The Grandmas Are Coming by Julia Loren

Julia Loren:

The Grandmas Are Coming

The Elijah List

I was just waking up, and in that drowsy state it was as if an angel whispered in my ear, "The grandmothers are coming." 

I could have dismissed it as the tail edge of a dream, but the next morning I heard it again. And the following morning. Finally, I sat up and began listening for the more complete word the Lord was speaking. It was just about a week ago that a more complete word emerged, and this is what I believe the Lord is speaking:

"The grandmothers are coming. They are the young grandmothers who are seeing in the spirit and the older grandmothers who have seen in the spirit. Their revelatory insights are coming to the foreground – now that so many other distractions of life are falling away.

"In an instant, the weighted ceiling of the enemy's oppression will shatter and the grandmothers will rise up into the heavenlies and see more clearly than ever before.

Let your spirit soar! For it will not be as before. 

The brokenness of the years are releasing a new fragrance to your prayers, to your nurturing touch, and adding joy to your years.

"You are of the age to receive an 'Anna Anointing,' and it is being poured out for any who will receive it.

The anointing to see the unseen potential in the infant, the child, the teen, and the young adult and call it forth is yours for the asking.

It is like the Anna in the temple who took the infant Jesus in her arms and saw the light of the world and his destiny. And because of your age, you will be received. And because of your anointing, you will be heard.

"It is a gentle anointing. It is a nurturing anointing that calls life into infant hearts, infant ministries, and stands back to bless and intercede, rather than stepping forward to direct and care for that which you see emerging.

It is the freedom of a grandmother to bless and not have to undertake the responsibility for the care and feeding of another's child or ministry. It is the joy of a grandmother to see what is emerging and 'gentle' it into birth."

In Luke 2:36-38, we read about Anna, a widow who happened to be a woman given to prayer: "Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem."

How did she see the true identity of this infant?

She entered into continual awareness of God's presence through prayer.

Prayer was the intimate dialog between herself and God, her true and constant Companion who met her in prayer and would tell her His secrets (see Luke8:10) because of their close relationship.

So, if you are a grandmother, this is your time to "see" the unseen in the younger ones among us and call it forth. The world has need of you. And what is to come needs those who will call it out in the young and release it through intercession.

Strategies of the Conflict & Countering Evil Strategies - Morris Ruddick

Strategies of the Conflict

Spiritually, at the core of the dynamic unfolding is the battle between God's blueprint and the blueprint of the devil. The heroes of faith are the ones who identify God's blueprint. They pay the cost and prevail so that God's purposes are established. The bottom line in Kingdom leadership is discerning God's blueprint in a situation and in a people and then bringing it forth for those they lead.


One of the more subtle deceptions operating in the Body today is the myopia of those whose focus is in discerning the devil's blueprint for a situation and then trying to stamp it out. That was never the pattern for God's best; for establishing His order. The heroes of faith face the fire and give birth to restoring God's order.

The subtlety is that it is never about what we can do for God, but rather what we allow God to do through us. Otherwise, when the fires come, we are overwhelmed; we're blinded and fall victim to the full impact of the devil's blueprint.


There are firestorms raging in the heavenlies. It's important to be discerning the right things. It's important not to be overreacting. It is likewise vital when God tell us to act, to be prepared and to know how to do it decisively.

Countering Evil Strategies

So it is when I see something in someone else, such as a blind spot, that I begin by searching my own heart for blind-spots. EVEN if it is only at a 1% level, I first repent for the beam in my eye, before I can truly begin to intercede for them.


This truth ties into a subtlety with which witchcraft/sorcery tries to entwine itself within those who love God. This process, in intercession, of first removing any elements of a "beam" in your own eye, helps to flag and remove the subtle snares that so mark the times we have entered.


This process helps eliminate the defilements that can be picked up when penetrating enemy territory. It keeps us in that place of fearing God and no other; a dimension that is needed to break the bondage of corruption.


It is the reason why judgment first comes to the household of faith. When properly responded to, the judgment that first comes to the household of faith, becomes the means of "turning" that brings the restoration of God's order. It's another reason why we fear God and no other.

Signs of the Times

Less than two weeks before this Indonesian mission, I received a revelation. It bears on the timing of this, our first mission to Indonesia. In short, there is a network, an evil infrastructure in the natural that parallels and fuels the activities emanating from the dark spiritual world; being orchestrated by high-level principalities; which has been subtly preparing for intrusions to spread its tentacles.


It targets seats of power and influence. It has epicenters around the world, recognizable only by the "swirls" of confusion, division, counterfeit religious influences, along with demoralization and the dismantling-type of destruction that is manifesting like huge "sink-holes." This evil infrastructure involves shrouded, entangled funding and investors from interests with legitimate business covers which reflect very subtle and distorted connections.


Its largely unreported and shrouded activities range from human trafficking; to the abortion trade, but also pograms reemerging in places like Russia; and initiatives to undermine Israel; and strategies to divide the Body. Insights into this shadowed, creeping evil can be gleaned from the stories of Gideon and the sword of the Lord against the Midianites; as does the story of Joseph in preparing; as does the story of Daniel and his influence in changing the spiritual culture of an infrastructure of sorcery.


A Time of Preparation

The Joseph-type preparations underway by those with ears to hear are a significant counterforce to these hidden gateways of evil. That's why the mobilization of the marketplace is so key; it's one of those "secret things" that the Jewish people have wielded over the centuries. So it has been, as we've ministered around the globe, the Lord is connecting us with those who are mobilized and those who are preparing.


An important key in all this will be the ones to be given a voice and influence that counteracts and disentangles these hidden gateways of evil. The importance of Jew and Gentile, operating as "one new man" in all this is going to be very strategic. Likewise, there is emerging, a very significant and unexpected impact that will result from heretofore under-the-radar and new, unconventional Christian media initiatives; along with alliances with "righteous" mainstream secular media outlets.


All this calls for heightened discretion and discernment; and a need NOT to give in to, nor especially to overreact to the enticements and diversions of "blind passions" or religious spirits. The snare is in premature action which short-circuits the needed preparation.


Back in 2006, after hearing of the tsunami that had hit Indonesia, I cried out to the Lord for the people. The Lord then gave me insight into this event. It came from Psalm 107. Knowing of the tragedies of persecution against believers that had preceded this event, Psalm 107 unveils that when God's people are "brought low through oppression, affliction and sorrow," there comes a time when the Lord pours out "contempt" (His judgment) on princes (those who abuse power). Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction and makes their families and communities like a flock. The righteous see it and rejoice and all iniquity stops in its tracks. So it has happened in Indonesia. The church in Indonesia is a forerunner for our times.


Discerning the Shifts and What's Next

There's more. But in short, there has been a paradigm shift. We need to understand that shift as we discern the times; and glean from the wisdom of what has been unfolding in these most vibrant Asian segments of the Body. We need to understand what's next.
