Yvon Attia: "It's a December to Remember!"

From the Desks of Steve Shultz and Julie A. Smith:

Are you ready for the enemy's plans to BACKFIRE in your life?

If so, you've got to read this NOW word from our friend Yvon Attia.

God always, always has the last say in everything...and any time the enemy thinks he's winning, his plans are actually backfiring as God brings greater victory your way.

You're going to receive incredible revelation in this article from Yvon as she shares this word from the Lord:

But then I heard Holy Spirit say, "I am defying the laws of nature. In other words, when the enemy oppresses My people, I not only offer an equal amount of freedom, but I do far and abundantly more. The more oppression, the bigger the victory, the influence, and the more grace and favor given to My covenant people."

For some of you, your victory will be so abundantly big...and beyond anything you can ask or think!

We are celebrating victory with you! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

As I was seeking the Lord for the month of December, I started to hear these words in my spirit: "The more the enemy tries to oppress you, the more I will prosper and multiply you."

I was very excited to hear this, and I also remembered that there is a verse in the Bible that is in line with these words. As I started to search the Scriptures, I found this verse: "But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became" (Exodus 1:12).

The Enemy's Plan: Limiting Growth

I held on to this verse and started to read around it, seeking the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. Interestingly, God started to speak about the destruction of evil governments and the establishment of His Government here on Earth. The plans of both earthly and heavenly governments will be revealed.

In this specific part of the Bible, God's covenant people were growing and multiplying. As a result, the pharaoh of Egypt became indignant of their growth and said, "...Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more..." (Exodus 1:9).

We get to see that the enemy's plans are to keep God's people from growing and prospering. The method of limiting growth will also be exposed. The pharaoh of Egypt attempted to limit their growth by oppressing them, making them slaves and appointing brutal slave drivers over them, hoping to wear them down with crushing labor (Exodus 1:11). These methods have not changed much; they can be seen and are used by evil governments and evil authorities today. The idea is to oppress God's people and wear them out, causing them to lose hope and to be discouraged.

God's Plan: Defying Nature

In the same chapter, God's plans are also revealed. The Bible tells us, "But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became" (Exodus 1:12).

As I took this deeper into prayer, I heard Holy Spirit remind me of Newton's Third Law: Action and Reaction. This is one of the laws of nature, and it basically states that for every action (force) in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if the enemy is exerting a level of oppression, then God will equally oppose that level of oppression! (Photo via Flickr)

But then I heard Holy Spirit say, "I am defying the laws of nature. In other words, when the enemy oppresses My people, I not only offer an equal amount of freedom, but I do far and abundantly more. The more oppression, the bigger the victory, the influence, and the more grace and favor given to My covenant people."

God is not limited to the laws of the universe. He transcends them – overcomes them – by His great power, and He does it in the most unusual manner.

In Exodus chapter 1, oppression continued to increase. The pharaoh of Egypt issued a decree that all male-born children must be killed. He gave this order to the Hebrew midwives: "'When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver. If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.' But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king's orders. They allowed the boys to live, too" (Exodus 1:16-17).

So the Government of Heaven was at work, and even under this great oppression, God's people prospered and multiplied. Not only that, but a leader who would later deliver God's people was born under this great oppression. This was the time when Moses was born, and when his mother could not hide him anymore, she let him go in the River Nile. But even then, God gave him favor in the eyes of Pharaoh's daughter, and let him live.

This Is the Month of Birthing and Exodus

I heard God say, "This is a month of birthing, and do not despise what I birth through you."

Moses, whose name means "drawn out of water," was saved from drowning in the river and was called by God to deliver his people. What could have drown him became his haven and survival. God protected him and gave him favor with Pharaoh's daughter. "[The people] cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act" (Exodus 2:23-25, emphasis mine).

God is getting ready to judge injustice. God is getting ready to act and establish His Government rule. Deliverance is coming, for God is taking His people out of Egypt (slavery and oppression) and into the Promised Land (provision and rule). This is the month of our Exodus, and the "Egyptians" we see now will never be seen again (Exodus 14:13). This is a season of miraculous deliverance. God is at work, and He will be our great warrior.

Stripping the Enemy Bare

Moses had no idea what or how it would happen, but God made a way. God said, "So I will raise My hand and strike the Egyptians, performing all kinds of miracles among them. Then at last he will let you go. And I will cause the Egyptians to look favorably on you. They will give you gifts when you go so you will not leave empty-handed. Every Israelite woman will ask for articles of silver and gold and fine clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and from the foreign women in their houses. You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of their wealth" (Exodus 3:20-22).

This is a season of stripping the enemy bare. It is the season, and specifically the month, when God's covenant people will see vindication, restoration and the mighty hand of God judging His enemies! The mission cannot be aborted! (Photo via Raw Pixel)

Get Ready for Increase and Multiplication

I heard the Lord say, "Many are thinking, Oh, it's the last month of the year, so I should be getting ready to settle accounts and wrap up unfinished business. But Holy Spirit says, 'My timing is not your timing. I am outside of time! I will move things and do things beyond your understanding or imagination.'

"This oppression is bringing increase, like My people who were oppressed by the Egyptians. They oppressed them to limit their supernatural increase; but the more they oppressed them, the more they increased and multiplied. I am not getting ready to slow down or wind up; I am getting ready for increase and multiplication. I am breaking every barrier that's stopping your increase and drowning every insult. In fact, I am using this oppression as fuel for your increase and abundant blessings.

"Get ready to see My great deliverance. Get ready to see unexpected doors open out of no where. I made a way in the waters, a way which was supernatural to My people. My breath parted the sea and I walked before them in front and from behind. My presence will surround, engulf and shield you, for you have come to Me for refuge.

"I remind you today that no weapon formed against you will prosper. Rejoice through this oppression for it's bringing increase. I am opening a fiery portal of My presence over you, and wherever you go, I will be pouring out favor and increase.

"I have not left you, nor have I forsaken you, for you are loved and precious in My eyes. Look at My Son Jesus: He was oppressed beyond measure; He was rejected and crushed unto death; but I raised Him up, and My Spirit resurrected everything in Him. I see your oppression, and I am here to tell you that I will not release an equal and opposite reaction. I am getting ready to overcome this oppression with My great power and supernaturally bless, increase and multiply you; for I love you beyond any measure.

"Let Me remind you again: it has started, and My plans in your life cannot be aborted. Rejoice! I'm here."
