Introduction
Prophetic revelation is the essence of this word of the Lord. I have also added interpretation and demonstration in my list of subjects that I believe are on God's heart for the year 2019. You can use these keys to pray and establish your path. You can also use these keys to align more accurately with what is on God's heart which will bring Kingdom favor. Scripture is clear that there is a time and season for all that God does. Divine alignment with God's timetable releases power, generational impact and multiplied grace through God's agreement with what you are doing.
Various areas of clarity have come as I sought the Lord over the last 3 months for revelation for 2019. I believe this style of communication will give you a "rubber meets the road" approach to understanding God's purposes for 2019.
"Worship opens the heart and the door to your destiny."
I first communicate the revelation. Then, I communicate the interpretation of the revelation. Then, I show you how this revelation impacts and underscores your life. Next, I list areas of application that give you pointers to implement what is on God's heart. Finally, principles of perseverance and timing pull the revelation down from the heavenlies and make your understanding practical and real today.
Bless you as you embark on your adventure of hearing God and walking your destiny path.
Vision of a Large Group of Prodigals Coming Home
While seeking the Lord, I was overwhelmed with a significant vision. In the spirit, I was looking at the horizon of a broad land between many mountains, and I began to see thousands of people walking forward from every land. On their faces was joy, exuberant joy. They walked quickly as they entered the land. They were shouting as they walked, "We are free! We are free indeed. The Lord has saved us and washed away our past. We are free!"
These people were prodigals who had been lost in the trespasses of sin.The Lord is causing a mighty exodus of prodigals. It is time to prepare for the prodigals who are coming home. The prayers for these prodigals are coming to an apex. All of Heaven is rejoicing and ushering in the prodigals. Many years of travailing and deep prayer are now bearing fruit. This is the season for them to join back to what they had left prematurely. We are going to kill the calf and have a celebration.
God is Writing "Faithful"
There has been a demonic attack to displace you from your destined, appointed placement. This year, satan has planned a straight on attack to get you out of place. He will use anyone or anything that could cause you to open your heart of doubt. Remember, a person tossed to and fro in their thinking will become unstable in all of their ways.
A resurrection quickening is coming to you to finish strong. 2018 has been a year of pruning, testing and resistance. In 2019, God has planned a powerful quickening of your purpose, dream and destination. Arise and run!
For your faithfulness, specific awards are coming to you from God. Faithfulness is on the forefront of the heart of God. Many of you have passed your test. God is writing "Faithful" on your forehead. Spiritual reward is showing up with breakthrough, opportunity and favor. A gift of supernatural trust is being handed out by God to connect the Body of Christ.

God is washing away the result of doubt and unbelief from 2018. He will deposit supernatural faith in your heart to move forward with your destiny.
Let God Heal Your Heart
Where you have become weary in well-doing, the Lord is dispensing grace for you to continue. Weariness is the result of your efforts to establish righteousness. Let Him touch your heart with divine strength from heavenly grace. Yes, nothing is impossible.
Open your heart and give 100%...passion and effort will bring results. The enemy's strategy is to wound you so that your heart will close. Now is the time to allow the healing of the Lord to heal your heart. The result of your healing will be passion and motivation flooding inside.
Endure, Persevere and Stabilize
Don't give up! Three keys to overcome are gifts of endurance, perseverance and stabilizing through peace. The Lord wants to quiet your heart of fear and frustration.
Red Rover, Red Rover, let Jesus come over! Ministries resistant to the Holy Spirit will invite the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Lord has encounters planned for every ministry. These encounters will bring godly flexibility and patience. (Photo via Pixabay)
You need focus. Support others and God will take care of your promotion. This season is a season of giving. We don't give to get, however God is especially focused on your giving. Your result will be blessing.

Give to His people and His house, and He will build yours.
It's a year of "choice." War against passivity. Making decisions then moving forward are needful. Passivity is the result of fear, perfection or rebellion. Make your choice and turn your test in. You will learn from your mistakes.
Loose the Shame and Find New Direction
The face of the Lord is against the shame that the enemy has produced in your life. Forgiveness and grace are before you. Receive His honor because you are His child. Your path of destiny is before you. There is a "yellow brick road" and your destiny direction will become clear this year. The revelation you have will expand and greater clarity will be added. Look up and look out. Take your step and complete your destiny path.
"Come now, and let us reason together..." (Isaiah 1:18). Bring your questions to Jesus. Uncertainties have caused an unnecessary pause in your progress. Reason with Jesus and let Him answer your questions so you can move full speed ahead.

We are NOT looking for perfection but we are looking for progress.
Turn the knob and use your confidence. Your open doors in previous seasons looked more like a long hallway in which you found yourself waiting. This year the doors will clearly be seen. Use the confidence God has given you. Put your hand on the knob and joy will begin to arise. Turn the knob, which might show some resistance, but don't stop. Turn the knob and push the door open. It's your time!
It's a brand new day! Nothing in this season remains the same from previous seasons. Your walk with God is different in this season. Methods and familiarities have changed. Walk in faith and trust, and you will discover your greatest fulfillment in life. Be prepared to make a 45 degree turn. Brand new levels are before you!
Step Up Higher – a New Level
"In 2019 God has planned a powerful quickening of your purpose, dream and destination. Arise and run!"
Your new level is a season of discovery. Prepare yourself for the miraculous breakthrough that is before you. Some of the issues remain the same, but there is a new level of presentation. Opportunities will present themselves in rapid succession. With revelation and wisdom, you will discern which opportunities are for you at this point. Learn to make quick decisions for this season with confidence and as a witness in the spirit. The year 2018 had testing, proving and pruning. God wants to wake you up, and for you to become fully alert and on point. Your alertness will help you to move quickly because God is moving with acceleration.
Many in the Body of Christ have been unaware of walls of pride that exist in their lives. The grace of the Lord will shine the light on our pride. God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud (James 4:6).
Assignments that we have received will NOT go uncompleted. The Lord is moving powerfully in our life to become a finishing generation. The Lord is healing hearts to prepare the Body of Christ for deep bonding.

The year 2019 is forming tight bonds and releasing unity throughout the Body of Christ.
Worship is also a needed grace that will cause you to ascend, receiving revelation, transformation and Kingdom demonstration. Much like when Jesus was born, God descended through the heavens and the angels cried out, "Glory to God in the highest, on Earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14).

Worship opens the heart and the door to your destiny.
Kingdom Territory in Nations
In this season, we might be called to give away spiritual birthings and Kingdom territory that God requires in order for the full destiny and purpose of His territory to come to fullness. Put your vision on the water and let God prepare a kingly place to receive your vision, bringing your vision to the heavenly level of the King of kings.
Many of you have struggled with getting deliverance and maintaining deliverance for areas of sin, weakness or compromise in your lives. This year radical deliverance and freedom is available for you to align with true freedom. In the spirit, I saw these bondages falling off like chains breaking and falling to the ground. This time the deliverance will be permanent. Distractions have become your enemy. When you are not focused on your area of responsibility, your release, open door and freedom are comprised.
No more lone rangers, as teams will rule! Instead of isolation and independence in Kingdom ministry, God's desire is for multiplication, team support and impact. People who are more comfortable doing everything on their own will find an "end" to this mindset. Team ministry has God's blessing and your strength and safety connected.
Kingdom principles will be birthed in government. A revival of Kingdom principles is invading secular government. Upon His shoulders is laid the government of the world. Move with the flow of this revival and there will be a crumbling of politicism in our local government and government national.

I see a 911 message to all nations. As the Body of Christ, we are entering a new season of awakening. As an army, we are marching to the beat of a new drum...a finishing drum. This wave of God's Spirit will determine sheep and goat nations. Listen with new ears as this voice of awakening reaches each nation.
Visitation and Multiplication
The touch of God will bring acceleration. Each new move of God is personal, mighty and produces multiplication. As this visitation surrounds your life, you will find fruitfulness and favor moving you to a place of acceleration.
I encourage you to test and reexamine all your foundational principles. Reexamine your foundations, the Word, the will and the way. Don't assume all is good and you are established. As you examine the quality and impact of your life and message, make sure all that you teach and demonstrate is to make you more like Jesus. (Photo via Pixabay)
Move quickly with revelation, interpretation and demonstration. Moving quickly is not born out of frustration or being scattered, but is born out of timing and powerful release. Aligning with the timing of the Lord is essential for the impact of your ministry. Remove paralysis of analysis and walk in confidence.
Alignment with God's plan and purpose will open doors. Alignment is a key principle to bring breakthrough in 2019. You can agree with His truth in your mind and not align your actions which affect your time, money, physical effort and planning. The key to alignment is to walk in the light as He is in the light, lest darkness overtake you.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
Power for the Hour
God's strength is perfect in your weakness! Start your new dance with Jesus. If you are following His lead, then this process will inspire, infill and empower you to overcome and walk in vigor. The powerful reality is that our weakness is not strengthened, but He replaces our weakness with His strength. Receive it now! This year, your destination will be revealed. Navigating your destiny is a daily process, and as you allow Him to reveal more and more of your destination, you will walk in destiny which brings peace and satisfaction.

Ask and you will receive...once you receive, keep your focus!
This year, faith will be deposited in your heart supernaturally. Like a good father, our heavenly Father knows all about our destination and gives to us what we need before we know we need it. Receive, breathe in, and allow your faith to arise as He fills you with more. He wants to propel you forward with faith to match each and every spiritual process.
We will see a new thrust of evangelism for end-time harvest. The Lord will impart passion and compassion to your heart causing your love for the lost to grow. You will see more opportunities to witness to others as you go through your day-to-day activities. Ask and you will receive.
Wars and Rumors of Wars and an Increase of Last Day Martyrs
"When this happens a great rejoicing will fill the earth and every nation. A unified Korea will be a worldwide blessing."
I saw martyrs crying out. Many more people than you are aware of have been martyred for the purpose of Christ. During this season, the martyrs are crying out from Heaven for their spilled blood to be avenged. At the same time, nations will be rising against nation with rumors of wars. There will be an acceleration of hatred from non-Christian leaders against Christian leaders. This conflict will grow and the evil of non-Christian nations will arise with a spirit of war. Where negotiations have worked in the past, a spirit of war is being released and war will break out in the nations.

Pray for God's mercy and against this evil.
No weapon formed against President and Mrs. Trump will prosper. Threats, in great number, have been hurled at the president of the United States. I see a very large angel in place to protect him and his wife.

The Lord says, "This is My man and the apple of My eye. I am using him and his wife to raise a new standard within the United States. Through them, I am purging the doctrine of evil that has permeated the United States. Pray continually for their safety and the hyper-vigilance needed to protect them. The hearts of a group of people in the United States are angry because he has confronted their evil."
This year we will also receive strategies for overcoming, and generals in the Body of Christ will be revealed. A changing of the guard is before us in the year 2019. In this changing of the guard, generals will begin to arise in the Body of Christ coming alongside the current generals. Pray for these generals. It doesn't matter how large an influence they have, but that they are called with an eternal placement in the Body of Christ.
I see warfare prayer being multiplied and prayer closets increasing. More prayer will arise in the Body of Christ as in all the previous years. The revelation of prayer and the need for prayer to establish Kingdom purposes is being released. A concert of intercession will go before God in His throne room, shaping the destiny of the Church.
New Methods, Connections, Territories and Strategies
The future will birth the NEW methods, connections, territories and strategies which are all changing. In some situations there will be additions placed alongside the old strategies, creating a merging of strategies. Nonetheless the old is going to pass away as we know it and NEW strategies are being put in place.
I see businesses in America will have the best year in 2019. In 2018 there has been some growth, but in 2019 the growth will go off the charts for many businesses. A shifting of the wealth of the world will be given to the Kingdom.

I also saw medical discoveries for 3 major diseases in 2019. Doctors and medical professionals will be astounded with radical turnarounds from dangerous diseases. Cures and recovery of the sick will reach a new high.
Let It Rain!
God also showed me a strengthening of marriages in 2019.

A heaviness has been on many marriages all the way through the end of 2018. Many couples have been challenged with the idea of divorce. But I believe God's salvation for all of this lies within your mate. A wave of forgiveness will spread through the United States within marriages and President Trump and Melania will be an example of a strong leadership couple in love. (Photo via Unsplash)
The eye of the Lord is on "Generation Z," specifically children from years of age 6 through 22. The eyes of the Lord have gone to and fro throughout the land seeking hearts that are fully turned to Him. He has focused on Generation Z and there has been a unified cry from the hearts of Generation Z.

Spiritual strength and boldness are upon this generation. They will move forward in leadership and creative strategies of how to lead the Kingdom of God.
I see waves of healing flowing throughout the Body of Christ and the secular world. I see the Body of Christ rejoicing and thanking the Lord for deliverance from infirmity. Like the 1950s, where the mighty healing evangelist came to focus, 2019 will birth saints in the Body of Christ with this same gifting. Glory to God!
New Strategies, Music and Fellowship
New strategies for successful, profitable farming is coming. Farmers, as a whole, have faced some lean months of production and sales. New strategies are being released from Heaven to increase demand of farming products, bringing financial prosperity to farmers.
Secular and Kingdom music will produce songs that will go viral and impact all peoples with Godly worship demonstration. Laughter will result from this new release...lifting heavy burdens and producing liberty.
Denominations will join hands for the exaltation of Jesus, the King of kings.

Denominations will reach across their theological boundaries and connect, heart to heart and hand to hand. A blending of the Body of Christ will release an unconditional love, healing many in the Body of Christ.
"I see warfare prayer being multiplied and prayer closets are increasing. More prayer will arise in the Body of Christ as in all the previous years."
Peace from Jesus will calm anxieties. An impartation of peace will spread throughout the Body of Christ. Where some have had to take medication to help their anxieties, the Word of God will begin to heal many. The compassion of Jesus is touching many, healing their anxieties. Fear will evaporate with the wind of the Holy Spirit.
I also saw ministries to feed the hungry abounding. A major focus will fill the hearts in the United States, and programs and ministries will be birthed to meet the need and demand of people going hungry. More gardens of provision will be planted than ever before.
A Revival in Hollywood and Cyber Protection
Hollywood will prepare to bow their knee to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Hearts and bodies will be healed and loneliness will be dispelled. This revival will be known as a replica of the Azusa Street Revival.
Discoveries in computer warfare will produce the protection and prevention of stealing intellectual secrets. Inventive discoveries are happening which are causing the United States to be more Cyber secure in the area of business. This will prevent the stealing of intellectual secrets, private finances, bank transactions, and personal information which has previously resulted in identity theft.
Africa, the Koreas and the Nations Throughout the World
Africa is coming out of years of wars and poverty, and there will be a radical change in government and politics. The wealth of their recourses will find a new market, managed with character.

The ravaging of their tribes and communities with disease, poverty and conflict will shift this year. Africa will begin to lead out in innovative discoveries.

The think tank of African communities has the blessing of heavenly ideas. Soon they will be linked with people who can help take these discoveries and use them as blessings in other nations.
A greater unity within Africa will come this year. Prior to 2019, there have been many factions and divisions in Africa. This has increased tribalism and competition at any cost. Abusing the import and export business of Africa will be confronted. Even crime which has benefited greatly from their resources will be turned around. The Lord has heard the cries of His people there and will turn this injustice around.
The Korean nations will be rescued from the threat of North Korea and their dominant control.

Intellectual gifts will be released, bringing breakthrough in many disciplines and will greatly impact the world. South Korea will shift to a "sheep nation" and Christianity will rise to a large percentage. South Korea will become a great ally of the United States, assisting in bringing freedom to North Korea. North and South Korea will reconcile and families, communities and shared gifts given to Korea by God will be healed.

When this happens a great rejoicing will fill the earth and every nation. A unified Korea will be a worldwide blessing. North Korea is entering a season of turnaround. North Korea will be set free and do away with the cruel, dominant approach of ruling their people. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
I saw revival exploding throughout nations in 2019. Revival will break out in England. Burton-on-Trent will be the epicenter of this move of God, and it will spread like a wildfire to cities throughout England. It will then spread to Scotland and Ireland. Revival will break out in North Dakota and then move quickly to Canada. Let it rain!
England is going to rise up as an apostolic nation, leading impacting and changing others nations throughout the world. God has blessed them with divine order which will bring blessing.

The roots of revival are coming alive and will bless the peoples of England with character, law and foundations to move forward.
Canada is going to see a change from the liberalism that has ruled their nation. Their import and export business will increase and bring in money to bless people from the West to the East. Revival will refresh and awaken the roots of Godly character established all throughout Canada. Canada will form an alliance with the United States and demonstrate their loyalty in 2019. NORAD in Canada will be called to act several times, most of which will not be publicized. However, divine protection and order has been established in Canada. God is calling on the deposit of this gift to shine. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Cindy Jacobs: Don't Let Satan Rob Your Joy—God Is About to Open Doors - CINDY JACOBS CHARISMA NEWS

Cindy Jacobs (Vimeo)
CINDY JACOBS  CHARISMA NEWS
The Lord is saying to me that there's some of you who have pressed and pressed to see the doors open for you, but it just seems like they just won't get open.
I feel from the Lord to tell you, don't be discouraged. God is going to open doors for you that no man can shut. Don't let the enemy come in and rob your joy. Don't let the enemy come in and tell you it's never gonna happen.
For the Lord would say, "Do not be discouraged, because I am working behind the scenes to do things you can't know. I am moving chess pieces, as it were, behind the scenes so you can have a checkmate so you can do what you need to do—for your business, for your schooling, for your house and for your dreams."
The Lord says, "I am a dream maker." God is going to release a new ability to dream. It's time to dream again.
And the Lord says, "Don't let Satan steal those visions and those things I have put in your heart. It's time to rise up and say no to the voice of the enemy that would say to you, 'Oh, it's never going to happen.' This is the time for the violent to take it by force. Stand up and decree, 'No! I will have my doors open. I will have my breakthrough.'" 
Cindy Jacobs is an author, speaker and teacher with a heart for discipling nations in the areas of prayer and prophetic gifts. She and Mike—her husband of 43 years—co-founded Generals International in 1985.

Sandie Freed: "God Still Speaks Through Dreams and Visions" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Sandie Freed: "God Still Speaks Through Dreams and Visions"


THE ELIJAH LIST Nov 6, 2017
Steve Shultz     From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I know Sandie personally and have spoken at her church. She is the "real deal" and you have much to learn from her.
Sandie's an amazing teacher regarding the prophetic, but also dreams specifically. Not many can communicate dream language, but Sandie is your "go-to" person on dreams.
Here's an important statement by her:
Did you realize that every time God gives a dream, it is actually an opportunity to shift into destiny? Yes, every dream is like a door opening into greater revelation. Question is: are we really listening when He speaks to us?

Dear Believer,
We are in a season where the Lord is releasing dreams and visions as never before! As a prophet, I am excited that God is speaking clearly concerning our new season through our dreams. Did you realize that every time God gives a dream, it is actually an opportunity to shift into destiny? Yes, every dream is like a door opening into greater revelation. Question is: are we really listening when He speaks to us? 
This is an updated article concerning hearing God's voice through dreams and visions. I have taken the time to update the article and add new insight, and I truly believe that this is a NOW word, as He continues to pour our His Spirit on all flesh, especially upon our children and the next generation!
We Can All Hear God's Voice!
Each of us has been equipped by God with the ability to hear His voice. The problem is so many of us don't realize He is speaking to us in our dreams. For many years we have treated our dreams as "junk mail" and tossed them aside without taking time to study and discern the dreams properly. We must begin to take our dreams more seriously.
Remember, it was through a dream that the Father spoke to Joseph (the earthly father of Jesus), and gave him specific direction to save Jesus' life! Knowing this, we should never treat our dreams as unimportant, but rather fine-tune our spiritual senses to hear His voice more accurately.
Many of my dreams actually equip me for spiritual warfare. By this, I mean that God often speaks to me in a dream concerning situations in the Body of Christ which require prayer for breakthrough. Many times the Lord exposes personal strongholds through dreams. For instance, if someone struggles with a religious spirit, it might be revealed through a dream symbolically, such as dreaming of someone who is so bent toward tradition that he/she resists the present move of His Spirit. Or, if someone struggles with a Jezebel spirit, one might have a dream of someone who is controlling and manipulating.
"Let's not treat our dreams and visions like junk-mail and toss them to the side."
One of the most common dreams I hear from others are dreams that involve seductive scenes. These types of dreams are not always revealing a stronghold of sexual impurity, but rather exposure of a seducing spirit which entices us to "go back." The devil does NOT want us to possess our Promised Land! If he can seduce us into apostasy, convincing us to remain lukewarm, he will steal our destiny!
Dreams of Open Doors
We are in fresh season of both "seeing" and "hearing." By this I mean that God is confirming His Word through what we see in dreams and visions. In this season, God is confirming that we are entering a time of "new beginnings." A few months back (right before the Jewish New Year), I heard the Lord specifically say:
"My Church is entering into a season of new beginnings. I am bringing forth many suddenlies and Kairos moments. I will catch My children up if they have lagged behind, it will be a catch-up time. They will no longer feel left out or left behind. Regardless of past mistakes, they will not be hindered in their forward progression if they will simply have faith! I will open many doors: doors of breakthrough, doors of finances, doors of opportunity and enlargement. What has been shut will now become opened."
Believers, let your faith arise! God is releasing the key of David to us again, so that we can open doors that no man can shut (Rev 3:7). Therefore, there are many Believers who have been having dreams about keys and doors; this is confirmation to the Word of the Lord that many are prophesying right now. (Photo via freedesignfile)
Let me ask you a question: are you being accountable to God concerning your dreams? Do you write down your dreams, pray over them, and ask God to reveal the interpretations? So many times God uses His night voice to speak to us. In our dreams, God will give specific direction about which doors to walk through. Yes, the enemy can open doors also, but a dream will reveal if it is one that will benefit or hinder us.
God Will By-Pass Our Minds to Speak Truth Through Dreams and Visions!
Dreams and visions are part of God's plans of restoration. Since it is our season to see, we must also understand that God opens our spiritual eyes for a reason.
Do you recall the tribe of Reuben? Reuben was one of the twelve tribes of Israel that descended from Jacob. Every tribe of Israel had an inheritance of land given to them by God. When Moses selected the twelve spies to scout-out Canaan, there was one leader from each of the twelve tribes who was to cross over into the Promised Land for an exploration. From the tribe of Reuben, a man named Shammua was selected (see Numbers 13:1-5).
ElijahList Prophetic Resources
Reuben was the "seer" and the "discerning tribe." This tribe was anointed by God with the ability to see as God Himself sees. Within their prophetic destiny was the ability to see the victory in the Promised Land. However, Shammua, the leader of the tribe, came back to Moses with a negative report. He was unable to fully "see" the victory and the promise of God concerning their Promised Land. Keep in mind that the name "Shammua: means "devastated and desolate." It is connected to a word that implies being "stooped over" or "bent." Shammua had a "bent toward negativity, even though his spiritual DNA had a bent toward godly destiny!
Believers, many of us are spiritually "bent" in our belief systems, especially concerning our potential to possess our future and our destiny. When we get a prophetic word concerning our Promised Land, do we believe God and begin to possess it or do we negate it due to fear or doubt?
Many of us are like the 10 spies who returned with a negative report! But God has a way to awaken us! He will by-pass our minds at night and gives us a dream that will shift us, direct us and speak into our potential!
Now, please hear me! Because at times we may not properly hear God's voice, we must be sure to be attentive to our dreams and visions. The Lord has given each of us a promise of breakthrough. This is our season of enlargement and increase. We must be open-minded concerning the various ways that God wants to speak to us – dreams and visions will prove to be a reliable source in this season!
God Wants to Reveal the Condition of Our Hearts
"Dreams and visions are part of God's plans of restoration."
Do you remember Nebuchadnezzar and how God had to speak truth to him through his dreams? At first, Nebuchadnezzar would not heed the words of correction and direction given from God as Daniel interpreted the dreams. The King recognized Daniel's awesome gift and exhorted him. Daniel corrected the king telling him that it was not his own (Daniel's) wisdom which was able to interpret the dream. But the dream was given and interpreted by Daniel, so that the king would know the thoughts (condition) of his own heart.
"But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart." (Daniel 2:30)
The very same can occur in our own dreams! God may be attempting to expose hidden motives while we dream. Or maybe, God may be talking to us about our future business ventures, financial breakthroughs and blessings that will soon manifest. Whatever He is speaking, we need to be hearing!
Helping Our Children with Their Dreams
Many of us have nightmares. However, it is much more prevalent with children. But, we don't have to allow nightmares to terrorize us or our kids! In my new book, Understanding Your Dreams: How to Unlock the Meanings of God's Messages, I go to great length to help you understand your dreams. I discuss the different types of dreams one may have, such as dreams of angels, dreams of houses, dreams of falling, and much more.
I discuss the different types of "destiny dreams" that empower us to fulfill destiny, as well as warn us of the enemy that steals our destiny. I also discuss how God can empower all of us through nightmares by learning how to exercise our spiritual authority and rebuke the enemy while we are still dreaming! I want to show you ways to empower yourselves and your children to overcome nightmares and those night scares!
We are all called as sons and daughters by God. We have been given victory over the enemy. This book will help you and your children see who they are in Christ and empower them to defeat the fear "threats" presented in nightmares.
This book is for you if:
1. You are having dreams but need to learn interpretation. (There are forty pages of dream symbolism to help you interpret your dreams.)
2. You are having repeated dreams.
3. You are not sure if God can speak through dreams and visions.
4. You want to have dreams and visions.
5. You and/or your children have nightmares.
6. You need deliverance of a particular addiction, mindset or generational stronghold.
7. And so much more!
Believer, God is always talking. Are you positioned to hear Him? Let's not treat our dreams and visions like junk-mail and toss them to the side. Let's be determined to hear and see His voice! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

10 Types of Persecution You Could Face for Your Faith - JIM DENISON CHARISMA NEWS

JIM DENISON CHARISMA NEWS
Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Sunday is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Why do we need such a day?
In The Global War on Christians, John Allen calls the worldwide persecution of Christians "the most dramatic religion story of the early twenty-first century, yet one that most people in the West have little idea is even happening." The respected journalist describes this persecution as "the most compelling Christian narrative of the early twenty-first century." According to him, "Christians today indisputably are the most persecuted religious body on the planet."
What evidence does Allen offer for his claim?
The Scope of Persecution
According to the evangelical group Open Doors, 100 million Christians face interrogation, arrest, torture and/or death because of their religious convictions. Todd Johnson of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary documents that 100,000 Christians, 11 per hour, have been killed on average every year of the past decade. The Catholic humanitarian group Aid to the Church in Need describes this global assault on believers as "a human rights disaster of epic proportions."
While 30 percent of the world's population identifies as Christian, 80 percent of all acts of religious discrimination around the world are directed at Christians. One scholar estimates that 90 percent of all people killed on the basis of their religious beliefs are Christians.
Terrorist attacks against Christians escalated 309 percent between 2003 and 2010. There have been 70 million martyrs since the time of Christ, 45 million of them in the 20th century. In other words, more Christians died for their faith in the last century than in the previous 19 centuries combined.
Persecution and Islam
Persecution against Christians is especially prevalent in the Muslim world. According to Newsweek, "In recent years the violent oppression of Christian minorities has become the norm in Muslim-majority nations stretching from West Africa and the Middle East to South Asia and Oceania. In some countries, it is governments and their agents that have burned churches and imprisoned parishioners. In others, rebel groups and vigilantes have taken matters into their own hands, murdering Christians and driving them from regions where their roots go back centuries."
What about the allegation that the West, post-9/11, has become Islamophobic?
Newsweek notes: "A fair-minded assessment of recent events and trends leads to the conclusion that the scale and severity of Islamophobia pales in comparison with the bloody Christophobia currently coursing through Muslim-majority nations from one end of the globe to the other. The conspiracy of silence surrounding this violent expression of religious intolerance has to stop. Nothing less than the fate of Christianity—and ultimately of all religious minorities—in the Islamic world is at stake."
Types of persecution
John Allen cites the Barnabas Fund, a U.K.-based international body formed to support persecuted Christians. The Fund lists 10 forms of aggression against Christians, in ascending order of ferocity:
1. Social discrimination, such as pressure on a Christian woman to convert to Islam if she marries a Muslim.
2. Institutional discrimination, such as difficulties obtaining building permits to construct or repair Christian churches.
3. Employment discrimination, such as bias against Copts in the Egyptian military and public sectors.
4. Legal discrimination: denying Christians and other religious groups access to the courts, legal representation or action by police when they are attacked.
5. Suppression of Christian missionary activity, as in Iran, where missionaries are routinely arrested and deported or incarcerated.
6. Suppression of conversion to Christianity, usually through "blasphemy" or "apostasy" laws. Nearly half the countries in the world have laws that criminalize apostasy, blasphemy or defamation of religion.
7. Forced conversion from Christianity, sometimes involving "reconversion" ceremonies where Christians are made to embrace the religion they left for Christ.
8. Suppression of corporate worship, as when authorities in China or Saudi Arabia raid house churches.
9. Violence against individuals, the most common and most lethal form of the global war on Christians.
10. Community oppression, when entire churches or faith groups are attacked.
What Can We Do?
If a member of your family were under attack today, what would you do? Apply your answer to your global Christian family as you consider three imperatives.
First, we must pray. Intercede for your persecuted sisters and brothers, "[making] supplication for all the saints" (Eph. 6:18b). Pray for their oppressors as well: "Love your enemies, and pray for those who ... persecute you" (Matt. 5:44b).
Second, we must tell their story. For resources that will help you and your church stand with persecuted Christians, click here and here. For resources focused on Texas churches, I recommend the "Speak Freedom Texas" initiative.
Third, we must follow their example. Knowing that our sisters and brothers are facing torture and death for our Lord, what price will we pay for our faith?
When last did it cost you something significant to follow Jesus?
