Jon and
Jolene Hamill: "Awakening the Dawn--People of the First Light"
 In
a recent Elijah List posting, we wrote about a fresh move of God to cleanse His
people of generational bondage. (To view click here:
www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/4077.)
Zechariah 3 is a picture of this, with Joshua the High Priest being
released from the "filthy garments" of generational sin, and re-mantled with
fresh garments and a restored commissioning.
Words cannot express the sense of awe Jolene and I have felt, as we shared this
word in recent trips to New England, and literally watched the Hand of God move
in healing and deliverance. He loves to bring freedom to His cherished ones!
Freedom from Embedded Grief
Two clear directives have emerged from these ministry times. First, God is
washing away embedded grief from His people. In this season, many have become
aware that they are carrying grief or sorrow in their hearts. If this is
you--God has allowed you to connect with the pain because His heart aches for
your healing. Ask Him to fully heal you, to wash away any residue of embedded
grief.
While ministering on this, the Lord led Jolene to take up one of the most
unusual offerings we have ever seen. We all gave our best. Soon the offering
bucket was overflowing with tear-soaked Kleenex!
God was telling us that if we would sow in tears, we would reap in joy. If
you're in this season, God wants you to know, that your spent tissues are the
most valuable and precious offering you can place before His Throne. Pour out
your heart to Him, even with tears. I pray that you will be refreshed with joy
as the Lord crosses you over into His new season for you.
Rending the Garments of Grief
The second directive on God's heart is significantly related to the first. The
Spirit of God showed me that the restoration prophesied in
Zechariah 3, is a direct picture of His "now" work on behalf of
Native Americans.
For eleven years, I have been watching over and praying into a word given by
Kenneth Copeland regarding Native Americans. In a vision, he saw a dark cloud
over the entirety of North America. He wrote that this cloud was a garment of
grief, addiction, and oppression over Native American people.
As Brother Copeland began to cry out in intercession, he saw the hand of the
Lord come to the far northeastern part of the United States, and rend this
terrible garment all the way across the nation. Tremendous light poured in as
this garment was torn off, and a covenant people awakened. Brother Copeland
watched the Lord introduce Himself to Native tribes as King of Kings, Lord of
Lords, and Chief of Chiefs--as their Creator--and prophesied a coming season of
reconciliation and restitution on behalf of tribes across the land.
What a picture of Zechariah 3!
When you think of God's hand moving among Native Americans, you probably think
of Alaska, or Kansas, or Florida, or Indiana...but probably not the northeast.
Why would God's hand come to the "far northeastern part of the US"--to New
England?
I personally believe it's because this is where the Pilgrims and Native
Americans first came into covenant with the Lord and with each other. And it's
from New England, that the grief over lost heritage due to covenant-breaking,
has been so greatly empowered.
People of the First Light
Amazingly, the first Native tribe reached with the gospel by the Pilgrims, were
the Wampanoag's, whose name literally means "the people of the first light."
They welcomed the Pilgrims in much the same way that Melchizadek greeted
Abraham--with hospitality, blessing, and provision that kept them alive during
their first winter.
As God moved in their midst, He gave them such a passion for His presence, that
they soon became known as "praying Indians." How prophetic that they were called
"People of the First Light"--those who awaken the dawn!
Unfortunately, the descendents of the Pilgrims did not keep the covenants their
fathers established. Please remember that these covenants were made between
Christians--between brothers bought by the same Precious Blood!
Angels of Covenant
Elijah List readers may be familiar with a recent posting by my friend Danny
Steyne, which recounted a recent visitation where a New England pastor was shown
"angels of fire" now poised to bring forth the fullness of this emerging
awakening. (To view, click here: (http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/4266.)
I happened to be ministering on the night of Pastor Carabollo's visitation. Here
is his description:
"He (The Lord) introduced me to the angels of FIRE. He told me that these were
the Lord's COVENANT angels. He said that power is released when they combine and
work together."
It is significant that these angels of fire are "angels of covenant." I believe
this grace of the Lord for awakening and societal transformation, is part of our
covenantal heritage and destiny as a nation. In fact, the Lord gave me the
phrase "Covenantal Awakening" to describe His present move.
As a descendent of the Pilgrims, who covenanted with the Lord for this land, let
me be very clear: There is no such thing as Covenantal Awakening without the
justice of our Creator being manifested to restore honor, heritage, freedom, and
destiny to our brothers and sisters in the Native American community, just as
Kenneth Copeland has prophesied. Just as with Joshua in
Zechariah 3, The Lord is rebuking satan, breaking off the garments
of generational grief, oppression and addiction, and re-mantling His people to
fulfill their God-given destiny. The praying Indians are arising again!
No More Delay
Regarding this promise, I am reminded of the picture in
Revelation 10:6, of an angel swearing by an oath "No more delay."
With all my heart, I believe the word of the Lord over this promised work is "No
more delay." It is literally as though these angels that Pastor Carabollo saw,
angels of covenant assigned to help bring forth this move of awakening, have
been inspired to make a similar oath before the Ancient of Days. A new move
of deliverance is now at hand. NO MORE DELAY--the time is now!
Wampanoag Fire
 In
this awakening, the Hand of the Lord is coming to the Wampanoag tribe, as well
as other tribes in the land. In the night seasons, many among you will come face
to face with your Creator. You will see that you were created in His image,
brought forth from the fire in His eyes.
Many among you will awaken in the morning and wonder, "What just happened to
me? For in my heart a weight has lifted, and I feel free."
"This is My work," says the
Lord, "the work of My Hand!"
Also a unique happening will soon become the talk of the
people. For the Lord will blow again on Nantucket and Cape Cod, and even in
governmental cities across the land to disperse the cloud of death that has held
your heritage in desolation.
Your dry bones will live, says the Lord. People of the
Dawn, your best days are just ahead. "No man can deny you
your Name," says the Lord,
"for it is written on the palm of My Hand."
Great Ball of Fire
To close this word, I'd like to recount another portion of the posting by Danny
Steyne of Pastor Carabollo's visitation. He wrote:
"Jon Hamill said that some people had FIRE in their hands, and they needed to
pray for the person that was next to them. An angel turned, looked at me, and
threw a ball of fire at me--I was able to catch it in my right hand. The angel
then reached over and put his hand in the ball of FIRE and said to me, 'How much
do you want this ball of FIRE?' I replied, 'Very much.'"
I strongly doubt that Pastor Carabollo had any idea of this, but what he was
seeing dramatically mirrors a game indigenous to the Wampanoag Indians. The game
is literally called "Fireball." It's kind of like soccer, except in their case,
the ball is literally on fire. Tribal men toss the ball to team members to
advance towards the goal--very similar to the interaction Pastor Carabollo
described between him and the angel.
I believe the Angel of the Lord, this Angel of Covenant, this Angel of Holy
Fire, is asking us the same question he asked Pastor Carabollo--"How much do you
want this fire of awakening?" There's a goal to be made, and there may be pain
and sacrifice involved.
Mirroring the One whose pain brought our healing, please stand in the gap for
the Wampanoag's, and for Native Americans across the land, to again be awakened
by the fire of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As Kenneth Copeland saw--Let the Hand of the Lord now
come!

most of our readers know, we at The Elijah List absolutely LOVE the ministry of
grace and restoration. Danny Steyne's book

Steyne's book,
When Bruised Reeds Break, is the best book for expressing the heart of
God for broken people I have ever read... I was moved to tears as I read Danny's
story... I highly recommend this book to every pastor, elder, deacon, and anyone
else wondering about the heart of God and the issues pertaining to restoration."

 "Captured"
by Alberto & Kimberly Rivera
$15.00
Music CD
Many times human
words cannot express the deep things of our spirit man. The Holy
Spirit Himself intercedes for us with "groaning too deep for
words." Hence, engaging the realms of eternity with simply
releasing "sounds," positions us to go to deeper places in God
through His Spirit, which "searches the deep things of God."
Scientists tell us that light and sound are closely related, so
releasing sound just might be a good thing! "God is light!"
We carry inside of us the River, Fire, and Wind of the Spirit,
and all of these earthly elements make the "sound of Heaven" or
the "sound of many waters" mentioned in scriptures. As we
release sound, especially in a corporate setting, consciously
connecting hidden and unspoken feelings to that sound, doors or
gates open into Heavenly places. We begin to experience the
atmosphere of Heaven, where we are seated with Christ, our true
position as sons and daughters of the Living God. We ARE
citizens of Heaven NOW! Awesome!!
We hope the remainder of the songs will be a blessing to you.
May they greatly encourage you in your journey as you receive
your inheritance and possess the land under your feet! --In
His Joy! Alberto & Kimberly
Whether
your heart is longing for passionate worship, or maybe you just want to run away with God, then this CD by the
Rivera's will not leave you disappointed. Get ready for spontaneous, sweet, prophetic worship that will create an atmosphere saturated with God's presence. This CD
is like divine, precious oil flowing from the heart of God
pouring right into your heart, and is sure to deliver a holy soaking!
--Blessings,
Steve Shultz, The Elijah List
