"We're In This Harvest Together!" - Cindy McGill, Salt Lake City, UT - THE ELIJAH LIST
"We're In This Harvest Together!"
The Challenge is Real
With this new year, like every year prior, our aim is to be a pro-active force in the world we live in. The challenge is real. There are many arenas that we target to bring the "Good News" into, and each year the need to see lives made whole gets more demanding. People are being swept up in today's society and cultural demands.
The sex-trade and adult industry is growing like a tidal wave, taking captive our young people and those so easily persuaded to invest in this industry. It's one of the most destructive arenas in society today. The statistics are staggering. Porn sites are visited more often than Google, MSN and Yahoo combined. Images of porn are now common on snow boards, video games, children toys, TV shows and just about everywhere you look in advertising and marketing (statistics found at www.fightthenewdrug.com).
At independent film festivals, porn films are quickly becoming more and more selected as there are no ratings on these films to allow every age to attend the viewing. As a result, young people are becoming more and more desensitized to pornographic images which move them further away from healthy relationships.
Recently, a strip club in Vegas had a huge sign out front offering jobs to graduating seniors from high school to strip to earn money for college. (Photo via Cindy McGill)
Last year, our team asked the girls involved in this industry three questions:
1. Question: How did you get interested or involved in this type of work?
Answer: Most were "shopped" off of the internet after posting innocent modeling pictures of themselves to ads looking for models. They were approached by porn scouts within 24 hours of the original posting. Others had friends already in the industry and were convinced it was a way to make money for college or to support themselves.
2. Question: If were independently wealthy, what other career would you be focused on?
Answer: Most would do humanitarian efforts to meet needs of people in third world countries.
3. Question: What is your 3-5 year goal?
Answer: Not many even had one. The ones who did were choosing school or furthering their education somehow. Some were looking at the medical field, some into law, but mostly, their future forecast wasn't given much thought.
God's Love Never Fails
Knowing that it's the kindness of God that leads people to change and engage Him, it's our determined effort to be present in the places that need to know He is kind, forgiving, loving and non-condemning. Psalm 139:7-8 states that there is no place we can go from His presence. Even if a bed is made in Hell, He is there. His love doesn't have measurements. It has no beginning or end and cannot be stopped by the torrent of many waters.
If His love is so unstoppable, so relentless and so passionate about reaching those Jesus died for, we cannot lose in outreach efforts.
As moms, we offer the girls affirmation and value, looking at their hearts where God looks, and most of them break down crying in our arms, asking for "one more hug".
Please Consider Giving to This Cause
This is our 6th year bringing dream interpretation teams and outreach teams into porn conventions all over the country. Thirty team members will partner with Patricia King and XP ministries in reaching into this harvest field to offer love and support and answers to girls looking to make choices into wholeness.(Photo via Wikimedia)
We could use your help and support. We have a booth at these events, registration, lodging, transportation, decoration and gifts to give out at our booth for the week long outreach. This outreach is not an easy one emotionally, spiritually and physically, but we are determined to see these young girls meet their true destiny path.
To donate, there is a link on my website for "donate to outreaches"www.cindymcgill.com. Or if you want to donate through Patricia's site, it'swww.xpministries.com. Also watch our recent interview for God TV athttp://www.xpmedia.com/video/16732/extreme- evangelism.
Cindy McGill's passion to help people find their lives' purpose, receive healing from life's trauma, and live their lives to the fullest. She travels internationally, teaching on the subject of dreams and dream interpretation. She also leads "dream teams" using innovative methods to help others discover the hidden meanings behind their dreams and give them a chance to find hope and truth at their point of need.
Since 1979 she and her husband Tim have given their lives to helping people redefine their lives and find healing and direction. They have two grown daughters and four grandchildren.

"Word of the Lord for 2016 and for the Month of January - Part 1" Phyllis Ford, Arlington, TX - THE ELIJAH LIST
"Word of the Lord for 2016 and for the Month of January - Part 1"
The following is a compilation of dreams, visions, and utterances I received from the Lord concerning the coming year 2016.
One of the things that the Lord revealed to me were words that would be frequently used in 2016. These words will have great significance in the media, in Biblical teaching, and in other arenas where people will be open to hear and understand.
The two words that will be repeated over and over throughout the year will be "LOVE" and "LIES." I had a significant vision while in prayer; in it, the Lord said that people would either focus on the foundation of His truth, which is His love, or focus on the lies of the enemy. The choice will be ours. (Photo via Pixabay/Tawny Nelson)
The Lord showed me that in this season "lies" will be exposed. He revealed to me a divine strategy that will come in the release of revelation. Along with that revelation will come a sound from Heaven through praise and worship. This sound will carry another level of anointing to tear down and destroy the enemy's resistance by the release of strong apostolic prayer.
Prophetic Insights Coming Out of 2015 and Entering into 2016
The word for the year of 2015 was "rest," but the word for the year 2016 is "love." We are coming out of the season of rest in the Lord, but with the knowledge gained in the resting place.
This rest displayed our ability to yield to the presence of God, trusting that He was in control of our lives in 2015. We watched and observed the Lord move and work in our lives, while waiting and resting in Him. In that time, He prepared us for the next journey. The rest we were to enter into was the kind where we relinquish our ability to fix, manage, and control things. Not all of us rested in the time of rest.
Yielding during the time of rest was key for us to learn.
If we didn't properly yield in 2015, we will have to yield all the more in January 2016. For those that fought the rest, they must now press for what they missed during the time of rest. Despite it all, a window of redemption is coming in January 2016, and those that fell out of sync with last year's rest can reconnect and push forward, not missing a step – this time allowing the Spirit of God to move unencumbered on their behalves in every facet of life. We will find that yielding has everything to do with humbling ourselves and having a teachable spirit.
As we walk through this year where the key word concerning 2016 is love, we have to look at a few things to come into a full understanding.
We need to look at what the ministry of reconciliation truly is about. We must also look at the Father's love and consistently walk in mercy and forgiveness toward us and others. (Photo via Pixabay)
Along with this truth we also see how the blessings of the Lord operate in us and for us while others are touched, healed, and receive a greater dimension of His grace. These truths are beneficial, and as a result we also understand how to forgive and release others and speak the healing words of blessings upon their lives. As a result, they will begin to bloom and prosper in this new place of restoration.
The fullness of love doesn't just forgive but adds another dimension, which includes the impartation of God's breath upon one to build and create. What is potentially present now comes just as a flower transforms from a seed, and it grows, taking on form and becoming something beautiful according to the origin of the intent from which it was created.
There is a prophetic dimension that calls the sons and daughters into alignment in the earth. We will see this grow and unfold more in 2016.
We will become a part of that process as we continue to see ourselves as we look more and more like the Father. The image that has now come forth looks less like the flesh and begins to mirror Him in the Spirit.
This transformation is occurring as we come to grips with that which we must conform to in order to be transformed. The conforming process means that we walk in a total acceptance to what we are to be by keeping our eyes upon Him and not upon us. His Word is very powerful, and so is the way we see Him.
The more we acclimate ourselves to who He is and what His ways are, the further we progress in that transformation.
We must seek to know Him so that we are able to understand the spiritual aspects of ourselves in a new and better way. We then lay hold to who He is and who we are so that the transformation process can begin to bring forth harvest.
His Words: Lies Versus Love
"I will expose the lies of the enemy in the government and in the Church. Many lies will be uncovered in this hour, as they have had a deep impact on the hearts and the minds of the people.
In this time you will see an uprooting of lies. You will hear a repetition of this word (LIES), as this will be a part of what I am doing in 2016.
For during these next two years, there will be uncovering of previous back door deals, alignments with countries, even ungodly agreements with individuals that will be looked upon as damaging to the very core issue of your nation.
"For you are in a season where many nations are literally standing at a crossroad. There has been a descending of morals and values that were once founded in Me. Now the foundation that has been built up by men is crumbling at its core. (Photo via Victor Vizu/Wikipedia)
"But know that in the very midst of this, I shall raise up a people who are not afraid and have been through some of the hardest struggles: Overcomers, for they will lead many into the light in the midst of a descending darkness.
It is unfortunate that many major nations have fallen into the hands of unscrupulous men.
"But My people who have become rooted in My Word and resolved in the secret place of prayer will carry a powerful overcoming anointing to withstand and uproot the lies of the evil one. For this is a time of re-planting: a re-planting of My words, My strength, and the truth that will refuse to dwell in the midst of the lies. For the lies will be uprooted, and the ground will be cleared.
"The ground of peoples' hearts, the ground of peoples' minds, and the ground of peoples' spirits will be cleansed. The land will be cleansed with My love, mercy, and purity of purpose that will be planted into the ground. It will purge and uproot that which was sown by the enemy.
This is a time and an hour for a great cleansing to take place: unto the people, unto the land, and unto the Church. This cleansing will cause a re-turning and a changing; and in that turning and that changing, My people will be delivered, healed, and prepared."
The Process of Restoration
"There will be a restoration, a return to the place of original intent, and a return back to ground that needs to be taken in the realm of the spirit. There will be a return back to those things that I have called My people to accomplish. I will work generationally, and I will take My people into a deeper depth of the anointing and into the power of My grace in My love. For this will be a part of that which I have placed upon them that they may grow. In this time of planting, do not feel that the planting is to destroy you, but the planting is to restore you.
"I will even take this season of restoration and will unveil the seedlings within the plant of its origin, and you will see My purpose purify the hearts and minds of My people.
They will become ready, they will come forth, and they will move forth to do the things that I have called them to do in this season. Then you will understand the re-digging of the wells and the replanting of My Word, as it called to take root and bear fruit as My plan becomes activated in this hour. (Photo via Pixabay)
"Know that the other four-letter word that you hear will be 'love.' For I am restoring love in My house for the basis and the foundation of all things.
This love will be rooted, grounded, and planted in those who represent Me. Many have said that this nation is over and that there is nothing more that can be done, but I will do great and mighty things. For I will work through love, and My love will draw many into the Kingdom. My love will heal, My love will restore, and My love will purify hearts. It will lead and guide many of those that are lost and crying out in this hour."
Love Will Carry a New Sound in the Earth
"For they will hear the sound of love and the melodies from Heaven that will arouse and awaken them in this night season. The pain of the past will be washed away by the sound that will echo from the Heavens to this earth. The earth shall quake from the sounds heard from the Heavens and will respond with gladness of the re-birthing that I will do in this time.
So, open your hearts and open your ears that you may hear what I am saying to you now. For I will directly speak into your lives. And answers, solutions, and resolve will come with the sounding of My voice as I speak to you during this night season.
"Listen and hear, for I speak to you with words of wisdom and truth that will fill you with great light. You will connect with and understand what is being said. You will move forth in the land, for My love will carry a sound. It will carry an anointing, a glory, and a grace that many will hear and heed the call. For with loving kindness I have drawn you in. For now My love will cover and restore so many who are wounded and battle-weary. Even those who have given up."
Understanding the Power of Choice
"So I say this day you must make a choice: Will you allow the lies of the enemy to rule your life? Or will you allow the love that I have placed upon you, the everlasting love, a love that will never die, and a love that will never end to work upon your life? For if you do, you will never be the same. So, allow this love to heal you and allow yourself to be yielded to that place of peace called love.
I will fill you and restore you with fresh oil and the new wine of My Spirit. Remember, love will be a buzz word that you will hear as I whisper peace into your life and joy into your soul.
"My people, I say, you must decide! For in this hour you will be either motivated by love to reconcile others with hearts of forgiveness, mercy, and compassion, or you will allow the lies of the enemy that bring forth hatred, prejudice, evil, bitterness, and unforgiveness to overshadow your soul.

"There is a breeding ground from that which will come from an evil root. Much has occurred because they relied upon their own strength, upon their own abilities, and upon their own mind to settle the problems of the day. But I say to you, return back to My Word. If you study My Word, live in My Word, and walk in My Word, you will see I am a redeemer of people with a love that is able to destroy that which was broken and breathe into it new life."
I Will Raise Up New Voices: Hollywood and Even Comedians
"I will raise up mouthpieces in the media and Hollywood. For I will speak through them and through the writers of Hollywood productions and comedic writers. I will move, change, and even influence a group of people, for I will write through them and speak through them, and My people will listen from near and far.
I will touch a people who have not been touched or even moved, and they will be moved by the testimonies that I will tell through those lives.
"I will speak to a people where there has been mocking, even curses that came from those lips, and I will cause My blessings to spring forth out of those same mouths. For I have a redemptive purpose, and I will redeem that which I desire to redeem.
I will bring forth that which I desire to bring forth, for I am their healing and saving God, and I shall change the words of men. I shall speak, and they shall harken unto My voice, and I shall turn their hearts and change their minds, change their behavior, and change their lives.
"For I will call them forth to be mouthpieces in the hour when none would ever suspect it. I will use them as I pour forth My Spirit upon all flesh – and even the flesh of them who have turned their backs on Me. For did I not do it as Saul became Paul? So shall I do it now, and I shall bring it to pass.
"In that hour, it will happen to those whom I will prepare.
Know that I am going to change Hollywood.
I am going to change voices, and even through comedic voices shall I change lives. For I shall transform their lives and remove the dross off of them. I shall put on them new garments. I shall turn their ears and their mouths.
For they will speak My words; they will bring forth joy not folly, not mockery, and not those things which shall harm. I shall make them new. I shall mend hearts and minds," says the Spirit of God. "I have held them for this season, and that which mocked and scorned will speak forth My blessings and My joy. And the joy of salvation shall be upon My people, and they shall be healed and rejoice."

French Canada: People & Region
"I speak to the French Canadian regions and say, 'Rise up, O Canada! Rise up, O Canada!'
I shall take this people and use them, making them sharp threshing harvest instruments having teeth. They shall thresh and bring down great mountains; they shall thresh through great hindrances; and they shall break through and become harvest instruments in 2016.
"Watch the month of September. For in that ninth month, I shall do great and mighty things. I shall do such great things that people will look upon that region and will say, 'Look at what has happened in that region!' Look at what is stirring, look at what is coming, look at what is ahead, and look at what has been established.
"Prepare yourselves through prayer and fasting. Prepare for visitation. For I shall speak to the intercessors of that region and say, 'Rise up, O Canada, for I call you unto Me.'
It will be known as a place of revival, and revival fire will burn there. For I will fire baptize those who yield themselves to Me, and they will come forth. The Jews out of those regions will come forth and Aliyah. For they will return to their land and they will rejoice, for they will be going home. What you will see in this region will spread over My land and cross over the waters, for the move of My power has begun." (Photo via Pixabay)

Israeli Kids and Their Smartphones - Aviel Schneider ISRAEL TODAY
Israeli Kids and Their Smartphones
Friday, January 08, 2016 | Aviel Schneider ISRAEL TODAY
Israeli children are increasingly addicted to smartphones and television. According to a new report, 83 percent of Israeli children and adolescents aged 8–15 are in possession of a smartphone, and 93 percent of these children use their mobile devices for at least four hours every day. Half of all Israeli children said they received in excess of 100 Whatsapp messages daily.
These are just a few of the worrisome details to emerge from the annual statistical report by the National Council for the Welfare of Children, highlighting a range of trends among Israel’s 2.7 million children, roughly 33 percent of the population.
Half of those interviewed in the study said that already within the first 15 minutes after waking up every morning they are on the Internet, most often in order to connect with friends via social networks like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat.
What was particularly troubling was the fact that because of the growing amount of time they spend online, nearly half of all Israeli children have already been exposed to some manner of sexually negative content.
Today, life is increasingly interconnected and revolves around the devices that make that possible. The world is literally in the hands of our children. And despite all the risks that carries, a world without smartphones and the interconnectedness they provide is no longer conceivable to the next generation.
