Chantell Cooley: "The Marketplace Anointing Will Take Hold in 2019" - Chantell Cooley, The Elijah List

Chantell Cooley: "The Marketplace Anointing Will Take Hold in 2019"

The Elijah List Dec 11, 2018

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
I want to share with you one of our new writers in 2018, Chantell Cooley. God has given her an awesome word regarding one of the greatest mission fields of all times—the marketplace.
Back "in the day" the business community or marketplace, was considered "secular only" work. It was NOT considered a mission field at all, at least not by most people.
Today, we have new or refreshed understanding about how God has hand-picked the marketplace as one of the most profound and fruitful places of all time for people to learn about Jesus Christ, and for important ministry opportunities to take place.
Chantell Cooley has really heard God's heart on what He is now doing or just about to do with new businesses and marketplace ministry in general, even in large established companies.
Hold on to your hat. 2019 is going to be VERY EXCITING in this special "land of opportunity"—the marketplace! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

HR


2019 will be a year of launching new businesses and establishing fresh foundations for business professionals. There will be an explosion of opportunities making huge impacts. Miracles of success will occur in ministries, businesses and in the lives of God's people. There will be promotions in careers and jobs, leading to financial breakthroughs. The bank accounts of God's faithful will no longer leak money, but will begin to stabilize and steadily grow to meet needs and provide resources for building God's Kingdom.
A Might Shift Across Political and Economic Systems
"There is a "fast-paced" movement by the Holy Spirit to cause a harvest which will draw people into the Kingdom like never before."
There is a "fast-paced" movement by the Holy Spirit to cause a harvest which will draw people into the Kingdom like never before. There will be a mighty shift in the atmosphere across nations, and economies will be rebuilt stronger than before as the Holy Spirit moves to take over political and economic systems. What man said could not happen will first happen in the spirit realm, and then manifest in the natural realm. The rain of the Spirit will fall so heavily that it will cause an immediate transformation right before their eyes. 
God's people will understand their purpose and calling, and walk in their true identity.
It is a great time to see marketplace ministry take hold, having a huge impact, bringing life and hope to those on the seven mountains. The marketplace ministry has been a four-legged stool, sitting on the ground without the fourth leg, never sitting stable. The fourth leg is now coming into play. The stool can finally sit firmly without falling and be used for its intended purpose. The Holy Spirit is sweeping across the land in a very strong way, integrating into corporate offices, buildings, and our educational system. It is a great season of miracles, conversion and success in the Kingdom.
New Strategies Will Be Released
New strategies will be released for those in marketplace ministry, giving them insight into how to minister effectively and expose the works of the enemy in these environments. The strategy used will be different than any other seen before. They will experience a magnet-like effect with increased favor, where co-workers will be drawn to the anointing in their own lives. A simple word of encouragement will cause a chain reaction in the spirit to draw the person into deep fellowship, bringing an amazing shift in the working world.
This new marketplace anointing will break glass ceilings and allow Believers to go higher than ever before in their careers into key leadership positions. Generational setbacks that go back 30 generations on both sides of their parents will be broken, freeing God's people to fulfill their purpose. Just as the walls of Jericho fell, thick walls of resistance strategically placed by the enemy to oppose families, ministries, companies and job positions of the children of God will begin to crumble. (Photo via Unsplash)
As God's people enter into worship, the presence of the Holy Spirit will come down like a heavy force and invade all areas, and the marketplace will become God's habitation.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
A Merging of the Church and the Corporate World
This marketplace anointing will break the chains off of the corporate world in a way that has not been seen before, and evoke a revival. Whereas in the past it took years for someone to go deep with the Lord, it will only take days or months to witness tangible growth in the Word and in the Spirit. Men and women from high corporate positions will begin to come into the Church, causing a new dynamic in the Body of Christ. It will be a drawing like never before. People in the corporate world will turn to the Kingdom for happiness, fulfillment and success. God's Spirit will move mightily into businesses, using everyday working men and women, to inspire a movement within the marketplace.
"New strategies will be released for those in marketplace ministry, giving them insight into how to minister effectively and expose the works of the enemy in these environments."
Ordinary workdays will be moments of complete transformation. In offices and cubicles, many will be filled with the Holy Spirit as if it were a church building. There will be no walls in God's Kingdom. Women will see the calling in their lives, will take their places as marketplace ministers, and begin to have meetings to gather their co-workers to bond with them and lift them up. This movement will begin in the most unlikely places.
There will be a new wave of culture and atmosphere infused into businesses where the needs of many will be met. As Believers sit, work and interact, God will use them to heal hearts. Those who listen and understand this anointing will be effective in reaching the lost. 
Simply reaching out and meeting business men and women, co-workers and clients where they are, without fear or judgment, will be the key. 
As God's people move in grace and understand, the power of kindness and care toward colleagues, supervisors and subordinates will open their hearts to them, and God's people will bring healing to many broken hearts. Just prioritizing and meeting the needs of others will set people free.
As churches make accommodations to work with and meet needs in the marketplace, many lives will be saved and transformed. Churches will fill up as they learn to identify with marketplace individuals, and by using those in the marketplace as an extension of ministry teams.
Marketplace professionals serving as staff in churches will help advise the Church on how to serve those in the working world. Anointed CEOs and leaders will begin to rise up and take their place like never before in the Kingdom as they lead companies and departments. This anointing will carry the Kingdom by sweeping across homes, offices and buildings all over the world. It will sweep through in an undercover way. (Photo via Pexels)
The enemy has been defeated in the marketplace. His stronghold over corporate buildings and cubicles is being broken, and it is time for men and women in the marketplace to rise up with their talents and skills, and actualize their true identity in Christ. As they take dominion over new strategies for leadership and service from Heaven and work closely with apostles, prophets, evangelists and teachers in the Church, they will exert influence through the Spirit of God to advance the Kingdom. Not only will business people and those in the working world be impacted, but entire communities will be drawn in by a whirlwind of the Spirit sweeping across cities, towns and nations.

Please Stop Demonizing Christmas - J. LEE GRADY CHARISMA NEWS

(iStock/Getty Images Plus/Liliboas)
During a recent trip to El Salvador, a pastor and I were talking about how much we both love Christmas music. We shared some of the songs on our personal playlists, and then he told me that his wife is especially fond of songs like "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and "Let It Snow" because the church she grew up in discouraged members from celebrating Christmas or hanging any type of holiday decorations.
Her story reminded me that several Charisma readers jumped on me a few years ago after I wrote a column about Christmas. They were angry because they consider Christmas a pagan holiday that is luring gift-giving revelers into hell itself. One person who identified himself as "Albert" wrote in our online forum that he "isn't comfortable celebrating Christmas" because of its "demonic origins."
You probably know there are many Christians who boycott Christmas for various reasons—some factual and some quite debatable. These people insist:
  • The holiday has become too commercialized and promotes greed. (I can't really argue with that.)
  • No one knows when Jesus was born. (True—and the Bible is silent about the date.) However, "Albert" and other anti-Christmas purists insist Jesus was born on Sept. 11, in 3 B.C., during Rosh Hoshana.
  • The Dec. 25 date was chosen to "Christianize" the pagan celebration of Saturnalia, an ancient winter solstice festival. (Probably true—but is there anything wrong with Christianizing something? I'm glad a pagan celebration was replaced.)
  • Christmas trees are a pagan tradition, since druids believed evergreen boughs were magical and had the power to scare away demons. ("Thursday" is also named for the Norse god Thor, but that doesn't mean I worship him when I use the word.)
  • Dec. 25 is the birthday of Nimrod, who later became known as the pagan god Baal, who later became known as Nicolas, who later became known as Santa Claus. For this reason, we can be sure that demons lurk behind all wreaths, candles, ornaments, fruitcakes, sleighs or anyone dressed in red and green.
  • "Santa" is just a jumbled misspelling of "Satan"! (Seriously?)
In all fairness to these Christmas critics, I will admit I never encouraged my children to believe in Santa Claus. This was not because I was afraid he was Baal, Nimrod or an ancient Turkish bishop in disguise, but because 1) I felt I would be lying to my kids if I told them Santa brought them gifts; 2) I hate standing in lines at department stores; and 3) the prospect of inviting a strange old man into my house so he can "check" on my sleeping daughters is downright creepy.

But I unashamedly love Christmas. I love the trees, the ornaments, the lights, the smells, the eggnog, the music, the gifts and the family and friends who share the celebration with me. All the decorations point me to Jesus—from the bells on the front porch to the angel on top of the tree to the plastic manger scene that shows some wear (mainly because our dachshund, Flapjack, chewed a shepherd's head off in 1996.)
For me, Christmas is a wondrous time of year when I ponder the miracle of Christ's birth and, hopefully, get lots of chances to share his generous love with people who are less fortunate than I am.
People have been fighting about Christmas for a long time. Christmas gift-giving was condemned by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages because of the "pagan origins" of the holiday. Then, anti-Catholic Puritans declared war on Christmas in England and banned it from 1647 to 1660, calling it "a popish festival with no justification." In the United States, Puritans outlawed Christmas in Massachusetts from 1659 to 1681, and it was an unpopular holiday after the Revolutionary War because Americans associated it with England.
Christmas became a federal holiday in 1870. Yet today, in spite of the fact that Christmas has morphed into a meaningless mush of secularized snowflakes, reindeer, penguins, gift cards and year-end sales, the Scrooges of our day want to suck all the remaining Christian spirituality out of it.
I expect atheists to hate Christmas. I know they will try to ban nativity scenes from public parks or remove Christmas carols from classrooms. But it is downright tragic when Christians—who should welcome every opportunity to bring the miracle of Jesus' incarnation into public life—start bah-humbugging (or even demonizing) the holiday.
Keep Christmas in your own way, by all means. If it's offensive to you to hang mistletoe from your mantle or to send a Christmas card to friends, then don't. I won't judge you for that. But please don't judge other believers simply because they want to celebrate all that is pure and decent and meaningful this special time of year.
P.S. Merry Christmas!
