Standing in support of Israel, Jews, and believers in all the nations, in the name of Jesus (Yeshua). Sharing biblical truth, encouragement, news and prophecy.
Rabbi Tuly Weisz, director of Israel365 and editor of TheIsrael Bible, issues the following statement in response to a report recently released by Crossway that surveyed the Bible study habits of 6,000 American Christians:
"Christians today more than ever seek to uncover the Jewish roots of their Bible and their faith. The recent survey by Crossway is fascinating because it shows that Christians study Genesis and Psalms as much as, if not more than, they study Matthew or other books of the New Testament.
"Christianity grew out of Judaism, and Jesus and his Apostles were Jewish. As such, the study of the Tanakh—the Jewish Bible—is not only logical but appropriate for Christians who want to learn from the Bible that Jesus studied.
"Some aspects of the Bible address the past, while others focus on the prophetic future. Crossway also found that Christians find it most difficult to study The Prophets. The new Israel Bible, published jointly by Menorah Books and Israel365, addresses these issues by providing hundreds of study notes, maps, charts and the translation and transliteration of the Hebrew text.
"Forward-looking books of the Bible are harder to comprehend. But the diligent study of the Hebrew Prophets is an important ingredient in understanding what is to come in the period of redemption. The insights of the Prophets can also offer us wise counsel on how to live our lives today, and a greater appreciation of the happenings in the Land of Israel."

Prophecy: Your Extensive Spiritual Warfare Is About to Become Your Increase
08.20.17NATE JOHNSTON CHARISMA NEWS
If you have been through an extensive season of warfare, especially in the last nine months, as the Hebrew year 5777 brought about a clashing of kingdoms and an increased tension between your barren place and your promise, you will now find starting this month—the warfare begins to convert into your increase and advancement.
This is where it pays off! This is far from just a feel-good word but more of a kairos word burning hot in my spirit. I feel like I have been birthing this deep in my belly for weeks now, and I pray it unleashes encouragement, strength and life back to you—shifting your eyes off the storm and back onto the Promised Land in front of you.
The Enemy Caught Out
Recently, through a series of dreams, God began showing me the significance of this season and why it feels like all of hell has been dispatched to bring every believer down. I hear it every day, not to mention that we have experienced more warfare this year than ever before. This tells me that there is something valuable the enemy doesn't want us accessing.
In one dream, I saw the body of Christ backed into a corner with many dark and evil voices of slander and opposition ridiculing and mocking her; kicking, cursing and accusing her. It was as if the sole focus of the enemy was to intimidate and bully the church into a defenseless position until she ran out of energy, hope and vision. But suddenly, I heard an almighty, loud sound of, "No more! No more! No more!" This sound resounded until the body rose up and fought back, and the enemy shrieked and ran in terror. She then stood up and opened a door that said "destiny" upon it.
This speaks volumes to me about the season we are in as the body of Christ. Once bullied and intimidated into the corner, feeling weak and powerless, we suddenly were rising up, overcoming and defeating the obstacles that the enemy placed before us.
This is truly a season of discovering the power and authority we possess and beginning to take dominion in the earth; seizing back the mountains of influence for the kingdom and awakening the earth to the sound of triumph and freedom.
In another dream, a man came to my door trying to steal my mail. He was madly racing around my house in an attempt to break in and steal my mail, trying to take "an invitation" he thought I wasn't meant to open. The next day, the Lord said to me that the enemy is trying to intercept the invitation that will release people into their breakthrough and promise. He is doing anything he can to distract people in one area so he can enter through another route into our lives that we didn't expect, to rob us from the promise. I say no more to you being robbed, and that repayment begins now!
"But if he is found, he will restore sevenfold; he will give all the substance of his house" (Prov. 6:31).
As Fuel for the Fire
For over two years now, our youngest daughter, Sophie, has been constantly facing a specific health issue that has found us in the ER many times and for multiple days at a time. It would always happen at times we were experiencing breakthrough or we could sense that we were about to. Recently, one early morning, Sophie was yet again in the ER for these same issues (that we have actually seen miraculously healed in services we have been in).
So here we were with her, surrounded by a few doctors discussing the situation, but despite the negative tones and the facts of what they were saying, something in my spirit said, "No, this is a violation!" I felt like I had just had enough from being ripped off. I got up and began praying in the spirit when suddenly this Scripture came to me.
"For all the sandals of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire" (Isa. 9:5).
Something happened in that moment I won't forget, like an out-of-body experience, almost celebrating the soon to come victory. It was like I could taste it! When you have been through the fire enough, you begin to learn that victory always follows—every time. Sure enough, God turned the situation around, and the doctors were confused by her rapid recovery. It reminded me of the Scripture: "And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the cross" (Col. 2:15).
When God fights for you and shuts down the enemy's plans, it becomes a public spectacle. It becomes a beacon to the world that you have something different about you, or rather living inside of you. If you haven't experienced breakthrough, don't feel condemned. Just know that God is changing your win-history, and it's about time that you see every dark and crushing moment of your life become fuel for the fire—and converted into blessing.
I prophesy that you are about to see the enemy caught out in many areas he has been stealing from you, and I prophesy that you will step into a new arena of breakthrough and victory that you didn't have before in Jesus' name!
This Is Your 'No More' Moment!
Maybe like Joseph you have felt like your life has been a constant string of unjust situations, and maybe right now you still feel imprisoned. You need to know that nothing goes to waste. Like Joseph said in this passage as he was upgraded to the second in charge of Egypt: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many lives" (Gen. 50:20).
I see the enemy being caught out in your life where you have been delayed and diverted, sideswiped and paralyzed. I prophesy that this is a time of repayment for every area you have been robbed and harassed. You will experience a seven-fold return for every attack sent to your doorstep.
Every place of harm the enemy brought to your home, your spouse, children and extended family, every bondage and stronghold he latched to your family line that wreaked havoc, and every inch of death and sorrow he inflicted upon you—is being broken right now!
You are a dangerous weapon in God's hand, and right now there is a sound of awakening ringing around the earth. The enemy is going to wish he didn't mess with you because of the unrelenting and unstoppable fire that is released everywhere you go, disrupting systems of chaos and captivity in your wake. The floodgates are now open and it's a time of recompense and vindication for what was stolen. Can you hear the sound of awakening?
This is your no more moment. Your moment to make a declaration and prayer—that no more will you be a slave and pawn to the enemy. No more will you live under the weight and control of a demonic master, and no more will you allow anyone but Jesus to influence your heart again. I invite you to pray to Jesus right now and ask that He would remove every yoke of the oppressor and He would restore you and increase you from this day forward.
The Midnight Season Is Over
More than any other season, so many believers have been robbed in their night seasons. Where once they were dreaming and encountering God, they have been suddenly warring and fighting for peace. Many have been gripped by unexpected fear and anxiety, insomnia and torment.
Without a doubt, night seasons have been one of the most resisted and opposed places, because the enemy knows how powerful dreams are in this time. It is the new language people are learning as they are diving deeper into the oceans of God.
However, I have never seen more people being set free right now than those who have been robbed of their nights. They will be suddenly restored and hearing God in a fresh way. As I was writing this word I heard the Lord say, "Prophesy that the midnight season is over," and so I decree that over you today!
Your midnight season is over. Your season of living powerless, surrounded by the weight of the fight, is over. This month you will upgrade and rise above every noise and distraction into a newfound hope and expectation, and you will cross over into the new place God has for you, in Jesus' name!

Vince Viozzi: "This is a Significant Time and Season to Push Back the Enemy!"
THE ELIJAH LIST Jun 6, 2017
From the desk of Bill Yount:
A prophetic alabaster box has been broken open and is releasing seemingly unknown voices who have paid the price of being hidden, while the Lord was developing their character.
Vince Viozzi is one of those voices. I have known Vince over many years and have witnessed the fire in his bones to not only hear God speak but to live it.
I knew the day would come when his anointing and integrity would break him out into the open place to touch multitudes. His word below is timely for us. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"This is a Significant Time and Season to Push Back the Enemy!"
Vince Viozzi, Palmyra, PA
A Vision of Jesus on His Mobile Throne
During a powerful time of worship, I saw and felt a huge wave of powerful magnitude rising up and moving out with force. It erupted out of our worship! (Earlier before this the Lord had placed Song of Solomon 3:6-9 on my heart.)
I could see us carrying God on His "Mobile Throne" with our high intensity worship! He was riding the wave!
Then I saw another vision: Jesus was standing tall, like a giant, and military aircrafts were flying all around Him just over His head. He was in charge and with authority He would command them, "You go here and you go there!"
"God is calling all Believers and many 5-fold gifts out into the world to the people of the world to get the word out to all men everywhere in every place! The world needs to see the Church in action!"
He was making it known that He was in control! No matter where the call would come from, He was available on His "Mobile Throne" to be the first responder to every call and to take control of the situation at hand!
There is nothing that arises that He is not able to respond to and be in charge of! He is "King of kings and Lord of lords!" He is responding to the calls of everyone, everywhere He is needed...all over the globe! As things of challenging significance take place all over the earth in these days, He wants us to know that He has not lost control of the earth.
Rise Up and Push Back the Enemy!
I sense the Lord saying: "Yes, there are some more events to take place in the US, in Canada, in France, in the Koreas, and elsewhere, and these outbursts of the enemy are only a tool in My hand! For I am using these circumstances and situations to shake whatever can be shaken at this time! Shake, rattle and roll over!
"For have I not even set boundaries in the earth that the waters cannot pass and the darkness cannot remain? The moon stays in its orbit and the sun remains until the time that I say, 'No More!' For the earth is Mine and its fullness. I won it back and I have not abdicated My authority to My enemy!
So rise up and pray! Rise up and proclaim! Rise up and decree what I tell you! For this is a significant time and season to push back the enemy. He will flee!"
As Jesus was commanding and directing the military aircraft in the vision above, He was revealing that we are in a war! An intense war.During times of war people must enlist to rise to the new occasion. If enough people do not enlist, then a draft is put into place.
I sense the Lord saying to many of His people, "I need You! You go here and you go there."
The World Needs to See the Church in Action!
"Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of Heaven, and its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat." (Psalm 19:4-6 NKJV) (Photo via Flickr)
The Father is releasing a mandate to all of the citizens of His Kingdom to, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15 NKJV). God is calling all Believers and many 5-fold gifts out into the world to the people of the world, to get the word out to all men everywhere in every place! The world needs to see the Church in action!
I sense that the Father is in missionary-mode. He is releasing an apostolic mandate, but not just with the evangelistic gift. Although that is one of His high priority goals, but not His only goal! He is starting to release a Kingdom mentality to overtake the Body mentality.For it is imperative that we become more active as citizens of the Kingdom of God than members of His Church!
The Church mentality is not wrong, it has just become unbalanced. If we recognize that we are part of a greater organism than just the local church we belong to or even the global Church, and we start to see that God is not just doing things in the Church but also in the world (hence, the nations), then we can begin to lift our eyes to a greater perspective than just using our gifts to minister to the members of the Body!
"From whom the whole Body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the Body for the edifying of itself in love." (Ephesians 4:16 NKJV)
Updates, Upgrades and Reprogramming
In this computerized world that we live in, I think that many of us can relate to this metaphor. As more things become necessary for a computer or computer program to function, the need arises for updates, upgrades and reprogramming to be done, in order to continue to meet the new demands of the current situation.
"No matter where the call would come from, He was available on His "Mobile Throne" to be the first responder to every call and to take control of the situation at hand!"
We are in a new era, a new season, a new Kairos moment of God's timing and plans for the world, "For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" (Psalm 24:1). There has been another level of the purposes of God being released in these days, and for that release there is also a new release of the wisdom and knowledge and understanding of the times and seasons we are in.
Yesterday's Manna will not do for today's needs! Yesterday's wine will not fit into the new wineskins that are being made to fit the new paradigm of the Kingdom of God.
So in this season there is also a need for us as His People to press into Him like never before and to pick up the new directives – the new updates, upgrades and programs – that are needed to facilitate the new day.
If Christ is returning to rule and reign on the earth for a millennium and He is, then we need to start to understand Kingdom mentality and Kingdom theology! The old just will not do! The old programming will not work in the new hardware; just like computers, the motherboard is not expandable anymore and it has reached its capacity. Some of the old wineskins and the old systems are no longer upgradeable. They need to be replaced with a new more efficient and more effective system. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Rethink! The Wind of Change is Blowing!
It's time to rethink!Rethink the old ways that were good for then but not for now! Rethink the old visions that were good for that time, but not for this time. Reform the old systems to make room for the new. Many of the former denominations were right on in their day but they stagnated – they didn't dive deeper and follow God past those revelations! God is moving on right now! Will you move with Him?
Jesus is here on His Mobile Throne to rule and reign over the necessary changes needed in the earth to facilitate the next phase of His intentions on the earth! The wind of change is blowing! The question is, "Will we move with it or grow stagnate?" Elisha needed to remove his old mantle in order to take up the double portion mantle of Elijah!
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8 NKJV) (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Kairos: "The appointed time in the purpose of God." The time when God acts.
We have entered a unique kairos moment. God has heard our cries for, "Why not now? Why not here?" Godly secrets of the heart will be manifested. Our moment to change history has arrived. It will explain why we haven't been heard from yet.
I sense strongly a couple of those God moments taking place on the earth. For one: There will be those who will change history with a pen. An innocent pen will become the axis that will turn the world upside down and birth a nation in a day. ( Isaiah 66:8 )
And the other one: Many who have wept long lonely nights will discover that their tears were seeds of flowers that are now blooming for their wedding day. Many will discover their once-in-a-life time moment and why they were born. The door is open!
"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." St. John 21:25
I saw gold pens falling from heaven as though they were thrown by the angels. They were hurled like javelins into the hands of unknown people. These pens turned into spears and swords as they fell into these hands. As their fingers began to write; books, songs and poetry were becoming lethal weapons to war against the enemy!
Psalm 144:1 was being activated throughout the earth! "Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight!" Is there a book in you? A song stirring in your heart? Poetry that keeps coming to the surface? Perhaps the Lord is calling you this hour to pick up your pen!
Long awaited 'end-time' weddings will take place upon the earth, preceding the greatest wedding in the Universe.
I saw veils of singleness that had been covering many single men and women for years, in spite of their desire to marry. These veils were actually covering them to protect and hide them from wrong relationships. Many had thought, "What's wrong with me? No one seems to notice me or even look at me." But I saw the wisdom of God hard at work to preserve these chosen ones for the person whom the Lord was preparing and keeping separate for them.
I sensed the Father saying to their guardian angels, "Begin to lift the veils of 'singleness' off of their faces. It's time for them to see and be seen by the ones whom I have ordained for them. As I sent an angel to direct the steps of Isaac's servant to find Rebecca for him, I am sending angels before them to guide them."
I've noticed a pattern that weaves through my life. After seasons of living in obscurity a kairos moment thrusts me to a higher, more noble place. There I discover God had been using me all along, perhaps even most in those seasons when I felt like quitting.
"Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of Heaven, and its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat."
If Christ is returning to rule and reign on the earth for a millennium and He is, then we need to start to understand Kingdom mentality and Kingdom theology! The old just will not do! The old programming will not work in the new hardware; just like computers, the motherboard is not expandable anymore and it has reached its capacity.
