CONDUITS OF HIS GLORY by Elaine Tavolacci

As Spirit filled believers, The Lord has given us the privilege and the honor to be carriers of His Glory.  We are living in a season where everything that can be shaken is being shaken. Nevertheless, as believers, we should not be moved by what is happening in the natural because we are the people who are going to release His Kingdom to this earth as it is in heaven.  We are coming into a time when the body of Christ will demonstrate the Kingdom of God around the world just as it was in the book of Acts.  We are the conduits of His Glory.

The Lord says, no matter how things appear to be in the natural, you shall see My glory return.  Just as in the days of old, I will pour out My Spirit once again.  You will see wonders in the heavens above, and signs in the earth below.  As you observe the days getting darker, I will raise up people to be My Light bearers to annihilate the manifestations of the kingdom of darkness.  I am about to release My anointing in an unprecedented way.  As the darkness increases, you will also see My Glory accelerate beyond what you have ever known.  You have been chosen as carriers of My presence to release the atmosphere of heaven wherever you go.  As I said in My Word: I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.  I am seeking those who will be conduits and advance My kingdom with great exploits.  As you continually refresh yourself in My presence, the gifts that I have imparted to you will be cultivated.

In this season, many will have Spiritual encounters that are uncommon to man.  As you allow Me to transform you, you will mature and develop into My image.  As you allow Me into your churches, you will receive a new and fresh outpouring.  Don't resist nor quench what I am doing.  Don't settle for less than what I have for you.  As you nurture and protect that which I have placed on the inside of you, you will be able to discern My ways.  As you come before Me in prayer and fasting, I will equip you for the days ahead.  You will understand how to encounter Me through an intimate relationship as you read My word, stay steadfast in My word, intercede for others and pray in the Spirit with perseverance and determination.  You will then discover the valuable treasures that I have placed on the inside of you.  As you come before Me with great expectation, stand confident knowing that you will surely see My goodness prevail in the land of the living says the Lord.     

John 14:20. 

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you       

2 Corinthians 3:18  

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:6- 7.  

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 

THE BREAKING POINT by Elaine Tavolacci

Many of you feel as if you are at the breaking point. The tests and trials have been relentless and seem so overwhelming, but Jesus, the Lord of the breakthrough says; I see your struggles and I understand the burdens, hardships and difficulties and even the verbal attacks that have come against you. But trust in Me because no matter what the situation looks like in the natural I will not let you fall, fail or be consumed by these calamities. As My hand is upon you I will not allow this adversity to devour you.

 

Although the storms may be raging all around you, the battle may be fierce and the warfare may appear to be intensifying, do not panic but be still and listen for My voice. I speak in the midst of the storms and every storm has an expiration date. I will speak to you in the midst of your trials and perilous times. As you submit to Me and cast all your cares on Me I will turn every situation around for My glory.

 

Many of you have had sleepless nights worrying about situations that you are going through and others of you are concerned about your future. Some have physical issues that the doctors said were terminal but nothing is impossible for those who believe. I am the God of the miraculous. Do not allow the evil one to bring fear, condemnation, tormenting thoughts and voices in the night seasons.

 

Do not retreat, but continue to pursue what I have placed in your heart to do. These storms shall pass. Just as the wise man who obeyed My word was steadfast and unaffected when the storms came, know that I will strengthen you as you stand immovable and trust Me to bring you through. Do not fear but encourage yourself in Me knowing that I am with you and I will continue to uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

As I said in My word, I will deliver you out of every evil work that rises up against you. Have I not said in My Word that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper?. If you do not bow to the opposition or break under the pressure, My Glory will soon become radiant in your life. Your character and integrity will be so evident and you will come out as gold tried in the furnace. Just as grapes are crushed in the winepress through a process of crushing, these times will bring forth much fruit in your life as you endure, stay strong and stay steadfast says the Lord.

 

Psalm 34: 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

 

Proverbs 24:10 If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

 

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Endure Hardship As a Good Soldier by Elaine Tavolacci

The Holy Spirit brought back a word that I had received a couple of years ago. Many of you have been proven faithful through very difficult times and have learned how to triumph over every obstacle in your path. You have allowed the Lord to strengthen you and you have persevered through horrendous storms, but now it seems as if the enemy has returned with a vengeance.

The Lord showed me an analogy of a luxury car.  A luxury car must go through greater testing than an economy car before it is released to the car dealership.  To test a luxury car such as a Ferrari they may have to hit a wall to test its strength.  They will perform crash tests to test the amount of pressure that it could stand.  They will run it through all seasons to check its performance and tolerance to adverse weather patterns.  It will be tested through the snow, the rain, the heat and extreme weather conditions.  They will also test it on the mountains to see if it could pass the test of perseverance, stability and excellence.  They will test it on sharp turns and U turns to make sure it is agile enough for the winding roads and they will test it on rocky roads to test its endurance.  The reason why a luxury car needs more testing than an economy car is because it has to be proven for what it is worth.  We are also tested and tried for our value and worth in the kingdom of God.

The Lord says; "It was the trying times of your past that has strengthened you to become the person whom I have created you to be.  Things may not have gone according to the way that you have planned, but know that I am preparing you for greater works in the days ahead. As the enemy tries to return with a vengeance, remember where I have brought you from. Don't lose your focus.

As you look back at the difficult times, you will see that there was a purpose and a plan.  Everything that you have endured will be used for My glory.  As you have stayed strong in times of adversity, I will now entrust you with greater responsibilities.  As you have allowed Me to restructure your life and make the proper adjustments, you will now become more effective in that which I have called you to do.

Every step has been necessary for the preparation of your spiritual growth.  Although you have wrestled and contended in this last season, it has made you durable and able to trust Me in this season  Through difficult times you have learned not to allow frustration to overwhelm you but you have recognized the opportunities for the days ahead.

The adversities have not caused you to be hardened with bitterness but has made you pliable to be used as a vessel unto honor. 

As you stand steadfast, you will see the victory, You will understand the preparation and the process is crucial for the days ahead, and there will be a positive outcome for every unfortunate situation.  As you allow Me to build you for endurance, your character and integrity will be strengthened.  There are lessons to be learned that are necessary for your advancement so that you could fulfill all that I have called you to do; says the Lord.

2 Samuel 22: 35

He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

Psalm 18:32.

It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

Psalm 144:1

Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.

2 Timothy 2: 3-4

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

THE OPEN DOOR OF REVELATION 4 by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

In the book of Revelation Chapter four, John speaks about an encounter that he had of a door standing open in heaven. There is a door open in the Spirit realm to those of us who are in Covenant with Jesus. The Holy Spirit wants to show us things beyond the natural realm through His word, and He is inviting us to come into a higher place with Him.

 

The Lord says I have set before you an open door but there are many of you who do not recognize it. This door is not a natural door as you would suppose, but it is a door that gives you access into the Heavenly realms. This is a door that no man can prevent you from entering, neither will any situation be able to hinder you from walking through because it is already open. This door will lead you into the revelation of My word.

Many go through this door with great anticipation, but there are others who hesitate to enter because of the fear and distrust in their hearts. As you walk through this open door you will come into new experiences and gain access to throne room encounters. As you walk through this door, the atmosphere will shift. As you walk though this door, you will experience My presence and unlimited power.

 You are saying in your heart that you have heard this before but you have not experienced it in your personal lives, but as you remain steadfast on My word, your eyes will be unveiled and your ears will be unplugged. As you continue in prayer and intercession, the doors to opposition will be closed and even the most difficult circumstances will be turned around for My glory. Do not become anxious or doubtful because what I have promised will certainly come to pass as you abide in the secret place. It is My desire to visit you personally in these days of uncertainty. 

 

The rulers of darkness are doing all in their power to defeat you and prevent you from entering in, but you must continue to push back the powers of darkness. I will visit those who's hearts are submitted to Me. No flesh could enter into this place, but you have been chosen by divine invitation through My Covenant. Close the doors to all hindrances that would keep you from My promises. Do not be afraid to go through this door that is open to you but enter in with total surrender and submission. You will surely experience things that you have not known before as you accept this invitation to "Come up here" says the Lord.

 

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Ephesians 1:16-18
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. 

 

Revelation 4:1-2

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. "Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

RUNNING FROM JEZEBEL by Elaine Tavolacci

There is a story in the book of 1 Kings Chapter 19 about the prophet Elijah as he was running in fear from Jezebel. Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah because she heard that he had killed the prophets of Baal with a sword. Jezebel represents a demonic principality over the nations, the spirit of control and manipulation, and also one that is trying to abolish the voice of God and kill the prophets. Jezebel sent a message to Elijah threatening him that she was going to kill him the next day just as he had killed the prophets of Baal. She was so sure of herself that she said: "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them." When Elijah heard this he ran away in fear. Elijah was under such extreme pressure that he asked the Lord to take his life, and then fell asleep under a juniper tree.

The Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you are experiencing such vicious attacks from the enemy that you are actually asking Jesus to take your life. You are telling the Lord that the battles are too intense for you to handle and it would be so much easier to go and be with the Lord. There is a time when the warfare will increase just before your greatest victory and breakthrough, but as you remain immovable, steadfast and stand your ground, the Lord will show Himself strong on your behalf. The Lord says not to allow adverse situations to overwhelm you, but use these things as an opportunity to trust Him and strengthen yourself in His word.

Then the scripture goes on to say that an angel appeared to Elijah and told him to get up and eat. The angel left him hot bread and water, and then returned a second time and told him to eat again because the journey was too great for him. The bread represents the living word, fresh revelation, and Jesus who is the bread of life. The water represents the Holy Spirit. The food and water sustained him for forty days and forty nights. Then he tried to hide in a cave and the word of the Lord came to him.

The Lord is saying, that as you come out of hiding in fear and return to the promises and prophetic words that He once gave you, He will provide for you and sustain you in difficult times. He is your protection from those who rise up against you, and your advocate against every word curse that has been spoken over your life. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is your heritage and your vindication from the Lord.

Elijah complained that he was so zealous for the Lord, but he felt as if he was the only prophet left. He also complained about Israel breaking Covenant, tearing down alters, killing prophets and how his life was in jeopardy. The Lord then sent a wind, a fire and an earthquake but He was in neither one. But then Elijah heard a still small voice. The voice was so powerful that when he heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of a cave. Some of you are trying to hear the Lords voice in a monumental way but He wants to speak to you in a profound way in a still small voice.

Then the Word of the Lord came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" Elijah foolishly repeated his complaint once again. Many of you feel as if everyone else has left and you are the only one serving God. Some of you have prophetic voices which are being silenced in fear by the enemy. The Lord told Elijah that He has reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him. The Holy Spirit has many hidden today who He is raising up, who will walk with you and help to strengthen you.

The Lord then used Elijah to anoint other prophets as well as he anointed Elisha who received a double portion of Elijah's spirit after he was caught up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2 Kings Chapter 9:33-37 speaks about the violent death of Jezebel which was prophesied by Elijah. Many of you are frightened by the reports that you are seeing on the news. Don't be moved or shaken by what you hear. In the same way that Jezebel planned on executing Elijah, the Lord says, I will rescue you and deliver you, and My plans will be accomplished in your lives and ministries says the Lord.

1 Kings 19:1- 21

1 Kings 19:11-12 

Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

Positioned With a Purpose by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

One day I was in my car at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green. The traffic was heavy and there were several cars in front of me also waiting to go. When the signal light turned green I looked ahead to see why the cars in front of me were not moving. I noticed that the first car at the front of the line was holding everyone else up. This delay was causing some of the people in front of me to become impatient and agitated, and then something caught my attention. I noticed how each car had to move in sequence one car at a time in order for the traffic to start flowing. The second car couldn't move until the first one moved, the third car couldn't go anywhere until the first and the second car moved and so forth. 

The Holy Spirit spoke to me in that moment and said, this is why the body of Christ is not advancing as they should. There are leaders who are not moving forward as they are supposed to, and they are holding everyone else up who are following them. Many Christians are lagging behind, because they are waiting for others to move. The fivefold ministry as well as the leaders have to make the first move in order for the others to flow freely. There are many Christians who are spiritually hungry and are not being fed properly because they are waiting on the leaders to make a move. 

The Lord says, I am calling the ministers and leaders to rise up to the position that they were called to. There are multitudes that are in the valley of decision, confusion and fear, and they are looking for someone to lead, direct and advise them. I am calling those in the front lines of ministry to shake off the lethargy and rise up to where I have called them to be. I am calling on the five fold ministry to walk in the callings that I have placed on their lives. 

I will instruct them and give them the knowledge, wisdom and revelation that they need in their season. I am also raising up new leaders from among you to train and minister to the lost sheep. I am calling men and women of righteousness to equip and lead groups in wholesome living. As you inquire of Me, I will give you the words to speak and show you how to lead. I am calling My people to walk in integrity as everything produces after its kind says the Lord. 

Luke 6:39-40 And He spoke a parable to them: "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

Ephesians 4:11-12 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

Hebrews 12:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

THE LAZARUS GENERATION IS COMING FORTH by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

This morning I was thinking about all the great men and women that the Lord has used in extraordinary ministries. I was wondering why most of those who are called to be a voice for the Lord, or who have ministries of miracles, signs and wonders have been through so much adversity throughout their lives, but then I heard the Holy Spirit say, they are "The Lazarus generation". These are men and women on the front lines whom I have loosed from a death sentence and have chosen as My end time warriors. Then I seen Jesus removing their grave clothes.

The Lord says; "Lazarus come forth" as I am calling out to the Lazarus generation. I am calling those who have tasted of death, and I am loosing them from their grave clothes as I speak to the death sentence and say "loose them and let them go". I will remove and discard their filthy garments and array them in garments of white. I am giving them a second chance in life and they will lead multitudes into victory. They are the men and women who knows what it is like to be at deaths door, therefore they are fearless. They are strong and very courageous and they are tenacious in warfare because they know their enemy. They are steadfast and unshakable in their faith, and will not become fatigued or wearied by the pressures of life, and the battles that they endure. They will not be moved by a bad report and they will not be affected by what they hear because they live by a higher standard. They will not be caught off guard because they are clothed in My full armor at all times.

I have chosen those who have no fear of death because they know their destination, therefore they go forth in boldness and determination. I have chosen those who are focused and understand their assignment. Those who were delivered and those who were outcasts will be leaders in this end time army. Many have been attacked with terminal diseases and many have been healed of debilitating sicknesses. This sickness is not unto death but that the glory of the son of God may be glorified. I am positioning them as forerunners with keen discernment to rescue those who have come from the darkest places. Those who have been delivered from dysfunctional lives and have been rejected will also be used to release those who are bound and hopeless. They know what it is like to be the underdog and will have a heart to minister to the same.

These men and women will not submit to religious traditions but will understand what it is to be in a Covenant relationship with Me because they have My seal of approval. They have learned to decipher My encrypted word and the mysteries that I have placed in their hearts. They will have a revelation of understanding that surpasses their natural thinking. I will equip those with all that they need to complete their mission and establish My kingdom upon the earth. I have put My words in their mouths, and attuned their ears to My voice so they will always recognize their next assignment. I will use those who were left to die as I pour My glory into them to deliver others from the very thing that they have been set free from. Did I not say that if you would believe you would see the glory of God? For I am the resurrection and the life and I will fulfill My plans for your life says the Lord.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Daniel 11:32b The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

John 11:43-44 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Romans 8:19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

WALKING ON WATER by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

The Holy Spirit is calling us out of the natural realm, and inviting us to walk in the supernatural realm. In the book of Matthew, as the disciples were in a boat, Jesus came to them walking on the water. When they seen Him they were in fear thinking that He was a ghost. But then faith rose up in Peter and he said, Lord if it is You, bid me to come to You, walking on the water. Jesus said, come. Peter began to walk on the water until he observed the raging wind and waves. He then began to sink calling on Jesus to save him. He sank because he realized that walking on water was impossible to do in the natural. Jesus then said to Peter, Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. This caused those who were in the boat to worship Jesus, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

The Lord says, I am calling My people to step out of the boat of the natural, into the realm of the supernatural. I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out of the place of complacency. I am looking for those who desire to go to a higher level, and are not swayed by the havoc that the enemy is releasing. Don't be moved by tempestuous winds of adversity and rising currents that try to throw you off course, but be determined that you will overcome every obstacle that rises against you. Trust Me in this season as My glory is about to be revealed in your life. I am calling you out of your comfort zone into a place of intimacy. The way of the supernatural realm begins with a personal relationship with Me, by spending time with Me, and spending time in My word. As you read My word, rejoice knowing that I will watch over My word to perform it, and My plans and purposes will come to pass. My word will not return void but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Just as I reached out my hand to save Peter as he attempted to walk on water, I am also reaching My hand out to you to lead you on a journey of the supernatural realm. Trust Me to walk you into this lifestyle of faith. Trust Me to meet all your needs. Trust Me as you begin to step out against your natural thinking because that very thing that you are battling against will be your greatest testimony. Do not give in to fear and doubt because I am your healer, I Am your deliverer, and I Am the God of your destiny. Resist the temptation to give in to the flesh. I Am the God of the supernatural and I am challenging you to come out of your boat and walk on the water with Me. I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out into new levels of My glory and as you do, I will surely show Myself strong on your behalf says the Lord.

Matthew 14:25-32 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

Luke 8:23-25 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

THE CLOUD OF HIS GLORY by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

There are several scriptures in the bible that speaks about the cloud of Gods glory filling the temple in such a mighty way that the people were not able to stand under that cloud. As I read these scriptures the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation of the times that this Shekinah glory cloud came into the tabernacle with such intensity.

In the book of Exodus, after Moses completed the tabernacle, the last thing that he and Aaron did was consecrate themselves by washing their hands and feet and then put up a curtain at the court gate. Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled it. In the new testament, Jesus has made a covenant with us that we are now carriers of His glory. We are His tabernacle, and His glory rests upon us and dwells within us.

The Lord says, in the same way that you have consecrated and separated yourself unto Me, I will visit you with My glory once again. My cloud will abide with you and My glory shall overtake you. Just as I filled the tabernacle with My presence, I now visit you as My tabernacle. Your body is now My temple and I will release My presence through you and from within you. You will receive spiritual encounters that are uncommon to man, and you will release the atmosphere of heaven wherever you go, says the Lord.

Solomon's temple was designed to commune with God. In the book of 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 when the priests came out of the holy place after ministering, the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud. In 2 Chronicles 7:1-3 when Solomon finished praying, the glory cloud filled the house and the priests were not able to stand. 2 Chronicles 5:23-14 tells the story of Solomon completing the temple, the Ark of the Covenant was brought into the Most Holy Place by the priests. Solomon then dedicated the temple to the Lord. The Levites, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and relatives clothe in white linen gathered together to worship. They had cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets. They sang in one accord "For He is good, for His mercy endures forever". The house was suddenly filled with a cloud that the priests could not continue to serve because of the cloud, as the Glory of the Lord filled the Temple.

The Lord says, just as in the days of old, I will pour out My Spirit once again. You will see wonders in the heavens above, and signs in the earth below. I will visit those of you who are ministering from the Holy Place. My cloud shall fill the house with My glory. Your prayers have come up before Me as a bowl of incense, and your worship has arisen before Me as a sweet smelling fragrance. As you move with one voice and in one accord, you will experience My glory in a new way. I will visit My people once again in an unprecedented way, and many will experience the cloud of My glory in their lives; says the Lord

Exodus 40:34-35 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

2 Chronicles 5:13-14 Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever, that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

2 Chronicles 7:1-3 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever."

1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT MY EYES ARE ON YOU by Elaine Tavolacci

There is a story in the book of 2 Chronicles chapter 20 about a righteous King named King Jehoshaphat. He received a report that there was an army that was coming to wage war against him. As he stood up in the assembly of the people of Judah and Jerusalem, he said to the Lord, "Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you". He reminded the Lord how He drove out the inhabitants of the land before His people Israel, and was convinced that He will do it again. He said; "we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us." He went on to say (verse 12); For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you."

The Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you are crying out in the same way that King Jehoshaphat did. You are telling the Lord that you don't know what to do as you see the armies of the enemy rising up against you from every side. In the natural your situation seems impossible to overcome. Fear has gripped your hearts and you are focusing on this ungodly intrusion. King Jehoshaphat knew that he was not able to do accomplish this battle in his own strength. As this vast army was coming to annihilate them, he did not respond in panic or fear but as He inquired of the Lord through prayer, and the Lord responded. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel and he said; "This is what the Lord says: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. He went on to say: You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.'"

The Lord says to you; do not be afraid, but trust Me in all your circumstances. Trust Me with your life and as you do, you will also see your enemies defeated. The powers of darkness will not overtake you, and the life threatening situations will not take your life. The financial situations that you are facing will not deplete you. As you trust Me, you will come out victorious on every side says the Lord.

The scripture goes on to say, the next morning Jehoshaphat said to the people: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper. "He then appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of His holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: Give thanks to the Lord, for His love endures forever. As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against their enemy, and they even turned against one another. Every one of them was destroyed and not one escaped.

When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

The Lord says; in this same way, you will regain the territory that has been stolen from you, as you simply trust Me. There is no need to fight in the natural but allow Me to fight for you as you lift up your voice in praise. I will restore everything that has been stolen and I will contend with those who have contend with you. As you take up your petitions and stand firm, you will also experience My victory and deliverance, says the Lord.

2 Chronicles 20:12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."

2 Chronicles 20:17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you."

2 Chronicles 20:27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.

ALL WOUND UP by Elaine Tavolacci

The Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I shared some time ago. He showed me a picture of a multitude of people with wind up keys on their backs walking around like wind up dolls. Each person was walking in a different direction. Some people were walking to and fro wandering aimlessly without hope and some were being swayed in the wrong direction. Some were lagging behind while others appeared to be in a trance of fear. There were some walking in a circular motion not realizing that they weren't going anywhere, just like a hamster running around on a wheel. Many were distraught as they were going through fiery trials.

But then I saw those who were marching with determination knowing exactly what their destination was as they were trusting Jesus. They marched on with courage and confidence. They had fire in their eyes, and the Word of God as a sword in their mouths. They stood upright, they were bold and radical in their faith, and they were steadfast in what they believed. They seemed to have a protective shield around them as every fiery dart that came against them was extinguished. They were not swayed by adverse circumstances or evil reports, but they stood on the word of God.

I asked The Lord what this meant and this is what He showed me. Every person in the universe is walking around wound up in different situations. Some people are wound up in worries, some are wound up in confusion, some are caught up in the love of money and many are wound up in fear. But then there is the remnant who are stirred up in faith, stirred up in joy, and they continue to stir themselves up spiritually by praying in the Spirit.

The Lord says, allow Me to unwind you from the pressures that so easily beset you. Do not fear this dilemma that seems to be too large for you to handle in the natural, and allow Me to release you from the tormenting anxiety and confusion in your mind. Trust in Me to provide all your needs in every area. Allow Me to remove the burdens from your heart as you are entangled in complicated situations. Those of you who are fatigued from the cares and the weights of the world, come and rest in Me and I will restore your energy and revive you physically. Take your eyes off the circumstances around you and allow Me to direct your path. Trust in Me when all else fails. Don't allow worry or fear to overtake you. I will release you from this distress as you position yourself and come into the secret place of My presence. Be bold and be strong, as you follow My leading. Allow Me to stir up and resurrect those dreams that have faded away through discouragement.

As you put your trust in Me, you will gain the tenacity to become steadfast once again and pursue the plans that you have been contending for. You will then have the endurance to run the race with determination and strength. Keep your focus on My Word rather than the way that your situations appear in the natural. Everything in the natural is subject to change. I am the God of restoration and nothing is impossible with Me. As you stay steadfast in these trying times, you will come forth as gold. I Am your deliverer, I Am the God of your destiny and I Am with you in the fire of affliction. Although it may look like the waves of adversity are pulling you in a vortex, fear not. Rejoice and know that this too will come to pass and know that I will bring you in to My plans and purposes for your life. As you trust Me, that very thing that is coming against you will be your greatest testimony. Stir yourself up once again, and I will bring you out stronger as you endure and put your faith in Me says the Lord.

1 Samuel 30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

Jude 1:20-21 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Warring From Within ~ Flesh Vs Spirit by Elaine Tavolacci

There is a story in the book of Genesis about Rebecca, the wife of Isaac who was pregnant with twins who were named Jacob and Esau. The story goes on to say while Rebecca was pregnant, she inquired of the Lord and asked Him what she was experiencing as the twins jostled each other within her womb. The Lord responded in an allegory that there were two nations within her womb which shall be separated, one will be stronger, and the older shall serve the younger. The Holy Spirit showed me that allegorically Esau represented the flesh and Jacob represented the spirit. In the same way that they were struggling with one another on the inside of Rebecca, many of you are experiencing a struggle within yourself which is your flesh warring against your spirit.

The Lord says; as you experience this inward battle, don't allow your flesh to take dominion and control. Don't allow the nature of your flesh to win as your old nature is battling with the divine nature. Never allow carnality to rule, but as you allow My Spirit to lead and direct you from within, you will be set free from this constant struggle. When times of discouragement arises, know that you have the strength to follow the way of the Spirit. Use that which I have imparted to you. Do no allow yourself to be controlled by your senses, neither be controlled by thoughts that are conflicting with My word. As you go through difficult seasons, prayerfully seek Me to lead you and guide you in the way of truth.

Just as the rivalry was between Jacob and Esau, stand steadfast and don't give up your birthright. Don't dismiss the blessing that I have bestowed upon your life by submitting to anything that is contrary to My will. Hold on to the dream that I have placed within your heart, and understand the Covenant that I have made with you. Don't allow fearful thoughts to overwhelm you, and never let go of that which I have already provided for you. As you learn how to master your flesh and submit to My Spirit, you will begin to have a new strength to choose each day who you will serve. The thoughts and mindsets that try to war against your soul, will quickly dissipate as you allow Me to lead and guide you from within says the Lord.

Genesis 25:22 -23 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger."

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Galatians 5:16-17 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

JESUS "THE RAINMAKER" by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY

awordinseason@live.com

 

Throughout the bible the rain cycles of Israel speaks of prophetic types of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as well as the harvest of souls. The Hebrew word for the early rain is the word "pourer" "yoreh" which speaks of a soaking rain. The Hebrew word for the latter rain is the "harvest rain" "malqoesh" This word speaks of a heavy, torrential violent rain. Prophetically speaking, the early rain was in reference to Pentecost, and the latter rain is yet to come. The bible says that in the last days the Lord will send both the former rain and the latter rain.

In 1 Kings 18:41 the Prophet Elijah told Ahab that he "heard" the sound of an abundance of rain. He then sent his servant to go and "look" for the rain. The servant went seven times before he had seen anything. He then returned and said to Elijah, I see a small cloud, as a man's hand. This was a sign that the rain was imminent. Then it came to pass that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. In the same way, there is an abundance of rain on the horizon as Jesus the "Rainmaker" is sending the rain once again.

Lord says, I will release My glory upon the earth once again. When you see the latter rain begin to fall, do not be afraid to step in. This is not a natural rain, but this rain is torrential and will come with power, and it will come with great strength. This rain will come with substance and it will come in abundance. This rain will come with tenacity and it is available to all who are thirsty. It is available to all who are ready to leave their natural ways of thinking, and let go of their traditions. I will bring you into this new place as this rain produces rivers, and these rivers are now rising. As you receive the latter day rain, everything that is not of Me will wash away, and everything that is dry and brittle will be replenished. Everything that is sick will be restored. In this downpour you will receive revelation that will astound you and you will experience floods of peace. Allow Me to take you deeper as I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out of their comfort zone. I am looking for those who are not afraid to launch out into the deep. I am looking for laborers for this great harvest which is about to begin.

Everywhere that My rain falls will deliver life. The warfare that has raged against you will appear minuscule and you will no longer be intimidated by the powers of darkness that come against you. This outpouring will extinguish every fiery dart that is aimed at you. Many will experience breakthroughs of significant proportions as they enter in, and there will be great miracles that will accompany this deluge. What seemed impossible with man will become a natural occurrence. Do not become discouraged when you see the dark clouds. It is the dark clouds that are carrying the heavy rain. The dark clouds are bringing back the former rains and they are carrying in the latter rains which will create massive rivers. As I said in My word, I will work a work in your days which you would not believe if it were told to you. Be encouraged when you see the small cloud at a distance. This is just the beginning of My outpouring as this rain begins to fall; says the Lord.

1 Kings 18:41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."

1 Kings 18:44-45a Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.'"Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain.

Habakkuk 1:5 Look among the nations and watch- Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.

Zachariah 10:1 Ask the Lord for rain In the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone.

RISE UP WARRIOR by Elaine Tavolacci

Within the past few months I have seen so many Christian's who are going through intense spiritual warfare. The warfare has been relentless as the enemy continues to discourage people and throw them off course from what they have been called to do, and who they have been created to be. For those of you who are going through difficult trials, I want you to know that those things that you are battling will soon become your history. No matter what the situation is, stay strong in the face of adversity and don't become weary in well doing. Jesus will not fail you no matter how things appear to be in the natural.

The Lord says I understand your distress and I know your burdens, but do not fall prey to the deception of the enemy. Resist discouragement even though situations may seem overwhelming. Don't be moved by adverse circumstances but keep your eyes on things above. Don't allow calamities to overwhelm you but take control of your thoughts and use this time as an opportunity to strengthen yourself. Don't be mastered by fear, and refuse to give in to anxiety when confronted with stressful situations. As the fiery darts seem to come in ambush do not be dismayed. I will teach you how to quench those fiery darts and extinguish the flames of the evil one with the armor that I have provided for you. Have I not said in My Word that there are many afflictions of the righteous but I will deliver you out of them all? Have I not said in My Word that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper?

Just as I was in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego I am also with you in the fire of affliction. Do not bow to the opposition, do not break or bend under the pressure. My glory will increase in your life as you learn to quench every fiery dart that the enemy fires against at you. You will overcome as your refuse to succumb to his lies. Don't allow oppression to overwhelm you, but put on a garment of praise when a spirit of heaviness tries to overshadow you. As you continue to resist the enemy, you will come out as gold tried in the fire and your character and integrity will be evident to many. The battles may be fierce, but as you endure hardness as a good soldier, your faith will grow and you will be more effective in what I have called you to do. Just as grapes are crushed in the wine press through a process, you will bring forth much fruit in your life as you endure, stay strong and steadfast. I will show you how to adjust in difficult times because I have created you to be more than a conqueror and to rise above difficult situations says the Lord.

Psalms 144:1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle.

Isaiah 43:1-2 Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Fresh Oil from Heaven by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY

awordinseason@live.com

Jesus told a parable about ten virgins. Five of them were wise and carried oil along with their lamps, and the other five were foolish because they didn't carry oil along with their lamps. They were all wearied from waiting for their bridegroom to come. Oil speaks as a metaphor of the Holy Spirit, and the bridegroom speaks as a metaphor of Jesus. Many of you are becoming fatigued because you don't sense the Holy Spirit moving in your lives. You have been waiting for God to visit you once again but you are not experiencing His presence. Some of you have even felt as if the glory has departed (Ichabod) from your life. Jesus wants you to carry fresh oil, and He will release His fresh oil from heaven to fill your lamps once again.

The Lord says, come unto Me and allow Me to release My glory upon you and anoint you with fresh oil once again. Just as the precious oil, upon the head of Aaron, that ran down his beard, to the edge of his garments, I will release My oil once again over My body. Allow Me to lubricate that which has become dry and brittle. Don't be disheartened by what you see in the natural, because these things will come back to life as I pour My anointing on you. I will replenish those areas that have been desolate, and revive the areas that have been barren. Throw off the weight of discouragement. Surely I will move once again in a mighty way in your midst. This dry spell will cease and My glory will bring refreshing upon you and wash away all burdens. I will visit you in your quiet time. I will release My glory in your prayer time. I will release revelation in your study time. I will visit your homes and churches once again.

You have been standing on My word, believing for something for a long time. Don't give up now. You have been faithful through difficult times, and stood steadfast through the fiery trials. Don't retreat, for I am right at the door. Don't be disillusioned to believe the lies of the enemy. As you stand your ground, you will come back stronger than you were before. Surrender yourself to Me and allow Me to fill you once again with My fresh oil. Do not be afraid of the darkness that you are experiencing in this season, for you will surely see My Glory accelerate beyond what you have ever known. Do not become stagnant but trust Me and know that I will do all that I have promised. Protect that which I have given to you and the precious oil that has been entrusted to you. As you submit yourselves to Me once again, you will no longer suffer from this spiritual famine, but you will be filled to overflowing with fresh oil says the Lord.

Proverbs 21:20 There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it

Psalm 92:10 But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.

Matthew 25: 1-12 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

Down In The Valley (prophecy) by Elaine Tavolacci

 

 

 

The Holy Spirit showed me a picture of huge mountains surrounded by low valleys. There were many people down in the valley looking up wondering how they could ever ascend to the mountain top. Some were in deep valleys, some were in valleys of water, some were in barren valleys and some were in narrow valleys. As I was pondering this, I realized that these valleys were actually formed by flowing water. The greater the deluge and the water pressure, the deeper the valley went.

The Lord says; I have been with you through the valley, and I am about to release you out of your valley experience. I have created you to be a mountain climber, and I will make your feet as hinds feet that knows how to walk on every type of terrain. I will give you the strength and endurance to climb. Your time in the valley has strengthened you to walk on high places, because you have learned how to walk in the low places. You will be identified by your tenacity as an overcomer and will be used to raise others from their valleys of darkness.

In this valley you have learned how to be more than a conqueror and overcome all obstacles in your way that would prevent you from reaching your spiritual potential. I will use you to raise others from the valley of discouragement and even out of the valley of the shadow of death. As you approach the mountain top, you will have an extraordinary view and a clear insight into My nature as well as My plans. You will have a new perspective and see beyond the mountains. As you refuse to allow the situations in your life to keep you from being defeated. your past valleys will not dictate your future victories says the Lord.

Psalms 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.

Isaiah 40:4-5
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

Micah 1:1-4
Look! The Lord is coming from His dwelling place; He comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.The mountains melt beneath Him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE KING OF GLORY by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

This morning upon wakening the Lord brought a movie to my remembrance that was popular several years ago titled "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". As I thought about this movie, I heard the Holy Spirit say; I want to have close encounters with My people and show Myself strong on their behalf. We are living in a time when God wants to reveal His glory in an extraordinary way. This generation will experience encounters in which Jesus is going to release His presence, and we will see the Kingdom of God overtake the kingdom of darkness in many people's lives and ministries.

The prophet Elijah had many close encounters with God. In the book of 1 Kings Chapter 18, Elijah was confronted by the prophets of baal on Mount Carmel when he called down fire from heaven. When he first confronted them he said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." He then demonstrated the power of God and they fell prostrate and cried out "The Lord He is God, The Lord He is God" as they recognized the God of the universe. Jesus is asking us the same question today as He is about to release His power once again in a phenomenal way.

The Lord says, I am the King of glory and I am going to manifest My glory in this season and release you into close encounters with Me in the days ahead. As you see the kingdom of darkness trying to take dominion, know that the rain of My presence is imminent. It is the dense clouds that will release My heaviest rain of harvest. I will meet you in your darkest hour, and release My glory in an unprecedented way once again. My light will annihilate the darkness and My glory will grow more radiant in your life. As you allow My Word to penetrate deep within your heart, it will soon become as fire shut up in your bones.

Just as I called down fire from heaven and destroyed the prophets of baal, I am sending My consuming fire once again. This fire shall consume the religious theologies that are not aligned with My word. This fire will annihilate the dead works of false doctrines. My word is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is no compromise in My word.

Don't get discouraged by the prophets of baal nor be intimidated by their gods. I am El Shaddai and I will show Myself strong on your behalf. Don't draw back when you are confronted, but use the authority that I have given to you. I will contend with those who contend with you. Don't try to comprehend spiritual things with your natural minds but allow Me to take dominion and authority to rule and reign in your life. This is the covenant that I have made with you. Allow Me to open your eyes to wondrous things as I reveal Myself as King of glory says the Lord.

1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, "How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people answered him not a word.

1 Kings 18:39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord-he is God! The Lord-he is God!"

Job 12:22 He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

ARISE DEBORAH by Elaine Tavolacci

Staten Island, NY
www.awordinseason.info 
awordinseason@live.com

The past few months there has been an increase in spiritual warfare against women. The Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I had last year. I had a dream of a great swarm of large, brightly colored yellow and black bumble bees flying around in my room as I was reading my bible. When I woke up I first interpreted the bees as being symbolic for spiritual warfare, but after further study the Lord revealed something totally contrary to that. In the book of Judges the prophetess Deborah's name means "Bee". The Lord also revealed to me that honey represents revelation. This is the word that the Holy Spirit gave me for the Deborah's who are arising.

The Lord says, I am raising up the Deborahs who will be leaders in the days ahead. They will become My voice as they carry My prophetic word to the nations. As they release My word, it will be as honey, bringing revelation. They will be righteous judges of the land, and bring a word of morality to the nations. They will move in great authority with signs following. As they set the captives free it will bring conviction and transformation. As the days grow darker, they will bring comfort to others as they distribute the milk and deliver the honey. They will shift the atmosphere wherever they go, and as they worship, strongholds will be destroyed. They will instruct others how to walk, how to war, and how to resist temptation. They will bring direction to those who are compliant to My word and correction to those who are in rebellion. They will carry a clear stream of My river because they are not tainted by the influence of darkness. Their eyes are clear because they have not been defiled by unclean images.

These women will no longer be dishonored or rejected as leaders. They will not be silenced any more by the church or by the media because I have placed My anointing upon them, and My authority within them. Do not refuse them as they will carry a two edged sword to divide the religious traditions of man, from the truth of My word. They will bring a clear distinction of the genuine prophetic word and uncover that which is deception and counterfeit. These Deborah's will arise and defeat the taskmasters and those who are oppressing the body of Christ. They will always be successful in annihilating and exposing the assignments of the enemy. They will walk in a spirit of love and forgiveness and will not take offense when being confronted with opposition. You will know them by their fruit as they release My word to the nations, bring deliverance and release those who are bound says the Lord.

Judges 4:4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

Judges 5:12 "Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away, O son of Abinoam!

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED by Elaine Tavolacci

The Holy Spirit showed me an unusual metaphor today. I heard someone talking about an old movie titled "The silence of the lambs" and I thought to myself, that is exactly what the enemy is trying to do to the Christians. He is trying to silence our voices. Then I saw a large assembly of sheep in a pen. Some were trying to escape as they were looking for greener pastures, some were about to be groomed and sheared, some were about to be cloned, some were about to be sacrificed but there were those who were content. I saw that the enemies' plans were to lead the sheep to the slaughter to stop them from fulfilling the plan of God on their lives. He is trying to silence the voice of God from speaking through us. This is what the Holy Spirit said. Although it may appear in the natural that the enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy, you shall not be defeated. Those who know their God will be strong and do exploits. "You will not be silenced".

The Lord says; I am raising up those who will not be silenced from speaking what they believe. I am raising up many to be My voice in this season. Every generation of believers will come together and raise their voices in one accord. True believers will speak My word courageously. I am calling those in the marketplace to be My messengers without wavering in faith. I am calling those of you in the fivefold ministry to speak forth My word with boldness and without compromise. As you deliver My word, it will bring transformation to those who hear it. As you release the words that I give you to speak, they will become rhema and release life. There will be a clear distinction between the sheep and the goats. As you speak My word, demonstration will follow with miracles, signs and wonders.

Then I understood that the large barbed wire fence around the sheep was a hedge of protection to keep the predators out. The Shepherd then poured oil over the sheep to anoint their heads and keep the flies away. His rod and staff is not used to brutalize them, but to gently lead, guide and direct them. Jesus is our good Shephard, and has already laid down His life for the sheep.

I am calling every believer to share the good news that I have in this season. I will use your voice to change atmospheres and transform lives. My words when spoken through you will bring edification, exaltation and encouragement. Never retreat when confronting the voices of darkness, because they cannot overtake the light that is on the inside of you. My words in your mouth will bring conviction as well as deliverance. Don't allow those with religious doctrines to intimidate you, but speak the truth in love. Release My words of justice to an unjust world. Release words of righteousness to an unrighteous world. Release words of comfort and tell them that there is a comforter, who is The Holy Spirit and is willing to set them free. Release My prophetic words into the churches and release the voice of truth to the unbelievers says the Lord.

Psalm 23

Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

John 10:7-10 Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.,They will come in and go out, and find pasture.The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10:11-13 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep."
