As featured in the February Maoz Israel Report
  
"We are Caren and Klaas, and are blessed with one daughter and two sons. As longtime believers in Messiah Yeshua, we feel called to living in the Promised Land; Caren made aliya with her parents over twenty years ago and Klaas more than eleven years ago. We met while Klaas was visiting Israel through Athletes in Action from the Netherlands.

"When our eldest, Netaley, was ten months old, a huge brain tumor was discovered, which was removed a few days later during emergency surgery. God was with us every step of the way. Prof. Constantini, one of the top surgeons in this field worldwide, was available and willing to perform the operation. Netaley barely survived due to massive loss of blood and Prof. Constantini indicated afterwards this was one of the most difficult surgeries he had ever performed. We were told later that only he could have pulled it off.

"Due to complications, Netaley lost control over the right side of her body a few days after the surgery. Since then, she has received lots of physiotherapy to help her regain control over her right side. She has had many other treatments, including chemotherapy...

How Hanukkah Empowers Us to Overcome the New Anti-Israel Alignment - SANDRA TEPLINSKY/LIGHT OF ZION CHARISMA NEWS

How Hanukkah Empowers Us to Overcome the New Anti-Israel Alignment

SANDRA TEPLINSKY/LIGHT OF ZION  CHARISMA NEWS
Standing With Israel
A day before Hanukkah, U.S. President Obama brokered U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334, declaring that Judea and Samaria (including the Western Wall) belong to Palestine. The resolution puts in place putative legal groundwork, lacking until now, for dividing Israel into a Palestinian state.
The exquisitely evil timing of the American ambush against Israel is not unprecedented. Through history, God's enemies have plotted genocidal schemes against the Jews specifically to coincide with biblical holidays. Historically, those schemes backfire. God judges His enemies and more than overcomes them. From a macroview perspective, He actually advances His kingdom to the next phase of global redemption.
Therefore, when the kingdoms of this world rage against Yaweh and His people, we should weep and pray. But we should also be encouraged, for the kingdom of heaven will soon break upon us in a greater, more glorious measure.
Last week's unjust international resolution at Hanukkah (and Christmas) may forebode a new year of extreme difficulty for Israel and the nations. Battle lines have been drawn; kingdoms are clashing. Sadly, the battle may be bloody.
There will likely be serious casualties—and a call for compassionate ministry in response. For this we must be ready. But as God delivered His people over 2,000 years ago at Hanukkah (and Christmas), we must remember He will deliver us again.
The Hope of Hanukkah
Israeli officials say they expect Obama and the U.N. to take further steps to enforce Resolution 2334 before the Nobel Peace Prize-winning president leaves office next month. The next president will be hard pressed to reverse or amend the international resolution or any mechanisms put in place for its enforcement.
He will, however, have authority to redirect America's response to the travesty. We must pray for him to act wisely and rightly so other nations may follow his lead. President-elect Trump faces an unprecedented, worldwide anti-Israel alignment that has just gained exponential momentum. It is possible only a wide-scale military operation can reverse this momentum. (On this I pray I prove wrong.)
Global circumstances at the start of 2017 are reminiscent of those leading to events culminating in the original Hanukkah. Less than 200 years before Messiah's first coming, the Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV was in power across the Middle East. The crazed conqueror is regarded by Bible scholars as a type of antichrist prophesied in the book of Daniel.
Antiochus IV sought to rule the known world as one people, under one humanist religion. With great arrogance he surnamed himself "Epiphanes," meaning Manifest God. He made it illegal to teach or even speak the Holy Scriptures. With murderous tortures resembling those of ISIS, the devil-driven ruler aimed to destroy all worship of Yaweh. Miraculously, a small band of Jewish priests named the Maccabees militarily resisted and defeated him. Hanukkah celebrates this victory.
The timing of Resolution 2334 last week, ushering in Hanukkah, actually underscores its ultimate defeat. As God raised up a remnant over 2,000 years ago to defeat the anti-Jewish, antichrist spirit, He will do so again. He wants us inspired, infused with faith and empowered for victory. He wants us embracing the hope of Hanukkah.
The Maccabees' Message
The Maccabee remnant stood firm in the grace of Yaweh. Unlike us, they were not indwelled by the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, they intentionally chose to access the strength, courage and faith residing in us today. They clung tenaciously to righteousness.
Hanukkah's heroes of old loved not their lives unto death. They trusted God as their personal redeemer, despite the limited revelation they had of His salvation. They knew He would use their faithfulness—even martyrdom—for His glory through eternity. Indeed, these saintly ones are collectively memorialized in Hebrews 11:35-39. Their testimony is intended to help us stand firm in these last days.
In Matthew 24, Yeshua (Jesus) connects Hanukkah-related events with the end times antichrist. He shows how Daniel prophesied concerning them both. Prior to His first coming, the antichrist spirit sought to destroy the Jews. Satan's goal was to thwart God's plan of redemption and future, governmental kingdom rule. But the Jews survived. Hanukkah resulted. Messiah King was born not long thereafter.
The antichrist spirit will arise with even greater vengeance before Messiah's Second Coming. Conditions that led to the original Hanukkah will be similar to those resulting at the end of this age. Events at the U.N. last week reflect this prophetic trajectory.
In 2017 and beyond, like the Maccabees, you and I will have opportunity to align in righteousness with the kingdom government that rests on His shoulders (Is. 9:6). In an increasingly anti-Christian/anti-Jewish culture, it will be our Father's good pleasure to impart faith, courage and victory to us.
This new year, I encourage you to align even more intentionally with the government of His kingdom. Execute the authority He gives you for the salvation of Israel and the nations. Choose righteousness and humble boldness. Do not let your love grow cold because of the increase of wickedness around you (Matt. 24:12). And do not keep silent. Remember that no circumstance or decision of yours will be too big or too small to impact according to the rule of His government.
2017 Celebrates Kingdom Advance
God sets times and seasons, giving special meanings to them (Dan. 7:25). One hundred years ago in 1917, Britain's Balfour Declaration formalized the intent to create a Jewish homeland. Seventy years ago in 1947, U.N. Resolution 181 re-established a Jewish state. Fifty years ago in 1967, the City of Jerusalem was restored to Israel. The time frames of 50, 70 and 100 years are biblically significant. 2017 could prove a watershed year for Israel (and the nations) in which your life makes a difference for eternity.
There is reason to believe we are entering a very challenging but also very happy new year.
"Why do the nations rage? ... Blessed are all who seek refuge in Him" (Psalm 2:1, 12). In 2017, put your trust in Him and be blessed!

How to overcome your limitations and perform above expectations - Christian Strength Coach Jonathan Avalos


How to overcome your limitations and perform above expectations.

Jonathan Avalos

 20-21 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Did you know that you can take any tree and turn it into a bonsai tree?
All you have to do is train the tree to stay small –  prune it on a regular basis, wrap wire around the branches, and restrict its growth by planting it in a confined environment.
I believe that God blessed my wife Hannah and me with a child that would be born with limitations; so that we would be reminded not to live with a limited mindset.
Our son Levi was born with a condition called TAR syndrome which is a rare genetic disorder that’s associated with both bone and blood abnormalities.
He’s missing his radius bone in each arm (one of the bones in your forearm that extends from your elbow to your thumb), and he has low platelets (which helps your blood clot and stops bleeding).
The great thing about babies is that they don’t know that they are supposed to feel sorry for themselves. Levi doesn’t have a victim’s mentality rather he has a positive perspective and childlike faith that allows him to test boundaries, push through barriers, and set new PR’s (personal records) daily.
Imagine if we chose to get better and not become bitter if we looked at life not as what happens to us but rather what happens for us and in us;  if we looked at every obstacle and saw it as an opportunity to grow our roots, strengthen our faith, and develop our relationship with God.
DNS training (Developmental Neuromuscular Stabilization) has gained some traction in the fitness and physical therapy community.  In short, it assesses your movement based on that of an infant.
Can you do basic movements that a baby can do – crawl, get off the ground, and move without pain or dysfunction?
It sounds silly, but I think that this is a great way that we should not only train but live.  If we would return to our roots and learn to move, think, and live without limitations, then we can operate out of love, freedom, and holiness.
The problem that most Christian and fitness enthusiasts have: isn’t that they aren’t saved or aren’t showing up to the gym – it’s that they aren’t growing in their faith or aren’t properly progressing in their training program.
It’s interesting to see how some people will allow their situation to stunt their growth while others will find strength in their struggle.
We were not created to live or train like a bonsai tree.
So guard your roots, remove your restrictions, and condition yourself to overcome every challenge by reminding yourself that –  you are a child of God, created in his image, and given unlimited potential – the Holy Spirit.

This year, the month of March is going to be a turning point spiritually. On the last Yom Kippur (September 23, 2015), I heard God say that 24 weeks from that day there would be a big shifting happen. You can read more about it in my 2016 Prophetic Forecast. We are currently in a time of pruning and preparation. 
Why Am I Feeling Discouraged or Attacked?
So often it is common for things to look the opposite from what we thought would happen. We should not expect or make room for this in our lives, instead we need to take authority and battle it.
Over the past few weeks, several demons and witchcraft attacks assigned to harass us were revealed. We continue to break these things as they are being exposed.
I have been asked, "How is it possible for people in witchcraft to attack us when we are under the Blood of Jesus?"
This is a great question.
There are a few reasons. I sometimes get attacked even though I battle daily over myself and others.
We are in a time that evil is increasing and we as Christians need to be advancing in the anointing to overcome these things.
Most Christians are operating in older ways of doing spiritual warfare that worked 10 years ago, but they need to be updated to survive what is happening right now. When I talk about this with people, most of them argue with me, but I am seeing this firsthand in my life and ministry.

Yes, we have the Word of God, the word of our testimony, the Name and the Blood of Jesus. And they are all powerful to destroy the attacks of satan.
But if you are seeing a continual attack on your finances, chronic sickness or anything contrary to God's Word, then you need a strategy from Heaven to overcome.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources
What Are Some New Ways to Battle?
• There is power in agreement. Find someone or even groups to pray (where two or more agree together it shall be done for them.)
• Make declarations. Take God's promises and the Bible and combine them into a powerful tool in prayer.
• Take communion. I take communion every day and pray.
• Position yourself. Try waking up at a different time. Right now I have to go to bed at 8:00 p.m. so that I can get enough sleep to get up at 4:00 a.m. every day because that seems to be the time for me to see and to battle.
How to Prepare for Advancement
First, get familiar with what God spoke to me about the season we are in. This will help you respond and get into sync with Heaven.
I recommend reading this blog post: Strategy for the Next 24 months. This is what God spoke to me on September 23, and it gives lots of prophetic insight into what is happening right now.
Another prophetic blog I would recommend reading is Doorway to Your Advancement, which has details on how to respond.

Land of the Giants by Elaine Tavolacci

Land of the Giants 

by Elaine Tavolacci

Identity Network

There is a story in the book of Numbers when the Lord told Moses to send twelve men, one from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to spy out the land of Canaan, which is also known as the Promised Land. Ten out of the twelve spies came back with a bad report because they had seen the giants in the land. These are the same men who had experienced great miracles when the Lord recently gave them a cloud by day, a fire by night, manna from heaven, and He miraculously provided for them for forty years in the wilderness. 

He also parted the Red Sea for them and six million of them walked through the sea on dry ground while He destroyed their enemies. When they went into Canaan to spy out the land, they were looking at the giants rather than remembering all that the Lord had done for them. They returned to Moses with a cluster of grapes that was so huge, that it took two men to carry, but they also returned with a bad report saying that the land surely does flow with milk and honey but the giants are too large for us to conquer. They also said, "We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
The Lord is showing me that many of you are facing giants in your lives and you see yourself as grasshoppers rather than conquerors. You recognize that the land ahead of you is flowing with milk and honey, but your focus is on the giants. Jesus gave you a promise but you are not trusting Him for the provision. Many of you are standing on the brink of Canaan and Jesus has done so much in your life but now you are afraid to pursue His plans because you came up against some giants. 

No matter how impossible your situation looks, your future destination is not determined by your present situation. For some of you it is sickness. You may have even been diagnosed with an incurable disease in the natural, but we serve a God of the supernatural. For some of you it is financial difficulties and for others it is family situations. Two of the twelve spies Joshua and Caleb didn't deny that there were giants in the land, but they came back with a different report. They said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 

The Lord said in Numbers 14: 24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it. As Spirit fill believers, we are not limited to our senses, by our physical conditions or by our present situations, but we could stand on Gods promises. Fear looks at the giants, but faith looks at the promises.
You are not Inadequate
The Lord is saying not to allow the enemy to magnify the situations in your life, and don't look at the giants as unconquerable. Do not see yourself as inadequate but know that with Jesus you are able to take on any assignment that He has called you to. Go forth as Joshua and Caleb knowing that you are well able to possess this land. Go forth in what He has commissioned you to do. Never forget that that as a believer, through Jesus you have a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Numbers 13:27-33 Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan." Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 

But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
Numbers 13:33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

"Word of the Lord For 2015: You Will Overcome Your Battles By His Grace" Phyllis Ford



"Word of the Lord For 2015: You Will Overcome Your Battles By His Grace"
Phyllis Ford, Arlington, TX
The Elijah List

This is the year where the glory of God will bring us into new levels of victory – victories in battle as God moves in, among, and for His people. There will be overcoming battles by His grace and His glory as the Kingdom of God expands and advances in ways only God could bring forth now.

Are You Asking, "WHY?" Here Are Some Encouraging Prophetic Insights For YOU

As many of us enter into this New Year, we will find ourselves transitioning into the place God has called for us to be. So much ground has been covered, and what we perceived to be lost has truly been gained.

As the Lord has begun showing me glimpses into 2015, He released to me Biblical downloads with answers unveiling several types and shadows; these prophetic signposts indicate patterns that will help us proceed on our journey forward.

Let me greatly encourage you by saying you have not been waiting in vain. Nor are you standing still while in pursuit of all that God is preparing for you. But, it is time to be clear as to why things have occurred the way they have. Many have already moved into a new place in the Lord. However, while advancing, some didn't understand what was going on in the midst of heavy levels of warfare. For as they passed over from one phase to another, the intimidating demonic resistance tried to deceive them and get them to give up what they had already received.

Now is the time to standnot in a place where what God said to us can be tossed about by uncertainty and outside influences, but we must stand in the knowing. The knowing is a place where the opinions of others and even ourselves has no power to affect our stance on the promises of God, because they are now knowledge and truth instead of theories and possibilities. 

It's time for us to know what God is saying and to remember the manner in which God is saying it. Observing with discerning eyes what is going on around us must be the order of the day. Proceed knowing that your very movements at this time carries a strength that you have not previously experienced. (Photo via Pixabay)

While we were trying conquer challenges during 2014, it came to our attention that there were issues that needed to be resolved. We needed to receive emotional healing, which included the need to forgive and release things that we could not even understand. But as we came to grips with our weaknesses, the Lord revealed to us hidden strengths. Working through those experiences caused us to come to the end of ourselves, and now He has turned our mourning into dancing!

As we cry out before the Lord with hearts of repentance, we will make great strides. As we embrace the truth of Jesus Christ, having passion for the things of God, we find the strength to dismantle feelings of complacency and battle weariness. The reality is that we shall be a people that the Lord is establishing now.

Those with the greatest passion will be on the front lines, but know that your position doesn't exempt you from going through more of the perfecting process of grace. Those will be led by the Spirit of God if they submit to the process to grow. These are major decisions that must be determined in the hearts of God's people. Those that say I am not a part of this because I am above this, or who say I don't need the Lord's help will find themselves in painful experiences until they submit willingly to God. We are approaching serious times, and the Lord is purifying His people.

For those who pressed into the things of God harder, stronger, and more determined, God pressed out of them things that were no longer needed and replaced them with spiritual strengths that will become a catalyst in the times ahead. We have become more aware of why our circumstances played out the way that they did. Things that we felt would have benefited us were sometimes withheld because if those things had been prematurely released it would have altered the course of our destiny. 

"Why?" Because we had no idea what was coming in 2015. (Photo via Pixabay)

God's Words For Your Situation

"As you look out at what lies beyond this point, you will be greeted by the image of My glory. As you enter in, you will find that every process that you passed through has brought you to the place of My grace and My glory. Now you are on the brink of seeing great things fulfilled before you. Pick up from here, for there is much to be accomplished, and you will marvel as the Kingdom advances. For it will touch and affect everything it passes over.

"New sweeps and changes are on the way. As I refine and purify My people I will work in them, through them, and for them. Prepare yourselves, for all eyes will be upon you, and that which I have placed in you are the keys to overcoming and the wisdom to war."

1 Peter 5:8-11 (KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:8-11 The Message Translation: Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ – eternal and glorious plans they are! – will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, He does.
One of my first downloads from the Lord on the new year was found in the Book of Esther. 

As we transition into 2015, we will find ourselves amongst some twists and turns. Esther best illustrates the narrative of an overcoming people who must deal with the enemies of their day. 

At a close glance it carries so many significant meanings and subplots involving the greatest achievements in its teaching. All of this is a backdrop of Kingdom building. The types and shadows revealed in the Book of Esther will uncover a brilliant wisdom that we must walk out in order to conquer the challenges ahead. (Photo by Tawny Nelson)

The Lord said to me there will be great victories we will experience as we deal with the enemy within us, the enemy within the Kingdom, and the enemy at the gate. For the sake of discussion, we will call these levels one, two, and three.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

Dealing With the Enemy Within Us – Level 1

As individuals of the Kingdom we must go through the process of growth and maturity. In our realization we see that through necessary change we will come out of old mindsets and religious concepts. We will be challenged to remove old habits, attitudes, and behavior that we have allowed to remain which have kept us from progressing. We will see ourselves in how we deal with others and the adjustments we need to make. This will mark a time where we will deal with these issues, or else future consequences of those issues will begin to be more visible. The truth and the revelation that will be presented to us by the Lord will purge us. 

This is an Esther purification, and a true revival will be the result of it in the midst of true repentance.

There will be those who the Lord is raising up with words of resolve, healing, and deliverance that will ignite the hearts of the people to desire higher levels of teaching with greater levels of anointing. The old ways must be removed in order to grow and mature. The glory of the Lord moving forward at increased levels will sweep over our lives for good. This is another level of grace that will be strong in this hour.

More grace = more glory. The power to overcome will be real and tangible in worship, in prayer, and in times of crying out. A boldness will rise up in the truth of God's love and will birth forth those who are ready to move forward. This is where family and personal relationships will be restored. Many strongholds will be removed, with generational curses broken.

Dealing With the Enemy In the Kingdom – Level 2

Level two deals with the Kingdom. It is where we pick up our spiritual responsibility and our accountability in areas of leadership and servitude. It is the place where we offer our service to others while walking out God's plans and purposes according to His standard. (Photo by Donna Smallenberg "For Such a Time as This" viaelijahshopper.com)

In the Book of Esther, Haman was an enemy to the people of God. Despite his position, he set off in his agenda to destroy God's people. Haman began manipulating his position to make God's chosen people appear to be the enemy, when in reality he was the actual enemy. He was an enemy to the kingdom, to the king, and to God's people. In 2015 we will see an "Esther people" come forth to uncover the Hamans of today including some who are within the Church.

There will emerge an apostolic strength with a prophetic anointing that will impact the future and bring the current reality into apostolic order with God's prophetic vision for the Church. More outreach efforts will be realized because the emphasis will focus on unity and compassion for the less fortunate. The need to touch those outside the walls of the Church will spread like a revival fire fanned by the moves of evangelism.

Angelic assistance will shift Church atmospheres. Watch for changes within leadership that will begin to happen in house groups, prayer groups, and within the local churches. The Lord said clearly that the move that we see will not be focused on individuals but corporately ushered in by those who are hungry and willing to be conduits of His life. There will be a strong corporate anointing with power amongst the team.

In 2015, there will be great mysteries that will unlock the significance of the Jewish heritage and within it provide specific strategies to overcome specific enemies of this day. The time from the feast of Purim to Passover will be remembered by many as the greatest time of 2015. In this New Year, history will be marked with highly significant events.

Dealing With the Enemy at the Gate – Level 3

Level three is concerning the gates. In Esther's time, at the city gates of the kingdom, the elders sat positioned. Business transactions were made, and various judicial rulings and public announcements were discussed and decreed. The gate was also where the two servants plotted to kill the king, but Mordecai overheard it and informed Esther of the plan (see Esther 2).(Photo via Pixabay)

At this level that which happens at the gate carries the power to impact the community from various levels in government. 

Social unrest and many other things can be traced back to the gate where key decisions were made and key events took place. As the people of God change (Level 1) and the Kingdom moves forward as one voice (Level 2), we will see it impact our communities (Level 3).

From the gates of the city to the gates of nations troubled by economic woes and violence, there are clear indications that many enemies have positioned themselves at gates – from the local and national gates. The Lord Himself will begin to shake these gates. The convergence of people declaring righteousness will conflict with the enemies of our day. We will have to deal with the gate enemies of poverty to the gate enemies of abortion. These things will be changed by a people transformed, by the Spirit of God, and a Kingdom empowered.

When we become changed at level one we will affect level two, and ultimately the effects of each level will affect each other. This is the time where the people of God will begin to understand that we must become an answer to these pressing issues and not a part of the problem. Prayer, worship, and evangelism will affect the gates as well, but it will be by His grace and glory that regions will be shifted.

The Company of One – Operating Out of a Divine Synergy For a Greater Effect

The Lord began to talk to me about the rising up of a company of leaders who would share revelation knowledge and release strategies in various methods and modes for the training and preparation of an end-time army. This end-time army will consist of various tribes gathered together carrying various expertise, giftings, and anointings with the power to destroy evil principalities that have not yet been conquered.

Those who are of one heart, one spirit, and ofone mind will come forth to battle in heavenly realms in 2015. I asked the Lord what the onestood for; His answer was, "I am the One." And He is gathering one people who will walk in a divine synergy. Synergy means with the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual efforts. 

This company will move in levels of synergy with God and one another to accomplish impossible things, and the glory of God will be heavy in the midst of them. (Photo via Pixabay)

Ephesians 4:4-8 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it says, "When He ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men."

Stop, Drop and Roll - It's Time to Overcome the Fire of Fear by Lee Johndrow

Stop, Drop and Roll - It's Time to Overcome the Fire of Fear 

by Lee Johndrow

Identity Network

A few nights ago, I was questioning my "existence."  I was not discouraged or depressed, but I definitely felt like there was a rabbit hole of sorts about me. My wife was away and God and I were having a powwow about my life. Perhaps I had pulled out my checklist at some point. "This is good. This…not so much. This I do well. This is I stink at, etc…" "Why am I here?" My "WISE" had turned to "WHYS."  Not necessarily the "bestest" of places to be. But I had to work through it.

The next morning I sat here and thought I can move these thoughts I put on paper out into life…or not. "Not" won out for the day. I did not really think about them. (They just sit here in my program with an icon of sorts to remind me to revisit.)  But a conversation with Jacob about reputation and character last night reopened it in my mind. I thought, "Whose report do I believe about me?"

Last night after Jacob and Tina checked out for the night I began to examine a variety of things. Much of what was under the microscope were my beginnings in Him some 25 years ago. (Even as I wrote this I heard Ron Kenoly singing "Whose Report Will You Believe?"  One of my favorites.)  Faith, understanding, broad life changes. Roots! Only a few days I put out an article on faith and it appeared in a large news site, front page. People want and need faith.

Is that not the question on the board for us today? Whose report will you believe? Crisis ought not to drive us. (Unless it is to our knees.) "I will not be moved by urgency!" ought be our cry. I will not be moved!

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Psalm 62:6

The other night I worked through my "I do not feel needed" moment. Unfortunately, my visit with Him revealed many are feeling the same way. For me I had "felt" on the shelf. I was reminded of a tremendous woman of God, Jill Austin, who had written a book I picked up in a meeting with her. It was about pottery set on the shelf before the firing. "What about me? Did you forget me?" And joy comes in the morning!  As I write this today, I am proposing a solution. There are answers!

In a time of reflection this thought came to me. As airlines struggle, hospitals decide and people choose not to gather, it is time for the people of God to declare loudly "Our God Reigns!" Ebola bowed its knee to Jesus 2000 years ago. Time for the enforcement of His Kingdom. Not the reign of fear

How?

Some 20 plus years ago I was part of a small group that traveled to the Midwest to gather with others of faith. (We slept in a Baptist church. So nice of them to provide the same color sleeping gowns. Oops! I was told they were choir robes!) On the second morning we headed over to the stadium. We arrived early as there were to be filled up.  (The previous day it was packed to capacity - some 60,000.)  But they made the decision to NOT open the doors until 10AM and we could not get in. A beautiful day, folks fellowshipped and then it happened. Men turned to face the city and songs of faith and adoration began to break out. Amazing! Everything changed in that next few minutes. "My God", "Hallelujah" and "Awesome God" echoed through the city.

It changed me. It changed the atmosphere. Songs of deliverance and adoration changed the airwaves.

I do not have the full revelation but as disease strikes fear into man, bringing further isolation to man, the enemy is working overtime to remove community and relationship. A few weeks ago I wrote an article on the restoration of relationship and community. I understand that this is testing of the word. (Not just mine, for I am sure there are others.) God's people will overcome. Every little breakthrough you or I make will be a breakthrough. Just as He was Jehovah Perazim in the mulberries with David, so is he today. 

This morning I was thinking about all the things going on in the world. For instance in the disease and sickness world, we have Ebola, Enterovirus D68 and this morning I see leprosy in Ohio. Plus we have a mystery illness bobbing around. Wow! We have ISIS. We have war. Economic slides and destructions. The world is in turmoil. (This is NOT Y2K.2014!)
Why? What to do? How to respond?

First-remove the fear and doubt. There is a fire of fear.
When there is fire - STOP DROP AND ROLL.

STOP (I used to think that meant Skid Tires On Pavement - imagine that!) THE FEAR!

The first is to deal with the spirit of fear. It is gripping people, causing confusion and destruction. The airwaves are jam packed with fear. Even the printed word has power. It has the ability to produce fear. And with each day the world progresses in its fear. STOP! You, the people of God have the ability to change the world. Change the tide. Open the waters of faith and march them on through to the promised land.

What many are calling wisdom is fear. I have said this multiple times in my life. I did not get saved to serve fear. It is time for bold faith predicated on Him and our relationship with Him to stand up. (A few days ago, the city of Houston "had a problem." Houston, your deliverance is coming. Watch for the unknown deliverer to stand in your midst. The city belongs to God!) I thought of my older friends who were raising the dead before it was "popular."  They never backed down. 

And I saw the return of these men and women of faith.
While in South Africa, John G. Lake went through piles of dead bodies killed by the plague. He was looking for bodies to raise from the dead. People said he was crazy and that he would die from the plague. But he was firmly convinced that the Holy Spirit would never allow any bacteria or virus to harm him, and he was right - he never got the diseases he healed.

It is time to STOP not gathering and begin to gather. Do not let fear and crisis overwhelm you. Reach out. Who have you not seen? They need you more than Netflix or sports or the news needs you! THEY NEED YOU! Isolation of men, women and children is not only happening in the hospitals. It is happening in the church! Rise up!

DROP the F Bomb

It is time to drop the F BOMB. That is right. FAITH BOMBS on our communities, our nation and the nation of the world. Drop the fear mongering and drop faith! What does God say about this crisis or that fear? Got questions? He has answers! What disease did He not die for? NONE! ZERO! NADA! If you ever bemoaned this in your season of life - the season has changed. The leaves have fallen and I can see clearly now! Leaves of healing for the nations! It is not enough to have faith in your prayer closet, but will you have faith in the workplace, the store or the school?

ROLL

In the "old" days there were "holy rollers" who shook, rattled and rolled under the power and presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need some rollers. Those that will "roll over" the works of the enemy with powerful words of faith and action. Like a wheel, as they roll, there is no beginning, no end. Steam (Steam is heated up water released into the atmosphere!) rollers of love! (For perfect love casts out fear! 1 John 4:18)

I told my son, "no man is an island. But he is an archipelago." You cannot live alone and be healthy, wealthy and wise. Restore your health and get back in community. Throw down fear and rise up faith.

There is rolling of praise building up. Praise Him. New sounds of praise are coming. New songs of victory and overcoming are happening.

Change the atmosphere. Let your words testify of His greatness. Overcome. As we changed the world in Indianapolis, let us commune with the Lord and break the power of darkness. Let us join His body and stand up. Let us gather today in His name.
I think it is time to ask. Can I get an AMEN?
