"5779: A Marker Year - God's Goodness will be Revealed"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

As I am talking to others in the Body of Christ, it is so encouraging to hear just how many are "birthing" new promises in this hour. Some are saying God is calling them to start new ministries, businesses, or even a new calling all together.

We are truly in times of seeing God's goodness revealed as Kathi Pelton shares about this in her latest article:

God's hidden goodness will be revealed to those who seek Him. Within the limitless boundaries of His goodness there is wisdom and understanding. Within the revelation of His goodness there is healing and strength. Within the experience of His goodness there is refreshing and restoration. Within the womb of His goodness there is great hope and new life.

Now there's also other very encouraging revelation from Kathi here including: Plundering the spoils from the enemy's camp, which I think you'll be really excited about! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"5779: A Marker Year - God's Goodness will be Revealed"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

A Womb Pregnant with God's Secrets and Goodness

The Lord spoke to me that this Jewish New Year (5779), which began September 9th at sundown, is a "chamber room" or "womb." I saw these chambers like a womb, where what has been conceived in the heart of God is growing within His Bride's body. Within this "chamber" or "womb" His secrets and goodness will be revealed to those who yielded to the intimacy and oneness that He invited His Bride into throughout the previous year.

He shares His secrets with those who walk in the fear of the Lord and who have been found trustworthy through intimacy.

God's hidden goodness will be revealed to those who seek Him. Within the limitless boundaries of His goodness there is wisdom and understanding. Within the revelation of His goodness there is healing and strength. Within the experience of His goodness there is refreshing and restoration. Within the womb of His goodness there is great hope and new life.

"Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living." (Psalm 27:13)

A Year of Plundering the Spoils from the Enemy's Camp

In August the Lord highlighted Isaiah 8 to me. I read of a scroll where the Hebrew words "Maher-shalal-hash-baz" were written upon it meaning, "making speed to the spoil" or "he hastens to the prey." I believe that this will be a year where we will see the Lord plunder the enemy's camp and He will give the spoils to those who will steward the resources with purity and righteousness. They will not touch what the Lord says, "Do not touch," but they will receive the plunder that the Lord takes for the righteous. His Bride will not walk in the fear of man but she will walk in the fear of the Lord, which is the womb of Psalm 91 (the place of abiding).

"The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, He is the one you are to fear, He is the one you are to dread." (Isaiah 8:13)

Coming in Like a Flood

Many plans and strategies of the enemy will be nullified and the Lord will come in like a flood to raise up His glorious standard against him. Jesus will partner with His Bride who is one with Him and carries His zeal to see His Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven. His fierce and jealous love will judge that which is unholy in order to plunder what has been captured and held captive by demonic forces.

"Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us." (Isaiah 8:10)
The oneness and unity has conceived a generation that will bring forth what all creation has been groaning for.
"Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who His children really are." (Romans 8:18-19)

The "Marker Year"

I believe that this is a "marker year" where we will see a generation birthed that walks in the goodness of God and the fear of the Lord; fully surrendered to the Captain of the Lord of Hosts. This generation will be alert and awake to hear and respond when the Lord calls to them. They will be humble, teachable, and submitted to His voice. They will understand intimacy which will cause them to walk in authority. They will be intimately acquainted with His goodness and know the sound of His voice that thunders like the shofar. They were conceived in intimacy and they are growing in the womb of surrender. Like Mary, they are carried by the ones who have said, "Let it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).

A Revealing of What We have Conceived in the Spirit

Lastly, I saw a vision of a married couple receiving a sonogram for a baby that they had conceived. Together they saw the baby's features and the gender was revealed. I believe this year will be a year that we will be shown what we have conceived together with our Bridegroom and within our spiritual wombs.

A Healing of Identity

It is interesting to me that there is such a battle over "gender" and identity in the world today and at the same time, most couples celebrate pregnancies through "gender reveal parties." It's quite a contrast. God is about to touch this issue in ways that only He can. He will heal identity issues in many and break the confusion that has sent so many lives into upheaval. There will be a generation that restores true identity and carries a revelation of the goodness of our God to the lost.

We welcome this new year and cross fully over the threshold today into the place where His secrets are shared, His goodness is experienced, and true identity is revealed. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Understanding the Season of Acceleration and Transformation" Kathi Pelton - The Elijah List

July 9, 2018

"Understanding the Season of Acceleration and Transformation"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

We're posting a couple words today about God's acceleration that is upon us. We truly are going to see things move at a pace we are not used to...things that took years will take much less time.

As I read through some of these acceleration words coming in, I thought of these verses from Amos 9: "Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills."

Yes, things are going to be happening at a record rate in God's Kingdom.

Read about this and more in Kathi Pelton's latest article...and how we can position and prepare ourselves in this season of acceleration. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Understanding the Season of Acceleration and Transformation"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

We truly do seem to be in a time of acceleration; change is happening everywhere we look! Nations are changing, governments are changing, the spiritual landscape is changing, and hearts are changing. Prayers that we prayed in faith for decades are suddenly coming to pass, and open doors are before many. It is like a "domino effect" is occurring...the hand of God pushed the first one over and now walls are falling down like dominoes.

Understanding God's Pace

In this time of acceleration it is vitally important that His people do not get into a "driven" or "high speed" mode that will cause them to burn out or run ahead of proper timing. God is the One who is accelerating things, not man!

We are to make sure that we are taking time to be in the secret place, to linger in His presence and to sit with Him until He says, "Go." We are to ride the wave of change that is transforming and accelerating us from a posture of peace, stillness, and intimacy.

There is a deep caution in my spirit to be sure that we are not trying to force greater acceleration by our might or our will. This is—and will continue to be—a move of God, not a move of man. It has begun first with personal transformation and will then transform the nations. I hear the familiar verse from Zechariah 4:6 that says,
"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty."

The Yielded Ones

For nearly a year, I have been carrying in my spirit the word "yield". Daily I have been intentionally yielding to the move and work of His Spirit within me and all around me. What has been happening for me personally, and what is happening all around us is not by might but BY HIS SPIRIT! Most great moves of God began with a swell or acceleration that came by the Spirit, but often the "of man" moved in and not only caused men to fall but also halted the pure move of His Spirit.

What God is doing and what He is about to do in the near future will be by His Spirit. We already are seeing the acceleration beginning, and it is now that we must position our hearts and our wills to yield fully to His Spirit. We must intentionally remain "in Him" by not allowing a move that is accelerating things around us to cause us to run ahead or become driven by our own strength. This move of God will be one that is propelled by the yielded ones who have allowed transformation to occur.

What God is bringing through the partnership with His yielded ones is pure and will draw His people into a peace that allows them to ride His wave without striving or any frantic, man-made push. It will not come from the strength of men but by His Spirit.

So let's yield to His Spirit in this time of acceleration! His Spirit has brought forth this acceleration and will continue to bring further acceleration. We must learn to rest in Him and allow Him to carry us where He is going and into what He is doing. Yield to His full preparation that is transforming His Church; yield to the swell of His Spirit, yield to His healing, His cleansing, and His love. This is a time of freedom, not of frantic striving! Stay in His Spirit.

Accelerated Into Transformation

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image." (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)

We are being invited into accelerated transformation so that we will reflect the glory of the Lord as we are changed into His glorious image. This move of God will first and foremost be marked by transformation! It is the transformation we read about in the verse above. This verse will be a marker for what God is doing.

We are currently experiencing a move of the Spirit individually and as a corporate family that is transforming us to reflect His image. The world is longing for something or someone to identify with; they are looking for an "image" to reflect, but so many have merely found confusion and bowed before the graven images of the world's systems. But as we, His Church, yield to the accelerated transformation of what His Spirit is doing, suddenly the world will see Him in us! We will reflect His glorious image for people to see. This will release an accelerated transformation into all the world...not by might but by His Spirit. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"I Will Go Before You! God is Preparing His People for Kingly Mantles!" - Kathi Pelton The Elijah List

June 18, 2018

"I Will Go Before You! God is Preparing His People for Kingly Mantles!"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

Many in the Body of Christ are being called to "new things" this year and beyond. God is awakening us to new ideas, new ministries, new ventures and more!

As I read through Kathi Pelton's latest article, I thought of the Scripture: "The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" (Deuteronomy 31:8).

Some of you are going to do mighty, mighty things for God and be called to step into positions that only He could make a way for.

Just read this by Kathi Pelton:

Many are being asked to step into positions that have caused them to become keenly aware of their human weakness. Many are being asked to take up mantles that feel too weighty for any man to carry by himself. The Lord wants you to know that He has gone before you and the mantle that He has placed, or will soon place, upon your shoulders is a light burden, and yet this mantle will cause you to have a heavy impact on all that you do as you follow His steps and instructions and heed the counsel of His wisdom.

If God called you to it, He will make the way AND go before you!

*************************************

"I Will Go Before You! God is Preparing His People for Kingly Mantles!"
Kathi Pelton, Portland, OR

God's Strength Will Manifest For You!

I heard the Spirit speak to me saying, "Tell My people that I am going before them. Do not be afraid!"

Whatever the Lord has called you to do and wherever He has called you to go, He has already gone ahead of you to establish His Word and His will. Even if you have the call of a spiritual pioneer who is forging new paths and opening new territories, He has already gone ahead of you to make the way.

The enemy would have you think that the burden is on your shoulders, but the Lord says to remind you that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. You must only trust and obey. It is in your weakness that He will manifest His strength and establish His will. Like Paul, you can boast in your weakness, knowing that Christ will be made known, despite the limitations of human strength and wisdom.

God Prepares You for Great Positions

The Spirit is asking you to go forth in faith. He has also spoken to me that this is a time to pray for wisdom. I continue to hear the prayer of Solomon when he was placed in the position of king:

"Now, O Lord my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn't know his way around. And here I am in the midst of Your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted! Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern Your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of Yours?" (1 Kings 3:7-9)

Solomon was aware of being "like a child who doesn't know his way around," and yet he was chosen by God to lead a great nation and people. In his weakness he called upon the Lord for the wisdom and discernment to lead and to know right from wrong. It wasn't his great strength or understanding that qualified him, but rather it was his dependence upon God to go before him and to stand with him.

The Lord was so pleased with Solomon's request that He gave him far more than wisdom:
"The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. So God replied, 'Because you have asked for wisdom in governing My people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies—I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life! And if you follow Me and obey My decrees and My commands as your father, David, did, I will give you a long life.'" (1 Kings 3:10-14)

Many are being asked to step into positions that have caused them to become keenly aware of their human weakness. Many are being asked to take up mantles that feel too weighty for any man to carry by himself. The Lord wants you to know that He has gone before you and the mantle that He has placed, or will soon place, upon your shoulders is a light burden, and yet this mantle will cause you to have a heavy impact on all that you do as you follow His steps and instructions and heed the counsel of His wisdom.

A Kingly Mantle

Mantles of kingly authority are being laid upon many sons and daughters in this hour. As people receive them, families will be restored, regions will be transformed, and nations will be reformed. Do not focus on your natural disqualifications, because they are the very things that qualify you. It is because of your weakness that His strength has room to be made manifest. It is because you are willing to lay down your crown that He will now exalt you to a place of greater authority which will usher in the reformation needed in the spheres where He has placed you.

He Has Gone Ahead of You to Make a Way

The Lord has gone before you! He is establishing the victory that accomplishes His Word and His will, even before you arrive in the moments that are ahead. His wisdom is now coming to you. His mantle of authority is laid upon your shoulders, enabling you to call forth the fruit of all the seeds that you have planted in the land and spheres that He has placed you in.

This is a time to receive the positions and calling that He has chosen to place you in; a time to position yourself in the fear of the Lord which is the beginning (foundation) of wisdom.

"But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world." (1 John 4:4) (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Kathi Pelton: "A Summer of Miracles" Kathi Pelton May 22, 2017 - THE ELIJAH LIST

May 22, 2017 "A Summer of Miracles" by Kathi Pelton, Eugene, OR From the Desk of Steve Shultz: Well...I am DEFINITELY looking forward to this Summer of Miracles that Kathi Pelton from Eugene writes about. She mentions: I continually see the months of May through August as a swell in the spirit that births a time in history where great miracles are seen throughout the Earth. This "swell" will be like the miracle of birthing new life and will be marked by unprecedented miracles that occur in impossible circumstance. Birthing NEW life? Miracles? Sign me up!

Steve Shultz, Founder and Publisher The Elijah List & Breaking Christian News http://www.elijahlist.com ************************************* "A Summer of Miracles"by Kathi Pelton, Eugene, OR For a few weeks now I keep hearing the words, "This summer will be remembered as a 'Summer of Miracles.'" I continually see the months of May through August as a swell in the spirit that births a time in history where great miracles are seen throughout the Earth. This "swell" will be like the miracle of birthing new life and will be marked by unprecedented miracles that occur in impossible circumstance. This summer's miracles will establish a "new norm" (normal) in the Church where miracles are no longer rare but frequent and widespread. Miracles will flow through children's prayers, the prayers of unknown Saints and through those that God has raised up to stand before the masses. Nations Will Shift and Be Brought Forth These miracles will come upon nations that have been thought of as a "lost cause". Get ready to see a move of God come upon the darkest places. We will see that the Saints in those nations who have been hidden and held captive will suddenly be like when Joseph was set free. Their prayers, their faithfulness in dark captivity and their worship will suddenly break through the darkness and light will come causing the darkness to be broken. Isaiah 66:8 will be seen. "Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children." The faithful remnant in nations that have been known to persecute Christians will emerge suddenly from captivity into freedom. They will worship freely and with great joy. They will be anointed to set the captives free. This is not only for nations that have been under an oppressive government but it is for nations that have been considered "free" and yet darkness has gained a foothold. Canada will experience a "tsunami" that will be like the water breaking before a birthing. It will shift the spiritual landscape and break down dividing walls. As they have stood to see other nations birthed, now they will see the birthing of God's purposes on their own soil. The spiritual ice will melt in the Great North. The light of the Son will come upon the Inuits, the French, the English and the First People of the land and unity will emerge – one family formed to establish God's purposes. God's chosen remnant in Canada will also reach across the border, into the womb of the United States, and be a midwife for the birthing of what the Lord has planted in North America as a continent. The walls of division between the two nations will crumble. Watch the nations that the enemy has attacked with acts of terrorism because the enemy has marked them for a great move of God. Nations such as France, England, Germany, the US, Sweden, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and Syria will experience a great move of God. They have all been chosen by God to strike terror in the enemy's camp. What the enemy meant for harm God will turn for the profit and good of these nations. These will be like the days of Joseph and the mercy of God will triumph over judgement. "But Joseph replied, 'Don't be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. No, don't be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.' So he reassured them by speaking kindly to them." Genesis 50:19-21 The Fear of the Lord is Key Many in the Body of Christ have suffered greatly over the past few years. The pressures have been great but these pressures have produced a refiner's fire that has purified hearts, motives, beliefs and character. A shift has taken place that has caused God's people to move from the fear of man into the fear of the Lord. This shift is the key to this move of God that is swelling even now. The water will break to bring forth the birthing of seeing the sovereignty of God displayed throughout the nations. The strength of man has not brought this forth but rather the humbling of man so that in great human weakness (humility) the strength of God will be made manifest. "So He said to me, 'This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty." Zechariah 4:6 I hear the words, "Grace, grace..." being shouted over the Church, "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.'" 2 Corinthians 12:9 Conclusion The birthing of God's purposes and promises begin with a breaking of the water. I see the dates May 24 - August 24 as a time for this Summer of Miracles and the swell of this water washing over people and nations. It is like a great bowl or basin of water is about to tip and pour down. Deep has called out to deep and it has filled this heavenly basin (bowl). "Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me." Psalm 42:7 This pouring out of water will not only cause a great move of God but it will also serve as a washing of His current-day disciples' feet. "So He got up from the table, took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His waist, and poured water into a basin. Then He began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel He had around Him." John 13:4-5 Watch for and expect a Summer of Miracles to come upon the Church!

Prophecy: God Is About to Unleash a 'Summer of Miracles'

Kathi Pelton: "Divine Strategies for Breakthrough - Trust God and the Seeds He Plants!" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Kathi Pelton: "Divine Strategies for Breakthrough - Trust God and the Seeds He Plants!"

THE ELIJAH LIST Feb 28, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

There are times that we struggle with our circumstances and desires that have not happened yet...in our timing. It can be frustrating in the process of waiting for your breakthrough.

This word by Kathi Pelton will really help you to get a higher perspective as she shares:

God is not late nor is He silent. When our primary focus is on our natural need, even when they are good and necessary, then our discernment is tainted by what our natural eyes see and minds understand. This focus can rob us of the pure seed planted in our hearts by the Spirit.

We must trust God with the seeds that He plants in us. His words over us are wrapped in His faithful promises and never-ending love. They require the softness of our heart to grow deep roots and break through the ground of faith so that they will manifest in the earthly realm. We cannot demand how God grows the seed or when it will move from the soil of faith to the visible realm. We must allow the roots to go deep so that when trouble comes, our seed will not be plucked up while still in its tender beginnings.

Now that's a good word! I pray this article by Kathi will help you to get a better understanding...as He truly is bringing His Divine Breakthrough into your life! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"Divine Strategies for Breakthrough - Trust God and the Seeds He Plants!"

Kathi Pelton, Eugene, OR

Every month I receive scores of letters from Believers who are distraught, despairing, depressed and disillusioned. Sometimes, this can become overwhelming and requires me to go up higher in order to get above the noise and the atmosphere of hopelessness to find truth and greater revelation of the goodness of God and His perspective.

His Dwelling Place

Recently one morning, as I allowed God's Spirit to usher me into His tabernacle, I began to experience the contrast between Heaven and earth. Heaven is a realm where joy and peace are fully present; hopelessness and despair do not exist there. In the Lord's dwelling place His people are washed in His love and renewed by His truth. Our hearts are softened to receive seeds of revelation. 

As I spent time being revived today, I felt Heaven's longing for God's people to dwell—tabernacle—with Him so that they would receive breakthrough from depression and disillusionment and instead experience joy and peace.

There is a spiritual breakthrough that ushers in natural breakthroughs that many need. Often, if we are merely provided natural breakthroughs, we miss what is most needed to truly steward and enjoy what God intends to manifest in our lives. He is jealous for our affections and for a relationship of mutual longing that draws us into intimacy. King Jesus desires His Bride and her affections!

Summoned to Come Before the King

Psalm 45 is a beautiful Messianic song about the King marrying a princess. After describing the magnificent King, we then read about the bride:

The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; her clothing is woven with gold.
She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; the virgin, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You. With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King's palace. (Psalm 45:13-15). (Photo via Pixabay)

We are being summoned to come to the place of His dwelling where our hearts are softened and we are made glorious by learning the ways of His Kingdom. We then share intimacy with Him and from that place our breakthrough comes, our requests are answered and our enemies are defeated by the glorious Mighty One who rides forth in victory (see Psalm 45:3-5; Revelation 19:11-16).

The Softened Heart Receives the Seed

The enemy seeks to harden our hearts through disappointments and perceived delays but the love of Christ restores and softens our hearts so that we will never doubt His love and intentions toward us. The enemy always seeks to divide us from the One who loves us the most, but God invites us into the deep affections of His love that unites us with Him, His Kingdom, His promises and truth. This unity is not circumstantial but secured by love. Our hearts are kept soft in the tender place of His affections and love.

Sometimes we are troubled about the words hardened hearts because we immediately assume it always refers to a person in rebellion. This can certainly be true; but it also refers to lack of understanding. The disciples of Jesus were often corrected for hardness of heart.

When God speaks a word to us they are like seeds planted in the soft soil of our hearts. We are often thrilled momentarily when God speaks a word or does marvelous works in us and through us, but when trouble comes, those "seeds" are easily plucked up if we allow our hearts to be dulled with the cares of this world.

As life's trials and troubles come, we must continually enter into the dwelling place (the secret place) with our King, where intimacy keeps our heart soft. We do not do this to get a natural result but rather to enter into the mutual affections with our God. The amazing thing is that as we show honor and reverence to God's words and activities in our lives, the soil of our hearts is kept soft and watered by His Word, and we will surely see natural results follow.

Discerning the Activities of God in Our Lives

It takes spiritual eyes and sensitivity to discern the movements of God in our everyday lives. Our focus must be turned from what isn't to what is. Sometimes His words come as a whisper and His movements like a gentle breeze moving through the branches of our lives, but as we seek first the King and His Kingdom we will discern His voice and His faithfulness through each day.

God is not late nor is He silent. When our primary focus is on our natural need, even when they are good and necessary, then our discernment is tainted by what our natural eyes see and minds understand. This focus can rob us of the pure seed planted in our hearts by the Spirit.

We must trust God with the seeds that He plants in us. His words over us are wrapped in His faithful promises and never-ending love. They require the softness of our heart to grow deep roots and break through the ground of faith so that they will manifest in the earthly realm. We cannot demand how God grows the seed or when it will move from the soil of faith to the visible realm. We must allow the roots to go deep so that when trouble comes, our seed will not be plucked up while still in its tender beginnings.

Do Not Worry

God knows your physical needs. We must trust Him with those details of our lives. He addresses this in His Word and God does not lie. Matthew 6 speaks so clearly His promise to care for our needs. Let these Words wash over you and free you from the burden that is weighing you down and shifting your focus from the spiritual vision to natural concerns:

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? (Photo via Pixabay)

"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matthew 6:25-34).

God is jealous over us, over the seeds He's planted in our hearts and over the focus of our affections. He is our breakthrough; when we allow our hearts to be fully turned toward Him the doubts, fears, worries and despair fall away and the seeds of promise grow and flourish. The enemy tries to steal from us while the seed is still in the form of faith. It is in the secret place of intimacy and absolute trust that the planting of the Lord is protected and grows.

God is summoning His people into the chambers of His affections...and from those chambers we will see breakthroughs first in the spirit and then in the natural. Joy will come! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"A Vision of a Line in the Sand" - Kathi Pelton

"A Vision of a Line in the Sand"

Kathi Pelton, Eugene, OR

The Elijah List

Last week I received a vision for a particular nation, and although I knew that it was specifically for that nation, I also felt it was a clear message for the whole Church.

What is the Vision I Had for the Church?

I came out of a deep sleep and heard, "He among you without sin cast the first stone."

Immediately I was taken to a scene that resembled the story in John chapter 8 of the woman caught in adultery. I saw four men with stones in their hands, and upon each stone a single word was written. The first stone had the word OFFENSE, the second stone had LAW, the third stone JUDGEMENT, and on the fourth stone was written SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.(Photo via Pixabay)

Again I heard the words, "He among you without sin cast the first stone."

When these words were spoken the atmosphere changed from a sense of accusation, anger, and judgment to one of humility and compassion. Unlike the story in John 8, where the men dropped the stones and walked away, these four men dropped their stones and went to embrace the one caught in sin. I could not see if this person was a man or a woman, but the four men surrounded and embraced this individual who – just moments before – they had felt justified in stoning.

As they encircled the one caught in sin, all of them were suddenly transformed into one person. It was a young boy whom I knew was like a young King David. Then the Lord handed this "young David" a new smooth stone, and upon that stone His name was written.

Jesus spoke as He handed him the stone saying, "While you were busy judging another, a giant has moved into the land who seeks to destroy My people. His name is Goliath. Now go in My name and slay this enemy."

A Line in the Sand

This vision was very profound and spoke to me of a mindset that has distracted some within the Church, allowing the Accuser of the Brethren to gain a foothold in their hearts. God is asking His people to put the stones of offense, law (letter of the law), judgment, and self-righteousness down. We have all sinned and fallen short of His glorious standards, but in the Lord's merciful grace He has embraced us, forgiven us, and restored us to Himself.

I believe God is saying that the enemy has created distractions through accusation that has caused divisions. These distractions have given the enemy time and space to move upon the land, seeking to change times and seasons similar to what we read of in the Book of Daniel:

"He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time" (Daniel 7:25 NKJV).

In God's great mercy He is calling to the Church, "He among you without sin cast the first stone." This is God's line in the sand. This is His call to repentance. 

He is calling His Church to a posture of humility. He is calling for us to drop our stones and restore those who have been caught in sin. This is a call to lay down offenses, to give grace, to walk in humility rather than judgment, and to recognize that there is one Judge and that there is no righteousness apart from the righteousness of Christ. In God's kindness, He is calling His Church to align with His heart as spoken in Romans 2:4: (Photo via Flickr)

"Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?"

Forgive As You Have Been Forgiven

One of the most sobering parables Jesus ever told was the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant found in Matthew 18:21-35. Peter asked Jesus how often he has to forgive his brother or sister who sins against him. Jesus replies, "Seventy times seven." In other words, without limit. Let's look at this parable again:

"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?'

"Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

"'Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

"'At this the servant fell on his knees before him. "Be patient with me," he begged, "and I will pay back everything." The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

"'But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. "Pay back what you owe me!" he demanded.

"'His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, "Be patient with me, and I will pay it back."

"'But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.(Photo via Pixabay)

"'Then the master called the servant in. "You wicked servant," he said, "I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?" In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

"'This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.'"

We are called to forgive from our hearts. We have been forgiven of so much; how can we clutch so ferociously to unforgiveness? We must forgive as we have been forgiven. We must drop our stones and move from law to grace. I am not promoting lawlessness, but we err when we fail to live in the grace freely extended to us by the only One who was able to fulfill all the righteous demands of God's holy law. He alone is able to create within us all the righteousness that God requires.

Make No Room for the Enemy

At the end of the vision I heard the Spirit say that the distraction of accusing our brothers and sisters has made room for the enemy in our land. The enemy enters through breaches in the wall. When we are divided it creates opportunity for the enemy to strike.

I saw a wonderful story on the news this past week about a couple who were walking hand in hand when the young man was struck in the head by lightening. The electricity was transferred through his body, through both their hands, then down her body and out her feet. The doctors that treated them said that they were alive because they "shared the strike." Had the young man taken the full force on his own it most likely would have killed him, but because they were joined, neither of them was seriously injured.

This is a beautiful picture of unity and our need for one another. When we stand in opposition to each other, we cannot withstand the strikes of the enemy; but when we join in intimacy and unity we overcome. We need one another!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up... Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.(Photo via Pixabay)

This is a truth not just for personal relationships, but also for the corporate Body. When we stand together there is protection and authority. The enemy knows this, which is why he works so hard at dividing relationships and severing bonds of love. He would rather we hold a stone that harms than hold a hand that heals. 

Our unity releases authority. This is why (in the vision) when the four men and the one being accused embraced they became ONE. They not only became one person, but they were now ready to face the giant. They were given the new stone with the Lord's name written upon it and sent out to strike the enemy in the head with this stone.

Be Encouraged

This word is not meant for condemnation but encouragement! God disciplines those whom He loves. When He speaks a word of correction it is proof that we are His sons and daughters. If you have been holding stones of accusation, then be aware you can simply drop the stones and embrace your brother or sister and allow the Lord to restore what the enemy has stolen. Forgive as you have been forgiven.

If this is not directed to you, pray for the Body of Christ. Pray and don't judge those holding stones – because that would be picking up a stone! Let's bind together in the love of Christ and receive the stone with His name upon it so we might stand against the giants in the land. Let's slay those giants that have come to oppose the Kingdom of God working through the Church to bless our families, our culture, and our nations.
