, it's supposed to be fun.

Orange: Focus on the Family

In our 7 mountain teaching, we have identified the color orange as the color of the rainbow associated with the mountain of family. I believe it was significant that the Houston Astros were wearing their orange jerseys when they clinched game 7 as champions. This is a time for families and family breakthrough ministries and organizations to arise and shine.

The sexual brokenness of society has never been more evident, nor has the poor mental state of society been so much on display and in the news. There is a great opportunity for anointed power and solutions to come through the Church and to begin to heal society as we have never done.

We have been the rules committee for society as if our greatest assignment were to point fingers. Toting 10 Commandments around doesn't engage or change hearts and we must now shift into being actual healers of society who carry Papa's heart of acceptance, as well as His supernatural power. The Harvey Weinsteins' thrive in a broken family culture such as our own.

"ALL things are possible and NOTHING is impossible to those who will exercise belief. This is a time to be empowered by that reality."

Also, the recent shootings in Texas and in Vegas seem to point to mental health as being the presiding issue. Furthermore, our president just announced that we are in an opioid crisis, which is connected to our state of poor mental health and the abuse of prescription drugs. Thousands are dying every year. The pharmaceutical industry has a clear guilt in this whole picture, but beyond that, one third of Americans have some kind of anxiety or classical depression.

Broken families have a major role in all of these scenarios and we must now arise with Papa's "orange" color of strength. The Dodger "blues" must be dealt with and it is at a highest priority of importance.

Learn to Keep Your Joy

Yes, we must weep with those who weep, but we must also be careful not to think it our assignment is to process all the worlds' sad news. We are to be touched by these matters, but then we must give it to the Lord so that we can be the antidote to the sadness going around. The Kingdom of God does not advance in somberness, but it exudes righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).

I flew across the country recently, and while doing so felt to read Beni Johnson's The Happy Intercessor. I loved the book. I think this to be an excellent read right now for everybody. There is a lot happening in the spirit realm and everyone does carry SOME intercessory assignment. However, Beni is very clear on how joy becomes the greatest spiritual "game changer" that we can carry, as opposed to coming under a wrong sobriety. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

The Lord would have us just briefly get under the weight only He can carry, and then it becomes imperative we give it back and step back into joy. In fact, if we don't start from joy, we will take too much weight on – even to start with. Especially if you DO consider yourself an intercessor, this book gives great wisdom and guidelines.

If you are fighting depression or discouragement in any way as an intercessor, make reading this book a high priority. Intercession is very important right now, but only if done FROM a place of victory. We need to affect the thought realm of the second heavens and we need to affect it with celebration. If we can't find celebration, we haven't been finding Him. He's been winning the world series and it is time for us to join in popping the champagne, meaning joy and celebration.
