"The Lord Says: I'm Giving You a New Normal"
Lori Suiter, Lancaster, PA

On a recent trip, the Lord started to speak to me about four things. I know these things pertain to myself, but I think they will also encourage many others who are going through similar struggles. I write not from a place of achieving these things, but it's more like we are taking a journey together and I'm sharing what I hear along the way. Here are some things I heard Him saying to me.
1. Expect Surprises
My recent trip was a complete surprise to me. All I knew was that we were going "somewhere warm" and that "I needed my passport". I realized that these are the situations where I function at my best because I can't overthink it. I joked to my husband that if anyone ever wanted me to speak publicly this is how they would need to do it—last minute and in the moment. I started to realize that I can overthink myself out of anything, even the things God may want me to do, and that needs to stop. On impulse, I'm in the moment and thriving!
Do we trust Him enough to surprise us? Are we OK with only "need to know" information?
2. New Heights in Him
As we were sitting on the taxiway waiting to take off, I was suddenly aware of how many American Eagle planes were all around us. I knew it was one of those moments that meant more than face value. I felt the Lord saying, "I am rising up My eagles (prophets) in this season." I also felt a caution from Him about not allowing impatience, frustration, fear or distraction to tempt you to veer off of the runway that He has you on.
He said, "Make sure you have your destination and radar set on Me and that your headset is on and tuned into My frequency only, and I will direct your steps. You must discipline yourself to have eyes and ears for only Me in order for Me to take you to the heights I want to take you to. I'm giving you sniper-like vision, but you must be looking from Heaven's perspective in order to see things clearly. You must lose sight of the ground (natural) so you can truly learn to fly with Me (supernatural). You must become accustomed to heights instead of fearing them. I'm giving you a new normal."
3. Trust Beyond What You Can See
I love takeoff! It was beautiful as we were rose through the sky and I looked down on the city below. It was definitely a different perspective. Suddenly what used to be big was very little in my eyes. Then we hit the cloud layer. As we climbed, we rose above that altitude so that the clouds looked like a soft floor to a whole other world. The sun was shining brightly and clearly and there was a sense of calm, peace, and trust at this height. When I tried to look down at the ground, I couldn't see anything from Earth. It was no longer an option. There would occasionally be a break in the clouds and then I would get a glimpse of what was going on below, but I couldn't get a sense of security or direction from the ground anymore.
What struck me was the thought that the Earth didn't cease to exist merely because I couldn't see it anymore, just like the sun doesn't cease to exist just because we can't see it from the ground sometimes. We cannot fall for the lie that God isn't currently fully engaged and active in our lives when we can't see what He's doing behind the clouds. When we get Earth-based, we forget to look up and realize that is where we are grounded. In Christ, we are grounded, grafted into Him. He wants to get us to the point where we are constantly looking up, living up, coming up and rising up as we live our lives out on Earth.
4. Don't Look Down—Take That Leap!
There was a moment once we got to our destination when we were sitting next to a pool, which had a high cliff as part of its architecture. People were occasionally walking up and jumping off of it. They had two levels—a lower one and a higher one. I was pretty much determined to go off the higher one but I know myself, and I was not going to allow myself to think about it too long because I knew I would change my mind. I could hear the Lord telling me that the key was to not think about it too long, to not look down or hesitate, but to simply JUMP! So I did. It ended up being higher than I had thought, but I did it!
It is only through doing the things that scare us that we conquer that fear! It is only through doing things at high altitudes that we get used to the height, and pretty soon we are soaring! I can't imagine being Earth-bound ever again. Do not allow the enemy to get you to second guess what God has said by making you concerned about what could go wrong or with what people will do or say!
He is giving us a new normal. He is taking our focus off of the natural and onto the supernatural. It's time to fully disengage from the things and mindsets that hinder forward movement. Don't be discouraged. He wants to surprise you! You are getting ready to take off! Focus on Him and discipline yourself to hear only His voice and reject all distractions.
When He calls you to jump, JUMP! Don't look down, don't second guess what you heard, just leap. Whether it is doing something, praying for something or speaking to someone, just do it. You will become accustomed to the new heights and it will become your new home. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Forget What Is Behind and Step Into The New.


  • A word from the Father:
    My people, listen well to your heavenly Father this day. For you are now in a time of unprecedented miracles and movements of My Spirit to bring forth My will and My kingdom throughout the earth. Howbeit, I need your wills to align with Mine if you are going to be used by Me in these last and great days.
    Now listen. Does My written word not teach you to forget those things which are behind and reach for what is ahead, and press toward the goal of the prize of your high calling in Christ Jesus? So then, if there ever was a time for this, it is now.
    For I have birthed you all in the earth realm and called you out for such a time as this. And now is the time for you all to step into your destiny in Christ Jesus.
    Therefore, I need you all to make the declaration to forget what is behind you. Forget your failures. Forget your disappointments. Forget all that you feel has wronged you in any way. Forget and forgive all offenses that have been done to you, whether by a person, a government, or any other entity. Forget it all and step into the new. For surely I tell you; you have all entered into a new day in the Spirit.
    Now then, for those who have held onto or struggled to overcome your shortcomings and weaknesses of the flesh, give them all over to My Son Jesus. Now is the time to be set free from all that hinders you from entering into your destiny.
    You are all on the verge of witnessing the greatest of miracles and harvest in your personal lives. But for this to happen, you MUST let go of the past and reach out to what I would have for each of you individually and as a corporate body.
    I want you all to seek Me in what My will is for each of you. For your destinies will only be found in My will for your lives. Therefore, take no thought on My purpose for you because My thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and I will call many of you to areas in which you may not have any former education or training, both in the spiritual realm and the natural. So then, for you to accept the destinies I have for each of you, you MUST lay down your preconceived ideas of who you think you are and what you can accomplish. For surely ALL things are possible with Me as My Spirit empowers you to accomplish My will for your lives.
    Some of you are already in the position in which I will use you. As for others, I may need to move you to another place, which could be another city, another state, or simply another job or a new business. But whatever it is, you MUST obey if you are going to fulfill your destiny which I have for you.
    No then, for those of you who feel that I only use the most righteous or the most spiritual to conduct my miracles or to minister to others; you must lay this belief down. For I am calling all who are willing to be led by My Spirit in these last days. Of course, this includes your calling to come out from among all that is unclean and pursue righteousness. But you do not have to already be perfected in order to be used for My purposes. Only stay the course that has been set out for you and I shall conduct miracles through many of you.
    Now for all those who don’t know what your purpose or destiny is; just keep seeking Me and I shall reveal it to you. And once I do, do not doubt in your heart My ability to perform what I have planned for you. For absolutely NOTHING shall be impossible for those who have the faith and a willing heart to be used by My Spirit in these last days.
    My people, I love you all so deeply and you do not understand what is soon to come upon the earth. Even the most righteous will tremble in fear if they are not grounded by faith in My word and resting in My peace that surpasses all understanding. For even though it is not the end of time yet, it is on the horizon. And even though you have been warned by My written word that the last days shall be like the days of Noah, you do not understand what all was going on in those days. Many of you may be aware of the giants who once roamed the earth, however, that is not all that has been hidden about the days of Noah. Much will be revealed in the end-time and I need My people to be prepared. Yet for now, only do as I lead each of you to do and I will prepare you for all that is to come in the last days.
    Therefore, I entreat you all to get alone with Me and make a declaration to forget what is behind you and reach ahead to your high calling in Christ Jesus, no matter how impossible it may seem. Do this, and watch what I shall do within each of you. And 2019 shall be a year that marks the beginning of your destinies. I love you all dearest ones and only desire the best for you. Therefore, it is imperative that you heed this word to leave the past behind and step into the new. Do this, and you shall not be disappointed…..

HE IS RELEASING STRATEGY FOR STRENGTH

by Lana Vawser Ministries
Over the past week or so I have been hearing the Lord repeating over and over "I am releasing STRATEGY for STRENGTH".
Instantly I had a vision and I saw MANY weary warriors where the battle, struggles, fires and trials they have endured have left them really weary.
The Lord's voice thundered over them "I am releasing STRATEGY for STRENGTH"
Instantly i knew that an invitation was being released from the Lord to come and hear HIS strategy that He is releasing right now. I felt this strong sense in the atmosphere that it is crucial to be hearing and following HIS strategy alone, because the enemy is attempting to lure God's people into 'false strategies' not flowing from the heart of God to weary them and burn them out.
The Lord showed me that following Him in obedience to the strategy He is releasing there will be a MAJOR strengthening of body, soul and mind. The Lord showed me hearts being healed. Torment of the mind being broken. Physical issues being healed and a DEEP rest coming to the hearts of God's people.
In this strategy for strength there will be a major strengthening of faith that will take place. The flourishing of the faith rested life (Hebrews 4:11) that will blossom all around. Many have become so weary from fighting the lies of the enemy, the bombardment of continual circumstances, winds of opposition and turmoil of the heart, but the Lord has heard and He is releasing His strategy for strength. This time will be so important for many as they will be reestablished, refreshed, rejuvenated and restored.
STRENGTH FOR THE FUTURE
The Lord also showed me that not only is He releasing strategy for strength and restrengthening right now, He is releasing strategy for STRENGTH for the future. I kept seeing the word "LONGEVITY" in the spirit and the Lord was speaking that He is releasing strategy and divine wisdom for His people to walk in that whatever He has them build and put their hands to LASTS. 
I felt the heart of God so strongly for LONGEVITY. The enemy has been coming against many recently with his many lies but all screaming the same thing - everything OPPOSITE to LONGEVITY. Friends, that's a LIE! God is building and working deep within the body of Christ right now to mature, to strengthen and to draw us up higher into living by faith and His reality. 
The strategy of God right now will bring you life, strengthen you and refresh you.
Lean your ear close to His chest and let Him speak His strategy to you for there is a divine STRENGTHENING coming upon you.

My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,
Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description,
To hear an angel sing.

I can’t tell you of the splendor,
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas,
With our Savior, face to face?

I’ll ask Him to light your spirit,
As I tell Him of your love;
So then pray for one another,
As you lift your eyes above.

Please let your heart be joyful,
And let your spirit sing.
For I’m spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I’m walking with the King!

I know how much you miss me;
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I’m not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift
From my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory
Of my undying love.

After all “love” is the gift,
More precious than pure gold.
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other
As my Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings
Or the love He has for you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear.
Remember I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year!

I was watching the Awakening Australia Melbourne live on a recent weekend, and I was so overwhelmed by the amazing speakers, the worship that was next level, and the presence of God that was tangible. I was undone by the unity and oneness of heart of the Australian people.
The desperate cry of a nation asking God to align their hearts with the Father’s to fulfill Heaven’s mandate, to see the promises of God given to this nation manifested. I felt a positioning in the spirit was going on—the way a midwife finds the optimal position for a woman to give birth.
As I was weeping, the reality of this is actually happening; all the tears of intercession, decreeing and declaring over many decades had caused the shift we so desperately desired and are now witnessing.
On the second night as Heidi Baker was speaking, the Lord said to me clearly, “I am Commissioning Australia. I am sending Australia out into the nations. There are also others who will go to the people groups within her great shores.”
Clearing for Takeoff
In a vision, I saw a large angel on the tarmac of what looked liked an international airport. He had flags in his hands and upon looking closer, I saw that they were Australian flags. He was motioning as if clearing an aircraft for takeoff from the control towers instructions. It was a continuous flow; he never took a break. No sooner had one aircraft left then another was taxing down the runway. Plane after plane was leaving our shores. Every plane was white in color with a large, red Cross painted on the side like medics. I felt the Lord say that they have been equipped to revive. They carry the oxygen of Heaven on board.

Commissioning = Authority
With commissioning comes a greater authority and a new level of awareness of intimacy to the Australian Church. Also it releases the teaching gift in a greater measure.
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.'” (Matthew 28:18–20)
This is a time for leaping forward into the prophetic words spoken over individuals, ministries and over this great nation. This is a time of birthing the dreams, visions and promises of God given from the inception of this nation.
The Great Southland is Arising
The waiting is over. The labor is finished. This is the last push needed to complete the birthing process. Australia, you are about to be a proud parent of sons and daughters ready for the harvest.
The emerging of the prophetic and apostolic voices coming from Australia over the last decade was done with the intentionality of the Lord. These voices have been the forerunners, the ambassadors to the nations. They have opened the spiritual doors for many others to now be sent on divine assignments. The Lord was saying, “Thank you,” and honoring them for their labor unto the Lord.
This Scripture came to me: Psalm 2:7-8, “…He said to me, ‘You are My son; today I have become your Father. Ask Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.'”
Australia has learned to be a son, and is allowing the Father to take His place in the heart of the nation. The Father is whispering in the ears of His people, “Ask Me for your inheritance. I want to give you the nations, I want you to possess the gates.”
Stewardship is needed at this time. Glory is a precious commodity of Heaven to be valued and respected. There will be clear pathways for people to follow. Things that seemed impossible and distant will come into clear focus. The eyes of the Australian seers will become sharp like eagles; they will see things from above. They will be alerted to the enemies schemes. (Photo via Unsplash)
I saw a council in Heaven sitting at a round table assigned to Australia. The members had gray beards, representing wisdom. I believe the Lord was saying that there will be apostolic groups or councils that will be given God’s wisdom to rule spiritually in this nation. They will play an important part in overseeing the spiritual well-being of the nation. They will also act as watchman on the wall to protect Heaven’s outpouring. Apostolic leaders have already been prepared for these positions, those who have no fear of man but will possess the fear and knowledge of the Lord which is the beginning of all wisdom.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)
Australia, hear the voice of the Lord! Go!
