The End Of The Invisible Season - Garris Elkins

Garris Elkins:

The End Of The Invisible Season

The Elijah List

We are in a season where what has been invisible will now be made known. Those who have gone unnoticed even after years of faithful service will become visible as God confirms and performs His Word in their lives.

As this thought formed in my mind, I saw the dim and partial image of a person walking toward me. With each step forward, their form became more and more visible until they were fully seen. When their image was fully developed, they appeared in a situation where previously they had been invisible.

The Lord is calling His Church into a place of recognition – not for personal recognition, but for the recognition of the presence of the One we carry.

Where answers are needed to save a business, someone will appear who will have a turnaround answer. Where a government is in stalemate, someone will appear in the midst of gridlock with solutions direct from the government of Heaven. Where a family has been bound in deception for multiple generations, a lone believer will finally be recognized and deliver a word that will bring generational freedom.

"I Am Making a Way For You"

As I continued to pray and understand what the Lord was revealing, He spoke these encouraging words for some who feel they are invisible and unrecognized:

"You feel invisible. No one has noticed you. You have tried to be heard, but nothing has worked. You wanted to have an influence for truth and love, only to have your words land on seemingly deaf ears. You think this is a negative – it is not.

I have been keeping you safe until the time I choose to make your presence known.

"There will be a time for you to be seen and that timing must be My choice. Continue to walk forward in this invisible season and you will walk out into a place of visibility orchestrated by My perfect timing. Don't stop moving forward. 

You are able to advance into this new territory because you are not yet seen. I am making a way for you. This is My task, not yours.

"You were created to have a voice and be heard. Make an exchange with Me. Give Me your demand and your need to be heard. In that exchange I will give you a voice – a voice empowered by My Spirit.

"Stay in a Place of Peace"

"Once you are visible stay in the place of My peace. My peace will not be dependent on your surroundings. I am delivering you into this hostile territory for a purpose. The peace you carry and the peace you will experience upon your arrival will be so powerful it will not make sense to you or to those who finally see you. 

The forces opposing My plan will see you appearing within their camp not knowing how you got there. Your revealing will be My surprise.

The peace you carry will become your protection. My enveloping peace will also become the platform from which you will speak. Your words will create breakthrough where there would normally be resistance and opposition. Potential battlegrounds will become places of life and peace."

Netanyahu to Abbas: I expect your help in rescuing our boys

Netanyahu to Abbas: I expect your help in rescuing our boys

June 16, 2014 Israel Hayom

In first conversation between the two leaders in over a year, prime minister says: Terrorists kidnap innocent children, while we save lives of Palestinian children in our hospitals • Yair Lapid urges "zero tolerance toward terrorism."

For the first time in over a year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday, demanding assistance in rescuing three Jewish teens believed to have been abducted by Hamas terrorists.

Gil-ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Frenkel have been missing since Thursday night, when they hitchhiked home from a school near Hebron.

"I expect your assistance in returning the abducted boys home and in capturing the kidnappers," Netanyahu told Abbas. "The Hamas kidnappers came out of Palestinian Authority-controlled territory, and returned to Palestinian Authority-controlled territory."

"This incident reveals the nature of the kind of terror that we face. Terrorists kidnap innocent children, while we save the lives of sick Palestinian children in our hospitals. That is the difference between our humane policy and the murderous terrorism against us. You must understand the implications of your partnership with Hamas -- it is bad for Israel, bad for the Palestinians and bad for the region."

Abbas condemned the kidnapping, issuing a statement saying, "The Palestinian Authority would like to reiterate the importance of not being dragged into violence on any side, especially in light of the fact that our position is that we must continue to work intensively to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners."

Abbas stressed that the "Palestinian security forces were making every effort to maintain peace and stability and to prevent the situation from devolving into chaos."

Meanwhile Monday, the diplomatic-security cabinet convened another special session where defense officials briefed ministers about the developments in the investigation and the potential retrieval of the missing teenagers.

"These teenagers were kidnapped and the kidnapping was carried out by Hamas," Netanyahu told reporters on Sunday, further pledging "serious consequences" should any harm befall the three.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement Sunday that the "United States strongly condemns the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers and calls for their immediate release. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and we hope for their quick and safe return home."

"We continue to offer our full support for Israel in its search for the missing teens, and we have encouraged full cooperation between the Israeli and Palestinian security services," Kerry said.

"We understand that cooperation is ongoing. We are still seeking details on the parties responsible for this despicable terrorist act, although many indications point to Hamas' involvement. As we gather this information, we reiterate our position that Hamas is a terrorist organization known for its attacks on innocent civilians and which has used kidnapping in the past."

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon leveled harsh criticism at the Palestinian Authority Sunday, saying, "The Palestinian Authority, which some call moderate, has just recently struck an alliance with Hamas, a terrorist organization that advocates the murder of Jews and aspires to overrun Judea and Samaria. Hamas is responsible for the abduction of these boys and we will know to exact a heavy price from its leadership, anywhere and at anytime we see fit to do so."

"We need to deal Hamas a massive blow, not negotiate with them," International Relations, Intelligence and Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz told Channel 10 Monday. "Israel's security forces are sparing no effort to find the boys and they're doing a fantastic job. We will continue with our efforts and -- just as important -- we will punish those responsible for this."

Steinitz criticized Abbas, saying that while "Hamas is primarily responsible for the abduction, the PA is also responsible, whether they like it or not. The PA is also responsible because it's cooperating with terror groups."

Finance Minister Yair Lapid, who serves on the Ddiplomatic-Security Cabinet, said Sunday, "The safety and security of the Israeli public mandates the State of Israel exercises zero tolerance toward any act of terrorism and subject its perpetrators to severe punishment. I urge everyone to support our security forces and allow them to do their job using all the resources at their disposal."

Tourism Minister Uzi Landau blamed the U.S. for the situation, saying, "The American administration's willingness to recognize the Abbas-Hamas government is encouraging terror. It has compromised the safety of Israeli citizens."

Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Sunday that security forces were "operating under the assumption that the boys are alive. We will not rest until we bring them back."

Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon said Israel "will know who to exact a price from these heinous kidnappers. Once the three are back we will know how to deal with the Palestinian leadership, as well."

MK Shelly Yachimovich (Labor) said Sunday that "we have to do everything within our power to bring the boys home. Israel's concern for its sons is one of its fundamental values and it makes us stronger -- not weaker."

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi told Israel Radio Monday that officials in the U.S. and Europe were critical of Hamas over the abduction, and added that Israeli missions worldwide were instructed to increase their public diplomacy efforts, specifically by illustrating how the link between the PA and Hamas has contributed to the abduction.

Abbas, he said, was beginning to understand the mistake he made in partnering with Hamas.

Hanegbi stressed that the security collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian security forces was ongoing.

"Our hearts go out to Gil-ad, Eyal and Naftali, and their families. Our security forces are sparing no effort to find them and bring them home," President-elect Reuven Rivlin posted Sunday on his Facebook page.

"One cannot imagine the cruelty and cowardice of those who would abduct young boys making their way home. All of Israel is praying for their safe return."

What America's Failures in Iraq Mean to Israelis

Israelis are growing increasingly skeptical over whether or not they can trust American security guarantees as they watch a previously US-occupied Iraq crumble in the face of a jihadist onslaught.

Over the past few weeks, the armies of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have scored major victories in northern Iraq, and are now said to be moving on Baghdad itself.

One of those victories was the conquest of Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city. Reports indicate that the US-trained and equipped Iraqi army units in Mosul folded like a house of cards as ISIS approached.

Israeli analyst Guy Bechor, a regular media commentator, noted in an op-ed for the Ynet news portal that “the Americans built this army, trained it and have invested tens of billions of dollars in it in the past decade. But its thousands of soldiers have escaped without fighting, leaving their shoes and clothes behind, as well as advanced American military equipment, an airport, hospitals and prisons.”

It is important to note that in addition to pouring so much into building the Iraqi army, US President Barack Obama deemed that force ready and capable of handling the state’s security when he withdrew US forces in 2011.

Why is this important to Israelis? As Bechor explains:

“Those same hallucinating Americans designated a security plan for us in Judea and Samaria, like the plan they designated for Iraq. US Secretary of State John Kerry, with all his security experts, thought that it would be enough to have an American plan on paper in order to stabilize a [Palestinian] regime and a state there.”

In fact, the Americans have played this game with Israel before in the strong pressure applied on the Jewish state to abandon the Gaza Strip in 2005. Not two years later, the US-trained and equipped Palestinian Authority was routed by Hamas and Gaza became a haven for jihadists of all stripes.

Bechor and many other experts are convinced the same would occur in Judea and Samaria - the so-called “West Bank” - if ever the two-state solution were to come to fruition.

'This Was to be Expected'

Terrorism

A prominent rabbi in Israel’s settlement movement said on Saturday night that the nation shouldn’t be overly surprised by the abduction of three Jewish teens by Palestinian terrorists.

“It was obvious that the government’s acquiescence to release hundreds of murderous terrorists in previous deals would send a clear message that [abduction] pays,” Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo told Israel’s HNN, adding that it is “incumbent upon all political leaders, including the prime minister, to admit their mistake and not release another terrorist.”

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman appeared to meet Rabbi Wolpo’s demands when he acknowledged on Sunday that the abduction of Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gil-ad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, 19 (pictured) could be at least partially blamed on past prisoner releases and exchanges.

“There will be no more prisoner releases in instances such as this,” Liberman told Army Radio. “In no way will those who sit in Israeli prisons be freed.”

In its ongoing search for the boys, Israel has imposed a military lock-down on Judea, and IDF troops are reportedly surrounding the city of Hebron, close to where the abduction took place.

Israel has also started arresting leading Hamas officials, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu determined the group was behind the kidnapping. Hebron has a strong Hamas presence.

One of the Hamas leaders picked up by Israeli forces is Hassan Yousef, a Hamas founder and father of Mosab Yousef, who famously aided Israeli intelligence before converting to Christianity and finding asylum in America.

The following video provides a unique perspective from the helmet camera of one of the Israeli soldiers searching house-to-house for the abducted teens in Hebron:

Meanwhile, thousands of Israelis, including the nation’s chief rabbis, gathered to pray for the abducted teens at the Western Wall in Jerusalem:

A New Door Has Opened by Doug Addison - Identity Network

A New Door Has Opened by Doug Addison - Identity Network

A Door Opened in the Spiritual Realm

I released a prophetic word in May about sudden changes coming and the Wind of Change angel. During the weekend of May 30, a new door opened in the spiritual realm that is going to usher in a new season of radical changes for the good.

We had two earthquakes in Southern California and I not only felt both of them, God spoke to me during the shaking.

The first one was on Friday May 30, a 3.8 that was centered in San Pedro (Saint Peter, the rock). I heard the Holy Spirit say to "prepare for something new." It occurred at 8 PM and 8 represents new beginnings. God is going to "rock" things and radical change is on the way.

I felt compelled to "prepare" so I bought some earthquake preparedness items. On Sunday, June 1 just before 8 PM and just as I was installing earthquake straps on our new television, another earthquake rocked the Los Angeles area. These were very mild earthquakes and there was no damage. It was a prophetic sign of something new coming. This is not a judgment word. The first earthquake was 3.8 and the second one happened as I was strapping down my "tell-a-vision". This is symbolic that God is bringing new visions and a new foundation for the way to bring these new visions into reality.

Because the earthquakes both initially registered 3.8, I was drawn to Revelation 3:8 that says:

"I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."

Doors represent new opportunities and seasons. New strength and spiritual authority is coming to those who are weak and have been holding on to prophetic words and promises. The new door has opened and we can expect to see things pick up. I want to share a few things I have learned about responding to something of this magnitude.

Things Often Looks Opposite

As God is on the move and opening news doors, keep in mind that things quite often look like the opposite just before a breakthrough. I keep mentioning this to people because it is crucial to understand this right now. As God is releasing something new in your life don't be surprised if the enemy comes and tries to distract you. 

A mesmerizing type of spirit is working overtime to get you to look at your problems and not solutions. Old thoughts and behaviors may have recently surfaced and during a time we should be excited, we end up feeling discouraged!

We have to be careful that we don't come into agreement with the attack of the enemy.

"Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Matthew 18:18-19 NIV

Here's some good news: stay the course and you will break through the fog. June gloom will lift and July through September will have a different feel and spiritual freedom will come.

Limits are Being Removed

God is limitless so what you can do through His love, power, and strength has no limits as well! You have access to everything you need to succeed. You have peace with God, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you and you have the Holy Spirit and God's network of angels. You God's word and promises and you have friends and people who love you and can pray with you! Yes, you have lots of resources so be sure to utilize them.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 NKJV

"… but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 NIV

The Outcasts are Coming! The Outcasts are Coming!

I have been talking for a number of years about a move of God coming on those who have been outcast from Christianity. There is a group being held in reserve right now that will do things in the Spirit that will be astounding. Currently they don't fit in and they don't realize who they are just yet. Many of them seem hopeless. Some have grown up in church but got wounded and are drifting in life. Most of them feel deep inside there is something more for them to accomplish on Earth but they don't know what it is.

A few years ago God showed me that this group and this new movement coming is similar to Isaiah 44:

"For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. Some will say, 'I belong to the LORD' others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, 'The LORD's,' and will take the name Israel." Isaiah 44:3-5

There's a commitment level coming on a generation of people who have been living in a dry time. They will soon come on the scene and have an amazing commitment to the Lord. My entire ministry and life calling is to help these individuals who are "spiritual outcasts." They are already starting to rise up. They are not really in a particular age bracket but they are the best of the best being saved to come on the scene at the right time. What God is doing right now is starting outside of church buildings and it may look strange at first to those who don't have spiritual "eyes to see" as Jesus said.

If you know someone who fits the outcast description, maybe your children, grandchildren, or someone you love is seriously adrift, here's a promise from God to you for them:

This is what the Lord says: "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded," declares the Lord. "They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your descendants," declares the Lord. "Your children will return to their own land." Jeremiah 31:16-17 NIV

The new is here! Expect to continue to see things happen at an accelerated pace. We are moving into a time that we can accomplish more with less effort. Keys for this new time are to stay at peace and let go of doubt and fear. Ask God to show you what you should focus on specifically for this time.

This is an amazing time to be alive!

Blessings,
