This is a great word because John Belt released exactly the same word today. You gotta like the double confirmation for the double blessing. What am I believing for? EVERYTHING!
Thief is found out. He owes 7X. God pile 2X on top of that. Big returns. Come on, LORD!
By Lana Vawser
Acceleration is falling in unexpected places. The Lord is changing things suddenly. The Lord is rearranging and there are divine interruptions happening in the lives of God’s people at such a pace, unlike anything I have ever seen. The SUDDENLIES of God are truly upon us.
The enemy knows these SUDDENLIES are upon us and they are being birthed right now and he is attempting to bring confusion upon the promise, but he will not succeed for the Lord has decreed that ACCELERATION is falling in unexpected places.
A sudden UNVEILING has been happening as the Lord unveils next steps and what He has been planning and the increase that is upon God’s people. God truly is releasing the DOUBLE PORTION right now. God’s people have walked through SO much trouble and trial, but the Lord is now releasing DOUBLE blessing. He is increasing EXPECTANCY in His people as they draw close to Him for what He is doing. Discouragement and confusion is attempting to steal the promise, but I decree over you tonight in Jesus name, that as you continue to hold His hand, trust and obey, your promise will NOT be aborted. The enemy is fighting SIGNIFICANT promises right now and one way is through confusion and discouragement, but another way I saw him attempting to abort the promise is by whispering to God’s people “That’s not really God. That’s your heart’s desire” leaving many discouraged and despondent.
I heard the Lord say “DOUBLE BLESSING! DOUBLE BLESSING! DOUBLE BLESSING”. You are going to move not only into hearts desires and promises fulfilled but there will be DOUBLE blessing and there will be DOUBLE CONFIRMATION. The Lord is confirming and will keep confirming His way, His plan, and this is a time where DOUBLE PORTIONS of JOY will be restored to you.
“When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing, but when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul” – Proverbs 13:12 (The Passion Translation)
Many of you have felt that dream drag on and on and the delay has been depressing, but God is taking your depression and sadness and He will satisfy your soul with the SWEETNESS of the dream come true. The SWEETNESS OF THE SUDDENLY!!!!
Don’t be afraid to throw yourself “ALL IN” to the “unexpected places” that God is leading you into. Don’t be afraid to trust Him. He is leading you into a place of greater SWEETNESS and JOY in the DOUBLE PORTION. Many are surprised that the Lord is now saying “STEP IN” to a dream they have been waiting for, for a long time, and I saw a WATERFALL of the revelation of His goodness being released upon them.
But the wonderful thing is, not only are you going to step into a dream fulfilled, but you are going to carry MORE, DOUBLE!!!!
WINDS OF ACCELERATION FALLING UPON THE RIVERS OF REST
The winds of acceleration are falling upon the rivers of rest. The Lord is bringing a deeper rest to many believers right now, as many are weary, discouraged and feeling empty. The Lord is shifting and moving things and He is making more room for His people to come into rest. Heart rest, emotional and mental rest and physical rest. The Lord is “making room” and in that place of rest, the Lord is adding increase. Out of the place of rest, from the ‘lying down in the rivers of rest’, there will be greater fruitfulness, favour, increase and positioning. Don’t fight the plan of God and the moving and shifting of God bringing rest. Don’t fight the plan of God if He moves you from more “doing” to “being”. The enemy is working hard in this season of acceleration to burn many out in busyness, anxiety, fear and discouragement, but the Lord is bringing rest. Friends, lean in. Rest your head upon His chest and continue to listen to His heart and you will hear His whisper that “All is well” and you are not being delayed, you are actually moving into more than you ever imagined possible. (1 Corithians 2:9)
“MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE?”
I heard the Lord speaking over many “May I have this dance?” and it was an invitation into a level of intimacy, a deeper rhythm of His heart, a new song, that they had never experienced before. The joy that bubbled up in the hearts of those who accepted His invitation was like the JOY of the FIRST MOMENT they met Him – the moment of salvation. I saw Him recapturing hearts. Hearts that are weary, have lost passion, have lost hunger, where intimacy has been hindered, where the foxes of fear have come in and wrecked havoc upon the vineyard of intimacy with Him, there’s a WHOLE NEW WORLD of intimacy with Him now opening up. A new invitation to know Him, move with Him, and encounter His heart, unlike anything they had ever seen. The fire of the first love was burning brighter than ever.
I saw specifically where DISAPPOINTMENT had created a wall between them and Jesus, He was melting those walls away, and He was placing in their hearts as they danced a SCROLL OF DESTINY. Upon this SCROLL was His words of truth and destiny. Where there had been great pain of DISAPPOINTMENT, He was now releasing greater revelation of DESTINY and RECONNECTION was taking place.
The Lord is extending His hand…
He is whispering…
“May I have this dance?”
I encourage you to accept His invitation, and a whole new world of intimacy, a new song, a new dance, a new rhythm is about to open up before you. You will burn with love for Him stronger and deeper than you have ever experienced and the fire of His love that burns in His eyes for you, will baptise you afresh.

“This is the Month of the Double!” John Belt, Cincinnati, OH
“But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, they shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast. Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.” Isaiah 61:6-7
When I was seeking the Lord about the month of September, He spoke to me that this is the month of the “double”. It was immediately confirmed through different events that happened twice in just a few days. Believe God for His double blessing on your life – that you may be a double blessing to others. This is a month of double honor and a double portion, and a time for blessing and promotion.
Shifts, Changes, Dream of New Mantles
“We are to believe for double in many areas. What do you want to believe God for? What is the double you are believing for?”
Some have been in a season of hard work. In the month of September, God is releasing the double with promotion where a shift will happen that will take people from a place of hard labor into a place where the work has a greater oil and ease to it. Expect the Lord to bring a shift in your life that will bring you to a higher place of blessing, prosperity and the fresh air of His Spirit, where it is easier for you to breathe. Many people are ready for a change, a shift, and God is going to give it.
“And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, ‘Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?’ Elisha said, ‘Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.'” 2 Kings 2:9
After the Lord spoke to me concerning this being the month of double, I received a dream about mantles of anointing being given. Just as Elisha was asking for the mantle of Elijah we should pursue after the double of His anointing for our lives. In this dream the Lord was saying, “I know what you want” with a smile. He is willing to give these mantles out to those who pursue Him.
The Blessing of Double Doors Opening Wide
“Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—
To subdue nations before him
And loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:
“I will go before you
And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.” Isaiah 45:1-3
After the fall of Babylon to Cyrus, King of Persia, exiled Judeans were permitted to return to Judah. King Cyrus was used by God to issue the decree to rebuild the house of God (Ezra 6:3, Isaiah 44:28). God used Cyrus and decreed to open the “double doors” before Him continually, where those spiritual doors would never be shut. As well as we see God promising to make His paths straight, to bring breakthrough (breaking the bars of iron), giving treasures in obscurity, even the hidden riches. (Photo via Unsplash)
What this reveals is how much God will support us building “the house of His presence”. This is not the house of man, but the house of God. The Lord totally backs us when we are out to create a place for Him to dwell. He will open up the double doors, making our paths straight, and give us the hidden riches as well.
“Even them I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.” Isaiah 56:7
Believe God is Good
Here are some points to consider and believe for:
“He will open up the double doors, making our paths straight and give us the hidden riches as well.”
1. Understand it is the nature of God to bless, bring increase and promote. When God sees faithfulness, He brings reward and greater blessings because of His goodness.
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
2. Believe God for “the double” – that He would pour out blessing that you “cannot contain” where you don’t even have room enough to receive it. This is where our tithes and offerings are so important. If we don’t bring them, we are robbing God. But not only that, we are not helping to build the House of His presence, a place for Him to dwell. Just as God backed King Cyrus in His commitment to decree the house of God to be built and to supply for it, (Ezra 6:8), He will also back us as we are committed to building His house of prayer and worship.
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of Hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of Heaven and pour out for you a blessing, that there will not be room enough to receive it. I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground, and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,” says the Lord of Hosts. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,” says the Lord of Hosts. Malachi 3:10-12
We are to believe for double in many areas. What do you want to believe God for? What is the double you are believing for?
3. Position yourself to receive that overflow where your cup literally runs over with His presence and blessing. (Photo via freedesignfile)
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:5-6
Even in the presence of your enemies, God is able and wants to prepare a table, anoint you and cause your cup of your life to overflow with His glory. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
