Johnny Enlow: "2018: A Time of War and Victories"

The Elijah List Jan 6, 2018
Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
While Johnny is one of my favorite prophetic voices, can I just tell you that he is a bit "edgy" at times when he writes?
But, be sure to read IT ALL. Sometimes, you need to read the first part that makes you go, "What?" But then you need to read the last part of what he is saying that can cause you to say, "Oh, I get what he is saying now!"
Johnny Enlow is uniquely gifted to bring discipline to wrong-thinking in the Church, but it will do well for you to read his words CLOSELY...because just when you think you know what he is saying, realize he is also saying something different than you first thought.

2017 has been a year that has exceeded every projection of disruption. A year ago I wrote a word entitled "Trumpquake" that described the upheaval that Trump's presidency would usher in—ensuing tsunami waves of change. If anything, that word understated what actually has become reality.
2017 in Review
The first full year of Donald Trump as President shook seemingly everything that could be shaken. A most sensational war has been engaged with the dominant media all year, with no truce coming from either side. "Fake news" and "alternative facts" are now household concepts and realities. Also, an overall vicious, political atmosphere was in effect for the entire year.
We have also had very extreme weather patterns, as creation seemingly caught itself up in the turmoil of everything. Many severe weather stories became relegated as compared to the three big storms—Harvey, Irma and Maria—that each in its own way was a historical hurricane, which I have previously covered. Interestingly enough in Zechariah 9:14 it says (emphasis mine):
"Then the Lord will appear over them; His arrow will flash like LIGHTNING. The Sovereign Lord will sound the TRUMP and He will march in the storms of the south."
The Hebrew word for the word "lightning" is "baraq." It is no coincidence that this verse speaks of a time where the Lord intervenes with "baraq" (or Barack), and then that He would sound the "trump" (or Trump) and march in the storms and hurricanes of the south. 
God is neither Trump nor the hurricanes, but He is sounding the "Trump" and He has marched IN on the hurricanes of the south. Put together the first letter of each storm and you have HIM. In the seeming mayhem of it all, He is there.
In 2017 we also experienced an almost unprecedented total, solar eclipse that carried its own message. Then we had a constellation assignment so unique that again, the "doom and gloomers" came out of the woodwork with another false, prophetic narrative. All these events and phenomenons were significant and telling of a special day, but it was all about Kingdom of God advancement and not kingdom of darkness advancement.
Somehow, each of these "once-in-a-lifetime events" seemingly paled in comparison with the "Harvey Weinstein effect" that has seen literally hundreds of the "gate keepers" at the tops of all 7 mountains (media, economy, government, education, family, arts and entertainment and religion) forced from their stronghold positions. Suddenly and before our very eyes, tsunami waves with a new cultural appetite for justice are vacating the high places and making room for the new. A line has been drawn in the sand. God's daughters will be better protected as they rise and shine. The accompanying story line of the hit movie "Wonder Woman" is all interwoven into the new narrative of the day—a movie where not only were women positively highlighted, but the central star was an Israeli actress named Gal Gadot. No coincidence there either.
2018: War and Victories
"We must learn first of all to love—then we must learn to love at the same micro and macro level that He does. He recognizes the souls of cities and nations as well as the souls of individuals, and He is now prioritizing them as never before."
I would like to tell you that 2018 will be very different than 2017, and that everything will calm down...however, to do so would mislead you. Ecclesiastes 3:8 says that there is "...a time for war and a time for peace." Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, this is not the time for peace, but for war. However, there is great news in this forecast because the purpose of this time of war is to regain that which was lost, and to take "Promised Land" ground that was never entered into. The enemy is always at war with us—this is a time for it to cease to be one-sided. God is surely anointing us for war, meaning He has great victories designed for us. This time for war has both a collective and individual application, and in both scenarios the righteous must be bold as lions.
I want to take some time to explain this present meta-narrative, because as we do it allows us to position ourselves with the necessary resolve to experience the much-desired breakthrough victories. The taking of "Promised Land" is designed to come only to those who will "be of good courage," as the Lord repeatedly told Joshua. Perhaps there is an absence of courage in the present Body of Christ, and we must now set our minds to be people of courage.
A basic ripple effect of not embracing courage manifests as fear and anxiety—which have presently disabled many of the sons and daughters of the King. This must change. What you need to do is to set your mind to be courageous. Most likely, your external circumstances are not always going to be peaceful, so you must find that peace internally. Being courageous positions you to be peaceful—no matter what unexpected circumstance comes about. We are courageous knowing that this season is a season of designated victories.
Saul, David and Solomon: Obama, Trump and Next
I was shown that this significant season for the United States has many parallels with the season the children of Israel went through with their first three kings—Saul, David and Solomon. The parallels are not perfect, so it is not good to excessively read into the analogy—but it is a narrative that will assist us in embracing the present, as well as setting ourselves up for where we are going next.
The parallels should not be used to excessively demonize Obama, nor overly praise Trump, but there is something to learn here. Before I address this, I want to acknowledge how much we all still have to learn about God's ways. He has spoken to me about how MOST of us are out of sync with both who He is and what He is doing. That may be initially discouraging to hear, but if we will use that to properly position our hearts in humility it can be the best thing for us. In the aforementioned Ecclesiastes 3, it says in verse eleven that, "God has made everything beautiful in its own time," but then goes on to say, "but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end."This is a good presupposition for most of us.
As 2018 progresses, many of us will discover it as a reality. This is especially relevant if you have strong political opinions. Right now the church is split almost down the middle in its political opinions, and both sides are sure God is on their side. Unfortunately the split is often along racial lines as well. The easiest thing to do for the various races is to perceive their perspective is right and the other's is wrong—and this feeling is MOST pronounced among Believers. Somebody is going to have to do a lot of opinion-changing.
It is my observation that MOST of us will have adjustments to make in our thinking. Trump is uniquely ordained and anointed BY GOD to lead the United States at this time. This I tell you not from a political perspective but from a purely prophetic perspective. I have previously shared with you before that as I was seeing the vision of him winning I said aloud, "Oh No!" It was not MY choice, or MY opinion. Many of you are going to be invited to abandon YOUR choices and YOUR opinions in order to be in sync with God's. This does not mean that if you voted for Trump you have nothing to learn. I believe I was shown that perhaps most of those who voted for Trump did so for the wrong reasons. Conversely, many that did not vote for Trump did not do so for a good reason. It is time to shift from "good" to "God" in our reasoning. That only happens when we prioritize His Kingdom above our own and remain humble and teachable.
Obama as Saul?
I believe that President Obama parallels Saul, in the sense that he was head and shoulders above everyone else, and that he was the people's choice. There was an anointing on President Obama and he did accomplish some meaningful things. However, like Saul, compromise was found in him that ultimately did not please the Lord. For those who would point fingers, it is quite possible that a major reason for President Obama doing less than he could have is because of the "Christian" vitriol and lack of prayer covering over him. However, in the parallel analogy we find Saul's last act being when he fell to the Philistines—in President Obama's last act we see him capitulating to the Palestinians (modern-day Philistia) to the unjust detriment of Israel. President Obama was well-spoken, seemed to manage his family well, was an inspiration for blacks and minorities world-wide, but he still served more as a Saul than a David.
Trump as David?
Though perhaps imperfectly, President Trump is as a David—specifically how David was as king. Whereas, Saul was a man of the people—David was a man chosen by God. God spoke to me, "I chose Trump because I know some things that none of you know." Donald Trump was divinely chosen and placed in power by God, but because we cannot see "...the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end,"(Ecclesiastes 3:11) many of us are presently confused or deceived. While this is all understandable based on Trump's imperfections, it will ultimately hurt our own, personal "Promised Land" gains to not be in sync with God. If we never invited Him in to our processing there is a price to pay for that oversight and pride. (Photos via Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons)
Though it may seem almost insulting to equate President Trump with David, it is only unreasonable when we forget David's less than ideal behavior. David was a man of war from very young. He was never noted for his soft speech, nor his general "fruit of the Holy Spirit." Even in defeating Goliath, he yelled back at Goliath and upped the ante to the words Goliath spoke to him by having an even more vicious response. David was quite vocal in his disputes with his opponents. Also as you read David's "song of praise" to God in 2 Samuel 22, you see his strong identity in his responses with war and with quenching his enemies. He spoke often of having to be defended by God because his enemies were many. Beginning in verse 38 he said:
"I chased my enemies and destroyed them, I did not stop until they were conquered. I consumed them; I struck them so they did not get up; they fell beneath my feet...You placed my foot on their necks, I have destroyed all who hated me... They even cried to God, but He refused to answer. I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth, I trampled them in the gutter like dirt...Sovereign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit. They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds...He is God who pays back those who harm me; He brings down the nations under me." (2 Samuel 22:38-48)
You see, Trump has a similar call of God towards America's destiny as to what David had on behalf of Israel. Through Trump, God is drawing lines in the sand even for entire nations. The recent vote against the USA in the United Nations registered in Heaven. Most of the nations chose to condemn Trump and the USA for stating that we would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital—a fact already sanctioned in Congress over 20 years ago, but with no president that previously possessed the inner fortitude to stand up to the nations. Likewise, Trump's obedience to declare Jerusalem as Israel's eternal capital, as well as where we will now have our embassy located, resonated heavily in Heaven.
You have to leave it to God to judge the value of that as counter-posed to Trump's Twitter "meanness." Because it is a time of war, Trump is called to be rough sandpaper for things God is surfacing to be dealt with. The Church needs to be the ministers of reconciliation, but it is not President Trump's assignment—particularly at the front end of his term. Discernment is so critical at this time.
It was David who established Jerusalem as special, and he took it away from the Jebusites for good. It was David that made Israel strong and saw them defeat the Philistines, the Moabites, the Syrians, the Ammonites and others (see 2 Sam. 8). It was win after win as he took on the nations. It was David that made Israel extremely wealthy, and from that wealth was able to contribute literally billions of dollars worth of resources to the building of the house of God that Solomon would build.
Presently, Trump has the assignment to have Israel and Jerusalem protected and strengthened, as well as the assignment to make America great in resources and in military might. The military might establishes and ensures that nations that are oppressed by despots may have freedom. It is the Church that carries the "tabernacle of David" part of the assignment to bring in the presence of God to it all. We cannot confuse President Trump's assignment with our own.Whether or not he lacks love in what he does or how he communicates, we cannot properly advance the Kingdom without love.
David was not primarily a man of peace. He was not a man of soft words. He had trouble and betrayal around him seemingly at all times. Goliath was his most famous adversary and he was the big mouth who froze Israel for 40 days as he took over the airways. Goliath represents the Media and David had to tame him before the Philistines could be routed.
David also had three sons who tried to take his throne. David was in almost constant relational conflict. Saul was actually a better family man than David, or at least had less brokenness around him. David's captain also turned on him—remember as well, Shimei and then Sheba. Everyone was seemingly out to get him, and his enemies were many—partially because his assignment was great and partially because relationships were not his strength.

Ultimately all his enemies were decimated because they came against him, the one anointed by God for a special mission—a special mission that took into account his failings. In David's day if you assumed you could bash him and be against him because of his failings, you would be fighting against God. It never justifies the sins and there are always consequences (as David had), but God has always had to anoint that which wasn't perfect—and then work on perfecting him while he is on assignment. The hypocrisy for the Church is that up until now we have had almost no vision, priority, or preparation for the mountain of government—yet we want to be the first to bash everyone who God has to pick from. We have to change that. Besides Jesus, God has never sent perfect vessels from Heaven, but always picks from the available pool of people on earth. Don't blame Him for His choices until and unless we upgrade the pool of prospects He has to chose from.
Next as Solomon?
I believe that after President Trump will be a leader who will encompass the best aspects of King Solomon. Solomon (which means "peace") of course was David's son and it was he who was commissioned to build the house of God. David wanted to do that as well, but was told that he was a "man of war" with some blood on his hands—not qualified for that assignment. Solomon was the man who asked for wisdom and then reigned in peace and prosperity during his time as king. This will be the assignment for the next president of the USA, and I believe it is somewhat obvious of who it is supposed to be. He carries peace and wisdom even now, and his last name is actually peace, except for one letter being different.
Am I prophesying that he will be next? Well, I am prophesying that is what I believe I have been shown. Can things mess it up so it doesn't happen? I don't think so, but I suppose only God knows the answer to that question. I do know that as a nation we are presently more in the midst of a force of destiny from God than most are aware of. He is still Sovereign, which doesn't mean He chooses everything that happens, but He CAN do so if and when He wants to.
Solomon enjoyed the advancements that David made for him and for Israel. Israel was now strong enough that surrounding enemies didn't dare move on Israel, because they remembered what happened under David. There was peace by strength, not peace by negotiating prowess. As long as wickedness abounds in the nations of the world, God will be using "peace by strength." Also because of the unprecedented prosperity, the nations and the queen of Sheba came to see Solomon and Israel.
Israel and the United States have an overlapping joint-destiny and the future for both is perhaps unmatchable prosperity. The enemy has attempted to surreptitiously prosper the enemies of Israel and America, but they will either repent from being enemies or they will have a crushing loss of resources—much like what happened to Venezuela through Hugo Chavez immediately after he cursed Israel. A great restoration is coming for Venezuela but they paid the price for repeatedly voting in Chavez as president.
So a "time of peace" is coming for America, but until that does come, we must access the peace internally and become the ministers of reconciliation that we are called to be.
God's Narrative
Perhaps where the Church is most distant from Him is in knowing His storyline and His narrative. As Bobby Connor will often say, "We are way too familiar with a God we barely know." We are growing in our knowledge of Him, which is good, but it is still our greatest poverty. Seemingly half the Church seems to think He is more about rules and commandments than about love and kindness, but the good news is we are shifting. Those who finally get that "He is about love" often don't know there is an accompanying storyline that goes with it which must be fulfilled. If you don't grasp the concept of His faithfulness to Abraham and by extension Israel, you are going to miss Him a lot, even if you know He is all about love. His love extends multi-generationally in ways that are difficult for us to comprehend. He values friendship and that's also something we don't have much of a grid for. Our entire existence here on earth includes us learning to discern His heart, His story, His narrative and agreeing with it.
It will always be about love, but there is a big-picture love story also being played out that can't be ignored in the details. It is why Jesus could tell Peter "Get behind me satan" when Peter insisted Jesus didn't need to go to the Cross. Peter sounded loving towards Jesus, but he was ignorant of the greater love story (the Cross) he was seeking to do damage to. God's narrative (think movie script) includes Israel, Jerusalem, the 7 mountains, cities and nations, and He can think about each with as much passion as He does for an individual. We don't naturally know how to do that. He wept over Jerusalem and expressed His passion for her as a city. We must learn first of all to love—then we must learn to love at the same micro and macro level that He does. He recognizes the souls of cities and nations, as well as the souls of individuals, and He is now prioritizing them as never before.
Last Word on Trump
"God is neither Trump nor the hurricanes, but He is sounding the "Trump" and He has marched IN on the hurricanes of the south."
As we begin to understand the God who works a big-picture narrative, we then see the brilliance of Him choosing a man named Trump to be the game-changer in history. Psalm 47:5 says, "God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of the trumpet." Isaiah 18:3 says, "...when He blows a trumpet, hear it!" Zechariah 9:14 says, "The Lord God will blow the trump and march in the storms of the south." Joshua 6:5 says, "...when you hear the sound of the trump...go straight forward." Nehemiah 4:20 says, "When you hear the sound of the trump rush to wherever it is sounding. Then our God will fight for us!"
A trumpet sound comes in to signify that a great change is here. Even the "last trump" of 1 Corinthians 15 is to announce that, "We shall all be changed." God is sounding His Trump and He is saying, "Time for change!" A time of war means a time of change. It means conquest time. Perhaps the most overused prophetic term is "breakthrough" and it will probably be in several different prophetic words for 2018. It is used so much that it seems to have lost its value. However, this year the Lord really does have breakthroughs that He wants to hand out as party favors everywhere.
It is appropriately enough that King David encountered Him as Lord of Breakthroughs. In 2 Samuel 5:20, he tells how the Lord delivered the Philistines into his hand and so he named the place Baal Perazim, which means "Lord of Breakthroughs" as he proclaimed, "The Lord has broken through my enemies!" This is, in fact, what God does have for each and every one of us as we embrace the season, the leadership, and the assignment He has placed before us.
Wall Street
For those reading this whole word, you will already know that I will speak positively of the Stock Market. However, to accommodate those who just scrolled down to this part, let me make it clear that I do think the market can still go up substantially as one of the signs of economic health and prosperity. I do not believe that the market overall is overpriced, and I see it going up to 30,000 in Trump's day—and that may not even be its limit. There will be a great boost to the economy from the new tax laws, as well as from Trump's economic declarations. Many of you who have heard that it will be bad for the poor or middle class will soon enough have first-hand proof that this is not so. You were a "victim" of distorted news. Of course with it all, Wall Street itself still needs ongoing reform, but that too will begin to be spliced in at an accelerated pace. It is a season of profound reformation.
Cryptocurrencies
The Bitcoin and an apparent tsunami of cryptocurrencies are all the rage right now. Many Kingdom friends are involved in them in some way or another, and I am frequently asked about them. I can neither condemn nor fully endorse them. A simple reality is that the economic dynamic of the dark kingdom is fear and greed (mammon). God's economic Kingdom works on the dynamic of faith and trust. Both entail risk, but only one of those risks is a Kingdom-sanctioned risk. If the reason you are investing or running with the new cryptocurrencies is because of fear or greed then that is not really a Kingdom venture, even if you make a lot of money.
I know that many are fearful that the dollar is going to collapse and so that fear motivation has them looking for another, more stable currency. There is nothing stable about any of the cryptocurrencies. ALL currencies are ultimately "fiat" currencies and there is no getting around that. The only stable currency on the planet is trust in God. All other currencies whether dollar, gold-based, or blockchain-based contain some unknowable measure of volatility. Just watch how the Bitcoin jumps up and down daily and you will know that it is an extremely volatile fiat currency of its own.
Having said that, there is a unique opportunity to make (or lose) a lot of money in short order with these currencies, and God could lead someone into that market—if not you are just gambling. Ironically, the unintended consequence of the cryptocurrency rage has been to long-term stabilize both the dollar (yes, I know it is presently lower) and Wall Street investments, as they are now that which contain the lower volatility when diversified.
Much of the ever-feared bubble has been transposed into the cryptocurrency world. It is a whole new wild-card dynamic that has created another asset base, and its explosive possibilities are exciting. It is generating millions and billions of dollars of value out of essentially thin air, and that too is a dynamic of hope-filled economic atmospheres. Hope literally generates money, and it is the most important economic asset at a macro level. Therefore, when a president regularly tells us that the economy is doing well and is going to do even better, it literally has a stimulant effect.
Wealth Transfer?
A coming "wealth transfer" is talked about a lot in our circles. The Iraqi dinar, a multitude of pyramid schemes, as well as the aforementioned cryptocurrencies are often brought into the conversation as the vehicle for how the wealth transfer is coming. Prophets are often part of these groups or a chief spokesman for it. Unfortunately the recent history of the last 10-15 years has seen very good people and ministries lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in these "sure thing" ventures. So I have a word of wisdom for whomever has an ear to hear. Any investment that is predicated on either a monumental collapse or a monumental recovery—doubt it.
The Iraqi dinar becoming valuable has always required the Muslim world to become stable and that is not happening in the majority of Muslim countries, and thus almost no Muslim currency is ever going to jump 10 or 20 times in value, no matter how much oil or other resource is there. Volatile governments keep a currency volatile, no matter how much resource is there. Likewise, if you are counting on the monumental collapse of the US dollar for your financial bonanza it is not going to happen. God partially put Trump in power to stabilize the US dollar and the US economy, so that the world economy becomes more stable. It is the devil trying to kill the dollar, the US economy, and the world economy—so don't agree with a plan that counts on those dynamics.
The big, missing ingredient I am finding in those who perceive they are called into "significant Kingdom finances" is their lack of present willingness to put their money where their mouth is. I see many aspiring "Kingdom financiers" in reality giving nothing or very little to Kingdom people and projects while constantly speaking of how much they are going to be giving. They explain how they need all their present thousands and millions to get to the next level. I see the ones who God is actually prospering with next-level income are those who already heavily invest in financing Kingdom activity, even as they contend for the greater breakthrough.
Great resources are being released in this season into the house of God, but your stewardship with your first level of breakthrough will determine if you get the ultimate upgrade you were designed to step into. In the same way you analyze stocks and markets to determine investment intelligence, you need to be looking around at all that goes by the name "Christian" and discern what is actually a good Kingdom soil for you to sow into. Many of you will find your future financial harvest determined by your ability to discern what is a God priority for you to sow into now. Future ministers of wealth will not just be gifted in making money but in recognizing the forerunner and front-runner thing that God is saying to sow into.
California
I will need to do a whole post on this, but for now let me just say the onus of God is on California and great, great change is coming to this, the most populous state of the nation. The greatest fire in California history is still burning in an area where many Hollywood superstars have mansions—this after LA experienced its biggest fire ever earlier in the year. The Santa Ana (Holy Grace) winds have blown stronger than ever this year, and from the great Napa fires to many more fires, it has been an unprecedented year all across the state. Related to the "Harvey Weinstein effect" Hollywood is in absolute implosion and reformation, and that will continue and go to a deep enough level that in time it really will be called "Holywood." Great good will be released to the world through that which is called Hollywood as the anointed sons and daughters of the King of kings will begin to bring true creativity accompanied with overwhelming presence into Hollywood. Sooner than we think, we will pinch ourselves in amazement at the world-wide Kingdom advancements through Hollywood.
Great change is also coming to the political spectrum. Sacramento is about to experience major exposures of sin and corruption in so many places that it will cause heads to spin. Millions and perhaps billions of dollars have been being used in ways most the citizenry has had no idea about. Clean up is coming. The gut reflex reaction will be so strong in the state that it will cause an overturning of the entire dominant political party. Neither established party is clean right now, but out of this will come surprising, new, unprecedented political developments that will eventually go nationwide. California, for all its liberal reputation, is the state that led with drawing a line in the sand on the sexual harassment issue, and they are going to again surprise with the new playing field they demand in government. (Photo via Wikipedia)
While many in California and elsewhere are holding out for another "Jesus Movement" God has something much more encompassing in mind than just having a few thousand getting saved and baptized. Reformation is coming and it will be great. It will include revival, but it will be greater than revival and calling it only revival will not be a worthy enough title. Redding and Bethel will have a significant role to play in this, and they will be the volcano from which non-stop fire goes to the rest of the state and nations. I have spoken into that before, but things are about to get Kingdom-exciting up there. We are just a few years away from a totally unrecognizable California, and it is going to be good. There is no doubt that God can say to California as He said to Peter, "Satan has desired to sift you as wheat, BUT I have prayed for you." Jesus has prayed for California and He will be rewarded.
Israel and Jerusalem
I already spoke into this in measure, but just to say again that Israel/Jerusalem is of highest priority of Heaven right now. The recent recognizing of Jerusalem as capital and the subsequent rejection of that by most nations will resonate for a long time. Obadiah 1:15 says "...as you have done to Israel it will be done to you." This will begin to play out in increasingly obvious ways, providing instruction to the nations of the world as to our God's ways. Disrespecting Israel is like disrespecting a mother. God just doesn't sanction it, no matter how imperfect the mother.
Israel, because of God's covenant with Abraham, became our parent for every good thing including the eternal life that came to us through He who was a descendant of Abraham. Without Abraham and Israel there is no Jesus, as Mary and Joseph both were Israelites. So yes, Palestinians are also beloved of God, but their land rights are preceded and super-ceded by Israel's right to the land that God covenanted to Abraham and Israel forever. When that is not respected it is not just a dishonoring of Israel but a dishonoring of God. This is where it is not all just about "love" in general, but about God's big love story. The revealing of that love story is progressive and our part is to discern it, desire to see it, and agree with it.
North Korea
I was recently in South Korea and prophesied that I had seen that "NOW God" was about to intervene and take out Kim Jong-Un. I sensed it so strongly that I honestly felt the NOW would have already taken place. His NOW's always seem to have more elasticity than my NOW's, but I still believe this will happen soon. I believe that President Trump has been anointed to keep pressure on Kim Jong-Un until he breaks one way or the other. It is time for a new "One Korea" that is South Korea based. A "One Korea" will have a major role in the world harvest.
Iran
Whereas Kim Jong-Un is like the reactive, rebellious teenager that lets you know everything he is thinking, Iran and its leadership are more sinister and are long-term dangerous, specifically since they are empowered by a strong anti-semitic and anti-Christ principality. President Trump is also called to circle around them with pressure and more pressure until they too are dealt with. Dealing with Iran is part of the protect and honor Israel assignment that we carry as a nation. There is a great on-fire, underground Church in Iran that is becoming a game changer in that nation. They will eventually flip the nation from goat to sheep nation.
Family Breakthroughs
One of the areas where we will see great breakthroughs in 2018 is in the area of family. Beyond what I can explain, a great grace for family is being made available and we will find family and the mountain of family greatly affected in a positive way. Somehow, the overall climate of conflict is going to be conducive to allowing God in at a new way in relationships. The present new sensitivity to women is a precursor to this, and this whole dynamic will be a treasure to look for in 2018. Many delayed, relational promises will find a happy ending in 2018.
Peace in an Age of Disruption
Though God has placed a "man of war" as President of our nation, and though we are in an age of disruption, it will still be very possible and very advantageous to be people of peace. "Blessed are the peacemakers" will never have a more relevant time. Jesus is still the Prince of Peace for every season and as He promises, His peace is the peace that surpasses understanding. We are entering into an accelerated season of disruption with breakthroughs in areas like artificial intelligence (ai) and virtual reality (vr) starting to be all around game-changers.
It will not always be necessary to understand everything going on, but it will be advisable to always be holding the hand of the One who does. No disruption will outpace His capability to be ten steps ahead. Then the Holy Spirit is Disruptive Technology personified. He is the Spirit of Truth with counsel and wisdom for every potential new scenario. We may often be in "recalculate mode" as our original GPS systems were, but He is the One that always knows what our Global Positioning needs to be.
Without Him we can do NOTHING. But with Him literally ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. This is the faith, hope, and love we are to set ourselves to, and we can anticipate a 2018 of great victories and multiple breakthroughs. He is Lord of Breakthrough and happy is the one who puts his trust in Him. As you do—a great 2018 is secured for you. Set your mind to prosper.

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

Steve Shultz     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.)

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 bodiesIt 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.
ElijahList Prophetic Resources
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
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, 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. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Johnny Enlow: "Rosh Hashanah 5778: A New Hidden Way is Here" - THE ELIJAH LIST Oct 11, 2017

Johnny Enlow: "Rosh Hashanah 5778: A New Hidden Way is Here"


THE ELIJAH LIST Oct 11, 2017

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
The Word of God says that we "know in part and we prophesy in part!"
That is strong truth and the best prophetic voices on the planet, when they write, give you a LOT of each. Truth from what "THEY KNOW IN PART" and then they give you revelation from what they "prophesy in part."
One of the very best prophet-teachers that I know is JOHNNY ENLOW. When I want a sweeping, comprehensive picture of a great deal of controversial questions answered, with a good dose or prophecy included, I look for what JOHNNY ENLOW WRITES.
Please note that when we publish THE PROPHETS on the ELIJAH LIST, we purposely do not look for 100% agreement between the prophets. Probably close to 85% agreement or more. Because we KNOW IN PART, some of what we know gets included, and so you will see prophets with different life experiences, who interpret the same prophetic signs—quite differently.
This is as it SHOULD BE—because there is NEVER only one interpretation about things such as hurricanes, floods, signs and wonders, and so on. To get the best picture, you need to read or listen to many prophetic voices.
OK, that's enough to whet your appetite here. This is lengthy, so grab a cup of coffee and dig in. You are going to understand a great deal more about the times in which we live...by carefully reading this word through Johnny Enlow!

September 21, 2017 marked the beginning of a most remarkable year in the Hebraic Calendar coming on the heels of 5777, one of the most intense and world-shifting years ever. As I reviewed my word for Rosh Hashanah 2016 (on The Elijah List), my first subtitle was "As in the days of Noah: A Time of Rest...and Floods." There I shared of my experience with the unprecedented Atlanta floods of Rosh Hashanah 2009, and how the Lord said this was now going to happen at a national scale and as a spiritual reality. This truly has been the case and we are in a whole new day of Kingdom momentum.
The 8 in 5778 represents a new beginning. The entire decade of 5770-5779 is still all about learning to see, as that is the significance of the 70s window. Now the number 8 is telling us that a new beginning is here. A NEW WAY or door has been birthed.
Since last Rosh Hashanah 5777, we have had the most shocking presidential election result in our history with the effects of that only just beginning to be felt. The United States will be known as "before Trump" and "after Trump" in the future, and it is why there is so much warfare, confusion, resistance and overall stirring up of the spirit realm. Have no doubt about it though, the purposes of the Lord will stand.
We have had the Stock Market skyrocket almost 4,000 points to its highest level ever—over 22,000. Our nation has experienced its greatest flood ever through Hurricane Harvey, right on the heels of the most rare type of total solar eclipse in our nation's history. Most recently through Hurricane Irma, we experienced our biggest and strongest Atlantic Hurricane ever. Hurricane Maria, another huge one, devastated US Territory, Puerto Rico, as well as many Caribbean islands. Great earthquakes struck Mexico. We have had record flooding (California, Louisiana, etc.) and record wild fires all over the land.
Furthermore, we have had more than our share of North Korea, ISIS, media wars and the explosion of "fake news"—and the like. All in all, a hectic year, and none of it means "the end" is near, only the end as we know it. We are really just at a whole new beginning, with new hidden doors and ways.(We will get to that.)
Now then to top it off, we have the usual cast of "prophecy experts" interpreting a purported, rare alignment of stars in the constellations as proof that on Sept. 23, either "The Rapture" was taking place or "The Great Tribulation" was beginning—or something cataclysmic. I have covered many of these things in previous posts or podcasts. Truly a challenging year for Believers as we attempt to navigate through our own version of "fake news" or in some cases just "unanointed seeing".
"This 'Jesus Movement' will spearhead not just revival, but reformation and the ensuing renaissance it leads to."
As I have shared before, the 10 spies were not really guilty of direct "fake news" on the Promised Land. They actually saw the things they said they saw. What made it "fake news" was it was "unanointed seeing." They judged reality by the giants they saw and not by the fruit of the land. Caleb, on the other hand, was an anointed observer and highlighted what God desired to be highlighted, thus making it REAL news.
So today again, what is really going on? What is the true Kingdom outlook? Who are the real prophetic voices? These are all among the great questions of our day, and you discerning them correctly will essentially determine the extent of your "Kingdom footprint." It is quite easy to blame the confusion of the day we live in for our challenges, but the challenges are designed to confirm and promote truth seekers, thus unleashing a band of Kingdom "super heroes"—such as the world has never seen.
"He Will March in the Whirlwinds of the South" Zechariah 9:14
Zechariah 9:14 says, "Then the Lord will appear over them; His arrow will flash like lightning. The Sovereign Lord will sound the trump; He will march in the whirlwinds (hurricanes) of the south."
I believe that there are several Zechariah 9 passages that have an application at this time and especially so for the United States. This does not mean this is the original application for Zechariah 9, but by the Holy Spirit we can find new fulfillments of Scriptures that aren't just meant to die when they have an initial applicable fulfillment.
Zech. 9:9 tells us to "Rejoice" and "Shout" because our King comes TO us (as opposed to FOR us, as many are presently holding out for Him to do). It then speaks of our King bringing justice and salvation, being gentle and riding on a donkey. This is a direct allusion to Jesus and Him ultimately making a "triumphant entry" unexpectedly on a donkey (Matt. 21). I believe there is a repeat message for us today. He is riding in, through an unexpected way—but He is presenting Himself as gentle, humble, and justice-minded and coming with salvation.
Zechariah 9:12 tells us, "Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you."
I believe this is a powerful message He is speaking to us today, and He is challenging us not to just have "positive thinking" but also to make ourselves "prisoners of hope"—essentially throwing away the key of escape from that "hope fortress." True hope is the assurance that He will be good to us—especially as it relates to His promises to us. If it isn't good, it just isn't done. It is in that context that verse 14 tells us how He is coming for prisoners of hope. It does not say that He was or is the hurricanes, but that He marches in on it. This is important so that we don't ascribe to God that which is not His doing. (Photo via Pixabay)
As we break down verse 14, we want to first note that it says that "the Lord will appear over them" and that He is called "the Sovereign Lord." He didn't send the storms but He is over them and still sovereign in the midst of them. If that is hard to digest just remember that is how He is regarding you. You have free will, but He is over you and He is Sovereign Lord.
Two descriptions of the Lord's activity are of significant interest. He will "flash like lightning" and He will "sound the trump." If you look up the word "lightning" you will see it is the Hebrew word "Barak." Then we see He will sound the trump (Trump). Quite some coincidence, huh? As He comes in sovereignly, He is flashing Barak (Barack) and sounding Trump! This is in the Scripture back-to-back and in the proper sequence. I know many of you believe Trump was chosen by God but not Barack. I also know many of you think the other way around. I want to suggest He has had purposes for both, and neither was just His "permissible" will—though the intentionality of Trump as president is a unique intervention of God in human history.
To ensure we don't connect this coming TO us of the Lord as a negative judgment, verse 15 then says, "and the Lord God will SHIELD them." Though we have felt exposed with all the hurricane hits, I truly believe that He has shielded us from severe loss of human life. It is almost unbelievable in light of the devastation of these mega hurricanes how relatively few lives have been lost. The storms and floods in all the states, cities, and territories combined, caused less deaths than what the normal death toll of those places would have been through abortions alone. (Still of course, our hearts go out to all who lost family or friends and any kind of loss by reason of the hurricanes.)
The last 3 verses of Zech. 9 are then wonderful promises of how the Lord will save and beautify His people, as we "overcome with slingstones"—connecting us clearly to a courageous, heart of David reality He will work with. This is a time for the "super heroes" to arise to face down the Goliaths of our day. Goliaths showing up doesn't make it a bad day—just a day for life-altering changes. (Perhaps for more on that refer to my recent book, "Becoming a Superhero: A Pocket Guide to a Life Like David".)
Hurricanes That Prophesy: Harvey, Irma, Maria and Jose
As creation itself groans and travails with birth pains and longing to see the revealing of the sons and daughters of God (Rom. 8), I believe that there is a message to be extracted from the four big storms/hurricanes of this past month. Four great hurricanes made themselves known to the United States over a very short period preceding the spiritually important days, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
• HARVEY (Harvest Anointing, Finances and Glory)
Previously, I have already shared how I believed that Harvey was foretelling a great harvest that will soon, so relentlessly flood us, that it will be the news of the day. Harvey was hailed as a rare "once in every 1000 year flood" with the much reported "50 inches" of precipitation being mentioned. 50 is the number of Jubilee, but it is also a number that speaks of the Holy Spirit, as it was 50 days after Calvary that the Holy Spirit broke out in the book of Acts. The word "Pentecost" in fact means "50 days."
I've also shared how I was shown at AzusaNow last year that a very great angel named Harvey (for Harvest Glory) was released to bring game-changer results in various ways. This hurricane further foretold this great angel's release. The name Harvey means "battle worthy." This angel has perfect understanding of the warring atmosphere he is coming into, and he is ready to function in a "war zone." He will be used to empower ministries such as Joel Osteen's from Houston, but his assignment is much beyond that, as it will affect global matters in both ministerial and financial matters.
We don't pray to Harvey, nor get overly distracted by Harvey, but we are to know that a major Kingdom asset has been released at a new level. Harvest anointing, finances and glory are going to rain until it is the news of the day. This, the first of the mega hurricanes of 2017, made landfall through Corpus Christi, which means "the Body of Christ." This means it is the focal point for Heaven's intervention, as well as the gateway that allows both life and destruction to be released into society. The gateway of the Body of Christ has been releasing both blessings, as well as some things that are not such a blessing. (Photo via Wikipedia)
• IRMA (Mighty Women Released)
Over ten years ago, prophet Bob Jones had a visitation from what he assumed were angels, but they called themselves "beings." They announced themselves as "beings" that hadn't been around since 1936. One heavenly being was named Charley and the other was named Irma. Charley means "manly and courageous." The greater story was about Irma.
When he first saw Irma, Bob said that she was very short and thin and about 3 feet tall. When he saw her again, she was now normal height and was also carrying a loaf of hot bread. Bob shared how he was shown that Irma, being 3 feet tall, had to do with how women in leadership were being viewed in the Body of Christ, but that a great change was coming where women would be seen at the height they were supposed to be seen at. 
The hot bread represented the great teaching and revelation that would now come to the Body through an expanded appreciation of God through women. Charley told Bob that, "They would return"—and Irma's coming was associated with a powerful release on women.
What is very interesting is that Irma showed up as essentially the most powerful Atlantic hurricane in history and then made landfall in southwest Florida. The Weather Channel noted that it was following the basic path of Hurricane Charley from years ago. It is quite remarkable that Bob Jones saw these two heavenly beings years ago with names that would be given to two powerful hurricanes, and that these two hurricanes would come into the USA through Florida. Irma means "sister" in Portuguese and Florida means "blossoming" in Spanish.
It is time for the "sisters" to blossom into all the full-stature greatness God has called them into. It is also of great interest that perhaps the most gifted, anointed woman of the last hundred years (if not in our nation's history) was Aimee Semple McPherson, who was at the height of her influence leading up to 1936, and was regularly referred to as "sister." Despite unimaginable enemies both within and without the Church, she turned Hollywood and Los Angeles, as well as the whole nation, upside down.
ElijahList Prophetic Resources
Her popularity equaled or surpassed that of the presidents, Babe Ruth, Knute Rockne, and all Hollywood actors and actresses. Her reach and impact was much more than a cursory study of history will tell you, and it extended into every area of society. There is a significant part of her approach that must be recovered, because she brought God to the front stages, platforms, and media outlets of the world—and she did it in a distinctly feminine and creative way, yet full of the Holy Spirit and power.
As I am writing this word, I am flying back to Los Angeles from Cuba, where God did some destiny-defining things for that battered and beleaguered island nation. Hurricane Irma pounded Cuba for hours, severely damaging over 200,000 homes in an already desperately poor nation, before coming across into Florida. Even as I was leaving Cuba, I heard in the spirit that a forthcoming counter "revolution" in Cuba is going to be spearheaded by women who are not going to be silent anymore. They will demand a new reality for their nation. I see a great uprising of women saying NO MAS or no more, as they not only reject the failed socialism of their land, but also the failed machismo that has also ruled through that "revolution."
"A NEW WAY or door has been birthed."
I was profoundly touched as my taxi driver to the Havana airport began weeping profusely and unashamedly for the last thirty minutes of our ride, telling of life in Cuba and saying, "We just can't take it much longer. We used to be able to joke about life here, but it is now too painful to do even that." Even as Irma hit Cuba as a most powerful CAT 5 Hurricane, I believe winds are gathering to unleash the voice of powerful women into that nation. 
I met with a few hundred ministers while in Cuba, and I was able to prophesy to them that a very great angel of transformation had just been released over Cuba, and that he has been assigned to pull Cuba through an intense 7-year period where she would become a "sheep nation." Cuba will be a diadem in His crown.
• MARIA (Harvesting Bitter Words)
Maria was another CAT 5 monster storm that did most of its damage in the Caribbean, specifically devastating US Territory, Puerto Rico. Power grid disruptions are expected to go on an incredible 4 to 6 months. Maria then came into Florida bringing record flooding as far up as Jacksonville and Charleston, South Carolina, also bringing the first Tropical Storm warning ever into Atlanta, Georgia.
I think part of Maria's message is the same as Irma's, as the first four letters of each are the same but only in different order. Furthermore, it is a Spanish name and that speaks especially to the Hispanic population, as I mentioned regarding Cuba. But I also believe there is additional revelation. Among the definitions of Maria is "bitterness" or "sea of bitterness"—as well as "obstinacy."
I have released recent words stating how we, as the Body, must arise as ministers of reconciliation to cancel the extreme vitriol that is in the air at this time. Life and death is truly in the power of the tongue and our "global emissions" of unrestrained inflamed opinions has to be tempered. If we understand the micro, tiny "quantum world" everything is connected and nothing truly happens in a vacuum. 

When we, as the Body of Christ, seed the second heavens with quarrelsome and racially insensitive/divisive conversation, it at some point can become the fuel for disasters and tragedies that look like judgments. I shared before how I believe part of the fuel for Harvey's stalled system over the Gulf of Mexico was the Gulf WITH Mexico. There are consequences when the Church doesn't release the antidote for that which Leviathan/Apollyon is spewing through his media assault.
I am now writing this part two days after the horrific Vegas shooting, where the other big news of the day was that Tom Petty suddenly died of an apparent heart attack. Only as a prophetic message and not intended to impugn the famous rocker, it was Elizabeth who noted that it was time for "petty things" to die. Again, I liked Tom Petty and his music, but there is, I believe, a message from the timing of his passing on. Though his big hit "I won't back down" had a catchy appeal to it, it is time to "back down" from some of our "obstinacy" and inflammatory rhetoric.
I think we keep misreading what God is okay with. Yes, He put one (Trump) called to surface things, through his direct language, into the White House, yet his assignment is not our assignment. We need to stop singing the "I won't back down" song as it is holding on to petty grievances that build up and have consequences. We are fueling the political spirit and a spirit of racism by our refusal to embrace the love model of 1 Corinthians 13 in our interactive dynamics. Engaging in the 7 mountains is NOT about embracing the political spirit, which is a demon and already operates in the mountain of government; but it's about bringing Kingdom presence and solutions into a much needed sphere of society. Christian activism is only good if it is representative of Christ.
• JOSE (Economic Addition Coming)
Jose was a very unique hurricane that also grew into a CAT 5 hurricane, and then just hung off the eastern coast of the United States seemingly forever, as it meandered in and out of coastal areas. From start to finish it existed for almost one full month. New York City received two days of wind and rain from Jose's band of showers. Jose, which means Joseph, "stalked" and washed the financial epicenter of the United States. I see a prophetic message in a Joseph wind and rain coming to affect Wall Street in a positive way. Joseph means "The Lord will add" and I do think that will be the end reality for Wall Street and our economic engine. Additionally, the "Josephs" who have been refined and prepared for such a time as this, will find their winds of favor overtaking lesser winds of resistance.
• JOSE AND MARIA (Another Jesus Movement)
I have to make a separate heading for the effect of Jose and Maria together. So ironic or not, Jose (Joseph) and Maria (Mary) closed out the category 5 hurricane season, ultimately coming together. Even as Joseph and Mary brought in the original "Jesus Movement" of the whole world, I believe these last storms are announcing the birthing of another "Jesus Movement." This "Jesus Movement" will spearhead not just revival, but reformation and the ensuing renaissance it leads to. This is why finances as well as spiritual dynamics are both being greatly affected. It is going to take resources to bring the Kingdom into society in a reforming and transforming way, and that will now accelerate.
Maria landed on Puerto Rico which means "Rich Port" (or door or gate). Maria speaks of an existing "sea of bitterness—but as in New Testament days, it was Maria (Mary) who said yes to carrying and birthing Jesus. Puerto Rico was already becoming a failed territory/state with 45% poverty and over 300,000 leaving the island for the US mainland in the last 6 years. Additionally, 80% of the infrastructure was in need not just of repair, but of overhaul.
Puerto Rico will now be overhauled with new infrastructure and building codes that will better storm-proof the territory and be a model for other island nations. The island remarkably has one-third of the people who are Charismatic/Pentecostal and a very high percentage of Believers. They were devastated and decimated, but they will experience an Isaiah 61 rebuilding that will, at last, have them truly represent their name. These storms have all been prophesying various pieces of a master puzzle that must be through the Holy Spirit, put together, to receive the instruction we are to receive at this important time of our history.
Final Word on the Hurricanes:
(Slave Trade Routes and "the Earth Disclosing Its Blood")
In a previous word, I also suggested witchcraft could have a role with the hurricanes and their destructive element. For more than 15 years, I have studied and observed the relationship between Atlantic hurricanes, witchcraft, and the slave trade routes. All the above mentioned hurricanes were formed off Cape Verde in West Africa. I have known for years that witchdoctors released essentially payback through the hurricanes that would cross the Atlantic on the same routes as the slave trade—that may have seen upwards of 10 million slaves thrown overboard. That is a lot of spilt blood. Curses do not alight without a cause. I am also aware that Cuba is the stronghold for the Santeria witchcraft that exists in virtually all Caribbean nations and islands.
Santeria began over 500 years by the slaves that were brought to the Caribbean by the Europeans. Yes, blacks were heavily involved in the front end of the slave trade in Africa as a form of decimating a conquered tribe, but it was the white European settlers and seamen that brought the slaves over. Santeria was, in essence, the religious cover for the slaves and their original Yoruba witchcraft that allowed them to exercise a "religion" with Catholic overtones. It was not so much a syncretism that valued Catholicism, but rather a survival strategy to allow them to continue to practice an original witchcraft.
Christopher Columbus was the first European to bring slavery to the Caribbean. In his writings, he also details the first reported hurricane in the Caribbean's history while he was at the Hispaniola island that holds Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It is not conclusive that there were no hurricanes before slavery, but there is also no proof that there were Atlantic hurricanes before slavery. It is something to consider. Is. 26:21 talks about the earth "disclosing its blood" and it being judgment. We and many others had done reconciliatory intercession back in the time of Katrina and the other great hurricanes (Wilma, Rita, etc.). For 12 years we have had no significant hurricanes hit us.
I think perhaps we regressed in the last couple of years with the racial animosity fomented, not just between black and white but also with the Hispanics. We really haven't regressed on racial matters, it is just that the next generation (black, white, Hispanic, etc.) is so ready for race to be a non-issue that they are finding any remnants of it that exists and demanding that it be done with forever. While they are doing so, it is exposing remnants in the previous generation and this has inflamed the rhetoric. There is a good and a bad to it all.
Hurricane Authority?
On a recent post, I also stated that I didn't really think we showed much authority over the hurricanes, though many insisted we did. I applaud us trying and there is no shame for anyone for attempting to take authority. We have to do this. However, gaining authority is something we step into as we resolve the justice or sin matters that are relevant. In Matt. 28:18, Jesus announced that He now had "all authority in Heaven and earth." Earlier in chapter 4, during the temptation of Jesus, satan had bragged of the authority that he (satan) had ("bow down and I will give you"). Jesus couldn't just claim authority because of His superior might, but had to atone with His own Blood the sin/justice matters. Then He had "all authority."  
Today we can take advantage of what Jesus did on the Cross by inviting Him into every sin matter to forgive and justify. However, just like in personal salvation, it is not automatic unless He is invited in. In other words, we are not just learning to exercise authority, we are learning to reconcile.
I do see amazing grace in that the loss of human life was unbelievably low for such devastating winds and rains, yet there were still around 200 deaths from the above mentioned storms. At last report, Harvey's toll was 77 deaths, but with an astronomical 150-180-billion-dollar rebuilding tag (Katrina was 120 B). Irma, which many claim we stopped in some way, killed 88 and caused damages of 55 billion dollars, which is still one of the most damaging hurricanes ever. That is not really stopping it. Furthermore, it devastated Cuba for days as a category 5 hurricane that totally destroyed over 10,000 homes and severely damaged 200,000 homes per a United Nations report. Cuba is 15% born again Christian, so our brothers and sisters were heavily hit. I heard and saw the stories of devastation when I was just there.
We can't really claim much victory with Maria, as she pummeled Dominica, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, perhaps into third world status—unless and until we help rebuild. Between the storms, they caused over a staggering 300 billion dollars in damage. If we claim that was successfully exercising "spiritual authority" it is going to inhibit us even acknowledging we need to consider the legal sin/justice matters.
Let's advance not just with courage, but with wisdom and understanding. I believe a lack of complete reconciliation on past race/slavery matters combined with non-reconciliatory rhetoric across racial lines in the Body has our "walls" down, even while many look to a natural border wall to make us feel safe. Authority over storms can come back to us, I believe easily, with a little humility and with a little racial reconciliation effort between us. That always starts with "let each esteem the other better than themselves" as opposed to finger pointing.
Who Will Rebuild?
I also just read a report that said we are in an extreme shortage of manpower to do the monumental rebuilding task brought on because of these hurricanes. We are in need of hundreds of thousands of builders, roofers, painters, landscapers, carpenters, remodelers, etc. for the 300 billion dollar rebuild tag that we now have. Where are they going to come from?
We already are at historically low unemployment rates, so we just don't even have the manpower for this. At some point, someone is going to figure out that we need a multitude of the very Hispanics that we are trying to deport or impede from coming into America, ironically "to save American jobs." This might be a good place to embrace some humility that could improve racial relations.
The Wall Trump is Anointed to Build
I do believe that President Trump is a "Nehemiah" for America and he has a wall to build. However, I believe the wall he is called to build is much more significant than a border wall. As we have just seen with our Hurricanes, Charlottesville, Las Vegas, etc., we are vulnerable in a way that a border wall will not help.
"The Wall" President Trump is called to build is a strong economy, a strong military, and a strong dependence on God to "bless America." He is doing those last three, and there are great enemy forces rising up such as in Nehemiah's day.
There is a "Sanballat and Tobiah" spirit that is extremely angry that Trump is seeking to make America great again (Neh. 2:10). As Neh. 6:5-13 shows, Nehemiah had to battle false reports and false prophets just like President Trump is having to do today. "Fake news" and "fake end times reports" are abounding, but they are all just that. They are distractions. Sanballat means "enemy in secret."
President Trump is battling secret agendas that are progressively being exposed as "draining the swamp" continues to unveil. As he continues to discover that which he was anointed to do, we, as the Body of Christ, need to stick to foundational Christian love, as that affords our nation its strongest wall of protection. There is common sense of border protection, but we are in no way impenetrable should we get a natural wall. The Lord still must be our Wall for true safety.
The New Hidden Way
I believe that the NEW WAY that has opened up for us in 5778 is a HIDDEN WAY. There are hidden or secret doors to this new way. I believe many are about to experience surprising developments as the Lord, in essence, shocks us by showing us new doors and new ways to do what we are called to do. The hidden doors are often low doors but they lead to great new open destiny fields. We have to go lower to go higher. These "low doors" are embracing humble and reconciliatory positions. We do have to "back down" in many instances—not from the enemy, but from high-minded positions of strength and self-confidence. The secret doors have several contexts to them, but there being "a new way" is going to be a theme of the year.
I have also seen that many are going to be surprisingly led by the Lord to new spheres or mountains of operation, as God is cleverly outwitting the enemy. Many are about to step into opportunities that are clearly God, but they weren't prophesied over you, nor did you prepare for them. They just divinely opened up. This allows you to step into a place where the enemy has not planned a disruption against you moving forward, and his lack of legitimate opposition is going to allow you to spiritually achieve great things.
The enemy has overplayed his hand all across the board and God is going to "trump" him not just with a president, but with His people in every area of society. The enemy is going to be thinking he holds the high cards and that he knows all the options against him, but he is then going to be shocked at who and how God trumps him in hand after hand. Breakout and breakaway revival, as well as reformation leading to a wholesale renaissance, is about to be our present day reality, as we find the new hidden way guarded by the new hidden doors.
He is calling us UP, but the way there is going to often be hidden. You won't miss your door if you embrace humility. 
Women are going to be key doors. Minorities are going to be key doors. People different than us are going to be key doors. Weak, small, foolish things are going to access key doors. 
The Kingdom of God is like a treasure hid in the field and these great treasures are going to be discovered. The Kingdom of God on earth is about to be the observable big story of our day. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
