Intro from Garris Elkins:
It is a special honor to introduce to you my wife, Jan Elkins. She is a spiritual mother to many people around the world. Her books of blessings have circulated through all spheres of culture. I have personally been influenced by these blessings. I have seen the spiritual atmosphere of gatherings shift under the anointing of a blessing, imparting the supernatural word of the Lord.
The Lord has placed along the path of our future the sudden, miraculous works of His presence. Our response in faith ignites the potential of those supernatural works.
As the new year approaches, read this blessing Jan crafted from Scripture taken from the book of Isaiah. We believe this word is timely for the new decade we are about to enter. Draw from it the assurance that God is at work in you, making you ready for a sudden work of His Spirit. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Isaiah 29:1-8 - A Blessing of Suddenlies and Deliverance"
Jan Elkins, Medford, OR
In Isaiah 29:1-8, Isaiah is not speaking just about a specific time in history, but a truth about what God is like for His people and how He responds toward their enemies. He prophesies sudden deliverance (Isaiah 29:5-6; 37:36-38). Below is a blessing I've written inspired from this truth:
God's Blessing Over You
In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless your spirit with His preserving favor – the wonder of living in His presence. Whether experiencing great blessing or distress, you are always directly face to face with Him.
When trouble hems you in on all sides, keep looking to God – persevere in hope.
If humbled by adversity and under great stress and duress – filled with sorrow and fear – your voice reduced to a whispered prayer – believe deeper still in God's word to you: He has already spoken deliverance!
Your enemy considers himself powerful, yet that is how completely he is deceived: he is culpable and he will be humbled; his power doesn't compare to the awesome ease of divine action.
This is what God is like:
He will dispatch the threat, completely removing it – forgotten as though just a dream. Divine deliverance will happen suddenly in a dramatic, last-minute instant – it will happen!
Without minimizing the reality of evil and human culpability, you are learning to no longer be run around by the sounds of discord and noise; you are no longer at the mercy of earthly forces. I bless you with a deepening faith – no longer living on Earth as though you are dealing with secondary causes.
You are blessed with a direct face to face relationship with the Lord Almighty in every circumstance:
• He is sovereign in history,
• He is your Higher Reality,
• He will have the last word and it is a word of deliverance.
