It started mid-morning and escalated throughout the day. So far, it looks like most of the sites are back up and running. It's probably too soon to tell exactly what happened, but the fact that it did put everyone on notice.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Communication blackouts are happening.<\/strong>&nbsp;They've already been happening in other parts of the world. The question is:&nbsp;<em>will they happen again, and on a larger scale, for a longer period of time?<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Numerous prophetic words have been given in the past about blackouts coming, and some prophets have been describing power outages coming as well. I myself recently shared this word the Lord gave me in 2019:&nbsp;<strong>\"Holy Spirit is resetting the power grid.\"&nbsp;<\/strong>These words about a divine reset will most certainly bring major upheaval and change \u2013 first in the spirit, but then also in the natural.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are in the midst of an epic, transformative shift on the earth, and we shouldn't be surprised to see the power grids of men impacted by the power surges of Heaven. Even so, our prayers of intercession can avert the worst of any scenario and help prepare the way for a redemptive work of Heaven.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given this reality, many have been asking, \"How do we prepare?\" Though our first priority must be our&nbsp;<em>spiritual response<\/em>&nbsp;and attending to the condition of our hearts, we should also be considering our preparations in the natural.&nbsp;<strong>I would like to suggest several things to consider as we continue to watch, pray, and prepare: <a href=\"https:\/\/elijahlist.com\/words\/display_word.html?ID=26229\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE AT ELIJAH LIST &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2021-10-06 13:15:01","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2021-10-06 13:18:22","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2021-10-06 13:16:29","publish_up":"2021-10-06 13:16:29","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":3,"ordering":"0","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"0","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
