Today's Israel Inspiration Since the Torah is concise and no word is extraneous, our Sages asked what is added by the words "and He took him outside" as it is obvious when looking at the stars that one is outside! Our Sages explain that God meant, “Go out of your astrology,” for you have seen in the stars that you are not destined to have a son. Indeed, Abram will have no son, but Abraham will have a son. Similarly, Sarai will not give birth, but Sarah will give birth. I will give you another name, and your destiny will change" (Rashi on the Midrash).

The Awesome Power In A Mother's Mantle - Bill Yount

---

The Awesome Power In A Mother's Mantle Posted: 30 Mar 2015  I'm not sure how this works. But I believe a mother's mantle casts a long shadow. I saw my mother's fall during the going away celebration at her church. It then unfurled like a tailor-made garment of love and continued to spread. I believe her mantle is imparting spiritual inheritance to many, even those who never knew her.  My mother, Gertrude Yount, went to be with Jesus on March 2nd. 2015. Multitudes have been touched and encouraged by her many healings and miracles that God gave her in this lifetime. But what I will remember the most about mom is her persevering faith in spite of her many hardships. She found God in the storms of life. She touched so many people with God's love. She was 90 yrs. old. She is now totally healed forever.  MOM'S SHOELESS ENTRY INTO HEAVEN  Mom had an unusual request when she left this world. She said, "When they lay me in the casket, I don't want them to put any shoes or socks on me. I want to dance on the streets of gold in my bare feet." I called the funeral director and told him mom's unusual request and why. He agreed. Someone came up to me right before mom's funeral and said, "It's going to be hard to fill your mother's shoes." I said, "She doesn't have any."  HER GIFT WAS LOVE  Just hours before mom met Jesus, my sister visited her and said her face was glowing and she couldn't find one wrinkle on it. She was even walking on her own. One of my brothers stopped by also to see her minutes later. I called her around 7:30pm that evening and she said, "I was going to call you" Her voice was strong and clear. She told me that she had called my other brother Jim and talked to him also. Then within three hours of talking to us children, she left. The last words my brother heard my mother say was: "Tell everyone I love them." When it came to loving people mom broke the rules. I remember growing up when she took us five kids to church she always squeezed other people into the car like sardines. On Sundays she would pick up a woman and her three kids ( which made ten of us in the car ). Many times mom would holler at us kids in the back seat, "There's a policeman, get down!" She seemed to get away with some things when she was helping people.  INFLUENCED BY KATHRYN KUHLMAN At eleven yrs. of age my mother often attended Kathryn Kuhlman meetings in Pittsburgh, PA. She saw unusual happenings that forever changed her life. A huge goiter on her mother's neck instantly disappeared before her eyes. The next second a five year old boy began jumping up and down shouting, "Mommy, where are you? Where are you mommy?" The mother on the other side of the boy said, "Honey, I'm right here." Mom said. "I saw that little boy jump up into his mother's arms and began shouting, "Oh mommy, I can see you! I can see you mommy!" The mother cried, "He was born blind!" My mother got the mindset at an early age: This is the way my life is going to be. And it continued the rest of her life. She was 4' 11" tall. She found the key to long life. Twice cancer couldn't kill her. The first cancer spreading through her body, the doctors gave her five years to live. That was forty-five years ago. At eighty-seven the second cancer died through surgery. They got it all with no chemo needed. Years ago doctors witnessed a tumor disappear on her thyroid before taking a biopsy. Ten years ago doctors wanted to amputate her one foot. She told them, "Whenever I go to heaven, I'm taking my foot with me!" Later they changed their mind. She kept her foot and walked fine. Most doctors who told her she wouldn't live long are gone. She kept outliving them. Her famous prayer when she got attacked was: "Lord, if I get weak and sick, how am I going to help anybody and reach the lost?" That's it! Then healing would start attacking her. After receiving that five year death sentence with cancer mom felt led to visit a different church in town. She went with Aunt Sophie. Aunt Sophie has been healed so many times, people thought she was crazy. They arrived early and sat near the front of the church before others got there. As soon as Mom sat down, she felt a hand touch her shoulder, shooting a bolt of electricity down through her body that burnt the hairs off her arms and legs. "I just knew God healed me of that cancer!" she said. They found out later that church didn't believe in healing. I think that's why God healed her before the service started. Mom loved to tell people of her healings and miracles. Then she would stop and say, "But you gotta repent!" as conviction fell on them. NEW BLOOD IS FLOWING INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST Late in life my mother had an ulcer on her leg that wasn't healing because of sugar diabetes. Doctors discovered the main artery in her leg was one hundred percent blocked with plaque that prevented the healing. Two doctors wouldn't touch it because she was 90 years old. A third doctor said, "I'm going to try it." ( Sometimes we need to try some things that look impossible.) He told my sister, "I chiseled it. I kept chiseling it. Two days later he called my sister and said, "The blood is flowing!" When I heard those words, I sensed the Lord saying to the Body of Christ. "The blood is flowing! The blood is flowing! I've been chiseling away at the blockages in your life. The blood is beginning to flow into the legs of my Body." The life is in the blood. Strength in our legs is coming from that blood. We are going to walk in newness of life. Walk in places we have never been. Do things we have never done. Try some things that look impossible.  AN UNSTOPPABLE PERSEVERING FAITH  "That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." Hebrews 6:12 Mom was a fighter. 'A contender of the faith that was once delivered to the saints.' ( Jude 1:3 ) She fought for what she got. Her strong faith was like a runaway freight train that could not be stopped. In the Spirit mom could take out Muhammad Ali. She seemed to have the gift of faith. But there were times and seasons when God seemed distant, when the healings and miracles weren't arriving on time. But her faith kept going. Mom's answer to heaven's silence was: "I'll be ok. Let's see what God will do." It was these bumps in the road of mom's life that caused her to know the Lord like she did. Her life taught me: There's a whole lot of living between healings and miracles. And a whole lot of living after them. She knew how to run this race of life with patience. "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1 She ran with patience. Patience was her friend. Near the end of mom's life she would always tell us. "When I get better, I'm getting my license back." She still blamed the state for taking her license. She told everyone, "They made a mistake about me." I have a gut feeling mom got her license back. I feel like she's driving something up there. Maybe a chariot. "Look out for those speed limit signs mom!" A faith so strong, yet childlike. I remember when the doctor wanted to amputate mom's foot. She told me her childlike prayer: "Lord, you don't need my foot, and I do." This story seems to sum up the fabric of my mother's prophetic mantle.  A mother had a little daughter playing down the neighborhood. A storm was brewing and the mother called the neighbor and said, "Send my little girl home quick." The little girl started walking home two blocks away as the storm broke loose. A torrential downpour of rain beat the earth as thunder and lightning came crashing down. As the mother watched anxiously out her kitchen window she noticed every time lightning flashed her little girl would stop and start to smile. Several times as lightning flashed her little girl again would stop and a smile would break out on her face. The mother terrified ran out of the house and down the sidewalk and picked up her little girl in her arms and ran inside the house. As they got into the house, the mother said to the daughter. "Honey, how come every time it lightninged, you just stopped and started to smile?" The little girl responded. "Mommy, all the way home God's been taking my picture!"  Oh, to have a childlike faith. To know in our worst storm, God is taking our picture. Raise your hands and receive the power in my mother's mantle right now: The gift of faith that only believes and doesn't know how to doubt. The patience that outlasts every storm. And God's love that breaks the rules.  And don't forget to smile. Cause all the way home God is taking your picture. Blessings, Bill Yount www.billyount.com

From the Exodus to Israel 2015

By Tzippe Barrow

CBN News Internet Producer - Jerusalem

Tuesday, March 31, 2015

JERUSALEM, Israel -- In just a few days, Jews in Israel and around the world will gather with family and friends to retell the story of their deliverance from slavery. As they observe Pesach (Passover) and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, many will turn their hearts toward God.

While everyone celebrates, Israelis soldiers will guard the northern and southern borders. In the north, Lebanon and Syria transfer weaponry across their borders, as Hezbollah fights alongside Bashar Assad's troops. In the south, the Hamas terror group openly speaks of Israel's destruction.

Meanwhile in Switzerland, the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, the P5+1, are about to give Iran the green light toward nuclear weapons and regional dominance, though they're not explicitly saying it. Iran reportedly has not backed down from any of its "red lines," including all the components of uranium enrichment.

And in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian Authority-controlled cities in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), leaders of the P.A.'s "unity" government praise acts of "resistance" against the Israeli "occupiers."

Instead of sitting down with Israel to come up with a workable solution, P.A. leaders travel around the world convincing others Israelis are the problem. And they've been pretty effective in Europe and other parts of the world. The P.A. wants the international community to force Israel back to the 1948 armistice lines, once called "Auschwitz borders." It also involves uprooting more than 350,000 Israelis from their homes and communities.

In 2005, under then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the government bulldozed 21 thriving communities in the Gush Katif Settlement Bloc and four in northern Samaria, uprooting some 10,000 people. Instead of moving the peace process forward, Israelis were bombarded with thousands of rockets.

The story of how God brought the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land is one of miracles, obedience and blessing. At the center of everything is God's desire that people know who He is.

Not long after the multitude walked out of Egypt, they heard the rumble of Egyptian chariots. They felt the ground shaking. After a long trek on very little sleep, they came to a seemingly insurmountable barrier: the sea. They despaired, some crying out they would have been better off serving the Egyptians alive.

But God had a different plan and Moses knew He hadn't brought them this far to abandon them.

That message is as relevant today as ever. As the world spins rapidly out of control, God hasn't changed one whit.

That's why Moses instructs the people to teach their children what took place then and to observe Pesach from generation to generation.

"And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.' It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord's law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year." (Ex. 13:8-10)

With today's challenges no less daunting, the recounting of the exodus can help people remember that God has not and will not abandon them either.

Indiana's Mike Pence: Tolerance Is a Two-Way Street

A new religious freedom law in Indiana has created a political firestorm across the country.

From the White House to Hollywood, critics hit the streets and social media saying the law discriminates against gays and lesbians.

But Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said the purpose of the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act is to protect people of faith, not discriminate against gays and lesbians.

"The issue here is, you know, is tolerance a two-way street or not? You know, there's a lot of talk about tolerance today in this country having to do with people on the left," Pence noted.

"But here Indiana steps forward to protect the constitutional rights and privileges of freedom of religion for people of faith and families of faith in our state and this avalanche of intolerance that has been poured on our state is just outrageous," he said.

In fact, Pence and supporters of the Indiana law say it's similar to federal legislation signed by President Bill Clinton and laws approved by 19 other states, including Illinois where then state Sen. Barack Obama voted for it.

But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Illinois bill Obama supported did not legitimize discrimination.

Critics say the Indiana law allows businesses like florists and bakeries to go unpunished when denying service to gay couples for religious reasons. In states with gay protections, some Christians have already lost their businesses.

On ABC's "This Week," George Stephanapoulos attacked Pence on the issue.

"Do you think it should be legal in the state of Indiana to discriminate against gays or lesbians?" Stephanapoulos asked the governor.

"George…" Pence began.

"It's a yes or no question," Stephanapoulos challenged.

"Come on. Hoosiers don't believe in discrimination," Pence replied. "This is about protecting the religious liberty of every Hoosier of every faith."

Most people support the idea behind the Indiana law.

One Associated Press poll taken last February showed 57 percent of Americans believe business owners should not be forced to provide services for same-sex weddings if they have religious objections.

Meanwhile, the uproar is expected to continue. The NCAA has expressed concern as Indiana prepares to host college basketball's Final Four.

And other companies and business may soon bow to pressure to boycott Indiana, possibly costing the state millions of dollars in tax revenues.

Did Biden Tell America's Jews to Leave?

Was it another of US Vice President Joe Biden’s now infamous verbal gaffes when he told American Jews last fall that they will ultimately be safe only in Israel?

At a time when Western nations are trying to convince their Jewish populations to stay amid rising anti-Semitism, it seems incredible that America’s #2 would essentially warn his nation’s Jews to flee.

But that’s precisely what Biden did while hosting a Rosh Hashanah party attended by senior American Jewish leaders last September.

Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic wrote that Biden began by recounting his first meeting with legendary former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, who told the young US senator that the Jews’ secret weapon in their war for Israel’s survival was that they had no place else to go.

Biden apparently agreed wholeheartedly, going so far as to suggest that even America was no safe haven for Jews.

“You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no matter how engaged, no matter how deeply involved you are in the United States…there is really only one absolute guarantee, and that’s the state of Israel,” Biden said to the astonishment of many.

Of course, it can and has been argued that Biden’s point of view is correct, and that ultimately even the Jews of America will have no choice but to flee to the relative safety of Israel.

Much has been made of rising anti-Semitism in Europe, but the same is true of the United States of late. The annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents published by the Anti-Defamation League revealed a 21 percent increase in anti-Semitism incidents in the US in 2014.

Biden’s remarks last fall might be seen as an embarrassing and offensive lapse of judgment, especially given overwhelming Jewish support for his Democratic Party, but they might also be a very prescient warning of things to come.

"God is Singing Over the United States of America" - Kathi Pelton

"God is Singing Over the 

United States of America"

Kathi Pelton, Eugene, OR
The Elijah List

I am an American citizen by birth, but for the past 15 years, God has led me to focus a great deal of my time and energy into praying and working for the establishing of godly destiny in nations other than my own. Canada has become my second home, and I have been involved with teams that prayed and worked together to see that nation come forth into blessing. Much to my surprise, as we approached 2015, the Lord turned my attention and my heart back to my own nation. (I say to my surprise, because much as I would try to battle in the spirit for the U.S., the Lord kept me focused on Canada).

In October 2014, while my husband and I were in British Columbia, God got our attention by giving us a prophetic word regarding our recent move from California to Oregon. This word spoke of God using us like an aqueduct to carry blessing from Canada into the United States. This thrilled our hearts, since we have been privileged to watch the great work the Lord birthed in our northern neighbor through a remnant of His faithful sons and daughters, who have refused to let go of Him until His glory returns to their nation. It has been exciting to walk as part of that faithful remnant.

This past February, we joined with a few Americans who had been invited to a gathering of Canadians who met in the Rockies to worship and pray. Our last day together coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag. That morning, we all stood to sing the Canadian national anthem in honor of the day. As we sang, all five Americans present knelt in the center of this group of Canadians to honor all that God has done in His Church in Canada. What happened next was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced.

The worship team began to prophetically sing the song of the Lord over the United States. Canadians began to dance around us, kneel with us and weep over us. As this happened I could feel God's heart of love for the United States more clearly than I had ever experienced, and I had a realization of His longing for her in my heart and spirit. I began to weep and travail for the longing of God's heart that we once again would put our trust in Him. (Photo via Wikimedia)

Since that time, everywhere I look, I see God releasing prophetic words about His longing for the United States to return to Him like never before. 

I have experienced numerous occasions where I could hear God singing over the nation. It has been the sound of His heart that is once again awakening the heart of His people. It is a deep longing, like that of the father waiting for his prodigal son to return. It is a song of remembrance expressing who we once were and who God still sees us to be. It is a song of His original intent for our nation, a nation that proclaimed trust in God as its foundation for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

From Sea to Shining Sea

One night recently as I slept, it was as if my body slept but my spirit was wide awake. I heard, from the song, "America the Beautiful" with the line, "from sea to shining sea" sung over and over. Every time I heard this line in my spirit, I would see God put mud on the eyes of the nation and hear Him say, "See again!" Then I heard, "The United States of America is a seer nation but she has lost her vision." Being a seer myself, I cannot imagine losing my vision; my ability to see. This is an important part of how I function and how I navigate in the spirit realm. If the USA is a seer nation, then we cannot properly function without sight and vision.

As 2015 began the Lord told me to put on my running shoes because the time had come to run. Upon realizing that the nation had lost her vision, I said to the Lord, "How can our nation run if she has lost her vision?"

I remembered the words in Habakkuk 2:2-3:"Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry." (Photo via Pixabay)

In that moment I realized that all the words we are hearing for the United States in this hour are words releasing God's vision; vision that has been inscribed in writing so that we may run. Voices like Lana Vawser, Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce are all speaking to the United States about God's heart for the country and His vision for her. With every word our eyes are healing and opening to see so that we might run again.

Two 84's

I recently had a dream in which I was drinking a glass of water with the numbers 84:2 floating in it. I was aware throughout the dream that the numbers represented Psalm 84:2:  My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Since the night of that dream I have experienced my heart and flesh crying out for the living God like never before; my soul has been yearning for His courts. I have also been longing like never before to see the heart of my nation cry out for the living God. On March 3rd, as I listened to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the United States Congress, my heart burned to see the United States stand and align with God once again. I longed for a government that would stand with Israel and that would seek God for His wisdom. I realize there is a remnant within the nation who seeks the Lord and that calls upon the government of God to rule and reign in the affairs of the nations.

After listening to Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech, the Spirit instructed me to find out what happened in the United States 84 years ago from the day that he spoke to congress. I did a search and found out that March 3rd was the 84th anniversary of establishing The Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem. The Lord told me, "The 84:2 was showing you that there would be two 84's that would be joined."

I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech released a deep cry in the hearts of Believers in America for our nation to return to the Living God. We are crying out and yearning for our nation to return to trust in God and to alignment with His end-time purposes.

There is a verse in our national anthem that very few Americans are familiar with.

It is the last, and I believe most important, verse:

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

It will be God who will rescue our land, and it is our praise and His power that will bring us back to our motto, "In God is our trust." 

The day after Netanyahu's speech was the beginning of the Jewish celebration of Purim (March 4th). This is a celebration that commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman's plot to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day. America needs a sudden deliverance from the plot of the enemy. Israel needs another miracle as well.

We need to declare that the words in Psalm 84 will be the heart cry of the nations:

How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house, ever singing Your praise! Selah. Blessed are those whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah. Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of Your anointed! For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in You!

Now Is the Time

Now is the time that God is calling the United States of America to align with His plans and purposes. Now is the time to begin to fulfill the dream in God's heart to have His family in America come together in unity to release the sound of His voice into the nation. 

Now is the time to see His righteous government render the judgment of mercy within our borders. Now is the time to put our trust in the Strength of the Lord rather than the strength of our nation.(Photo: One Nation Under God by Mike De Lorenzo via Elijah List Shopper)

I believe that God will lead many throughout the nation to gather together to worship and pray for our nation, and for all the nations of the earth. These will be family gatherings where we come with one heart to worship and humble ourselves before our faithful Father as His children. We aren't coming with a cause, or our own agendas, but are responding to His longing and invitation for His family to gather as one.

Listen for the sound of His voice and the beat of His heart inviting you to gather family and friends for times of worship and prayer. God is calling His faithful remnant forth to stand for our nation and for all the nations. Now is the time to respond to His invitation.

Cindy Jacobs’ Prophetic Vision Reveals Key That Unlocks Wisdom

3/27/2015 CINDY JACOBS  charisma magazine

Are you diligently seeking God and spending time in His presence? (Lightstock)

I just had a vision as we were worshipping of a door that seemingly shut and sealed. And then I saw a picture of a key, and on this key was written the word wisdom.

And the Lord would say, "Have I not said that wisdom is the principle thing. For you have been trying and trying to get doors open that are stuck. You do not know what to do, you feel like no matter what you do nothing happens." But the Lord says, "I want you to understand that there are keys to your success and keys to your future that cannot be obtained through earthly knowledge, but there is a higher way.

And the Lord says, "If you will come up higher, if you will spend time in my presence, if you begin to worship Me, I am going to show you wisdom that is from above and not from below." And the Lord would say, "If you could get everything in your natural knowledge you would not seek Me, you would not spend time to seek Me."

But the Lord says, "If you stand, I am going to show you what to do as you enter in to that place of intimacy with Me. I am going to put keys in your hands. Cry out for wisdom. Seek my face because I say it is the principle thing. If there was something else that was meant to be the principle thing, I would have told you that was the thing." But the Lord says, "There is wisdom that is not earthly that will put others in awe. They will say, 'How did you find that solution?' "

The Lord says, "Even as you enter into this new wisdom realm that I have for you. I will give you keys even through dreams I will give you keys through someone coming and speaking that one thing you need. You see, wisdom attracts. Wisdom is supernatural attraction for the things that need to take place in your life for your future," says God.

So the Lord says, "Even as you enter into worship and you begin to pray and say, 'Lord, you say if I ask for wisdom, you will give me it.' And as you begin to honor My word by seeking Me for wisdom." The Lord would say to you, "I am going to supernaturally reveal your steps. And others will say, 'How did you do it?' But it's me," says the Lord.

As I begin to pray for wisdom, it's almost like I begin to see my way form before me. It's like if God puts a concept for a book in my heart, I way not know where to go with getting it published or where to go, there are pieces of that I need. I may not know sources I need to source. I may not know whom to interview. But as I seek God on wisdom on it, which is really that supernatural word of wisdom, all of the sudden that book will come into my hand, that interview will open up. 

You see, when we pray for wisdom, wisdom manifests. People don't understand there's a manifestation of wisdom and it's as supernatural as any gift of the Holy Spirt. Wisdom gives us knowledge that we need and then we get understanding. But the wisdom is the door opener, it is the way maker, it is the direction that you need and then you get knowledge behind that wisdom how to make it happen.

So I pray for you today, and I pray for those here, Lord, we ask for wisdom. And we ask for wisdom that will be supernatural that will give us those keys that will open the door that will be the way maker for our future, for our provision, for our success, for us to know what to do.

And the Lord says, "You will not attain this by spiritual laziness, you have to seek My face and when you seek Me, you will find what you need," says the Lord. Amen.
