"Speak to the Land! A Season of Harvest and Reaping!" - Danielle Dixon The Elijah List

Danielle Dixon: "Speak to the Land! A Season of Harvest and Reaping!"

The Elijah List Nov 5, 2018

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

WE all know that the harvest is ripe ...over the nations of the earth!

I know God is calling many of you to take Promised Lands and some of these are filled with giants. But God did not give us a spirit of fear.

Read this awesome word of the Lord by Danielle Dixon of Australia:

I heard the Lord say, "You are to command a harvest in your families, regions, cities and nations. Speak to the land and command it to yield an increase."

He went on to explain that the earth is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to come forth and to start using the dominion God gave them in the garden. Mankind is to subdue things, to rule over them. It's not OK that whole regions are under demonic strongholds and principalities. It is time to see these kingdoms fall and for powers to be dethroned. This is the time to see God's Kingdom rule in the earth.

Be encouraged that if God called you to it, He will back you up! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Speak to the Land! A Season of Harvest and Reaping!"

Danielle Dixon, Queensland, Australia

A Vision of the Harvest

Since we entered the new Hebrew year 5779 (2019) in early September, the Lord has continually spoken to me and given very clear instructions regarding this new season. As we have heard from many prophetic voices around the world, I believe this season depicts "The Harvest."

The Lord gave me a vision of this harvest. In this vision I saw the earth covered with large harvesting machines in every nation. The fields were white. I had a knowing these machines were working day and night. When I looked closer into the picture, each harvester was made up of people from every tribe, tongue and nation. It was hard to tell them apart. Everyone became one, all working together.

2019—a Season of Reaping

"The only way creation can be set free is by speaking to it."

"Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so, the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field." (Zechariah 10:1)

We have been crying out many years for the former and latter rain, like so many of God's people covering the earth. The Lord says, "I am that rain you are crying out for, I am coming for My harvest. You are the harvesters."

"Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6:3)

The Lord spoke to me and said, "The former and latter rain have one purpose: to bring forth the harvest. Many have asked Me for this as if it were to fill a room, but this rain will not be contained in a building." Then the Lord expounded by saying, "All of creation is groaning for the sons of God to rise up and speak to the land, and command an increase."

God's DNA in the Earth

I strongly sensed that this is not a season to go back and lay the rudimentary foundations over and over, repenting for dead works. This season which the Lord has been showing me is one that is locked into a forward momentum. We can accelerate this momentum with our words. The earth's atmosphere is filled with God's DNA, charged with creative power. The earth's DNA is structured to respond to the voice of the sons and daughters of God.

A Time of Pressure and Preparation

2018 was a year of pressure and preparation, where hidden things were brought to light in our lives, ministries and nations for us to deal with in preparation of the harvest. Our Father has had many people on this journey over the past few years. The Lord released a greater dimension of understanding about the courts of Heaven to the Body at large, so we could see the things that have been blocking our blessings; so that we could repent on behalf of ourselves and our forefathers, asking the Lord to remove the legal rights satan had held.

The Father has prepared a mighty army of harvesters; mostly of unknown names. They are about to come out fighting! Those who survived adversity, schemes and strategies of the enemy for many decades—who have fought for their families, regions and nations. Although weary, their voices are filled with relational authority and a determination in their hearts, knowing that they have not come this far for nothing, and that no one will stop the harvest. They have sown in tears and shall reap in joy.

There is Increase in the Land

I have been asking the Lord, like many others, for blueprints for the harvest. He has given me many Scriptures over the last few months. I will share a couple, along with what was downloaded to me about commanding a harvest to come forth. (Photo via Unsplash)

"Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us." (Psalm 67:6)

"Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them." (Ezekiel 34:27)

"Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase." (Psalm 85:12)

What do these Scriptures mean? Just good crops, rivers flowing and deserts blooming? No, it's so much more. Interestingly, they are saying there are promises attached to the earth yielding (bringing forth, birthing, yielding increase). It is a gift relaying God's goodness, His blessing, and it's for people to know Him. The land yielding increase will bring freedom and it will bring deliverance. He will break the yokes and deliver us from the hand of the enemy. There are so many promises connected to the land "bringing forth" in the Word of God.

To Subdue and Rule Over

Why has there been a cry in the land for reformation over these last few decades—fathers returning to the children, children returning to fathers? So that sons and daughters could be birthed with relational authority.Orphans don't have dominion. Sons have dominion. Orphans don't know they have an inheritance. The harvest is our inheritance.

"The earth's DNA is structured to respond to the voice of the sons and daughters of God."

I heard the Lord say, "You are to command a harvest in your families, regions, cities and nations. Speak to the land and command it to yield an increase."

He went on to explain that the earth is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to come forth and to start using the dominion God gave them in the garden. Mankind is to subdue things, to rule over them. It's not OK that whole regions are under demonic strongholds and principalities. It is time to see these kingdoms fall and for powers to be dethroned. This is the time to see God's Kingdom rule in the earth.

Setting Creation Free

"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God." (Romans 8:19-21)

Here we read that creation is in bondage. When God is not ruling in an area it puts everything into captivity; including the seed sown in the soil of the area. If God's dominion is not in an area, then satan's will take over that territory. Where the Spirit of the Lord is in the land, there is freedom. Where there is freedom, there is blessing and prosperity.

This passage also talks about glory being revealed when the sons of God are revealed. Creation is set free to create. The only way creation can be set free is by speaking to it. We are hard-wired to create the way our Father does. He spoke, and it was. When the land yields its increase, it is God's power dominating in an area. It releases freedom to create whatever is needed. We all know of regions that have strongholds over them, that seem trapped in death cycles. We will see the opposite as we start commanding the land to yield its increase. We will see blessing, abundance, overflow, excess, and goodness.

Demand, Decree and Declare

The Lord also spoke to me, literally, about seeing the visions of families, regions, cities and nations fulfilled in this season. There has been a yearning in the land of hopelessness and despair. Will the prophetic promises ever come to pass? (Photo via Unsplash)

"Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: 'The days go by and every vision comes to nothing'? Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.' Say to them, 'The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled.'" (Ezekiel 12:22-23)

The Lord is saying in 2019: "Demand, decree, declare that every vision will be fulfilled." Our Father is the husbandman waiting for the precious fruit if the earth. We are the harvesters.

"Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains." (James 5:7)

The Lord says, "The nations are ripe for the harvest!" (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

How to Receive a Spirit-Inspired Vision—And See It Come to Pass

My grandfather often tells his congregation a story that took place many years ago when he pastored a very small church in Newburgh, New York. I love hearing the story because it involves me. I've always loved church. Moreover, I've always loved seeing churches grow. One day when I was about 7 years old, my grandfather and I were sitting at home talking. All of a sudden he said, "Let's go down to the church." I quickly got dressed, because I loved to go to the church with my papa. He took me into the empty sanctuary. Stood me in the back, and said, "Close your eyes." So with a great smile on my face, I closed my eyes.

Wondering what my grandfather was up to, I quickly opened one eye and closed it just as quickly when I saw him looking at me. He said, "Marcus, imagine the church being full of people." I waited about ten seconds, and he then asked me, "What do you see?" I said, "Papa, I don't see anything." He began to laugh hysterically, hoping that my answer would have been that I saw the church full. But being 7 years old, I only knew to say exactly what my eyes let me see, which was darkness.

What I found out later in life is that my grandfather wanted me to use my imagination and see the church full of people. He saw it, and that vision actually came to pass. That's the way God invites us to see the invisible. He will allow us to be in a place that needs to be developed, and He will challenge our faith by pushing us to see what we don't see.

Our waiting season is like this as well. God will put us in a position and tell us to close our eyes and see into the future. It is as 1 Samuel 12:16 says, "Even now, take your stand and see this great thing which the Lord is doing before your eyes. read more

Restoration of Relationships (Part 2 of 2) - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Restoration of Relationships (Part 2 of 2)

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free — and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.

15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God… (I Corinthians 12:12-28, NKJV)

When I wrote the first Now Think On This - Restoration of Relationships message last week on the Lord wanting to restore relationships, I thought it was a one-time deal. But this morning in my time with Him (Nov. 5, 2018, at 4:45 am) He, the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, said there was a Part II to be written. (Maybe in a few days there will be a Part III!)

So, as it is my desire to hear and obey the Lord, Who knows all, this is Part II. (You can read Part I here: Restoration of Relationships Part I.

Briefly, in Part I, I made a comparison that as the Lord God of Israel was returning His chosen ones back to the Promised Land (Eretz Yisrael – the land of Israel), so He simultaneously was also drawing His church Body back together. As with Israel in the natural, so with the Church in the spiritual. Within His Body on earth, He is bringing both believing Jew and Gentile back together as one, His One New Man, even as it was in the first century.

Joshua Aaron's "Bring Us Back"

As I allowed the Holy Spirit to reveal even more of what He wanted to share now, I strongly felt in my spirit that He wants the fallen, those who quit the race, the down and out, former members of churches, to be brought back. I could hear Joshua Aaron singing “Bring Us Back” in my head. Our Lord, Father God, is crying out for the Jews in the world, scattered through the Diaspora in centuries gone by, to make aliyah, to come back to Israel. With the same heart as that, the Lord is wanting the Christians, those who were strong and flourishing members of our churches in days gone by, to come back. He needs them. We need them.

Personally, I can think of many whom I loved and walked within the past, in the several churches Laurie and I have been with.

Guys like Dave and Michelle, so giving of themselves in serving the leaders, and yet getting hurt, and leaving. Where are they now? Come back!

Mike, who could really play that electric guitar on the worship team Laurie and I led. Mike, come back!

And Bob and Bonnie – our “right arm joint”, who sought the Lord together in the Watch of the Lord so many days gone by. If you are not in a fellowship this day, somewhere, come back!

Kelly – I love you man! Restoration is always possible with our Lord Jesus!

I wholeheartedly believe it is the Lord’s immense heart, in these end of days, to bring restoration of relationships, from the years, maybe even decades or so ago, back together again. Restoration of these vital body joints, Body members that once were, are so needed together again. We can complete and fulfill the Lord’s plans and purposes. That is His ever-reaching out heart.

We know that the sadistic enemy does not play fair. He is evil, bankrupt, and continually seeks to “kill, steal and destroy.” But he doesn’t have the final say!

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (I Peter 5:8-11, NKJV)

Maybe you are one who at one time thrived in the church, but someone said something, did something, wrote something that put an arrow in your heart, and you walked away.

We have all experienced hurt, deception, being simply wronged. Yes, it hurt extremely, but we MUST forgive, we must forget, we must get back into that which we once knew. Our lives certainly depend on it. Our families depend on it. Others who have had the same experience as you need new life once again too. Come back!

Love covers a multitude of sins. Love restores. Love gives new vision.

Our God is the God of Love. And thus, so must we become that which He is.

And we will, for Jesus (Yeshua) already prayed it thus so, in John 17. His love, to bring unity to His joined people, will be well known and be brought to completion. He IS going to show the world the truth of His great compassion, mercy, and forgiveness.

“Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you,

So they might be one heart and mind with us.

Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.

The same glory you gave me, I gave them,

So they'll be as unified and together as we are —

I in them and you in me.

Then they'll be mature in this oneness,

And give the godless world evidence

That you've sent me and loved them

In the same way you've loved me.”

(John 17:21-23, THE MESSAGE)

Guess what? I think Jesus’ prayer will be answered with a “Yeah and amen!” It will be another “It is finished!” moment.

This world has gotten dark. Real dark. Not only do we need each other to come back together and stand strong together, to be lights in the world, but those who don’t know the Lord need Him, and His united Body on earth.

It WILL happen! I hope you are a part of it too.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).
