Kathie Walters: "When God Tells You To Do Something, Do It By Faith"

THE ELIJAH LIST Oct 1, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

We really enjoy reading Kathie Walters' testimonies and God-stories when she sends us her articles...and I know our readers do too! Kathie's ministry is all about showing us that the supernatural realm is for everyone in our everyday lives.

Her article today is about us walking by faith in what God has called us to do as she shares:

Everything we receive from God we receive by faith only, there is nothing we can do to earn it, so you have to make a decision that you can hear because Jesus said you could hear... All His provision is in His purpose. So let your faith work in hearing from God.

If you've noticed, we have posted words about faith, vision and provision going hand-in-hand.

Folks, it's a new season to step out in FAITH!

"When God Tells You To Do Something, Do It By Faith"

Kathie Walters, Macon, GA

Receive in Faith

I have so many emails from people who are confused about the "direction" God wants them to take. Not sure whether to move, or where to? Or what is next in their life? House hard to sell?

Well, let me tell you, you don't have to do trial and error. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice." We need to sit still and listen. But sit still in faith, believing YOU CAN HEAR. 

Everything we receive from God we receive by faith only, there is nothing we can do to earn it, so you have to make a decision that you can hear because Jesus said you could hear. 

And what He says, you have to get in your spirit, not just in your head.

The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of faith, and it needs to be the Holy Spirit who is operating, as His faith is supernatural. It's not the natural faith that moves mountains – it's the faith that God gave to us by His Spirit. He has already given it to you when you got born again and to every man and woman is given "the measure of faith."

One time, we were confused about what God had for us. We had many words given to us, but some of them caused even more confusion. It felt like I was pushing doors that just wouldn't open. Then I had a dream, and in the dream I was sitting down on the floor in the middle of a very dark room. I couldn't see anything at all, and for sure I couldn't see where the door was. But I waited in faith, believing God would show me. After a short while, a light shone on a door and it was so easy then. I just got up and walked to the door, opened it and went out.

The Word of the Lord Releases Faith

"Let your faith work in hearing from God."

If the Lord gives us a word, like when we left Orlando, it will release faith. We had a church in Orlando, and we were enjoying Orlando. We had been there about ten years, and as I was driving one day, the Lord said to me, "It's time to leave this place and wipe off the dust from your feet." I was shocked! By the way, "Wiping the dust from your feet" means that you put things right as much as you can with people you've had disagreements with.

I told David and we asked the Lord to confirm it from outside (someone that didn't know of the situation). I thought of a friend in England who I knew heard from God very clearly. I asked the Lord to get Harry Greenwood to call me. And I said, "Harry has to say the same thing to me as You."

A few days later, I remembered what I said and reminded the Lord that He needed to have Harry call me. About five minutes later the phone rang and I answered. It was Harry. "Harry Greenwood here, what's going on?"

"Harry," I said, "Where are you?"

"I don't know," he said, "some restaurant in Arizona."

Harry never called people, as he had a wife, a secretary and an assistant who always called for him.

"Well," I said (I didn't want to tell him anything of course), we're having a good time."

"It's time for you to leave that place and wipe off the dust from your feet, OK," Harry said. He prayed a prayer and put down the phone. He prayed for some divine connections. (Photo via deviantart)

When that word came, it released God's faith (not our natural faith). Now we had to move on.

"OK God," I said. "You will have to tell us how to sell the house."

Selling and Moving On

Where we lived, the area was overbuilt and the builders were getting people houses at very low-interest rates loans, so our house was hard to sell.

The next day the Holy Spirit said to me, "Take $200 and go to Home Depot. Buy $200 dollars worth of brightly colored flowers and put them in the front yard and put out a 'for sale by owner' sign."

I did all that and put the flowers in the front yard, etc. with the, "for sale by owner" sign. A couple of weeks later, I was sitting, reading my Bible, and the Lord spoke to me, "The man who is going to buy the house is coming today."

So I got up and tidied the house. About 10 am, the phone rang. It was a lady who said, "We saw your sign. Can we come and see the house this morning?" I said "OK," and we made an appointment.

This couple came and looked at the house. The lady said to me, "Actually, we weren't looking in this area really, but every time we drove by, I noticed those flowers. I love flowers."

So the flowers were just an "attention getter". God told David what price to ask for the house. The couple said they liked the house, but they had an appointment in South Florida to look at a house near a golf course. They said it was a very good deal, so they wanted to check it out. They went off to South Florida.

Two days later as I woke, up, I had a vision of the man and he stumbled and almost fell over. I prayed in the spirit. Later that day, I had another vision of his limo pulling up to our house. He got out of the limo with his shirt over his arm. This was very unusual, as he was very immaculate. Suit and tie, even when it was 100 degrees.

Two days later in the afternoon, in the middle of my daughter's birthday party, the limo drove up and the man got out of the limo with his shirt over his arm, just as I saw in my vision. He explained that the air conditioning in the limo had broken and wasn't working.

"Everything we receive from God we receive by faith only."

They came in and sat down. "We decided to buy the house," he said, "but a very strange thing happened to me down in South Florida."

He was looking at us very strangely, and a bit scared. "What happened?" I asked.

"The place we went to see offered us such a good deal on some property. I was sitting down with the pen in my hand to sign the contract, and suddenly my hand froze and I couldn't move it, so I dropped the pen and left, and here I am."

Well, there was a lot more supernatural things that happened during this sale. He asked us where we were moving to and we told him that God hadn't told us yet. He let us rent the house for $800 a month until God showed us where He wanted us to go.

The man told us in the end that when he was a young man, his three-year-old daughter was dying of Leukemia in the hospital. He knelt by the bed and said to God, "If You heal my daughter, I'll serve You."

The next day his little girl left the hospital completely healed, but he never did keep his end of the bargain. When he met us and he saw God was so involved in our lives, God challenged him again about his word. I don't know what he did because we moved on. 

To make a long story short, all of our moves have been like this.

Are You Open?

The point is that you can't move God with your natural faith, but He can release HIS FAITH and move you in His purposes. 

Maybe you need to get a word from the Lord to confirm what He wants for you where you are, doing what you are doing. All His provision is in His purpose. So let your faith work in hearing from God. You can't move the Rock, but the Rock can move you.

Sometimes you have to let things go, so they don't have you. God doesn't mind what you have, as long as it doesn't have you and HE HAS YOU. (Photo via Pixabay)

If He wants you to live in England, are you open? If He wants you to live in Kenya, are you open? It's yielding to His purposes and to His Spirit. He moves you; you don't move God. His faith is released for His purposes. His anointing is also released in His purposes. His anointing comes by yielding, not by trying. Trying and striving will take you out of the Holy Spirit realm. 

Enjoy the journey.

Baton Rouge, Nice, Dallas, Orlando – A Dark And Distressing Time Has Descended Upon The Civilized World - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Baton Rouge, Nice, Dallas, Orlando – A Dark And Distressing Time Has Descended Upon The Civilized World Posted: 17 Jul 2016  Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG Does it not seem as though events are starting to accelerate significantly?  Since I warned that something “had shifted” and that things had “suddenly become more serious“, we have seen the worst mass shooting in U.S. history in Orlando, we have seen the massacre of five police officers in Dallas, we have seen the horrifying terror rampage in Nice, and now we have seen the brutal murder of three police officers in Baton Rouge.   On Sunday morning, the peace and quiet in Baton Rouge were shattered when “dozens of shots” erupted less than one mile from police headquarters.  By the end of it, 29-year-old Gavin Eugene Long had killed three officers and seriously wounded three others.  It was a crime fueled by pure hatred, and Long specifically waited for his 29th birthday to launch the attack… The shooter who killed three law enforcement officers and wounded three others in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday was a Missouri man who launched a deadly rampage on his 29th birthday, police sources said. Gavin Long, who was born on July 17, 1987, was the man who gunned down officers before he was killed in a gunbattle with other officers responding to the shootings. Two Baton Rouge police officers — ages 41 and 49 — died, said Police Chief Carl Dabadie. The gunman also killed a 45-year-old sheriff’s deputy and critically wounded a 41-year-old deputy who is “fighting for his life,” said East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux. So what motivated Long to commit this horrible crime? Here is what the Daily Caller found… A Youtube account operated by Gavin Eugene Long and discovered by The Daily Caller reveals key insight into what might have motivated the 29-year-old black man who killed three Baton Rouge police officers Sunday morning. Videos on Long’s account show that he was a former Nation of Islam member. He also ranted against “crackers” and made references to Alton Sterling, the black man killed by police in Baton Rouge on July 5. Did Long actually believe that gunning down innocent police officers would honor the memory of Alton Sterling? Sadly, it appears that there are a lot of other people out there that feel the exact same way that Long did.  In fact, there were a number of people that were openly celebrating the shooting of police officers in Baton Rouge on Twitter and calling for more cops to be killed. This country is starting to come apart at the seams, and from now on it is going to be very, very dangerous to be a police officer in America.  Perhaps you may not have heard of this yet, but there was actually another plot to kill police officers in Baton Rouge that was foiled ahead of time… Police in Baton Rouge were on high alert earlier this week after a gang – including boys aged just 12 and 13 – were arrested as they tried to steal handguns as part of a ‘substantial, credible threat’ to harm police officers in Baton Rouge. Authorities discovered the alleged plot while responding to a burglary at a pawn shop early on June 9. They arrested one suspect – Antonio Thomas, 17 – at the scene with a handgun and a BB gun. During questioning, Thomas said that he and three other suspects stole the firearms and ‘were going to get bullets to shoot police,’ authorities said. And another police officer was shot on Sunday in Milwaukee while he was just sitting in his squad car… A Milwaukee police officer was shot in a “vicious” attack early Sunday as he sat in his squad car while colleagues investigated a domestic disturbance call, an official said. The suspected shooter, identified by police as a 20-year-old West Allis man with two felonies on his record, was found dead in a nearby yard, they said. The incident began as a response to a domestic disturbance call near South 17th Street and West Morgan Avenue at about 2 a.m. During that investigation, someone fired shots into the squad car, striking an officer “multiple” times,” Asst. Police Chief William Jessup said in a morning press conference. Can you imagine the stress that many police officers and their families are feeling these days? Could you imagine leaving home each day realizing that there is a huge target painted on your chest and that you might not make it home that night to see your family? I am sure that a lot of law enforcement officers are having some very serious family discussions these days.  And I am sure that a lot of them are actually considering leaving law enforcement altogether.  All it takes is a single bullet to change your life forever, and right now there are way too many people out there that want to harm anyone in a police uniform. I think that a recent piece by Scott G. Erickson put it very succinctly… What feelings must resonate within the patrolman who is responding to a call of domestic violence or simple larceny? Am I the next target? Is this really a routine call for service or is it an ambush? No longer can the patrolman simply worry about the reported crime itself but rather he or she must approach these events as though they are potentially walking into the next Dallas or Baton Rouge. And that is no way to function as a police officer. The stress, strain, and uncertainty would be unbearable. And it isn’t just police officers that need to be concerned about the rising violence. The Republican National Convention is this week, and it could be a big, fat, juicy target for Islamic terrorists, police haters, or anyone else that is out to make some sort of huge statement.  There are going to be thousands of people protecting the convention, but there are still concerns that something unexpected may happen… The sunny celebration butts uncomfortably against a massive security operation that shows the other side of Cleveland’s big moment. City and U.S. officials are preparing for the worst, aware that tensions over race relations and police use of force, as well as reaction to Trump’s polarizing campaign, could result in violence on the streets. Clevelanders are also aware of the backdrop for their convention: the mass shooting in Orlando that killed 50 people in June, the sniper attack that killed five Dallas police this month, and the truck assault that killed 84 this week in Nice. Let us hope and pray for safety in Cleveland, and let us hope and pray that tensions ease in major cities all over the nation. A dark and distressing time has descended upon the civilized world, and virtually everywhere you look anger and frustration are rising to very dangerous levels. We were warned that this might be a “summer of chaos”, and so far that has definitely been the case.  Let us hope that things start to cool off before events start to spiral completely out of control.
