This Season Will Be The Most Productive And Powerful You've Ever Witnessed - Brian Simmons

Brian Simmons:

This Season Will Be The Most Productive

And Powerful You've Ever Witnessed

The Elijah List

I heard Him whisper...

"The season has changed, you have heard it before, but I declare to you: The seasons of time have changed. Eternity is now flooding into time. I am calling you into the 'no time' zone, the realm of eternity within you. This season will be the most productive and powerful you've ever witnessed, for I am hastening My word to bring it to pass.

Long dormant promises will now spring to life as I bring you through the most rapid changes of your life.

"Finances will never hold you back, for I am the God who provides all that is needed and who supplies all that you lack. Never be held back by what you call 'lack,' or 'need,' for I call it 'Miracles of Trust.' As you trust Me, I will open doors of blessing and miraculous supply that you have never even considered. Remain faithful to Me, and I will show you My faithful and miraculous supply. My harvest of the nations will not be limited to the financial structures of men. There will be no limit of resources to see My harvest reached and to see My Bride made radiant.

"This season of change will move you from passivity to passion.

The fire of My love will motivate you to make sacrifices of time and treasure that you have never entered into before. Did I not ask Abraham for his dearest? For then I promised the anointing of taking cities and possessing the gates of your enemies. Great sacrifices will yield great prophetic promises. When I move upon your heart to yield to Me, to go where I send you, to do what I call you to do – even at great personal cost – you will see Me as the Great Provider and the Great Promise Keeper.

"The changes that are upon you will demand that you trust. For in the stretching of faith, you will find Me as never before. Leap for joy, and in that leap of faith, you will find My supernatural presence as never before. Faith leaps for joy! Get ready for the Kingdom of JOY to come even as dark shadows linger in your circumstances. Faith rejoices and will subdue doubts and fears. Watch new miracles flow through the seasons of JOY that I bring to you.

"Be ever ready to open your mouth and share your living faith with those who are near you. I will open hearts – do not I hold the key to unlock the hearts of men? Speak forth your praises, give your bold and courageous testimony, and watch me melt the hearts of men and women before you. A great harvest is now here. Not someday, but now – this day! Tell them TODAY you can come and be with Me in paradise!

"This season of change will be most noticed in your family. I have committed My Spirit and My power to work on behalf of My people among their families. You will see many miracles – MANY MIRACLES – of restoration, healing of relationships, and joy returned to millions of homes across the land. I have blessed marriage and have never lifted that blessing that I first gave to Adam and Eve. The blessing of marriage will be one of the great lights that shine from the Church in this season of change. I have heard your many cries for your family to be healed and restored.

I WILL SHOW YOU MY FATHER'S HEART as I restore, heal, renew, and gather My children with tenderness and respect once again.

As I have forgiven YOU now you must forgive; and the veil will be torn as you speak the words, 'I forgive you.'

"The season of change that you have anticipated has now come. It will be your love for ME that will see you through. Disruptive revelation that brings the shocking truth to the media, to the government, to My Church – this disruptive revelation that overturns the tables of religious profit will bring the righteous ways of My 70 servants that I sent out, taking nothing with them.

New mission strategies will come to you in dreams and through prayers. Great understanding of My mysteries will come to those who sit with Me on My blood sprinkled Love-Seat. The old order is quickly passing away and the new breed is arising, and they will be known as Daybreakers and Dawnmakers.

They belong to Me, and to ME alone. As My fiery servants they will accelerate the changes I am bringing to the earth and will bring My Bride back into the ways of holiness and passionate love.

"Have I not called you to love with all your heart and all your passion? This is the day of ALL, not part. You will see ALL My love and ALL My power at the disposal of those who have sought My face with ALL their hearts. The season of change has come; you have heard it before, but now I declare it: You will never be the same again, for I have placed My hands upon you, My Church and My Bride!"

Timothy, you are God's man, so run from all these errors. Instead, chase after true holiness, justice, faithfulness, love, hope and tender humility. There is a battle raging, so fight with faith for the winner's prize! Lay your hands upon eternal life. for this is your calling – celebrating in faith before the multitude of witnesses!

So now, I instruct you before the God of Resurrection Life and before Jesus, the Anointed One, who demonstrated a beautiful testimony even before Pontius Pilate, that you follow this commission faithfully with a clear conscience and without blemish until the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

Capturing America's Heart: A Third Awakening? - CBN News

Capturing America's Heart:

A Third Awakening? - CBN News

CBN News, Paul Strand
May 14, 2014

WASHINGTON -- Some religious leaders say America is facing a spiritually dark time.

"At the root of America's problem, we really have a spiritual cancer that's been eating away at our nation," Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, told CBN News.

Retired Gen. Jerry Boykin used to fight America's physical enemies overseas. He's now working with the Family Research Council fighting spiritual foes.

Boykin said without a Third Great Awakening, forces like those that took down mighty empires of the past will also bring down the United States.

"We're going to wind up exactly like these other great empires, which only lasted on an average about 200 years," he said. "We're going to completely self-destruct. And you see the beginnings of that now."

***This Fourth of July, a two-week celebration called Celebrate America is being planned in the nation's capital designed to bring hope back to our country. For more information click here.

South Africa-born revivalist Rodney Howard-Browne pastors The River at Tampa Bay, a mega-church in Tampa, Florida.

"In the 1700s, there was a Great Awakening. In the 1800s, there was another. And we have to have one now. It's that critical," he told CBN News.

Bishop Jackson ticked off some of the sins he says are plaguing the land.

"We've got sex-trafficking," he said. "We've got abortion. We've got the resurgence of racism. We've got hatred that is abounding."

Howard-Browne pointed to the epidemics of abortion and illegal drug use in the nation.

"Three-thousand babies aborted every single day in this country. We have over 300 million people; we use over 70 percent of the world's drugs," he said.

God's Not Finished Yet

But Howard-Browne sees a special grace on America.

"Knowing what I know, we should be gone a long time ago," he said. "But it's the believer in this land and the hand of God that's still on America. And God's not finished with this land. So it's time for the Church to rise up."

Those past awakenings led to national transformation.

"Both resulted in extraordinary things happening," Boykin said.

The first in the mid-1700s was a unifying factor for the colonies as it spread throughout them. It awakened in Christians a hunger to live in a land that reflected the God of liberty portrayed in the Bible.

"Ultimately, it brought the American Revolution as the pastors and the people within the Church began to seek a new nation that would give them the kinds of freedoms that they believed were biblical," Boykin stated.

The next awakening in the early 1800s was marked by mass salvations. And as Americans became free in Christ, many could no longer abide the lack of freedom for the nation's slaves.

"In that Second Great Awakening, it brought about the Civil War as the conscience of America was raised to a level that would no longer tolerate slavery," Boykin explained.

The Power of Believers

Gen. Boykin believes the power to save the United States is not in politicians, but in its believers.

"Me plus the Holy Spirit: that's a majority," he said.

Bishop Jackson agreed.

"Awakenings really begin with individuals: people who are converted and transformed," he said.

Now, these spiritual leaders and their allies hope to bring revival power to so many Americans, it will spark a Third Great Awakening.

They'll be holding 14 days and nights of mega-sized meetings and street evangelism in the nation's capital as America celebrates its 238th birthday. They're calling it Celebrate America.

"We've come to light the fires right in the belly of the beast, if you can put it that way," Howard-Browne said.

He believes God sent him and his family from South Africa decades ago to help ignite national revival.

He said God told him, "'There's coming a revival of signs and wonders and the lost.' And He said, 'Go tell the Church to get ready for the coming revival.'"

These Washington-based events will be held in the first three weeks of July. By day, thousands of specially trained Christians will hit the streets of D.C. to evangelize and bring new converts to the Kingdom of God.

"We're just really believing God to cast a Gospel net across the capital," Howard-Browne stated.

Transformation Starts at the Top

If organizers get what they want, a country hungry for unity and leadership will see national political, business, and spiritual leaders humbling themselves as one before God.

"We'll be coming together in the very hub of the nation and crying out to God for Him to transform us first and then transform our nation," Jackson said.

Jackson, Howard-Browne, and Boykin believe that then revival could sweep America.

"If the fear of God would come back in the people, it would have a ripple effect throughout the land," Howard-Browne said.

"The Holy Spirit is contagious," Boykin said with a broad grin.

For this event in Washington D.C. to succeed, the organizers of Celebrate America say they need thousands of Christians who already have the fire of revival burning in their hearts to volunteer in Washington this July.

Howard-Browne said they could have a major impact serving as spiritual soldiers in this war for the nation's heart.

Jackson pleaded, "I'm asking 'We the People' to come help us, if you love America, if you love the nation."

"Oh L-rd fill my heart for I long for Your presence night and day."

The words above sound like those of a worship song, right? Well, this is a song that an Orthodox Jewish man played in a pub in Tsfat (Safed) Israel! Can you hear the longing he has to know G-d intimately? This desire is increasing more and more each day among Israelis, both secular and religious.

I had the opportunity to participate in an open stage night in Tsfat with two of my daughters. Since I hadn't registered previously they only had space for me to sing one song. Before I began to sing I said, "Oh, how I love to sing from the Psalms". After the song the audience, comprised of many Orthodox Jews, exclaimed, "More, More!" Wow, what a hunger and what a privilege to minister to my people!

Sha'arei Tsion (The Gates of Zion)

After I finished singing, three men approached me to see if I could sing on their new CD's! Two of them have already called me and I shared with them about Messiah. One was Orthodox and after I told him I believe in Yeshua he had one question: "What holidays do you celebrate?" After I told him Pesach, Sukkot, Shabbat, etc, he asked what I celebrate in December. I said, "Chanukah, because Yeshua is the light of the world!" His response was, "Well, you're still Jewish."

Let me explain. Recently a dear Israeli friend was recording a worship CD and while in the studio of an Orthodox Jew, she and her husband explained that they are believers in Messiah Yeshua. The Orthodox man replied, "I don't have a problem with the Jewish Yeshua, but I have a problem with the Christian Yeshua."

How we wish that the history of the Church and the Jewish people wasn't so tragic. But G-d used the blindness of the Jewish people to our Messiah to spread the Gospel throughout the world. So the nations were introduced to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And now after 2000 years, G-d is removing this blindness that we've had and fulfilling His promises to restore Israel. "A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." Romans 11:25

Praise the L-rd for His faithfulness to keep His promises and for pouring out wisdom and favor upon His sheep and dreams and visions upon His prodigals!

"For I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation - that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written, 'The deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. This is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.'" Romans 11:25-27

"Supernatural or Just Remarkable"

Booklet testimony:

"I had bought just one copy thinking that it would be interesting reading but found it had a very powerful message that had to be shared. I gave my copy to my son, who after reading it, passed it around to his fellow workers. One young man from a Lutheran background never knew that Jesus was a Jew."

"Then a friend gave me another copy to send to my grandson. He had accepted Yeshua as a young boy but many disappointments in his life led him to believe that there was no G-d. After reading the booklet he decided there is definitely a G-d and now his heart is once again open to the Gospel! So now I'm passing around your booklets to friends and praying that their hearts will also be open to the Holy Spirit."

The booklets are available via our website and make a wonderful gift for your Jewish friends and family!

Would you like to live in a house with an Israeli-Moroccan Jewish family (believers) and learn Hebrew? Small swimming pool, three meals daily (the wife is a fantastic cook!) and laundry provided. It's only $120 per day per person or $200 for a couple. This is less than what you'd pay for a hotel room alone! Come for a week or two and see your Hebrew soar. Contact us for more details. תודה רבה

VERY GOOD NEWS!

After receiving over 24,000 hits on social media ads from the "Supernatural" booklet, our son Ariel and Richard continue to work, along with the blessings of Pastor David Davis of Kehilat Ha Carmelin Haifa, on the second booklet and new evangelical websites. Thank you for partnering with us - we're so grateful!

Another sign of the times? Rain in May is highly unusual but last week we had a huge rainstorm - Let it rain!

Recently while praying on the Golan with friends from Sri Lanka, we gave away Psalm 91 bandanas and gifts to soldiers and hitchhikers. The openness of heart here in the Land is astounding, praise G-d! Thank G-d for so many opportunities to shine for His glory at recent events for Holocaust survivors too!

After a day of touring in the Galilee, please come over to our home for the

Living Stones Experience

and join us for worship, Israeli folk dancing and sharing how G-d is moving in our midst today. Dinner will be served on our balcony with a magnificent view of the Golan, Kineret and Jordan Valley - enjoy!

Thank you for your love, prayers and support! Our hope is to worship the King of Kings and raise up informed intercessors for Israel and partners in outreach to the lost.

Blessings in Yeshua's love!

VIDEO: A Little Truth About Israel's West Bank 'Wall'

Israel’s security barrier separating parts of the so-called “West Bank” from Israel-proper is an easy target for anti-Israel propagandists. Especially surrounding Jerusalem, such as on the outskirts of Bethlehem, the barrier becomes a monstrous concrete wall.

A structure like this is effortlessly transformed into a symbol of discrimination, collective punishment and even apartheid by those whose only goal is to smear Israel.

But is that the truth of the security barrier?

In the following video, Attorney Calev Myers of the Jerusalem Institute of Justice, which has done much to protect the rights of Messianic Jews in Israel, presents some hard, simple facts regarding “the wall”:

Christians Violently Attacked Near Bethlehem

Christians Violently

Attacked Near Bethlehem

Topics:

Christians

The Feast of Saint George, a pretty important holiday for Palestinian Christians, recently ended, but it didn’t end well for those celebrating at the festival’s focal point, the Monastery of Saint George near Bethlehem.

Saint George’s Monastery is located in the village of al-Khadar, which is the name used for Saint George in Arab culture. Every year, Palestinian Christians, and even some Muslims, gather at the monastery, as well as at other locations throughout the region, to commemorate George’s martyrdom and dedication to his faith.

During this year’s festival, which occurred on May 6, the Christians gathered at Saint George’s were beset by Muslim provocateurs and assailants.

Lela Gilbert, author of Saturday People, Sunday People, Israel through the Eyes of a Christian Sojourner, provided an initial report to CAMERA:

“Some local Muslims either tried to park a car too close the church and/or tried to enter the church during a service honoring St. George - the initial instigation isn’t clear. But when the intruders were asked to leave, one of them stabbed a Christian man who was outside the church serving as a guard. He was hospitalized. Several then started throwing stones at the church. 7 or 8 Christians were injured and some physical damage was done - broken windows etc. The police didn’t show up for an hour.”

One of the victims managed to record a portion of the attack on his cellphone and uploaded the footage to YouTube, where it has since been seen by over 20,000 people. And still, media coverage of the attack has been sorely lacking. Perhaps everyone is too busy furiously criticizing Israel over a few youth scrawling graffiti.

The Christians in the video, including crying children, can be seen cowering in fear as they are besieged by Muslim hooligans whom the authorities did very little, if anything, to stop.

This is from the same Bethlehem where Christ at the Checkpoint organizers say Christians and Muslims live in harmony; this is from the same “Palestine” the international community labels as “moderate” in its justification for establishing yet another Arab state; and this is happening, right next door, as everyone ignores realities and accuses Israel of abusing minorities, of being an “apartheid state.”
