Ben Lim: "You Have Passed the Test!"

The Elijah List Nov 7, 2018

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I believe this recent word by Ben Lim will bring life and refreshing to your innermost being!

I am really impressed with this Millennial minister Ben Lim...who carries wisdom beyond his years!

Just read this most encouraging exhortation to the Body and it will really speak to many of you right where you're at:

So many people have just endured the greatest trials and warfares of their lives. This is because there is a great reward that is coming. So many have gone through the most grotesque and heinous attacks on their integrity and character in the last season. However, the Lord is now turning things around. The bitterness is turning sweet and you are crossing over into the Promised Land. The Lord is anointing you, not to die out in the wilderness, but to walk out and through. You will not die, but you shall live! You shall walk through and not be scathed.

Be encouraged that you have passed the test...and great is your reward! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"You Have Passed the Test!"

Ben Lim, Los Angeles, CA

The Lord began speaking to me about a week ago, saying aloud, that you have passed the test! I declare to you, Church: You have passed the test. THE TEST IS OVER.

So many people have just endured the greatest trials and warfare of their lives. This is because there is a great reward that is coming. So many have gone through the most grotesque and heinous attacks on their integrity and character in the last season. However, the Lord is now turning things around. The bitterness is turning sweet and you are crossing over into the Promised Land. The Lord is anointing you, not to die out in the wilderness, but to walk out and through. You will not die, but you shall live! You shall walk through and not be scathed.

"The Lord is distinguishing His Church with a fire that cannot be extinguished."

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." (Isaiah 43:2)

I declare over you: The test is over! The test is over! The test is over.

Breaking the Cycles Through Submission

At the same time, I saw that we are living in the days where man-made forms and agendas will fall. But I declare over you who've been found faithful, tried and true: His voice is leading you through. You shall pass over, BREAKING THE CYCLES.

God is wanting to move us from glory to glory, but we must be willing to submit. You cannot have glory without submission. And you cannot have resurrection glory without death. You must die daily. You must die to yourself so that every single habit, thought pattern, and cycle of pride and carnality will be broken off of you in Jesus' name.

No longer will you go around and around the merry-go-round of Christianity, struggling with a certain sin and a sickness for years and decades. No longer will you struggle with broken relationships and destruction for generations. The Lord is bringing deliverance to you. The Lord is bringing healing to you in Jesus' name. The continual cycles of broken relationships, slander and gossip stop now.

Receive your healing. The curse is broken and the cycle is destroyed. Your season of wandering around and around the mountain for 40 years ends now. It is time for you to enter into the Promise Land. YOU WILL NOT DIE IN THE WILDERNESS. The wilderness is not your home, the glory of God is. The wilderness is not where you belong, the land of milk and honey is. The Lord will cause you to possess the fat of the land. The wilderness is the place where little boys are turned into men... where children are turned into spiritual giants, and slaves are turned into worshipers. (Photo via Unsplash)

Facing the Wilderness

The Lord wants you to willingly walk through the wilderness as the Spirit of the Lord led Jesus into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1). You cannot be like Jesus without facing the wilderness. You cannot have the greater glory without willingly choosing to drink of His cup of suffering. The Lord will give you His new wine, but it is possessed through the process of the pressing. The Lord is pressing the wine. You will not die in the wilderness, Church! You will not die in mist of all of the trials and tribulations. You will not be left behind in the agony of the garden. The Lord is your defender, and when you walk through the tests and trials of life, the Lord will speak on your behalf.

It is FINISHED!

IT IS FINISHED! I believe what just happened with the Supreme Count is a prophetic sign to this generation. The MOST HIGH has spoken. The MOST SUPREME Court has spoken. When God speaks, it is done and it is finished. The jurisdiction of Heaven will nullify every false word, falsely spoken curse, and every vex and hex in Jesus' name. The gavel is smashing the idols. The power of God is destroying the false statues of Nebuchadnezzar and Dagon.

The anointing is breaking the yoke. Every yoke of religion and Jezebellic soul tie be broken off of you in Jesus' name! Your prayers and your prophecies are working. Your purity is being honored and your pressing through is blessing you. Do not give up Church! Though you have gone through the greatest Hellish warfare of your life, do not give up. The Lord is going to cause you to pass, and you will pass the test and be confirmed.

"You cannot have glory without submission. And you cannot have resurrection glory without death."

"I CONFIRM YOU. And no Hellish hordes of demons and devils can stop that," says the Lord. "Watch what I will do! The enemy tried to kill you because he was afraid of you, but watch what I will do with you. I will use you to be like a hammer and a sword in My hand, to smash and destroy all principalities,"says the Lord. "Because you have been forged in the fire, you will be used for greater purposes. Your patience and your prayers have caused you to shine. Shine on, My son. Shine on, My daughter. I CONFIRM you and AFFIRM you."

Willingness: the Key to Promotions and Upgrades

Many of us have passed the test. That is why we are here right now. Listen, the devil wanted you to die and wither in the desert, but you are here. It hasn't been easy being a Believer but you are still here, and the Lord is about to honor you! You are about to enter into the greatest glory of your life. The Lord is about to do something so supernatural through you. Like Jesus, when He prayed in the Garden of Olives, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42), all we have to do is be willing. 

Be willing to endure through the wilderness and He will honor you. 

Be willing to walk through your path of testing and you will pass. The Lord will see you through.

There are many tests that are going on right now. Relationally, financially, and spiritually. However, the Lord is growing your character so that you will mature into handling the greater glory properly. Do not be afraid of the temptations in the wilderness, but journey on with the Lord. He will see you through. You have passed the test.

A Distinguished Spirit

"But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it." (Numbers 14:24 ESV)

Caleb and Joshua were the only two spies that entered into the Promised Land. The other ten spies, along with that whole generation of unbelievers and doubters, had died in the wilderness. Joshua and Caleb were of a different Spirit. I believe that "Spirit" was the Holy Spirit! You are of a different Spirit and you will be distinguished in Jesus' name. The Lord is distinguishing His Church with the Spirit of holiness. The Lord is distinguishing His Church with a fire that cannot be extinguished. The Holy Spirit will cause you to pass through, and to pass the test because of your heart attitude toward Him. (Photo via Pixabay)

Do not allow the wilderness to jade you. Do not allow the enemy to destroy you. May you walk forward in truth, righteousness and integrity. Though the enemy tried to destroy you and assassinate your character, you shall be confirmed and you shall pass the test. Your greatest days are ahead of you! Great ready for generational breakthroughs and for national change, in Jesus' name. I declare over you: You have passed the test. THE TEST IS OVER. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Ben Lim: "Rosh Hashanah 5779: Prepare for the More! 7 Prophetic Decrees"

The Elijah List  Sep 5, 2018

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

We are on the cusp of the Jewish new year of Rosh Hashanah starting very soon...this month actually...and many prophetic words and insights are pouring in.

This is an excellent article about this season from Ben Lim of Los Angeles, in which he shares key insights and some powerful decrees we can pray over ourselves to prepare for what the Lord is doing.

Ben shares here:

On God's calendar, there are specific times where certain things are appointed. For example in Acts 3:21, it says that there are "...times of the restoration of all things." It's always a time for restoration, but there are specific times when a certain grace is made even more available to receive that blessing!

Now read on to find about how you can prepare for the more God is bringing our way this year! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Rosh Hashanah 5779: Prepare for the More! 7 Prophetic Decrees"

Ben Lim, Los Angeles, CA

Appointed Times of Manifestation

There's something supernatural about times and seasons. These are portals on Earth's timeline that are made available for the more. It's important to be aware of the times that we are living in. I believe the Lord is aligning the Church to be so in-tune with His timing that we will not miss a beat of His heart. I believe some will be so accurate and so on-point that they won't miss a word, but will hit the bullseye on the target. Truly, being born of the Spirit means that we can discern the correct times of the hour.

On God's calendar, there are specific times where certain things are appointed. For example in Acts 3:21, it says that there are "...times of the restoration of all things." It's always a time for restoration, but there are specific times when a certain grace is made even more available to receive that blessing!

We can see through the timeline of history that the Church, over the last few decades, has received certain graces served in different generations. For example, the 70s experienced the grace of faith, healing, and evangelism. In the 80s the Church experienced the grace for teaching. In the 90s it was the grace for church-growth. In the early 2000s, we saw the grace for signs and wonders. Now, in the 2010s, we are and will experience the grace for prophetic evangelism and for glory.

"The enemy is about to pay you back for all that has happened to you. Whatever warfare or destruction you have gone through, you will be receiving double for your trouble!"

There are certain graces that the Lord has been preparing to release but He's been wisely building up His people, generation by generation, and statute by statute. The Lord is a wise builder and He has been building you up for such a time as this.

And now the Lord is about to release something new in this Rosh Hashanah season. I believe there are great blessings and revelations given, as we pay attention to the appointed feasts of God, as set apart and ordained by the Lord.

Opportune Times

"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15-16)

That word redeem in the Greek is: "exagorazo" which means to "buy up" the time or to "ransom" the time. Essentially, make the most of the time and fully take advantage of what is at hand, recognizing the prospect of the future gain. The Lord wants us to pay careful and close attention to what He is doing and to what is happening on the earth. The moans and the groans of the earth have certainly been heightening and intensifying.

The Signs of the Times

I am not a "doom and gloom" preacher and I do believe I have a great and healthy end-times eschatology, but there are certain things going on in the earth today that were not occurring just a few years ago. We are living in such tremendous times of great opportunity, yet great opposition. We are living in times of such great wealth of knowledge, yet a lack of wisdom; with such quick connections, yet lacking a depth of truth. We are in times of great acceleration and destruction for some.

Rosh Hashanah – 5779

Rosh Hashanah literally means "Head of the Year," or the beginning of the year. It is the Hebraic new year. It is coming soon upon us and on the timeline of the Gregorian calendar, it is September 9-11th, 2018, which is coming up very soon! (Photo via Flickr)

As appointed by God, there are time portals... portals of glory which are opened up for a certain amount of time during specific times of the year. This is a time where debts are canceled and settled and assets are restored. This is a time where you can reset and restart once again. The economy of Israel is refreshed and the agriculture of the land is relaunched once again.

Realignment

There is a realignment taking place with the purposes of God. Unusual times demand unusual responses. Unusual times are not for the ordinary, but are for those who take heed to step up into the extraordinary. There are measures that are made available for us, but to those who have an ear to hear, they will step up into the more because of the shift of this realignment.

New seasons will always bring realignment whether you like it or not. So I encourage you to get ready and be prepared for it because you do not want to miss out on all that the Lord has for you! Prepare yourself and get ready because there is a lot of glory that is about to be released on the earth!

Restoration

There is restoration in the name of Jesus. There is restoration in the Blood of Jesus. Many people have been going through attacks, trials, and tribulations. The enemy has been trying to scatter your flock and divide your company. But the Lord is about to come through with massive restoration and recompense! Recompense belongs to the Lord!

Restitution

The word "restitution" represents even more than just restoration. Restoration is receiving the exact, same amount of what was lost. Restitution is divine payback and then some! Restitution is the recompense and payback for what was done to you on top of the restoration of what was lost!

The enemy is about to pay you back for all that has happened to you. Whatever warfare or destruction you have gone through, you will be receiving double for your trouble! In fact, it will be much more than that. The Bible says seven times for what has come upon your camp!

"Truly, being born of the Spirit means that we can discern the correct times of the hour."

"If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double." (Exodus 22:7)

"Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house." (Proverbs 6:31)

Preparing for the More!

Because the Lord is wanting to pour out even more, we must cleanse ourselves and get ready in a spirit of humility and repentance. It's time to get clean and to make things right before the new is released. We do this by repenting to one another, forgiving one another, asking for forgiveness from others, and by clearing the air with your brothers and sisters. This is an essential key to receiving the more of God. We must make room for the more by doing justice within our own selves. Do what's right and the Lord will bless you!

Seven Rosh Hashanah Decrees

As we are nearing Rosh Hashanah, I want you to release these prophetic decrees over your life!

1) I decree that I am the head and not the tail! The Lord, my God, is bringing me up and is turning things around in my life. I will be ahead of the rest and I will be coming up in Jesus' name.

2) I decree and declare that I am about to taste and see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! I am about to taste of the sweetness of the Lord. He is turning all of my bitter into sweet. I will fully experience the promises of His Word!

3) I decree a restoration of all that was lost and stolen from me and my family. Whatever the thief tried to take from my finances, my health, my ministry, and my business, I take it back now and I receive my restoration today in Jesus' name. (Photo via Wikimedia)

4) I decree a spirit of restitution to take over in Jesus' name! The enemy will pay back seven times over and even more. I decree and declare that I am ready to receive the restitution and the honor that is for the shame and for the arbitration.

5) I decree a renewing and a renewal of all things. I am coming into the new. The Lord is making me new for I am a new creation. I am coming into a new shift and alignment in the Spirit. "I am making all things new," says the Lord! (See Rev. 21:5.)

6) I decree that I am entering into the best year of my life yet. This is going to be my year. I am going to have the best times of my life and the most outlandish encounters and experiences with the Holy Spirit. 5779 is my year, in Jesus' name!

7) I decree that I am entering into the greatest breakthrough of all. I am the shofar of the Lord. I am the trumpet of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is about to release a blast of breakthrough into my spirit and out of me in Jesus' name! I will shout and praise aloud of the works of the Lord!

L'Shana Tova and get ready for the new year and the new glory! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Time to Accelerate! You Will Run With the Horses"

Ben Lim, Los Angeles, CA

Running Out From the Dumps!

There is a time for everything under the sun. There is a time to laugh and there is a time to cry. There is a time to sit and there is a time to run!

I believe that the Lord is anointing the Church to run, run, run! It is not time to sit back and rummage around. But rather, it is time for the Bride of Christ to run, fast forward, and to not look back!

Elijah was a man who was just like us. The Bible says that after his greatest victory, he fell deep into the face of depression. Depression had swallowed him up and the spirit of death was knocking at his door (1 Kings 19:4).

"The Holy Spirit is strengthening you with fresh revelation and you will now move forth in the spirit of power and might!"

Many have fallen into depression and sadness. Many have fallen into a spirit of discouragement. The Lord began showing me that many in the Church were experiencing sadness because of unfulfilled words and unfinished projects. But this spirit of discouragement is now going to flee far from you in Jesus' name!

Tiredness and Depression

This spirit of discouragement is delaying the people of God from running with full force. These heavy baggages are causing people to run at a speed level that they were never destined for. You are meant to run freely in the power of His might! You were made to run swiftly in the power of God and run freely from all of the baggages of your pasts and from all of the entanglements of the world.

The enemy is trying to distract you so that you would deplete your time and energy and all of your resources. Have you been discouraged?

Elijah was deep down in the dumps, but the Lord had met him in a supernatural way (1 Kings 19:14). The same whisper of God's wind and Word that empowered Elijah to run is going to pick you up and cause you to run! The Lord is about to meet you in a supernatural way. The Lord is about to cause you to run.

Pace Yourself

The Bible says that we should all run in a race as if only one will win the prize (1 Corinthians 9:24). We are all competing in this life-long marathon of eternal Olympics. And truly, life is not a sprint but it is a marathon.

Life is not about how quickly you start, but about how long and well you last. Even for myself as a Millennial, I have witnessed so many people, both old and young from all schools and streams of life, get on fire for the Lord but quickly die out in their passions and in their faith. Some even backslide into renouncing Christ and become Atheistic or turn to some form of New Age Universalism.

I am not impressed by a person's zeal and passion. I am impressed by how they carry themselves to fully finish their assignment. Too many start well, but they end up veering off track. Even the Apostle Paul rebuked the Galatians and asked, "...Who has bewitched you?" (Galatians 3:1). The Lord is interested in whether or not we finish strong with one another for the long run.

Your Integrity is Your Life-Long Legacy

The Evangelist Billy Graham passed onto glory with over 55 years of ministry with no major scandal brought up against him. No, not one! He was clean and had integrity in all of his doings. As much of an honorable example this man of God is, this should actually be the norm, not the rarity. We all should be walking in that type and level of integrity for the marathon of our lives. We should all be growing from glory to glory, from righteousness to righteousness, and from holiness to holiness. (Photo via Unsplash)

The Lord wants us to overcome all obstacles so that we will be a great witness for His name. The Lord wants us to be credible and demonstrate integrity in every way, so that we will be trusted voices to this generation and to those to come. We must not compromise our birthrights for mere bowls of soups.

The Lord wants us to be a holy people with proven character. We must be a people who can be trusted with much more than we have now. And if we are not capable of being faithful with the little now, then how can we be faithful with the greater things to come? Kingdoms are at hand; nations are at hand. There is so much of God's Kingdom that is drawing nearer and nearer.

We haven't even come close to seeing the greater things that Jesus has for us as He spoke of in John 14:12. We haven't even come close yet! We haven't even scratched the surface. There is a depth that is calling out to the children of God. Deep cries out unto deep (Psalm 42:7).

The Spirit of Endurance

"But the one who endures to the end will be saved." (Matthew 24:13 ESV)

The whole prophetic book of Revelation is repeated with the word and phrase, "Endurance." You can see this in Revelation 2:3 NKJV, "And you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary."

The Kingdom of God is about endurance. I believe the spirit of endurance is about to mark the Church in an immeasurable way. Endurance is what the foundational apostles of Christ Jesus had. Endurance was the sure sign of being an apostle (2 Corinthians 12:12). Endurance is what caused the Church fathers to prevail over the persecutions of Rome and of the religious systems of the Jews.

Endurance is what caused Jesus to carry the Cross up to the top of Mount Golgotha. And endurance is what will keep you strong and ready even to the finishing of the race and to the end of the battle.

"I believe that the Lord is anointing the Church to run, run, run! It is not time to sit back and rummage around. But rather, it is time for the Bride of Christ to run fast forward and to not look back! "

If you're feeling tired and discouraged now, then get ready beloved, because this is just a small taste of what is to come! We must advance with full force. We must advance with the resurrection power of Christ Jesus.

This harvest is going to be so great, that we need each and every one of us to be ready and able. Get renewed and get refreshed, for the Lord is about to accelerate you into the best season of your life!

Running with the Horses

"If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" (Jeremiah 12:5 NIV)

Have you been stumbling? Have you been stumbling with the footmen? Well the Lord is wanting to upgrade you to the horses. It's time for you to compete with the horses! The Lord is moving you up from running with the footmen to now racing with the horses.

God is about to bring you up to the next level of things. He's bringing you to a whole new ball game. He is bringing you to a new tier. You will be moved from running with the men to running with the horses. You will move from the natural to the supernatural. You will go from the first heavens to the third. You are being promoted.

Discouragement is fleeing from you. Sadness is leaving you. The disappointments and the depressing lies of the devil are being extinguished. The Holy Spirit is strengthening you with fresh revelation and you will now move forth in the spirit of power and might! It's time for you to ride on with the Rider on the white horse. Ride on rider, ride on!

To Run with the Spirit of Endurance, We Must:

1) Soak - Take time to pray and soak in the presence of the Lord. This is an essential key for the sons of God. We must pray in the Holy Spirit. Refresh your spirit and your soul in the presence of God. (Photo via Unsplash)

2) Sabbath - Take time and days, even seasons, to have days off and to go on a sabbatical trip with the Lord. Refresh your spirit and your soul by taking a break from what you call work and ministry.

3) Fellowship - There must be mutual koinonia with people who you can receive from. The Kingdom is not all about giving, but it is also about receiving. So get under anointings, atmospheres, teachers, and people who you can receive fresh impartation from.

As you do these things on a regular basis, you will surely run fast and far with the horses! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Ben Lim: "The Master's Call: Heed His Voice and Be Restored!"

THE ELIJAH LIST, Sep 3, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

The Master is "calling" us in many ways and that includes the great harvest at hand. I sure enjoyed reading this article by Ben Lim, who is a Millennial Pastor from the Los Angeles area. He sure has wisdom beyond his years!

This now prophetic word will really strengthen many of you dealing with brokenness even now:

The Lord is repairing what was broken. The Lord is restoring your relationships. The Lord is healing the wounded areas of broken trust and dishonor and He is restoring the areas of discord and division. The Lord is bringing the Body back together. Where the enemy tried to divide you and divide the Body, there is an intense restoration that is coming. The Lord is mending the nets! He is the repairer of the breach and the restorer of the broken.

Now that's a word! Be encouraged in the restoration at hand! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"The Master's Call: Heed His Voice and Be Restored!"

Ben Lim, Los Angeles, CA

I am sensing an unusual anointing of breakthrough and harvest. What we must do is acknowledge the Master, which means acknowledge and heed His voice and His call. It is intimacy with Him that will bring the harvest, not our hard works and ministerial efforts. We can work all day and night but still be working and toiling in vain.

So much of our lives are filled with vanity! The Lord is wanting to turn around your life and all of your situations, even in one night and one moment. All of life's striving, stresses, and worries will cease from one simple word from our Master. When He speaks, we must listen. When He speaks, we must obey. He is the Master and we are His servants. He is the Potter and we are the clay. We must be conduits of obedience, to bring forth His glory here on the earth. 

"It's time for the friends of God to come together, despite the differences and putting the pasts behind."

You may have been working hard all night. You may have been crying out to the Lord! You may be feeling weary, tired and depleted, but the Word of the Lord will strengthen you and create unusual circumstances and supernatural results! The Holy Spirit is about to strengthen you and build you up!

"When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.'
Simon answered, 'Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.' When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink." (Luke 5:4-7 NIV)

The Partners Are Coming

The Bible says that they caught such a large number of fish, that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them (Luke 5:6-7). When the harvest breaks out, who gets what will be the least of our concerns. The back-biting, the bitterness, the division, and the past histories will all be vanished. When we truly see the glory of the Lord manifest and multiply in our midst, all such childish things will fade away. The reason why this division, back-biting, gossip, slander, and all such things of the flesh exist is because we've become distracted, disillusioned, or discouraged by the lack of harvest and by the tiredness of the night.

Don't let the night defeat you. Don't let the night destroy you. Don't let the night come in between you and the things that matter most. Don't let the unknown, the mystery, and the areas of darkness come in between you and the move of God. The night is fading! (Photo via Unsplash)

Here in the Waiting

Sometimes the periods of waiting can make us a captive of assumptions, wounding and confusion. These periods of waiting many times are tests that many cannot take. This nighttime period literally drives people crazy, causing them to lose their minds and sanity. This nighttime of darkness tests them with feelings of loneliness and questioning, which many times leave a person wounded and more of a mess than a message of hope. 

However, the dark night of your soul shall soon pass and the morning light shall dawn! This nighttime season will pass and the new mercies of God will arise! If you've been waiting in the dark, get ready to start flying anew with wings like eagles. If you've been feeling stuck in chaos, then get ready for God to speak forth light, vision and order. If you've been feeling divided and separated from the Lord and His people, then get ready for a move of unity to reunite you.

Don't let offense and the root of bitterness harbor within you. God will finish what He has started. Don't let the waiting cause you to stumble and become angry and bitter towards God. Keep a healthy and holy perspective. Keep in prayer and let the Lord transform your mind and your thoughts.

Partakers of the Harvest

Jesus is looking for friends. God is looking for servants who will steward His amazing grace. The Lord is looking for partners who will partake in these great, grand and glorious End Times events. Who will partake of this? Who will partake of His harvest? There will be such a large number of fish that the nets will break until and unless we call out for help! The NLT version says, "A shout for help brought their partners ..." (Luke 5:7)

"When He speaks, we must obey. He is the Master and we are His servants. He is the Potter and we are the clay."

Shout out for help! Help will come if we call for it! It's time for the partners to come! Don't let the pride and anger of the night leave you wounded! Call your partners! Call the partners! There must be a partnership to gain the whole harvest. There must be a partnership, a linking-of-arms, and a uniting in the spirit for all of the resources to be obtained. We cannot do it alone! Otherwise, our division, pride, and malice might cause us to miss out on His fullness! Has your pride caused you to miss out on the fullness? Has your offense caused you to choose one side of God and reject the other? Have you been rejecting His prophets? Have you been rejecting the members of His Body?

It's time to signal our partners again! It's time for the friends of God to come together, despite our differences, and putting the past behind. It's time for a holy recompense. Expect a holy restoration of relationships. Expect a restoration of partnerships! Expect new and more partnerships!

Restoring Breaches and Relationships

As I was in prayer on a recent morning, the Lord caught me up in a vision. The Lord began showing me nets that were broken. The nets were broken in many places. However, the Lord began mending the nets and fixing the knots and ropes of the net. The Lord was mending the nets and strengthening the ties and the bonds and covenants in the spirit.

Where the nets have been broken, the Lord is mending. The Lord is repairing what was broken. The Lord is restoring your relationships. The Lord is healing the wounded areas of broken trust and dishonor and He is restoring the areas of discord and division. The Lord is bringing the Body back together. Where the enemy tried to divide you and divide the Body, there is an intense restoration that is coming. The Lord is mending the nets! He is the repairer of the breach and the restorer of the broken.

Ask yourself, has there been a relationship that's been broken? Has there been a tear, a wear, a breaking in the spirit with another? Has the spirit of offense wounded you and kept you away from the wholeness of God?

Don't let your pride get in the way. Heed the voice of the Master and be healed in your soul. Don't let the night dissuade you away from your true purpose in the Lord. Let the Master set you free! As Jesus said, "Put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch."

It's time for you to go deep once again. It's time for you to put yourself out, to be brave, courageous and vulnerable, and to let down your nets! Let down your guards! Let down your pride! Let down your crowns! Lay it all down. It takes courage to gain the harvest. It takes hope to gain the harvest. Be encouraged! The harvest is ripe and ready. All you must do, is heed the voice of the Master! What is He telling you to do today, right here and right now? (Photo via Unsplash)

"Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.'
If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

"If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.

"The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

"Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In" (Isaiah 58:9-12 NKJV). (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
