"ACPE Prophetic Roundtable: 2017 - The Breakthrough Year - Part 1 of 2"

A good word--

"ACPE Prophetic Roundtable: 2017 - The Breakthrough Year - Part 1 of 2"

Cindy Jacobs and the ACPE

Since 1999, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders has gathered some of the most respected prophetic voices from around the nation to pray and seek the Lord for a word for the next year.

It is our conviction that we are to function as an Acts 13:1-3 group. This passage notes that it was the Holy Spirit releasing a prophetic word to the group, as opposed to the exclusive word of any one prophet. So, it is the consensus of our ACPE members that the Holy Spirit is speaking the following prophetic words to us.

It's important to understand that all prophetic words need to be bathed in intercession. Our response, through prayer, helps words of blessing to come to pass, and can diminish or even avert words of judgment.

It is also important to note that God often speaks in seasons as opposed to calendar years. Many of the words given in the past are still being fulfilled even now around the world. So, the following is an overview of the ACPE Word of the Lord for the calendar year of 2017, which is 5777 in the Hebraic calendar, and beyond.

Note: These meetings took place November 14th – 16th, 2016 and some of the events have already transpired.

2017: The Breakthrough Year

"The One who breaks open will come up before them;
they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the Lord at their head." Micah 2:13 (NKJV)

• The Symbolism of the Number 17

The number 17 in scripture symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory."

God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when He began to flood the earth and rested on the 17th day of the Hebrew month. Noah's ark and its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month of the religious year (Tishrei), right in the middle of God's Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles. 

The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is in the seventh month (Tishri) and on the tenth day of the Hebraic calendar. This day calls for the turning from our sins through repentance that brings us to victory.

• It is the time for the breakthrough to victory.

There will be a significant increase in miracles and signs and wonders. The anointing will be so strong that it will break significant and long-standing strongholds that have plagued people's lives. 

"It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil." Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV)

For the Lord says, "My people are entering into an overcoming season that will produce great breakthroughs. For the enemy has come in like a flood, but I, the Lord, am releasing great victories. I will stem the tide of violence. I will bring peace to the land. I will bring an awakening! I will release revival!"

Receive Your Breakthrough This Year

This is the year that the blessings will overtake us, if we obey the voice of our God! If we put out hands to the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God for His sake, we will begin to prosper. It is critical that we spend time seeking the Lord for the right alignment in our relationships for us to release these blessings.

For some, it will mean a geographic move, for others, the leaving of the old for the new. For others, it will be mean staying in covenantal relationships even when they are tested. 

• The Promise and the Condition

"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God" Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (NKJV)

We need to understand the Hebraic meaning of our times. The year 2017 on the Roman calendar corresponds to the year 5777 on the Hebraic calendar, which is symbolized by the crowned sword. 

The sword cuts off the old and releases the new. The enemy has been trying to "cut off" many relationships and come against the new move of unity coming to families and the Body of Christ. We see satan being defeated on many levels as we experience great breakthroughs, both personally and corporately. 

This is the Year of Breakthrough to Release the Following Things:

• Mantles or anointings of the Holy Spirit released across generations. This is the year of securing your legacy.

• New leaders recognized and released.

• Shifts in government and new international alliances forming.

• More corruption exposed on national levels, both in the United States and other nations. 

• Mantles are being passed. The passing of Peter Wagner was a game-changer for the Body of Christ. Old wine structures are going to be tested, and those who will be willing to become new wine will be promoted. Churches who allow themselves to become apostolic sending centers will grow and see many saved. (Photo via Pixabay)

• Fuller Theological Seminary is going to come into a time of renewal as in the days when C. Peter Wagner invited John Wimber to teach his signs and wonders class. The Holy Spirit will be poured out once again upon the professors. Other divinity schools such as Princeton will also be visited by God as young professors are touched by God's power and come into spiritual renewal. New wine curriculum will be introduced into seminaries and Bible Schools around the world.  The renewal legacy of Peter Wagner combined with that of John Wimber is about to come upon a new generation.

• A diversity of mantles is falling in this time like unto what Peter Wagner carried. Mantles from God for the writing books, prophetically "seeing" trends, keeping the Church (Ekklesia) fresh and ready for each new move of God are being distributed to properly aligned leaders in this hour.

• There will be many, many changes in this coming year. Changes in locations, houses, buildings, and the breaking off of generational systems of debt.

• A new generation of spiritual warriors will be trained and arise to do governmental and prophetic intercession. Old prayer movements will be strengthened, and a new generation of prayer warriors will arise for battle. There will be an awakening of prayer and spiritual warfare. Deliverance will take place on many levels through this fresh movement.

• There will be continued shakings as the sword of the Lord pierces the darkness of centuries over the nations. Some will experience great tumults and shakings.

• The good news is that, in the midst of the shakings, there will be a time of renewal and coming together like in Ezekiel 37, when the shakings of dry bones caused new breath and life coming into the army of the Lord.

Let the Ekklesia Arise

Networks of Kingdom Alliances with the voice of hope are emerging in very intentional ways. Many will teach on the "Ekklesia" from their pulpits and in their conferences, inspiring the people of God to arise and be the called-out ones. 

There will be a strong anointing on the Ekklesia to root out and pull down the "gates and walls of the enemy." By this, as we are faithful to move out into society to be a voice of change, there will be a dismantling and shaking of old corrupt systems. 

The economies of nations who have refused to shift and are keeping their people in bondage will see massive shakings. Exposure after exposure will come to those corrupt individuals who thought they were too protected and embedded through bribes and intimidation. They will find themselves falling out of power, going to prison, and, in some cases, even dying.

The Lord showed us clearly that this is a new season where the Ekklesia is being given the anointing not only to root out, and tear down, but this will be a special season of building and planting. The revelation of blessing our cities and nations will be a Kingdom anthem for the Ekklesia. If we root out, but do not plant, then the nations will only be exposed to worse than they had been before. 

Therefore, we admonish the intercessors to pray beyond the tearing down of old systems and pray into the structures and systems that need to form afterward. Let's intercede for new leaders and effective systems to be put in place that will build up their nations.

It's Time to Build!

Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:

"Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant."

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?"

And I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."

Then the Lord said to me, "You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word." Jeremiah 1:9-12 (NKJV)

One of the things to be planted is what could be called "The Love Revolution." Just as the Summer of Love in 1967 changed the landscape of a generation, so now, 50 years later, the world will see the face of Christianity in a new light.

The admonition in 1 Corinthians 14:1, "Let love be your aim" will be planted in the nations as the Church rises up in a more visible way. The words of the theme song from the Jesus People Movement, "They will know that we are Christians by our love" will have a new resonance as this message of loving God and loving one another is sung in new ways. We will be carriers of God's goodness wherever we go!

Changing Financial Structures

The way people make money is going to change. A new breed of entrepreneurs will arise who are "out-of-the-box" thinkers.New structures of wealth creation will open up. For example, in the past the Stock Markets were major generators of wealth, but this will be the era of YouTube millionaires. (Photo via Pixabay)

The Church, missions organizations, and other ministries will benefit greatly from the creation of wealth, as new donors will rise up to help finance the building of this global vision. The gift of giving will be highlighted in the coming move of God, and people of wealth will understand how to use their gift to advance the Kingdom of God. 

Watch Latin America as structures that kept people in poverty are going to begin to unravel and weaken.

A New John 17 Movement

The Lord spoke to us that next year we would see a new John 17 movement begin where the prayer of Jesus will be answered. Many streams will run together until we see a river of revival flow across the earth. There will be major reconciliations between denominations, nations, and peoples.

God will anoint peacemakers in this season who are especially empowered by God to be a voice for unity between factions and help heal the breaches.

This John 17 move will extend to families as well as there is a "focus on the family" where long-standing breaches between siblings, and between parents and their children are healed. God is calling for families to pray together and "light" the family altar.  Strongholds in family systems are going to be broken in powerful and supernatural ways. This will even extend to strongholds of poverty, disease, alcoholism, and drug abuse.

The John 17 movements will align against injustice and religious strongholds as they decide together that they want a new move of the Holy Spirit.

We Are Hearing the Words, "New Wine, New Wine!"

A convergence of all the past moves of God coming together with the manifestations of Pentecostal Fire, the Healing and Deliverance Crusades. The Latter Rain Glory being poured out with new realms of glory, the Evangelicals' Burden of the Lost, and the Jesus People Movements love for the lost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit from the Charismatic Movement, the Third Wave Theological Credibility, the Revelation of the Prophetic Movement, and the Relational Networking of the Apostolic Reformation that includes an understanding of reforming and transforming society in each mountain (or sphere).

This great Convergence of the Ages is coming with a historic Fourth Wave of the Holy Spirit and a reformation that will lead to the Great Transformation of nations.

The wind of the Holy Spirit is going to blow with new renewal movements arising in the youth upon centuries-old churches. The power of the Holy Spirit will be poured out in a new, fresh way, manifesting through the young and old. The miracles that have seemed only to happen infrequently are going to be dramatic. 

Many "working of miracles" that are creative in nature will be seen in hundreds of churches across the world. Centuries old churches that have prayed for a renewed move of the Holy Spirit will see their prayers answered. It is the time for a new Pentecost! Some that criticize those who are longing for renewal will find they are put out of leadership in their churches and denominations. Both the young and the old will see the power of the Holy Spirit fall upon them. 

This again will result in many, many new missionaries being sent out across the face of the earth that are willing to go to the most difficult and hard-to-reach areas.  Central Asia will be majorly impacted by this mission's movement.God is calling a new generation who will go out and evangelize the world! The numbers of those going to preach will increase in large proportion compared to the generation before them. These missionaries will carry the Gospel, anointed with revelation to give "hope solutions" to the current needs of the nations where they are sent. 

The heartland of the United States and the cities along the Mississippi River will be used by God to mend the great divide that has come to the nation as a result of the recent polarizing US elections. 

The warfare from the last season that has "worn out" God's people will fade away as the refreshing rains of the Spirit of God fall afresh. It is time for breakthroughs and the breaking off of the pain, discouragement, and battle fatigue of yesterday.

Unlocking the Bible--The Big Story

      We watched an excellent presentation of an overview of the entire Bible in 40 minutes last night.  It was very helpful in clarifying where everything fits and why!  The message was given by Putty Putnam at the Urbana Vineyard Church in Urbana, Illinois.  Here is a link:  http://urbana.thevineyardchurch.us/messages/   Click on "Unlocking the Bible", which is the series they are doing right now and then choose "The Big Story."

Inauguration Photo

     I just read where Donald Trump said he tuned into a mainstream news station on Saturday morning which was showing almost no people attending the inauguration.  For any of you who listen only to mainstream media and also read my blog--of which I doubt there are many--I thought I would do my part to dispel the idea that no one attended.  Here is a screen shot of a photo which was posted on Breitbart.  I love it!!

What a Relief!!

Did you watch the Inauguration yesterday?  It was so exciting to hear Donald Trump voice the things so many of us have felt for years!  It was amazing to see him speak the truth in front of the very politicians who have gotten us into this mess and to watch them squirm as they realized the words were spoken for all to hear and directed at them!

I haven't felt such hope in years!!  What a relief to have a leader as our President instead of a puppet! I can hardly wait to wake up each morning to see what our new President is going to tackle today!

And isn't it interesting to watch Melania?  She is beautiful and so are her clothes!  How wonderful to have a President and First Lady we can be proud of!

I know some of you will disagree with the above statement--even thinking I have my head in the sand if I don't recall some of their past.  Well, I choose to look to the future.  I have the hope and belief they will step up to the plate and be the leaders our country has been longing for.  One indication this is happening is that they are surrounding themselves with wise counselors.  Also, Donald Trump has become a Christian and has an excellent Christian mentor--Mike Pence as vice president.

I believe God has chosen Donald Trump for such a time as this, and I can hardly wait to see how He is going to guide and direct him to "Make America Great Again" and thereby to help usher in the greatest revival the world has ever seen!!

"United States— You Will Be United!" by Hank Kunneman

What a wonderful, encouraging word!  Read this and rejoice!!

"America, It's a Time to Celebrate! Out of the Oval Office a President and Vice-President Shall Join Their Hands and Pray Together! This is My Promise to You!"by Hank Kunneman, Omaha, NE

Prophetic word of the Lord given by Hank Kunneman:

"United States— You Will Be United!"

"In the day when the Son of God stood within the house, as Jesus stood in the house," says the Spirit of Grace, "and the power of the Lord was present to heal, but yet those in the room could not discern that the power of the Lord was present to heal them, and yet they stood and others sat criticizing in their hearts saying, 'How could this be?' So it is, America—listen to the word that I speak to you today:

"I have placed those in your House called White; this is My doing, this has been My saying, yet there are those who stand to despise, ignorant of that which I'm bringing to the room, to the House, by the way of My Holy Spirit. And as it was healing that day, do you not understand that there have been those in this land, My people called by My Name, who have cried out unto Me, and I have heard them and I have sent My plan to heal your land?

"And this promise is not just for you, but it is for your children and it is for the nations of the earth, for what is released in this House—the House of your government—shall touch the nations in a great way. Do not get caught up in the arguing, the fighting, the discussing; but discern that which I am releasing that will bring a nation together.

"United States, you shall be—you will be united—for there is a unity that is coming and there is a healing that is breaking forth, will you receive it? Will you receive it?"

"Can You Hear the Sound of Celebration? Welcome to Your Future!"

"Can you hear the sound of celebration?" says the Spirit of the Living God, "for this is the announcement of Heaven from the lips of the Father and the Lord of the Church, and upon the lips of the Hosts for even their trumpets are declaring 'celebration' upon the earth—for great things shall begin to unfold in this next season.

"Enough of the conspiracy theories that bring men to fear, enough of the speaking of Martial Law in your land, America, for this is the season to celebrate. Why should you celebrate? Because if you could see your future, if you could see the things that I have planned—this is why there has been such a great battle and continues to be a great battle to try to confuse, and to try to bring this nation into conflict. 

"But I tell you—this nation shall be united as in the name that you bear, the United States. And here is why—for there shall be a wind that blows across this land again, for it shall be windy and the winds shall blow in very unusual places and in a very unusual way; and this again, the sign of the wind, shall be upon your streets and upon your cities and in your nation. 

"This wind will not go away for a season, but this is a sign unto this land that the wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing afresh upon America. And here is what it shall accomplish," for God says, "Do you understand that even upon the place of the Oval Office, a Vice-President and a President shall join their hands and pray together? This is My promise to you and this is not just hope, this shall happen!"

And God says, "There shall be a sound that shall begin to spill out and there shall be such a unity of agreement of prayer in the very high office of your land. And then the Cabinet shall gather and many in the Cabinet shall gather too, and they shall pray to the one and only true God; and they shall gather their hands and they will pray. They will pray for the peace of Jerusalem and they will pray for the peace of America."

God says, "This shall spill out even upon Capitol Hill, and it shall be no strange thing when they shall open in prayer and they shall declare the name of My Son for this land was dedicated to His honor and so it shall be brought back to Him," says the Lord.

"Do you hear the sound of celebration?" For God says, "The wind that blows is a wind of change; it is a wind that is blowing through the White House to break down satanic altars and altars that were prayed in dedication to false gods. And this wind shall blow upon the very place of your White House, your Capitol Building, and there shall be an infilling of the Holy Spirit among many. This will be reported and this will be mocked," but God says, "let them mock, I will not be stopped. 

"And this that I bring to you, America, will not be stopped, for this generation has a right to receive what I am pouring out upon all flesh; welcome to your future."

New Soup Recipe

We had dinner with new friends at their house last night.  Debbie served this delicious soup and gave us the recipe.  I checked allrecipes.com to see if it was also posted there because I wanted to share it with my daughter in Nebraska.  Here is a link to it there if you want to read reviews--or write one.  We thought it was excellent so I will also add it to the Recipes #1 page.

Lasagna Soup with Cheesy Yum

Soup:

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds bulk Italian sausage

3 cups chopped onion

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

6 cups chicken stock

2 (15 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes

2 bay leaves

1 (8 ounce) package rotini pasta

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cheesy Yum:

8 ounces ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage in hot oil until slightly brown and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Stir onion in sausage; cook and stir until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes into onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until mixture has a brick-red color, 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour chicken stock, diced tomatoes, and bay leaves into pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes. Add rotini to pot and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Stir in basil and season soup with salt and black pepper.

Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch black pepper in a bowl until well-combined.

Place a dollop of cheese mixture in the bottom of a soup bowl. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over cheese mixture and ladle soup over the top. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture, mozzarella, and soup.

Musings on Testing

Yesterday during a discussion with a new friend I was reminded of a word of wisdom given me by Tommy Tyson.  I was telling him that I had often questioned whether I learned a lesson I was supposed to learn previously because I seemed to be going through the same lesson again.  He reminded me that I am traveling on a spiral not a circle.  He said each time we revisit a situation we are a little higher in our response.

I have been thinking about that this morning.  Each time we go through a trying situation, if we are attuned to God, He teaches us ways to overcome.  I'm wondering if He allows us to go through a similar situation again as a test so that we can practice using those resources He provided and see for ourselves how much we learned.  I think that as we do, He reveals even more helpful tools which cause us to react to the next test on a higher plane.  Isn't He wise!!

A Word from Lana Vawser

This is an exciting word by Lana Vawser from The Elijah List!  I can hardly wait to see how it comes to pass!  One key admonition, though, is we must continue to pray for God's will to be done through Donald Trump and in our country.

"Lana Vawser: "Washington, DC! A MAJOR Release is Prophesied and Declared for America Starting Inauguration Day!"

by Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Australia

"A WORD FOR THE USA, WASHINGTON DC" AND "A RELEASE THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE SPIRIT ON THE DAY – OF PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP'S INAUGURATION"

Parts of this word were released to me while in Washington DC over the past few days. Since sitting with the Lord on these keys, the rest of the revelation has flowed. So I felt to release it today.

This is a VERY SIGNIFICANT, STRATEGIC season in the USA right now. What you are about to see God do will leave you in AWE and wonder of His GOODNESS and POWER!

THE ROSES ARE ON FIRE

I kept hearing the words, "THE ROSES ARE ON FIRE." Instantly the sense surrounded me to encourage the people of God to keep their eyes about and on Jesus. Yes, this is a season of exceptional breakthrough for the USA, and many have been thinking, "It's going to all be roses now that Trump is almost in office." It is going to be an INCREDIBLE breakthrough and SIGNIFICANT momentum being released, but in the midst of this glorious BREAKTHROUGH, I saw FIRE IN THE NATION being turned up SEVEN TIMES HOTTER.

I heard Jennifer LeClaire (Editor of Charisma Magazine) share this week at the POTUS SHIELD Conference. The Lord spoke to her that the curse and stronghold of the Jezebellic spirit over the nation had been broken – but it was MORE IMPORTANT than EVER to continue to pray. That confirmed what I had seen in the spirit but also the URGENCY of the hour to continue to pray. For there will be fire that the enemy will turn up 7 times hotter and it may "appear" that the "roses" (seeds of breakthrough are burning or going backwards) because of opposition, but it's SMOKE AND MIRRORS. Lift up your eyes HIGHER and DECREE and pray what HE is saying. The WAY OF VICTORY is being MADE in the USA!

The fire of the Lord is about to SIGNIFICANTLY increase. I saw this increase happen in the spirit from the moment that President-Elect Trump is "sworn in" at his inauguration. I saw an acceleration of the fire of God all across the nation and I could hear the Lord saying, "USA BURN, USA BURN. BURN TO COME ALIVE! BURN, USHERING IN THE DIVINE U-TURN, RETURN AND RESET."

The BURN I felt the Lord speaking about was NOT a bad thing. It is the CLEANSING and PURIFYING FIRE of the Lord. I felt the heart of God and the atmosphere being ELECTRIC with JOY at this DEEP work of the Spirit of God and His fire to POSITION the USA to COME ALIVE and to MOVE BACK toward all He is DECREEING. It is a DIVINE RETURN AND RESET.

"I AM GOING TO UPROOT AND GIVE DONALD TRUMP ACCELERATION BOOTS!"

I heard the words, "I am going to UPROOT and I am going to give Donald Trump ACCELERATION boots." I saw the Lord UPROOTING all across the nation. No matter what you see the Lord UPROOT, even if it doesn't make sense to the natural mind, look with the eyes of the spirit, for the Lord is MAKING ROOM for a season of PLENTY! Like in the story of Joseph, there were SEVEN YEARS OF PLENTY, and I felt the Lord saying, as His people have faithfully prayed through the famine, through the wilderness, and through the darkness, "You have stored up in the heavens the seeds of intercession for breakthrough." 

In that season, the Lord has been making His people and the USA ready. Now the season of PLENTY and MOMENTOUS BREAKTHROUGH is upon the USA, but the Lord is going to SET THE STAGE and move in ways that are UNPRECEDENTED and UNEXPECTED. Just as Donald Trump was unexpected for many, it's just the beginning; but the FRUIT of BREAKTHROUGH is going to be bigger and greater than many could ever have dreamed (Ephesians 3:20).

As God's people prayed for Mr. Trump, I saw the Lord place ACCELERATION BOOTS upon him. The prayers of God's people and the Spirit of God will come around President Elect-Trump in greater force as he progresses in his Presidential term. More and more ground will be taken and victory demonstrated in such SUDDENLIES that it will look impossible that it could happen so quickly, but it is the anointing of the Lord's acceleration upon Mr Trump. The Lord is doing a very quick work in the USA right now to see His glory come in ways that have never been seen before as healing and freedom come to the land. A mighty, glorious move of His Spirit is upon you!

WASHINGTON DC IS WAKING UP!

The first day I arrived in Washington DC this week, I heard the Lord saying over and over, "WASHINGTON IS WAKING UP. WASHINGTON IS WAKING UP." The sense surrounded me of the importance right now of AGREEING with HIS DECREE! 

A few days later, I could hear the sound of angels MARCHING into Washington DC on ASSIGNMENT to bring a great AWAKENING of His power and glory. In their hands they held scrolls, and on the scrolls was written "Psalm 65:5-10," specifically The Passion Translation version:

"You answer our prayers with amazing wonders and with awe-inspiring displays of power. You are the righteous God who helps us like a Father. Everyone everywhere looks to you, for you are the confidence of all the earth, even to the farthest islands of the sea. What jaw-dropping, astounding power is Yours! You are the Mountain-Maker who sets them all in place. You muzzle the roar of the mighty seas and the rage of mobs with their noisy riots. O God, to the farthest corners of the planet, people will stand in awe, startled and stunned by your signs and wonders. Sunrise brilliance and sunset beauty both take turns singing their songs of joy to you. Your visitations of glory bless the earth; the rivers of God overflow and enrich it. You paint the wheat fields golden as you provide rich harvests. Every field is watered with the abundance of rain - showers soaking the earth and softening its clods, causing seeds to sprout."

My spirit was bubbling with excitement at the sense of expectation of what the Lord is about to do. The words boomed in My Spirit, "WATCH AND SEE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO."

As I sat with the Lord on this word, I felt the Lord speak to me, "Washington DC WILL EXPERIENCE MIGHTY DIVINE SURPRISES!" Instantly I could see Isaiah 45:2-3 swirling all around in the Spirit:

"I'll go ahead of you, clearing and paving the road. I'll break down bronze city gates, smash padlocks, kick down barred entrances. I'll lead you to buried treasures, secret caches of valuables - confirmations that it is, in fact, I, God, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name." (MSG TRANSLATION)

I saw a MIGHTY move of the Spirit of God in WASHINGTON DC bringing the GREATEST AWAKENING that has EVER been seen. An AWAKENING to the destiny that the Lord has ordained for this city. I could hear His heart, "WASHINGTON DC IS A KEY TO UNLOCKING THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF MOMENTUM IN THE NATION."

As I sat on Isaiah 45:2-3 and pondered it, the Spirit of God was so strong upon me that the atmosphere itself was declaring, "I AM MAKING A WAY! I AM MAKING A WAY! IT IS TIME TO REALLY STAND AND PRAY! I AM MAKING A WAY!"

I then realized the passage the Lord had highlighted to me was the passage the Lord gave Lance Wallnau concerning Donald Trump and that he was a Cyrus, as the 45th President of the United States. I read Matthew Henry's commentary on this passage and it said:

"Cyrus is called God's anointed; he was designed and qualified for his great service by the counsel of God. The gates of Babylon which led to the river were left open the night that Cyrus marched his army into the empty channel. The Lord went before him, giving entrance to the cities he besieged. He gave him also treasures, which had been hidden in secret places. The true God was to Cyrus an unknown God yet God foreknew him; he called him by his name. The exact fulfillment of this must have shown Cyrus that Jehovah was the only true God and that it was for the sake of Israel that he was prospered. In all the changes of states and kingdoms, God works out the good of His Church." (Matthew Henry Commentary - taken from biblehub.com)

GOD IS working for the GOOD of His Church and the USA! I found it no coincidence that the Lord gave me this word about Washington DC waking up just DAYS AWAY from the transition of TRUMP into the White House. I believe the Lord has and is going to use Trump POWERFULLY, but in this season the people of God need eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying and where He is moving, as God is going to move in UNEXPECTED WAYS and PLACES.

VISION OF HEAVENLY TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS

I had a vision of Jesus sitting in a room and there were documents on the table. They were each in folders, and on the front of the folders was Jeremiah 33:3, "'Call to Me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own." (MSG TRANSLATION)

The sense I had when I saw Jesus sitting at the table was that He was saying, "COME UP HIGHER." There is a call to continue to intercede, to see as He sees, and look above what is going on in the natural. He is calling those who will continue to LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES to CRY OUT for HIS purposes and plans in the nation of the USA.

I then began to see people entering into this room, but the only way they could enter into this room was by lying down and floating, and drinking in the river of the Spirit. It reminded me of a scene from the movie Alice in Wonderland, where she had to drink a special drink to shrink to enter into the house. I felt the Lord saying that in a similar way that there must be a level of going low, deep surrender, repentance and drinking in of His Word in intercession, to enter into new realms of revelation and heavenly strategy. There must be a "coming before Him and coming up higher" in humility and openness to His Spirit, a laying down of agenda, to hear what He is saying, what He wants to do in the USA, and then AGREE.

As the people of God come before Him in this way, lifting up praise to the One who knows all and works PERFECTLY in ALL His ways, I saw Jesus handing out these folders. They were TOP SECRET, HEAVENLY STRATEGIES, KEYS, AND REVELATIONS of what He is about to do. As these keys and strategies were decreed and prayed through, I watched as issues, strongholds, and territories that had extreme demonic holds, areas of absolute impossibility in the USA, some that had been there for DECADES – they were SUDDENLY BEING OVERTURNED AND DEALT WITH IN A DAY!

Jesus grabbed the hands of His people one by one and He quoted 1 Corinthians 2:16, "Who can know the LORD's thoughts? Who knows enough to teach Him? But we understand these things, for YOU have the mind of Christ." He then quoted Matthew 19:26, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."

"WATCH AND SEE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO, IT'S SOMETHING SO GLORIOUS AND COMPLETELY NEW!"

"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland" (Isaiah 43:19). (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Trump: "No Drugs, No alcohol, No Cigarettes."

I did not know that Donald Trump has never consumed alcohol.  I am impressed!  What a great testimony!  Since my Dad was an alcoholic, I also do not drink alcohol.  I see no reason to start a bad habit that could become a problem when there are no benefits except what I have been told is a temporary high or a deadening of emotional pain.  I choose to find God's ways to deal with my pain instead of medicate it and I have no desire to look foolish and do things I will regret when under the influence.  If more people would speak out about this maybe alcoholism would not be such a problem in our society.

Intermediate Healing Weekend

     We just finished a wonderful weekend retreat at our house using Ken Fish's Intermediate Healing videos.  Not as many people as had originally said would come were actually able to attend, but the Lord worked through the few.  Those of us who attended were encouraged to follow Jesus' command to His disciples to heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead. and were given tools to help with this.  This type of ministry is SO needed today because it doesn't seem many have learned about it which is another reason it is so needed!  There are so many hurting people who don't know where to turn to get help.
      I heard Ken Fish say he is writing a book on the Integrated Healing Model.  It will be very welcome when it is released!  I feel Ken has an excellent understanding of how healing the body, soul and spirit are related and must be addressed before a person can be totally healed.  I highly recommend checking out his website:  Kingdomfireministries.org

What a relief that Obama is no longer President!!

     And last... "Barack Obama will leave office after eight years of strutting even while sitting down, preening even while standing up, swanking while playing 18 holes. Yet he remains the first president in American history to cast no shadow." —R. Emmett Tyrrell

 It is such a relief that we will be rid of Barack Obama in only one week.  I can't even call him President because he was such an embarrassment to those of us who believe in Biblical values.  He seemed to be doing everything in his power to undermine the values our country was founded upon and to promote the militant values of Islam.  The following article gives you a good idea why we are glad to see him go.  I am even posting the references at the end so those of you who doubt can look it up yourself.

America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President

David Barton - 11/08/2016

America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions. Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith. 1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith: December 2009-Present - The annual White House Christmas cards, rather than focusing on Christmas or faith, instead highlight things such as the family dogs. And the White House Christmas tree ornaments include figures such as Mao Tse-Tung and a drag queen. [1] May 2016 - President Obama appoints a transgender to the Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships -- an act of overt disdain and hostility toward traditional faith religions. [2] September 2015 – For White House and State Department dinners, the president deliberately invites guests that he knows will be offensive to the Pope and who openly opposed his message, but he and the State Department very carefully avoid inviting guests that oppose or would offended the dictators of countries such as ​Cuba and China. [3] June 2013 – The Obama Department of Justice defunds a Young Marines chapter in Louisiana because their oath mentioned God, and another youth program because it permits a voluntary student-led prayer. [4] February 2013 – The Obama Administration announces that the rights of religious conscience for individuals will not be protected under the Affordable Care Act. [5] January 2013 – Pastor Louie Giglio is pressured to remove himself from praying at the inauguration after it is discovered he once preached a sermon supporting the Biblical definition of marriage.[6] February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion. [7] January 2012 – The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis. [8] December 2011 – The Obama administration denigrates other countries' religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights. [9] November 2011 – President Obama opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial. [10] November 2011 – Unlike previous presidents, Obama studiously avoids any religious references in his Thanksgiving speech. [11] August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception. [12] April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring. [13] February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. [14] January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court. [15] November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E pluribus unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal law. [16] October 19, 2010 – Obama begins deliberately omitting the phrase about “the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions. [17] May 2009 – Obama declines to host services for the National Prayer Day (a day established by federal law) at the White House. [18] April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name be covered when he is making his speech. [19] April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three. [20] February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011. [21] April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they “cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who aren't like them.” [22] 2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith: October 2016 - Obama threatens to veto a defense bill over religious protections contained in it.[23] June 2016 - A military prayer breakfast whose speaker was highly decorated Delta Force Lt. General Jerry Boykin (ret) was cancelled because Boykin was a traditional value Christian who has voiced his support for natural marriage and his opposition to Islamic extremism. (The atheist critic behind the cancellation had complained that Boykin as a “homophobic, Islamophobic, fundamentalist Christian extremist.”)[24] April 2016 - At the orders of a commander, a 33-year Air Force veteran was forcibly and physically removed by four other airmen because he attempted to use the word "God" in a retirement speech.[25] February 2016 - After a complaint was received, a Bible was removed from a display inside a Veterans Clinic.[26] March 2015 - A decorated Navy chaplain was prohibited from fulfilling his duty of comforting the family (or any member of the unit) after the loss of a sailor because it was feared that he would say something about faith and God.

When they offered to freely do Mass for soldiers, without regard to whether or not the chaplains were receiving pay, they are still denied permission to do so. [34] October 2013 - The Air Force Academy, in response to a complaint from Mikey Weinstein's Military Religious Freedom Foundation, makes "so help me God" optional in cadets' honor oath. [35] August 2013 - A Department of Defense military training manual teaches soldiers that people who talk about "individual liberties, states' rights, and how to make the world a better place" are "extremists." It also lists the Founding Fathers -- those "colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule" -- as examples of those involved in "extremist ideologies and movements." [36] August 2013 - A Senior Master Sergeant was removed from his position and reassigned because he told his openly lesbian squadron commander that she should not punish a staff sergeant who expressed his views in favor of traditional marriage. [37] August 2013 - The military does not provide heterosexual couples specific paid leave to travel to a state just for the purpose of being married, but it did extend these benefits to homosexual couples who want to marry, thus giving them preferential treatment not available to heterosexuals. [38] August 2013 - The Air Force, in the midst of having launched a series of attacks against those expressing traditional religious or moral views, invited a drag queen group to perform at a base. [39] July 2013 - When an Air Force sergeant with years of military service questioned a same-sex marriage ceremony performed at the Air Force Academy's chapel, he received a letter of reprimand telling him that if he disagreed, he needed to get out of the military. His current six-year reenlistment was then reduced to only one-year, with the notification that he "be prepared to retire at the end of this year." [40] July 2013 - An Air Force chaplain who posted a website article on the importance of faith and the origin of the phrase "There are no atheists in foxholes" was officially ordered to remove his post because some were offended by the use of that famous World War II phrase.[41] June 2013 - The U. S. Air Force, in consultation with the Pentagon, removed an inspirational painting that for years has been hanging at Mountain Home Air Force Base because its title was "Blessed Are The Peacemakers" -- a phrase from Matthew 5:9 in the Bible. [42] June 2013 – The Obama administration “strongly objects” to a Defense Authorization amendment to protect the constitutionally-guaranteed religious rights of soldiers and chaplains, claiming that it would have an “adverse effect on good order, discipline, morale, and mission accomplishment.” [43] June 2013 – At a joint base in New Jersey, a video was made, based on a Super Bowl commercial, to honor First Sergeants. It stated: “On the eighth day, God looked down on His creation and said, ‘I need someone who will take care of the Airmen.’ So God created a First Sergeant.” Because the video mentioned the word “God,” the Air Force required that it be taken down. [44] June 2013 – An Army Master Sergeant is reprimanded, threatened with judicial action, and given a bad efficiency report, being told he was “no longer a team player,” because he voiced his support of traditional marriage at his own promotion party. [45] May 2013 - The Pentagon announces that "Air Force members are free to express their personal religious beliefs as long as it does not make others uncomfortable. "Proselytizing (inducing someone to convert to one's faith) goes over that line," [46] affirming if a sharing of faith makes someone feel uncomfortable that it could be a court-marital offense [47]-- the military equivalent of a civil felony. May 2013 - An Air Force officer was actually made to remove a personal Bible from his own desk because it "might" appear that he was condoning the particular religion to which he belonged. [48] April 2013 – Officials briefing U.S. Army soldiers placed "Evangelical Christianity" and "Catholicism" in a list that also included Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas as examples of "religious extremism." [49] April 2013 – The U.S. Army directs troops to scratch off and paint over tiny Scripture verse references that for decades had been forged into weapon scopes. [50] April 2013 - The Air Force creates a "religious tolerance" policy but consults only a militant atheist group to do so -- a group whose leader has described military personnel who are religious as 'spiritual rapists' and 'human monsters' [51] and who also says that soldiers who proselytize are guilty of treason and sedition and should be punished to hold back a "tidal wave of fundamentalists." [52] January 2013 – President Obama announced his opposition to a provision in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act protecting the rights of conscience for military chaplains. [53] June 2012 – Bibles for the American military have been printed in every conflict since the American Revolution, but the Obama Administration revokes the long-standing U. S. policy of allowing military service emblems to be placed on those military Bibles. [54] May 2012 – The Obama administration opposed legislation to protect the rights of conscience for military chaplains who do not wish to perform same-sex marriages in violation of their strongly-held religious beliefs. [55] April 2012 – A checklist for Air Force Inns will no longer include ensuring that a Bible is available in rooms for those who want to use them. [56] February 2012 – The U. S. Military Academy at West Point disinvites three star Army general and decorated war hero Lieutenant General William G. (“Jerry”) Boykin (retired) from speaking at an event because he is an outspoken Christian. [57] February 2012 – The Air Force removes “God” from the patch of Rapid Capabilities Office (the word on the patch was in Latin: Dei). [58] February 2012 – The Army ordered Catholic chaplains not to read a letter to parishioners that their archbishop asked them to read. [59] November 2011 – The Air Force Academy rescinds support for Operation Christmas Child, a program to send holiday gifts to impoverished children across the world, because the program is run by a Christian charity. [60] November 2011 – President Obama opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial. [61] November 2011 – Even while restricting and disapprobating Christian religious expressions, the Air Force Academy pays $80,000 to add a Stonehenge-like worship center for pagans, druids, witches and Wiccans at the Air Force Academy. [62] September 2011 – Air Force Chief of Staff prohibits commanders from notifying airmen of programs and services available to them from chaplains. [63] September 2011 – The Army issues guidelines for Walter Reed Medical Center stipulating that “No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.” [64] August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD – a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except now, America). [65] June 2011 – The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery. [66] January 2010 – Because of "concerns" raised by the Department of Defense, tiny Bible verse references that had appeared for decades on scopes and gunsights were removed. [67] 3.

August 2013 - USAID, a federal government agency, shut down a conference in South Korea the night before it was scheduled to take place because some of the presentations were not pro-abortion but instead presented information on abortion complications, including the problems of "preterm births, mental health issues, and maternal mortality" among women giving birth who had previous abortions. [72] June 2013 – The Obama Administration finalizes requirements that under the Obamacare insurance program, employers must make available abortion-causing drugs, regardless of the religious conscience objections of many employers and even despite the directive of several federal courts to protect the religious conscience of employers. [73] April 2013 – The United States Agency for Internal Development (USAID), an official foreign policy agency of the U.S. government, begins a program to train homosexual activists in various countries around the world to overturn traditional marriage and anti-sodomy laws, targeting first those countries with strong Catholic influences, including Ecuador, Honduras, and Guatemala. [74] December 2012 – Despite having campaigned to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, President Obama once again suspends the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which requires the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the American Embassy there. [75] July 2012 - The Pentagon, for the first time, allows service members to wear their uniforms while marching in a parade - specifically, a gay pride parade in San Diego. [76] October 2011 – The Obama administration eliminates federal grants to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for their extensive programs that aid victims of human trafficking because the Catholic Church is anti-abortion. [77] September 2011 – The Pentagon directs that military chaplains may perform same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. [78] July 2011 – Obama allows homosexuals to serve openly in the military, reversing a policy originally instituted by George Washington in March 1778. [79] March 2011 – The Obama administration refuses to investigate videos showing Planned Parenthood helping alleged sex traffickers get abortions for victimized underage girls. [80] February 2011 – Obama directs the Justice Department to stop defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act. [81] September 2010 – The Obama administration tells researchers to ignore a judge’s decision striking down federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. [82] August 2010 – The Obama administration Cuts funding for 176 abstinence education programs. [83] July 2010 – The Obama administration uses federal funds in violation of federal law to get Kenya to change its constitution to include abortion. [84] September 16, 2009 – The Obama administration appoints as EEOC Commissioner Chai Feldblum, who asserts that society should “not tolerate” any “private beliefs,” including religious beliefs, if they may negatively affect homosexual “equality.” [85] July 2009 – The Obama administration illegally extends federal benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service and Executive Branch employees, in direction violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. [86] May 2009 – The White House budget eliminates all funding for abstinence-only education and replaces it with “comprehensive” sexual education, repeatedly proven to increase teen pregnancies and abortions. [87] He continues the deletion in subsequent budgets. [88] May 2009 – Obama officials assemble a terrorism dictionary calling pro-life advocates violent and charging that they use racism in their “criminal” activities. [89] March 2009 – The Obama administration shut out pro-life groups from attending a White House-sponsored health care summit. [90] March 2009 – Obama orders taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research. [91] March 2009 – Obama gave $50 million for the UNFPA, the UN population agency that promotes abortion and works closely with Chinese population control officials who use forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations. [92] January 2009 – Obama lifts restrictions on U.S. government funding for groups that provide abortion services or counseling abroad, forcing taxpayers to fund pro-abortion groups that either promote or perform abortions in other nations. [93] January 2009 – President Obama’s nominee for deputy secretary of state asserts that American taxpayers are required to pay for abortions and that limits on abortion funding are unconstitutional. [94] 4. Acts of preferentialism for Islam: April - September 2015 - The administration negotiates a deal to stop economic sanctions of Iran because of nuclear power development, despite the warnings and concern of Israel. [95] February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, [96] but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do. [97] October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House. [98] August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly of Christianity. [99] August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location. [100] April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community. [101] April 2010 – The Obama administration requires rewriting of government documents and a change in administration vocabulary to remove terms that are deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical Islamic, etc. [102] May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan. [103] 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. [104] Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president. For references
