"A Banner Year of Increase and Advancement" - Kyle T. Miller THE ELIJAH LIST

Kyle T. Miller: "A Banner Year of Increase and Advancement"


THE ELIJAH LIST  Feb 2, 2016

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
I found this word to be very encouraging, both because of what is to come in the near future...but also because of God's instruction to us.
We are to live in JOY, no matter what we see, and this will draw the unsaved to us!
Check out this by Kyle Miller:

"God told me to share with you that we are to start asking Him to unveil riches that have been hidden from us until such a time as this. We will hear about people accessing land with oil on it, gems hidden in areas in that were not known to have jewels, and other natural resources that people will find this year by following the voice of His Spirit."
Now go ahead and let the rest of this word encourage you as it did for me!

A Banner Year
This is going to be a banner year. For those people who are in tune with the Spirit of God, it's going to be a year of increase and advancement. However, we will not be able to make this advancement in the flesh. We will only be able to move forward by receiving supernatural empowerment from the Holy Spirit. In this article I will share what I feel the Lord has told me that we can expect in this year, along with how we can walk supernaturally in the Holy Spirit.
Hidden Riches in Secret Places
For the world, the year of 2016 will be a year of uncertainty. From the world's standards, the economy will be up and down all year long. At times it will seem as though things are going well in the economy, and yet at other times it will seem as though the economy is headed for disaster.
The Lord told me that much of this up-and-down cycle in the economy will be a façade created by the enemy to set people on edge and cause people to get in fear. 
The Lord said that much of this is smoke and mirrors. That at the very root of the economy, God is shifting things out of the hands of wicked people, and giving His people the opportunity to access hidden riches in secret places. 
God told me to share with you that we are to start asking Him to unveil riches that have been hidden from us until such a time as this. We will hear about people accessing land with oil on it, gems hidden in areas in that were not known to have jewels, and other natural resources that people will find this year by following the voice of His Spirit.
The Enemy Will Seek to Make People Weak, But the Joy of the Lord Will Be Our Strength
Until September 2016, there will be many challenges the world will experience. The Lord said the enemy will seek to use these challenges to try and hinder the growth of His people. In contrast, God will use these challenges to draw His people in to Him.
As we are challenged to feel overwhelmed, we can ask Him to in-fill us with His joy, and this joy will give us supernatural strength. Those of us who receive this supernatural joy will find ourselves empowered, while others will feel weary and fearful. This contrast between us and the world (along with Christians who are not hooked up with His anointing) will be used by God to draw people to His light.

The Lord emphasized to me that we, the Church, should not use the media as a barometer to determine what He is doing because much of what will be portrayed in the media will be lies. 
e will not be able to watch cable and local news to fully interpret what God is doing because the mainstream media will often be used by satan as a tool to instill fear in people.God said, "I will show you what is to come. You can trust My Spirit to speak to you."
Finally, the Lord says it is absolutely critical that we receive His joy because He wants to use us to draw people to Him. When the world sees us operating in supernatural joy when everyone else is running helter-skelter, this will cause them to be drawn to the light of Christ that is residing within us. This takes me to the next point the Lord told me about.
Many of God's People Will Be Promoted to New Levels of Authority
As God's people walk in His supernatural joy this year, the world will be drawn to our light. Just as David was brought into the King's palace to comfort Saul, God's people will be promoted to levels of authority because leaders will recognize that they are comforted by the presence of God that is residing within us. Because we are filled with the joy of the Lord, we will be desirable to the world. People will literally feel better when we are around.(Photo via Freeimages)
Many of Our Unsaved Loved Ones Will Come to Christ
Just as the world will be drawn to our light, so shall our unsaved loved ones be drawn to the Spirit of God that is residing within us. The Lord told me that our unsaved loved ones will get saved "in droves" this year.
Things Will Begin to Smooth Out the Last Quarter of 2016
Things will begin to smooth out around September of 2016. For His Believers, the Lord wants us to use this season to catch our breath, get refilled, and experience restoration of lost things. God is going to cause us to recover things that were stolen from us in the last season.

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’ - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Posted: 01 Dec 2015 Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG


One of the most important banks in the western world says that the 7th largest economy on the entire planet has entered a full-blown economic depression.  Brazil’s economy has now contracted for three quarters in a row, and many analysts believe that things are going to get far worse before they have a chance to get any better.  Earlier this year, I warned about “the South American financial crisis of 2015“, and now it is in full swing.

The surging U.S. dollar is absolutely crushing emerging markets such as Brazil, and if the Fed raises interest rates this month that is going to make the pain even worse.  The global financial system is more interconnected than ever before, and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve truly do have global consequences.  So much of the “hot money” that was created by the Fed poured into emerging markets such as Brazil during the good times, but now the process is starting to reverse itself.  At this point, it is hard to see how much of South America is going to avoid a complete and total economic disaster.

It is one thing for Michael Snyder from the Economic Collapse Blog to say that the Brazilian economy has entered a “depression”, but it is another thing entirely when Goldman Sachs comes out and publicly says it.  The following comes from a Bloomberg article that was just posted entitled “Goldman Warns of Brazil Depression After GDP Plunges Again“…
Latin America’s largest economy shrank more than analysts forecast, as rising unemployment and higher inflation sapped domestic demand, pulling the nation deeper into what Goldman Sachs now calls “an outright depression.”
Gross domestic product in Brazil contracted 1.7 percent in the three months ended in September, after a revised2.1 percent drop the previous quarter, the national statistics institute said in Rio de Janeiro. That’s worse than all but three estimates from 44 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, whose median forecast was for a 1.2 percent decline. It also marks the first three-quarter contraction since the institute’s series began in 1996, and a seasonally adjusted annual drop of 6.7 percent.
And when you look deeper into the numbers they become even more disturbing.

Unemployment is rising, consumer spending is way down, and investment spending is absolutely collapsing.  Here is some of the data that Goldman Sachs just released that comes via Zero Hedge
Private consumption has now declined for three consecutive quarters (at an average quarterly rate of -8.5% qoq sa, annualized), and investment spending for nine consecutive quarters (at an average rate of -10.0% qoq sa, annualized). Overall, gross fixed investment declined by a cumulative 21% from 2Q2013. The declining capital stock of the economy (declining capital-labor ratio) hurts productivity growth and limits even further potential GDP. The sharp contraction of real activity during 3Q was broad-based: both on the supply and final demand side. Final domestic demand weakened sharply during 3Q2015 (-1.7% qoq sa and -6.0% yoy) with private consumption down 1.5% qoq sa (-4.5% yoy) and gross fixed investment down 4.0% qoq sa (-15.0% yoy). Finally, on the supply side, we highlight that the large labor intensive services sector retrenched again at the margin (-1.0% qoq sa; -2.9% yoy).
The term “economic depression” is not something that should be used lightly, because it conjures up images of the Great Depression of the 1930s.  And the Brazilian economy is very important to the global economic system.  As I mentioned above, there are only six countries in the entire world that have a larger economy, and Brazil accounts for more than 242 billion dollars worth of exports every year.

So if Brazil is feeling pain, it is going to affect all of us.

Up to this point, everyone had been calling what has been going on in Brazil a “recession”, but now Goldman Sachs is the first major bank to label it “an outright economic depression”
“What started as a recession driven by the adjustment needs of an economy that accumulated large macro imbalances is now mutating into an outright economic depression given the deep contraction of domestic demand,” Alberto Ramos, chief Latin America economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., wrote in a report Tuesday.
Of course Brazil is far from alone.  The third largest economy on the globe, Japan, has also now slipped into recession territory.  So has Russia.  And just today we learned that Canadian GDP is plunging
Who could have seen that coming? It appears, for America’s northern brethren, low oil prices are unequivocally terrible. Against expectations of a flat 0.0% unchanged September, Canadian GDP plunged 0.5% – its largest MoM drop since March 2009 and the biggest miss since Dec 2008.
It is just a matter of time before this global economic downturn catches up with us here in the U.S. too.
In fact, there is evidence that this is already happening.

According to brand new numbers that just came out, manufacturing activity in the U.S. is contracting at the fastest pace that we have seen since the last recession
Manufacturing in the U.S. unexpectedly contracted in November at the fastest pace since the last recession as elevated inventories led to cutbacks in orders and production.
The Institute for Supply Management’s index dropped to 48.6, the lowest level since June 2009, from 50.1 in October, a report from the Tempe, Arizona-based group showed Tuesday. The November figure was weaker than the most pessimistic forecast in a Bloomberg survey. Readings less than 50 indicate contraction.
Another indicator that I am watching is the velocity of money.

When an economy is healthy, money tends to flow fairly freely.  I buy something from you, and then you buy something from someone else, etc.

But when economic conditions start to get tough, people start to hold on to their money.  That means that money doesn’t change hands as quickly and the velocity of money goes down.  As you can see below, the velocity of money has declined during every single recession since 1960…

Velocity Of Money M2

When a recession ends, the velocity of money normally starts going back up.

But a funny thing happened when the last recession ended.  The velocity of money ticked up slightly, but then it started going down steadily.  In fact, it has kept on declining ever since and it has now hit a brand new all-time record low.

This is not normal.  Yes, Wall Street is temporarily flying high for the moment, but the underlying economic fundamentals are all screaming that something is horribly wrong.

A global crisis has begun, and the U.S. will not be immune from it.  I truly believe that we are heading toward the worst economic downturn that any of us have ever experienced.

But there are many out there that insist that nothing is the matter and that happy times are ahead.
So who is right and who is wrong?

We will just have to wait and see…
