Year of the Lion of Judah Invading and Taking Over

I see news media, Hollywood films and TV shows being taken over by believers that will infiltrate the ranks due to the incredible favor, skill and talent and holiness of God. Just as Daniel and his friends refused to eat the kings meat so God’s people will be in these secular arenas but people will see they are somehow different yet brighter, stronger, happier and his favor on them will open up unique doors of great influence.

The key is to be one of these noble ones that will not compromise just to fit in never forgetting the reason you are there, “For Such a Time as this” to bring in the Kingdom of God. Just as Esther could have been tempted to not use her position for God’s people and the purposes of God she realized she had been elevated not for her own sake but for God’s glory…(This also applies to the areas of business, education, government and the entertainment industry)
 
United States:

Though the news is saying the economy is getting better the exact opposite will prove to be true on many fronts as the economic recession increases dramatically though God’s people will actually be more blessed in the midst of this for those that are hearing what the Spirit is saying. Those that are hearing God’s directives will actually prosper more in this down time than at any other time before similar to when Egypt was shaken but Moses and the Israelites actually were the most blessed and protected for those that obeyed God’s commands the night they left Egypt during the first Passover.

Harvest of souls:

The greatest harvest of souls will be in the secular arena. The kingdom of God will start to really invade places in the marketplace in ways unheard of before. Many Christians are looking for the next church revival when in fact the move of God in regards to souls being saved will be happening all around in the secular arenas. The only way to not miss this beginning of a great invasion of the Kingdom of God and an entirely new harvest of souls is to be in the harvest and rubbing shoulders with the lost in some form infiltrating even the highest levels of secular society and markets.

Also the wealth will be transferred from the secular markets to many of God’s people for the use of the spread of the gospel. Many that are in full time ministry, God will require of them that their other gifts be used in the secular arena simultaneously as Paul was both tent maker and Apostle and his first followers like Priscilla in Italy came from his tent making business. (King and Priest models will be more and more common as opposed to only a preacher or only a secular marketplace person.)
Many in 2011 that have been preparing in the secret place for this are going to suddenly be propelled into secular places of influence and authority that will surprise many.
 
Youth Revival in Russian Speaking Nations

A fresh move of God will touch many young people in the Russian speaking nations that are desperate for something to live and die for having found emptiness in both communism and capitalism without Jesus. A spiritual revolution among the youth will ignite in Ukraine and spread to Russian and former Russian Speaking nations like Latvia, Lithuania etc. (I was able to see the beginnings of this move first hand this past summer as youth came from the entire Russian Speaking world totally on fire more than anything I have seen in the USA or elsewhere for that matter among the youth. Some drove for days from places like Siberia just to be there.)
 
South Korea/North Korea:

South Korea will experience another wave of a move of God as the conflict intensifies. North Korea will collapse very soon and there will be one Korea. I believe God has shown me this could happen in about 2 years where crusades are actually occurring in what is now the North Korean capitol. A huge virtually untapped harvest field of millions of souls will open up in North Korea. Despite fears that one Korea could weaken the South Korean economy as it did initially when the Berlin wall came down and Germany had to absorb east Germany into one, God will actually bless one Korea even more as it will become an even greater world economic center to bless the world. This year Korea will start to rapidly increase its relationship with Israel on many levels never seen before by South Korea. (I was just there December 10-18 and saw first hand the move of God starting with pastors from the entire nation travailing for a fresh move of God.)
 
Israel & Jewish Americans:

More and more Jewish people will start immigrating to Israel. Amazingly enough the economy of Israel will dramatically increase despite upcoming wars which God will use to cause many more Jewish people to make Aliyah moving to Israel eventually being more blessed there. A time of persecution against Jewish people that is hitting many nations will start in the USA (and worldwide) within the next few years which will be the result of a combination of blaming the Jewish people and Jewish run banking and financial systems and also an Israeli attack on one of her enemies causing oil prices to rise dramatically. There will be an increased burden from the Lord to pray for the over 5 million Jews in America for their salvation and for God’s protection. Many will be called upon to help them as they try to head back to Israel. Also a great burden to pray for Israel daily will increase especially in times of war and to help both Jewish believers in Israel and ministries that are actually doing the work of sharing the gospel, healing the sick, clothing and feeding the poor and orphans there. Believers who do this will be especially blessed as they will be touching the heart of God.  "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they that love thee shall prosper. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will say now, peace be within thee. For the sake of the House of the Lord our God I will seek thy good."(Ps. 122:6-8)
 
Glory/Presence Increase:

The power and presence of God will increase dramatically this year for those that purposely set aside extra time to be with God despite the temptation to get so busy so as not to reach the secret place of intimacy with God on a consistent basis.
 
Word of God:

In 2011 there will be a renewed fresh excitement in reading the Word of God as it will come alive again as never before for many. The daily study of the Word that many have forsaken will anchor and release fresh direction and wisdom. The greatest temptation will be to pray but not read the Word of God or to read the Word of God but not to press in until being refilled with the Holy Spirit. These two elements along, prayer and reading/meditating on the Word will be the making or breaking of many in this next season and prove to be vital in going back to the basics creating a hedge of protection, wisdom and glory.
 
Money:

Silver and Gold, especially silver will continue to prove to be the safest and most rewarding investment as a buffer from the economic collapses that will continue to occur despite the occasional ups and downs. Those that keep all their money in the banks or in most stocks could suffer great loss once again as in 2008 within the next 12-24 months or sooner.
 
Real Estate:

The best real estate to buy in the USA and other western nations will be land that produces crops, land that has water or water wells.
 
New Businesses:

Believers that have never had a business will start to create businesses to finance the kingdom. Even though the rate of start up businesses will be lower than ever among the general population, believers led by God with the favor of God will actually take the lead in successful start up businesses.
 
2nd Passports & 2nd Citizenships: God will start to lead many to seek their roots. Those that have parents and/or grandparents that were born abroad will start the process of applying for 2nd citizenships. This new trend will continue for Americans and especially God servants that travel often to preach the gospel. This will prove to be huge blessing as in the years to come there will be times that Marshall Law sets in due to national states of emergency for periods of time prohibiting Americans to leave the country for limited periods of time. Those with a 2nd foreign Passport will actually be able to travel back and forth much easier as opposed to totally being hindered in their international ministries during those times. Also support will start to flow from the nations to help these ministers as opposed to always raising the support from the USA. The 2nd passport will also help certain ministries during periods of persecution. Just as the Apostle Paul was put in jail without a trial for being a Jewish believer, his Roman citizenship got him back out of jail and on the road again spreading the gospel. This will also be especially beneficial for those that have a Jewish background as the Israeli passport will prove to be a huge blessing and allow for easy travel back and forth to Israel and the benefits that Israel offers to citizens especially in times of trouble overseas.
 
Foreign Property:

Some will be lead to purchase property in foreign nations which often leads to being given residency in many nations for those that own property there. This will be a double blessings for that that already hold residency or a foreign passport which will prove to be a 2nd base of operations for their ministry and a great investment shielding them from the economic downturn in the US dollar and U.S. real estate in certain nations that will not be as affected by the crisis as well as a 2nd home for God’s purposes. Again the crisis is meant for the world and if we listen to God’s voice we can actually be the most blessed and used of God to bring the Kingdom of God to the lost more that at any other time in our history!
