The Year of the Horses by Pam Clark

The Year of the Horses by Pam Clark

Infinity Network

The word "year" there can really mean "a season," but what a glorious season it will be!

The Lord gave me a message this morning that He is kindling the fire of the prophets. Prophets are strange creatures anyway because while they are like everyone else, they are also not like everyone else in that another force is active in their lives, an unseen force, and it is one they have to deal with and it gives them an extra "sense" as some call it.

Not all know what to do with this, but it has to be trained to come under the leading of the Spirit. Otherwise they are just "weird" people. What affects prophets is that God is wanting to deal with not just them but others and they have to learn the right way to go about it.

Some get very ego centric - wanting it to be all about them or to revolve all around them - but servants will be glad for the breaks they get that allow them to regroup and refresh so they can go at it and work once again with more clarity. There is a cycle, like a wave. These waves can come at different times as God develops His ministry people, but coming soon is a "common wave" where as a group, the prophets are stirred up together.

Activating the Spiritual Gifts

From this "wave" will be a voice/Voice that will send forth a strong message and people will have to deal with it. Those who want to resist God will resist Him still, but those who want to go forward in Him will work to hear this for themselves in a way that will benefit the common cause of Christianity which is knowing Him more. This revelation will activate the Spiritual gifts and people will go forward in those, and God will be pleased, and then later offer "course corrections" as needed.

The extra "sense" is an extra sensitivity, not always wanted, but once assimilated properly is seen as a gift. Just because someone can paint well or sculpt well or do some other skill well, makes them remarkable, but not different than other people. They are still human but have something that they can offer other people.

And it can be packaged in different ways and be a blessing to other people, but the true gifts point to Jesus Christ. For those who are hungry in heart, the truth will not be denied them, no matter what their circumstances are. For all, some must strive harder than others for certain things but other things will come easy. God is just and fair.

When the Spirit of God moves across the land (the people), there will be a response and a stirring. Some will want to make it "about them," but those who are truly "in Him" will know their servant hearts. They will learn to be wise, yet gifted.

The "giftedness" is really the anointing. And there is an anointing to make all things work and function. But there are times that God will call an alert, or a focus, of something He wants to say.

In the Ark of the Covenant, there was wood overlaid with gold. This is symbolic of how the anointing works. There is a covering that makes it glorious. If you strip it of its glory, it is just wood.

Prophets and Prophetic

We learn how to handle the things of God, and when we do, the fear of the Lord can come into the land or return to it. A prophet is an intercessor between God and man, sometimes pleading to the people for God, and sometimes pleading to God for the people! That is why it is said that not all intercessors are prophets, but all prophets are intercessors.

What I am going to say next will bother some people, but I know its truth. Some people are prophetic, but are not prophets. Those who are prophetic will like the prophetic, will have a sense for it and even understand a lot of it. They will love to serve it and bless it and they will be blessed by it. But an office called prophet has an assignment - and it's not something they always wish they had as it is often challenging and difficult, but it has a purpose in the Kingdom. And they are just servants, not to be idolized or worshipped. So there is a challenge because of that.

Some people who are prophets are not necessarily in with the "in crowd." They live a life of their own because of what is working on them, yet they will be given enough freedom in the spirit to still be human as who they are. We really can take this to all the gift ministries, but God will do the unusual at times through His prophets.

Mostly because He wants to get peoples' attention. But they can't start taking over for God. I harp on this because it's so important to learn. Prophets are not God's "side buddies." They are His friends, but do not have a special ranking over other ministries or people. But "friends" is a pretty great place to be, and you can be one of His, no matter your calling.

You can go from servant to friend, but you must start humble, like a servant. That is a teachable spirit, and one who can deny self to please another. But when God sees a kindred spirit, He will lift them up. But then the process starts all over again in the new realm.

A Move of God is Coming On

But back to what the Lord was showing me, He is kindling a fire, and when the prophets get stirred up together, a move of God is coming on! God showed me a vision of a baby prophet this morning (it was a dream). She was a young girl and she was discerning something that others didn't see. When you are a kid like that, you think everyone sees the same things you do. She was kind of shy, but that is often the kind that God kindles a fire or a force in. Because when they do speak, it comes across as different or unusual and it will get people's attention.

Sometimes they get rebuked. That's no fun, it's spiritual warfare. The "other side" does not like it. But they are learning in God. He has to teach us how to respond. I think many prophets go through that.

But the bells on the horses say "Holiness to the Lord!" You can discern that!  They are ringing out a message.

It's sometimes easier to stay alone close to God, but you also have to get along with people. You have to be challenged for character development.

I don't know everything on this, but I do know that office gifts hold function. They are like the priests in the Temple, they do service. Someone can be more active in Spiritual life and not hold an office but be closer in with the Lord. The offices can perform duties - like performing marriages or administering rites. It's part of the government of Heaven, just like we have a government on earth. Not all government is operating well, but it's still the government. It's there for our good.

But some are impostors. God confirms His Word with signs and wonders following. But you have to know the Word. It is the Word that the Holy Spirit will bring to mind to show you about a matter.

The Spirit will Endorse His Word

I had a dream, but I do not hold that dream above the Word of God. People can have great dreams but we are not subject to dreams - that we have or that others have about us. They are helps, and tools, and God will give revelation through them but it all must balance with His Word. The Spirit will endorse His Word.

That is teaching mode I went into there, but I am hearing the thundering hoof beats of horses! A mighty army is coming, it is the Army of the Lord! Peace, Shalom. When you are where you are supposed to be, you will be okay. If you resist, it will pass you by. If you rebel, you will be lost. If you are indifferent, you will be ignored.

But if you ride, you will go with the Lord! We had the year of the camels; I am prophesying the year of the horses! That means we run with the Lord. Remember what God said to Jeremiah?

Jeremiah 12:5 "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?"

The horsemen (and women) are coming! It means strong prophetic declarations are coming. Group declarations. It will change things. The true word will be endorsed by the Lord.

Because of the apostasy, the backslidings, many may not understand what you say because they have not been taught.  Always be patient because once they learn, they may want to ride with you!  God is calling forth a people and a nation, and they will ride and reign with Him!

Israeli Forces Reportedly on the Ground in Nigeria

Israeli Forces Reportedly 

on the Ground in Nigeria

Tuesday, May 13, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff  
Israeli security forces have arrived in Nigeria to aid in the search for up to 200 young Christian girls recently abducted by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram.
On Monday, international media was abuzz after the publication of a video showing many of the captive girls dressed in Muslim garb (pictured) and reciting passages from the Koran. In the video, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau says the girls will be held and continued to be forcibly converted to Islam until jailed members of his group are freed by the Nigerian government.
The government of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan rejected the demand, and turned to the international community for assistance. Israel was quick to answer the call.
“Israel expresses deep shock at the crime against the girls,” read a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We are ready to help in finding the girls and fighting the cruel terrorism inflicted on you.”
Members of a Nigerian delegation currently in Israel told Channel 2 News that their government had accepted the offer of Israeli aid, and confirmed that Israeli counter-terrorism experts were already en route to the West African nation.
An Israeli military official who just returned from Nigeria told popular Internet news site Buzzfeed that “in the wake of this crisis, Israel increased its assistance and we have been providing support in any manner possible. We have been involved on this from the beginning.”
It was reported that at present, Israeli forces are helping to gather intelligence and guide Nigerian forces on how to best tackle the Boko Haram threat. Some Israeli radio commentators also suggested that Israeli special forces could be taking part in reconnaissance and combat operations.

Syrian Dissidents Look to Israel for Support - ISRAEL TODAY

Syrian Dissidents Look to Israel for Support

Tuesday, May 13, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff  
Hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions displaced in Syria’s ongoing civil war. And still, the international community and the Arab world drag their feet, to the growing frustration of Syrian dissidents, many of whom are now ready to seek aid from even their worst enemy: Israel.
The Syrian arena is being used as a kind of chessboard by world powers and powerful regional Muslim groups. And as the Syrian people are paying the price, it is becoming increasingly clear that Israel is one of the few nations that just wants the fighting to end in a way that is most stable and most secure for all involved.
“The Saudis were the worst, followed by the French, the British and the Americans,” leading Syrian dissident Kamal al-Labwani told The Times of Israel regarding recent Syria peace talks held in Geneva.
Noting that Washington was making the same mistakes it made in Egypt, Labwani said, “More than once I’ve heard Americans say that ‘the [Muslim] Brotherhood must lead this stage.’ We told them: ‘The Brotherhood are extremists, not moderates. This is not Islam which is appropriate for civilization.’”
According to Labwani, the Syrian revolution, like those in Egypt and Tunisia, didn’t have to descend into civil war. It was only after the Assad regime treated demonstrators in a “criminal, unacceptable way” that people began to take up arms. Assad “intentionally humiliated people and killed them in cold blood. This is why the revolution began,” said Labwani.
Of course, with war raging, the situation has been exploited by numerous different radical Islamist groups, many of them originating from outside Syria itself. Nevertheless, there is no turning back until Assad falls. Labwani and many others hope that Israel will increasingly assist in achieving that goal.
“If you want to befriend the Syrians, send a message of friendship. I tell you, my people are ready,” he said.
What Labwani and others want is for Israel to use its influence with America, Europe and Russia to spur more serious action on the part of the international community. Ideally, he’d also like to see Israel directly supply weapons to the rebels, and perhaps even enforce a no-fly zone over southern Syria.

Wild Olive Shoots



"But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches... remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you."

A grove of olive trees in Galilee. An olive tree can live a thousand years or more if not cut down. When it is cut down it will grow back from the stem. It gives beautiful oil, provides shade and reminds us of God's promise.

Let It Be? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin


Let It Be?
- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin

“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:24 NAS


When enough is enough, one has to start pushing back, or even you yourself will start believing that what is being said is the truth. If any agenda is pushed far enough, what you once thought and believed to be right will soon become wrong, and what was wrong will then become what is “right.”

Wrong.

By adding little lies upon another little lie, in time you yourself may start agreeing with the ones who have spoken the longest, and the loudest. Step by step, what was once wrong has now become the new norm, and what was, and still is, truth is said to not really have been the truth after all.

There are agendas being pushed forward in our society which makes it look like “their way is THE way”. What we began hearing back years ago, if even so softly then, has now decades later been brought to the forefront. The local and national media, proponents of a certain lifestyle, have said it long enough, and pushed far enough, where today even those we would have looked to, to be proponents of truth, whether in the church, education, politics or sports, no longer should be counted on for speaking the truth. For they themselves have succeeded in telling us that “this is OK, this is the norm, this is the way it is, so let it be. Just let it be.” They even celebrate and rejoice that “freedom” has now come.

I am not going to “let it be.”

If we stand by and just let it be, that which we know as truth, what we still believe as truth in the Lord’s Word, which is Truth - it will be completely thrown out, trampled down, and ridiculed to the point where those who stand for the Truth will find themselves standing alone. The evil agenda of the demonic forces will have succeeded in deceiving the mass population from the truth. In many cases they already have.

Watching the current broadcast news, listening to the voices in the secular workplace, hearing of that being pushed in the school system, if ever so subtle, has taken us down the road far enough to have given us what was written about in the Bible.
         
“For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are  gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.” Romans 1:21-32 NASU

Truth cannot be written off because people say it no longer is, or have even denied that there was any to begin with. What the Lord God Almighty has written, our Creator, cannot and will not be denied, no matter who say it has, or who has pushed it out of the way. The Lord will have His final say in all this.

“Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” 2 Thess. 2:8-12 NASU

We must stand for the truth. We must not sit back and let our generation, nor our children’s generation, accept that “whatever will be will be”, and that it is OK for each to do as they feel is OK in their eyes.

There is a godly standard. There is a strong foundation of truth to stand on, that will not be changed. There is a time when we must say the “Let it be” words are not what it is to be.

Now is that time.

Elaine Tavolacci: Birthing the Promises of God: "Get Ready to Push"

Elaine Tavolacci:
The Elijah List

Elaine TavolacciIn the New Testament we read about the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary and telling her that she was going to conceive and bring forth a Son, and His name would be called Jesus. Mary's reply was "Behold the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word" (Luke1:38).

The Holy Spirit is showing me that although every one of us are carrying a promise from God, some of us are spiritually tired and emotionally drained. The time of being pregnant with God's promises may be exhausting and seem long term, but don't get weary in the process. A natural pregnancy is measured in three stages which are called trimesters. 

Many of you are in your third trimester. Don't abort the baby because your due date is drawing near. Get ready to push.

"You Are About to Give Birth to What You Have Been Predestined For"

The Lord says, "The water is about to break and you are about to deliver. Stay strong and stay focused during the process. There are gifts that have been lying dormant inside of you and it is now time to give birth to what I have imparted to you.

Doors are about to open for what I have called you to do."

John 16:21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

"Although the waiting has been arduous, you are about to give birth to what you have been predestined for. You may have been in hibernation for so long and are afraid to step out, but now is the time to be released into what you have been created for." 

(Photo via en.wikipedia)

Luke 1:26-28 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"

"In the same way that Gabriel came to Mary and said that she was highly favored, I say to you that you are also highly favored. You did not conceive through artificial insemination but through My Spirit.

"I Will Place People in Your Life Who Are Also Pregnant With the Same Vision"

"The seed that has been implanted inside of you will come into fruition, and My divine presence operating within you will be regenerated. In the same way that Mary was impregnated supernaturally, you will also conceive supernaturally. 

You are also carrying something so valuable that will change the world if you submit to it.

"Just as Mary's cousin Elizabeth was also pregnant and the baby leaped in her womb, I will also bring others to you who are also carrying divine destiny.

I will place people in your life who are also pregnant with the same vision. They are those who are in alignment with the same dream. Together you will work in unison and there will not be any disunity."

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

"Trust Me when you feel that the process is too difficult. Know that it is I who works in you both to will and to do for My good pleasure. Do not say that this is an uncomfortable place, but know that it is necessary to bring you into My purpose and plan for your life. You will know that you are in the third trimester as the discomfort intensifies. Don't try to induce labor before its time, but welcome My plan as it comes into existence.

"This is not the time to give up but get ready to push because you will soon see the fulfillment of the promises that I have for you," says the Lord.
