Elaine Tavolacci http://www.awordinseason.info - Close Every Door The Lord says I desire to move in your life in a new and fresh way and meet all your needs but you must first close the door to anything that would hinder you from moving forward.I am well able to turn those situations around in your lives that are causing weariness to your soul but you must first cut off anything that is holding you back. As you do this you will then be able to stand on the promises that I have for you. I desire to do things in your life that are above your human reasoning but you must first come before Me in total surrender and submission and I will bring you into new beginnings and times of refreshing says the Lord. Matthew 5: 29 - 30 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Do Not Retreat The Lord is inviting every one of us to go to another level but the enemy is doing all that he can to block us from this spiritual escalation. Many of you are experiencing an onslaught of adversity which is like a vortex that seems to be constantly pulling you back every time you try to advance forward. It is so important that you recognize it for what it is. There are assignments on your life that are meant to distract and remove you from the purpose and destiny of God in your life. This assailment is causing you to back down and that is exactly what the devil wants you to do. For those of you that know me also know that I very rarely talk about what the devil is doing but I assure you that this is a word from the Lord. I understand that sometimes it is not easy but you have to learn how to endure hardship as a good soldier. If you want to advance in the things of God you must not retreat when adversity is pressing you from all sides. You will never advance spiritually if you continually shrink back in doubt or fear when adversity comes. Every time the Lord has a new door for you to go through you will face opposition. A wise man of God once said: Trouble is not a tragedy to escape; but rather a school to learn. James 1: 2- 4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. John Paul Jackson recently said that great battles produce great victories and result in great champions. Your storms prophesy what you are about to come into. So when you see a great storm rejoice and know that He is about to do something great in you. The height of the mountain that you are going to is in proportion to the valley that you are going through. Storms are meant to change us and prepare us. When the enemy puts pressure on you do not retreat but that is the time to breakthrough to the next level that Jesus has for you Proverbs 24:10 If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small ------------- Elaine Tavolacci www.awordinseason.info www.TheVoiceOfBreakthrough.com www.TheVoiceOfProphecy.com |

Yes , tihis IS a Word from God! The enemy knows that if we stand at the frontier that God has set us to fight then he has no chanse to win this battle, so he tries to distract us and turn our attention to another faulse frontier so that we turn our back to the real frontier, expose ourselves and therefore become uncovered and volnurable.Do not fall for that, for that little stone that the enemy is throwing behind our back to take our attention can cause no harm.Focus on the real battle and fight and we will taste victory! The commander of God's army has given the signal to move forward, He has given the order to advance in what used to be the enemy's land and conquer it.Advance, advance now.Move forward, get into combat, use God's armor and by the Sword cut the enemie's head off.Victory,victory,victory...the land is free! |

Hi Adam Too many Christians are backing down when they get hit with all the fiery darts that the enemy is sending. And yes there may be many! People that are not having any adversity from the enemys camp then obviously they are not a threat to him. So if you are getting so many arrows shot at you that it seems like the 4th of July - Stand firm and as you quench every one of them you will be moving toward what the Lord has for you. Thanks Adam! Blessings! ~ Elaine ~

one of the many important lessons the Lord taught me when I came back
to Him years ago was about this. When ever things got their worst, everything falling apart etc. that was when a big blessing was coming. The enemy tosses a big fit when he knows God's doing something great in our lives. Knowing this is what has helped me hold on, sometimes it seems/feels like just my fingernails,when things get bad. My little tiny light in the dark chaos. And boy is it worth it once coming out the other side! Thank you so much for this post Elaine! I always look forward to reading what you , and the Lord, have to say. - Stacy |

Thank you also for your encouraging words. Blessings Overtake you!! ~ Elaine ~ ------------- Elaine Tavolacci www.awordinseason.info www.TheVoiceOfBreakthrough.com www.TheVoiceOfProphecy.com |

I hear you Jeffrey. I know exactly what you mean but you know that It is going to be an Awesome Whopper! When you get to this point you are bound for a Breakthrough. Just as Job said
Job 23: 10 - 12
But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
The Lord is about to do something awesome!! Stay tuned in! Dont retreat!!! ------------- Elaine Tavolacci www.awordinseason.info www.TheVoiceOfBreakthrough.com www.TheVoiceOfProphecy.com |

You're welcome Elaine!
And yeah Jeffrey I agree with you too. The last couple of weeks have been like a dirt storm and I've been just mentally gritting my teeth in order to keep from exploding. Keep telling myself that I know what this is, enemy throwing a fit,and I've been through this before. That I know the drill so just keep quiet and hold on to hope. I'm out the other side now but have not seen what all the ruckus was over yet BUT I think I have an idea. Time will tell. - Stacy |

Hi Stacy & Jeff Sometimes we don't see right away what the battle was about. About a year ago in April I was going through several fiery trials and I read "The Master Potter" by Jill Austin. It was incredible! It was like that book was written for me. You see I had the book for several years but every time I tried to read it I couldn't get anything out of it. A couple of weeks after I finished the book I went to a meeting where Jill Austin was ministering. She called me out and prophesied over me exactly what it was about. She mentioned the fiery trials, my prophetic gift etc; I didn't see a breakthrough right away after things mellowed out but I know there we will always be tests and trials that we have to push through to continue ascending. We have to continually push through the second heaven. Hope you understand what I mean. As long as we are moving the devil will continue pressuring us. If we stay dormant then we are not a threat. Rejoice and stay focused. Yes it is worth it! It was such a shame that Jill passed away just two months after that. She was an such an awesome gift! ------------- Elaine Tavolacci www.awordinseason.info www.TheVoiceOfBreakthrough.com www.TheVoiceOfProphecy.com |

" As long as we are moving the devil will continue pressuring us. If we stay
dormant then we are not a threat." Yes this is very true and it's something I've been saying for years. Jill's passing was a shock. It would have been nice to have been able to have seen her in person. Thank you Elaine! - Stacy |

Thanks Joan and Theresa! One thing that I am sure of is - No matter what is happening in the natural - Great things are on the way for Christians that are living right! I was in the doctors office today with an elderly lady that I take care of. They had a soap opera "One life to Live" on the TV in the waiting room. This soap opra had a scene of Two Adult men Kissing each other and then they went into to the bedroom to make love. I was shocked!!!! I couldnt even look at it after that. I never watch TV so I dont know whats out there. I been through a lot and there is not much that can move me but when I seen this I was crushed. The room was filled and young children that were watching it not even realizing what they were seeing. OMG! I cant imagine the next generation growing up thinking that this is the norm. Now I know why all those prophetic words are going around about judgement is coming on America. I can see why. How sad! ------------- Elaine Tavolacci www.awordinseason.info www.TheVoiceOfBreakthrough.com www.TheVoiceOfProphecy.com |
