God Says, "Enough of This Fear Mongering! Why Have You Chosen Fear?" - Kim Clement

God Says, "Enough of This Fear Mongering! Why Have You Chosen Fear?"

Kim Clement, Camarillo, CA

The Elijah List

Prophesied on August 8th, 2015 - From The Den:

"There Shall Be One Exposure After the Other"

The nations, the nations are in uproar, as we all know. But the Spirit of God has spoken clearly. These are His words: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. And yet you see the fear and the trembling from My people. What is this? What fear would be instilled in you by the media that paints the pictures of doom, gloom – the prognosticators of this time? And they say, 'How shall we rid ourselves of ISIS and pacts made with Iran, our enemies?'"

(Kim holds up cell phone)

The Spirit of God says, "This will do it. This tiny instrument that people use every second – I shall do something that shall expose what is taking place in Iran, Iraq, throughout the Middle East, but Iran specifically.

There shall be an exposure and they shall say, 'Such a tiny thing brought the truth out and such a tiny thing brought down that which was supposed to be upright,' and yet they are presently at this very moment pacting together with Russia and laughing at this President and laughing at this nation." God says, "I will have the last laugh. Why? Because, as I have said throughout the summer, there shall be one exposure after the other."(Photo via Free Stock Photos)

And then I suddenly saw a word that I don't enjoy speaking. That word was "revival."And I said, "Lord, what do You mean 'revival'? He said, "Kim, the people are praying for North Korea, Iran, China, yet the Church is growing in China faster than anywhere else in the world; yet the Church in Iran, underneath, is greater than the Church in the west. No, this nation needs revival."

God says, "They have died and said, 'The naturalism, the naturalism, secular humanism.' I'm exposing them one minute at a time, and even as you have seen the truth about the little children that are being destroyed and how they laugh about it," God said, "today I show you that I am about to pour upon My people, those who have given, those who have sowed, and those who have stood the test of time – I'm about to pour upon them unimaginable favor," says the Spirit of God.

"I will heal bodies like I've never healed before. I will raise even the dead – as they've said it cannot happen, I will do signs and wonders. Not signs and blunders, but signs and wonders," says the Lord, "as this earth has never seen. I will begin in China, then I will move through Iran and the Middle East, and then I shall flame this country again under the leadership of a righteous President," says the Lord.

Prophesied on August 22nd, 2015 - From The Den:

God Says, "Why Have You Chosen Fear?"

Today I pray that the Holy Spirit would speak to every person all over the world. Some of you seeking direction – some of you are fearful. I get letters every day from people that are fearful, but the Spirit of God said, "Why have you chosen fear? What is it that causes My people to look to fear, to say we must go back?" (Photo via Pixabay)

God's Spirit says to America and to the nations of the earth, "Do I stand fearing? When I spoke to Joshua, I said, 'Do not fear.' When I speak to you today, many have said, 'What about the tsunami that is coming to New York?'" God said, "There is no tsunami coming to New York at this time. I am the Lord, the Creator. The earth obeys Me and I have set certain things to happen, but at this time," God said, "no tsunami. I will show you that there shall be a spiritual tidal wave that shall lift the people to a higher place. Enough of this fear mongering," says the Spirit of God!

"Look at Israel, as they are now being rocketed because of hand-shaking with Iran, your enemy." But God says, "They have not shook My hand! They have not taken My hand in a covenant. Only those who have taken My hand in a covenant shall see the release of My glory in this end-time and it is coming," says the Lord. "It is coming like a mighty, rushing wind. As it was in the day of Acts on the Day of Pentecost, so it is coming again that My people may breathe the breath of God, that the paracletos may once again stand as the 'Comforter' of mankind. I will not hold back," says the Lord. "This is an hour where triumph shall be heard from the north to the south and to the east to the west," says the Lord!

Prophesied on August 29th, 2015 - From The Den:

"America, I Created You Unique...It Is Not Time For Destruction"

"Where was I when this nation began? People lived in their fields, prayed to their God, gave their hands, their feet and then their blood for this nation that I call precious, My darling America. I was there as they stood as families together watching loved ones die. I was there. Hear the notes of the violin, for they played and brought sounds from nations in Europe, Britain, and then created their own sound.

America, you have imitated nobody, for I created you unique.

"Where were they when men stood together and signed the Declaration of Independence? Where were they when they said, 'Under God, One God.' I was there," says the Lord. "And today, there is still a remnant that will not bow to the naturalists, to the secular humanists, to the atheists.

No, it is not time for the destruction of this nation. There will come a time where the wrath of God shall be poured out upon the nations of the earth but today I will bring recovery and restoration, and once again America will sing My songs and pray My prayers and declare under God we stand," says the Lord.

"Do not be afraid of North Korea, do not be afraid of Iran; do not be afraid of the nations, for in 2016 everything will change," says the Lord. "There will be a sound of liberty from the White House. There will be a sound of prayers from the White House. Pennsylvania Avenue shall be surrounded by people that will pray and ask Me to intervene and I shall," says the Lord. "So what is the foreboding sound? It is the sound of the enemies of America living in America. Those are your greatest enemies – who call themselves citizens, but they are enemies of the Cross and enemies of the nation and they shall be dealt with.

You want judgment," says the Lord? "Watch. Watch the atheists. Watch. You want judgment? Then watch those that have risen up against Me and said, 'Perhaps we shall embrace Baal-Allah. Perhaps we shall embrace that religion. Maybe we shall embrace Sharia law.' Ha! I laugh at you because the spirit of Elijah is in this nation and Jezebel shall not stand," says the Lord.

"A Combination of Sounds..."

"Blow the trumpet, blow the shofar! Blow it!

For there shall be a combination of the sound of Israel and the sound of the United States of America – a new sound, and I will take the Spanish music and I will take the Latin, and I will put it together and a unique generation will begin to rap and begin to sing with the combination of the sound of Israel and the sound of America and the sound of Central America and the sound of South America," says the Lord! (Photo via flickr)

"The Lord God of Israel is a jealous God. I am the Lord Your God. I am a jealous God. I will not allow the idols of Baal-Allah, the idols of the Middle East – I shall not allow these idols to be worshipped. This is a time for sobriety, to be sober. Why? Because men have been blinded. There has been poverty, religious poverty, and yet there is a sound."

We pray, Lord, as You came to this nation centuries ago, give us one more chance. Have mercy upon us! Have mercy upon us! Give us one more chance and we will arise, and we pray this in the Name of the Lord God of Israel, Yeshua! Yeshua! Yeshua!

God Says, "Enough of This Fear Mongering! Why Have You Chosen Fear?"

Kim Clement, Camarillo, CA

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Kim Clement comes on STRONG and firm AGAINST FEAR. The Holy Spirit strongly anointed Kim during this broadcast to condemn the enemy's tactics of causing fear from the media and IN the Body of Christ.
Here is one quote:

Kim: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. And yet you see the fear and the trembling from My people. What is this? What fear would be instilled in you by the media that paints the pictures of doom, gloom – the prognosticators of this time? And they say, 'How shall we rid ourselves of ISIS and pacts made with Iran, our enemies?'"

When you read this word that is transcribed from the actual broadcast, you'll get the sense of "irritation" from the LORD that so many are being subjected to fear and FURTHER IRRITATION THAT SO MANY IN THE BODY ARE CHOOSING FEAR.
This is the time and season and hour to TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

What America Has in Common With Rome Before Its Fall - Shane Idleman

What America Has in Common With Rome Before Its Fall

The U.S. has striking similarities to the crumbling Roman Empire. (Flickr/Creative Commons)

Society's influence on the church is very alarming. In times past, the hero was the father, not Edward (from Twilight). The greatest influence was the mother, not Bella. Kids once quoted Scriptures; now they are casting spells. What a sad commentary on the state of the family today. Hollywood, not the Holy Spirit, is guiding us.

An important question for all Christians to ask is: "Are we 'affecting' the world, or is the world 'infecting' us?" A.W. Tozer reminds us: "Where does Christianity destroy itself in a given generation? It destroys itself by not living in the light, by professing a truth it does not obey."

The church should not reflect or imitate the world, but lovingly confront it. We do the most for the world when we are the least like the world. We are to love them but not learn from them (cf. Ps. 107:35-37). No other decision will impact our lives more than who or what we choose to follow ... what we choose to love.

Americans give approximately $4 billion, but spend over $150 billion a year on pleasure. A serious misplacement of priorities.

In biblical terms, fulfilling unhealthy pleasures (or pushing healthy ones to the limit) leads to poverty—financially, relationally and spiritually. He who loves the things of this world will destroy his own soul. "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15).

When pleasures, even good ones, draw us away from God—when they crowd Him out—we are in danger of "loving the world."

God is in the background while pleasure and self-focus are in the foreground. Granted, finances, relaxation and healthy balanced entertainment are God-given resources that aid in rest and recuperation. This is not the problem; it is the "love" of pleasure and entertainment that leads us away. We cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve the god of this world and the one true God. John Owen, the prolific Puritan author, wrote, "Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you."

Carnality and lukewarm living wage war against the soul. The carnal person wants to live without God's restraints. Do you struggle in this area? Here is a test: Does this article anger or convict; are you upset or repentant? The old adage reminds us, "When a rock is thrown into a pile of dogs the one who yelps was struck." If this article upsets, it applies.

J.C. Ryle in his book on holiness wrote we must stand guard as a soldier on enemy ground. The problem is many who profess to be Christians love the world and have a hard time separating. They believe in heaven, but they don't truly long for it. They "say" that they fear God but they don't live like it. They indulge temptation rather than fight it. They enjoy sin rather than confront it. The lukewarm church avoids the heat of conviction. They don't like many of these articles. Holiness, to them, is outdated—old-fashioned.

Please don't misunderstand. We all fall short, but our lifestyle should reflect our faith. It's not about perfection, but direction. Galatians 5:16 reminds us that if we "live by the Spirit," we will "not gratify the desires of the sinful nature."

What we feed grows, and what grows can quickly become the dominating force in our lives. Sin is never static; it either grows or withers depending on whether we feed or starve it. A daily diet of violence, lust, anger and depression will fuel those very things in our lives. Pay close attention to what you watch and listen to, what you take pleasure in—the force controlling it ultimately controls you (cf. Eph. 2:12).

What entertains you? Are you drawn to things honorable and excellent or dark and depressing?

Do you prefer programs about vampires, witches, zombies, the occult, illicit sex and perversions? Do you listen to music that stirs and motivates ungodly lusts and attractions?

This isn't rocket-science: "To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Rom. 8:6). "The more we follow that which is good, the faster and the further we shall flee from that which is evil" (Matthew Henry). A Christian should not be entertained by darkness. If we are entertained, our heart needs spiritual resuscitation.

We, like the mighty Roman Empire that collapsed centuries ago, are crumbling from within. Historian Edward Gibbon once wrote about the conditions of Rome before her fall. The spending of public funds on food and entertainment as well as the mad craze for pleasure and sport topped the list. Sound familiar today?

I believe that anyone who suggests that carnality and lukewarm living are not propelling us in this same direction, does so in sheer ignorance or is in denial because they love the things of this world more than the things of God.

"The gratification of the flesh and the fullness of the Spirit do not go hand in hand" (R.A. Torrey). We cannot feed the flesh and be filled with the Spirit. "No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money" (Matt. 6:24). You and I cannot serve both God and the god of this world.

Are you willing to do what it takes to protect your relationship with the Lord? It all begins here: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7).

I Am Going To Redeem The Times That You Said, "NO!" To Me - Bill Yount

I Am Going To Redeem The Times That You Said, "NO!" To Me

Posted: 02 Sep 2015

I believe we all have missed one of those golden opportunities that we said "no" to by being led by feelings instead of faith. Can our disobedience ever be redeemed?

Recently, I blew a silver trumpet to open up a meeting. The Lord showed me that "silver" represents "redemption." When I blew that silver trumpet, I sensed the Lord saying: "I am going to redeem the times that you said, 'No!' to Me! I am going to give you other opportunities! Other opportunities that are going to cause you to forget your regrets.

When I look at you, I see no regrets, for there are other opportunities I am bringing your way. And if you will say 'yes' to these opportunities and follow through, it will produce a hundred-fold first fruits now, more than they would have yesterday or years gone by.

The Lord says, "This is a turn-around day! This is your turn-around day! I am going to turn things around for you. I am going to turn many of you around who have said 'NO' to Me to say 'YES' with joy. For you are now going to delight to do My will. Forget the past. Your past is not your present. The winter is over and gone.

And what has been working against you in the past is now going to work for you! Rejoice, for I have greater opportunities coming for you now than ever before. Opportunities that will restore to you the years the cankerworm and palmerworm have eaten from you."

"I Have Gathered My Myrrh With My Spice" ✡ Christian Fufills Prophecy on Temple Mount

I am come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eatenmy honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

SONG OF SONGS (5:1)

בָּאתִי לְגַנִּי אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה--אָרִיתִי מוֹרִי עִם-בְּשָׂמִי אָכַלְתִּי יַעְרִי עִם-דִּבְשִׁי שָׁתִיתִי יֵינִי עִם-חֲלָבִי אִכְלוּ רֵעִים שְׁתוּ וְשִׁכְרוּ דּוֹדִים

שיר השירים ה:א

ba-tee l'-ga-nee a-kho-tee kha-lah a-ree-tee mo-ree im b'-sa-mee a-khal-tee
ya-ree im div-shee sha-tee-tee yay-nee im kha-la-vee ikh-lu ray-eem sh'-tu v'-shikh-ru do-deem

Jerusalem Inspiration

Jewish tradition teaches that this verse from Song of Songs is a metaphor for the Lord entering the Temple that the Jewish people have erected for Him, and partaking in the sacrifices that they offer to Him. The garden is a reference to the holy Temple and the gathering of myrrh and spice is the acceptance of the ritual incense offering that is brought in His honor. God "eats" and "drinks" the offerings and libations by means of a fire which descends from heaven to consume them. Finally, He calls upon his “friends”, the loyal priests, to partake in their share of the sacrifices. Though there is no longer a Temple standing where we can offer physical sacrifices to the Lord, each year at Rosh Hashana, the Jewish people are called to make spiritual sacrifices to God, and to renew their spirits and souls. We celebrate the opportunity to come close to God by partaking of our own "libations" - a joyous feast filled with foods that symbolize our hopes for the new year, including apples and honey to signify the sweetness of our relationship with the Divine. Sweeten your new year with honey from the Holy Land this Rosh Hashana!

Enjoy 100% pure honey from Israel at your holiday table! »

Christian Child Fulfills Prophecy of Isaiah 56:7 on the Temple Mount

This incredibly poignant video shows the fulfillment of the words of Isaiah coming true. A young boy is seen saying the prayer of Shema Yisrael on the Temple Mount with total devotion, his hand covering his eyes precisely as Jewish law requires. What is remarkable about this video is that the young boy is not Jewish!

Yesterday's Photo Trivia

Yesterday's trivia referred to Bezalel, the son of Uri from the tribe of Judah (Exodus 31:1). Bezalel was the primary artisan chosen for the undertaking of building the Tabernacle in the desert. Thus, it is very fitting that the Jerusalem crafts fair take place in a market named after this ancient artist.

A Fresh Move of God is Upon Us by Lance Wallnau

A Fresh Move of God is Upon Us

by Lance Wallnau

Identity Network

"I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness-secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3).

This promise is given to someone God described as My anointed. It is spoken about a King who was prophesied to arise in history, a king that would help God's people to build God's house. Who is the anointed king who build's God's house? Is it David or Solomon or Jehoshaphat?

Shocking to Discover

God is addressing Cyrus, the Persian King, A heathen King. Cyrus is a secular temporal protector of God's plan for God's people. Christians need to realize that God is so BIG He is ruler of the nations, and even when His people fall short, He safeguards the gates of secular powers in order to administrate His agenda for His house.

On the very night Cyrus came to power the son of Nebuchadnezzar, the great Monarch of Babylon, was having a party with his friends and getting drunk using the sacred temple cups of Solomon's Temple seized in the conquest of Jerusalem.

Suddenly in the midst of the revelry a hand appeared. A divine finger began writing upon the wall. The party froze and Daniel was summoned to stand before the terror-stricken elites. He was asked to interpret the handwriting on the wall. He told the king that he had been weighed in the balance of God and "found wanting." His kingdom was to be delivered to another.

As he spoke, conspirators in Babylon were at work from the inside of the great city to let Cyrus in. The army of Cyrus had diverted a portion of a riverbed that flowed under the great city, and their co-conspirators in Babylon opened the gates from the inside out to let the army enter.

As the Prophet and intercessor Daniel delivered the word that authorized the transfer of governments the Lord God of Israel gave Cyrus the keys of government.

Transfer of Power

With this transfer of power came access to things others wanted but could not find - Treasures of darkness! This term typically referred to the wealth of vanquished pagan nations, which was customarily concealed in subterranean vaults. These were vaults with no windows hence "hidden in darkness". Thus, they are called the treasure of darkness, i.e., treasures which came from the activity of darkness spiritually and were hidden literally. They are also treasures hidden from the eyes of those serving darkness because they are stored up in the spirit for God's rulers. They are the End Time hidden riches of secret places.

For now, know that God is the ruler of nations and while some focus on these "blood red" moons as signs of Last Days doom and the rise of ominous world powers, God says "I am doing a work in your day you would not believe if someone were to declare it to you"(Acts 13:41).

The religious community of old missed the signs of the times, but the Apostles declared GOD WAS AT WORK TO BRING DELIVERANCE to whomever would dare to join Him in His invasion of planet earth. A fresh move of God is upon us.

AS ONE!

I Found Shalom - Diane Cohen

Diane Cohen - I Found Shalom

Published on Jun 25, 2015 I Met Messiah

Growing up Jewish in a family in Columbus, Ohio where everyone seemed to be talking at once, it was no surprise when Diane became an attorney and an active leader in the synagogue. Although warned by her old-world grandmother to be careful about Christian antisemitism, Diane was drawn to a book entitled, Rabbi Jesus. Reading it on an airplane, she struck up a conversation with a Christian woman, herself an author. Diane then entered a difficult time, when her marriage of 28 years dissolved. Some time later, she received a package in the mail from the woman she had met on the plane which contained one of her books and a card with the scripture, “He will delight in you with song” (Zephaniah 3:17) – the verse of scripture Diane had awoken with in her mind that very day. Deeply moved, Diane attended a service with her believing sister, received prayer and became a believer.

Israel Antiquities Authority Recovers Rare Sarcophagus in Overnight Operation

IAA Recovers Rare Sarcophagus in Overnight Operation

CBNNews.com

Thursday, September 03, 2015

Ad Feedback

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Israel Antiquities Authority discovered an exquisitely decorated 1,800-year-old sarcophagus in an overnight sting operation at a pre-construction excavation site.

Israeli law requires a pre-construction dig before any type of building to preserve any antiquities that may be there.

Ashkelon police officers and detectives accompanied IAA inspectors from the Unit for the Prevention of Antiquities Robbery in the operation. The team discovered what's been described as one of the rarest sarcophagi ever discovered in Israel.

The 2-ton, 2.5-meter (yard) long hard limestone coffin is sculpted on every side, including a life-size sculpture on the lid.

Unfortunately, contractors damaged the rare find when they used tractors to pull it out of the ground and then attempted to conceal it.

Officers detained five Arab construction workers from Hevron who were sleeping at the construction site.

During questioning at the Ashkelon police station, the workers explained the sarcophagus had been dug up the week before. They showed police photos and videos of its discovery and removal. Authorities also detained the two contractors in charge of construction at the building site.

They face charges of not reporting the discovery to authorities, damaging an antiquities site and the artifacts found there, which is punishable by a five-year prison term.

IAA Inspection Department head Amir Ganor called the incident "an extremely serious case of damage to a rare antiquity of unprecedented artistic, historical and cultural importance."

Ganor said legal proceedings would be taken against those involved in the incident.

"The proper way to operate in an ancient and important historic city such as Ashkelon is with transparency, openness and close cooperation between the property owners and the IAA," Ganor said.

Dr. Gabi Manor, a retired archaeologist and expert on classical periods, said "such sarcophagi were usually placed in or next to a family mausoleum."

"The high level of decoration attested to the family's affluence," he said, "which judging by the depicted motifs was probably not Jewish."

'NYT' Best-Selling Author Mark Levin Has Strong Warning for America

In Plunder and Deceit, he issues a strong, clear warning for America, taking direct aim at what he sees at the threat posed by a growing, powerful federal government. — In 'Plunder and Deceit,' Mark Levin issues a strong, clear warning for America, taking direct aim at what he sees at the threat posed by a growing, powerful federal government. (Reuters)

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Mark Levin has done it again. The popular radio show host has hit No. 1 on the New York Times best-selling list with his new book, Plunder and Deceit.

CBN's David Brody recently spoke with Levin for a closer look at his latest message to the masses.

Levin's Warning to America

On the radio, Levin pulls no punches with his millions of listeners. And as an author, he's fighting mad too.

In Plunder and Deceit, he issues a strong, clear warning for America, taking direct aim at what he sees at the threat posed by a growing, powerful federal government.

"It's transitioning into something more oppressive, more coercive and it's transitioning into something that is not constitutional," Levin said.

Levin said it's the next generation that will be in the crosshairs. That's the focus of the book: a clinical factual dissection of how liberal federal government policies—be they social, environmental or economic —are ruining the future.

"Future generations don't vote. They don't exist yet so they keep stealing from them," he charged. "They keep robbing from them, which means they are going to have limited liberty; they're going to have limited opportunity, limited wealth creation and we're spending it all today."

"This is something really unbelievable, that we are stealing from unborn babies, Lord knows how far into the future, their future," he said.

Social Security Crisis

Just one of Levin's examples of the dangers America and the next generation face: Social Security.

The long-time entitlement program needs structural changes to survive, and while solutions to change it have been around for years, nothing is being done.

Not only that—Levin also lays out the case that Social Security is already technically bankrupt.

"I don't even think people who receive these benefits know what's going on," Levin said. "Many of them don't know that the money doesn't exist."

"All that money that they paid into the system, there is no system," he continued. "That money was taken and spent the second it was taken on other government projects, on other government programs."

Call to Action

So where does this leave the next generation? What can be done?

"How do you get younger Americans, the next generation involved in these issues and to take notice of what's going on in this country?" Brody asked Levin.

"One at a time," he replied. "There are millions and millions of parents and grandparents who know exactly what I'm talking about and they're worried about what's going on in this country."

"They know like I know intuitively and through intellect that the country is headed in a very bad place and it's moving there very, very quickly," he warned.

Levin sees Plunder and Deceit as a pamphlet to equip communities with facts they will hopefully share with others in a variety of settings.

"In the home, during the holidays, at the dinner table, at the breakfast table, when you are putting your kids to bed—those are the circumstances," he said. "We as parents and grandparents have more influence on our children and grandchildren than we can possibly know."

Levin believes change won't come from Washington. Just like in Revolutionary War days, change comes from "we the people" because he believes ideas stir up action—and lead to consequences.

"I think tens of millions of us are extremely concerned about where this country is going," Levin told CBN News. "Maybe we are in the majority; maybe we're not—I don't know—but there are tens of millions of us and that's a big army of people."

"If thousands of us —not even millions of us, let alone tens of millions of us—really take this seriously, you don't know where we can go with this because in this great country there are many great people who will do many great things," he said.
