Lana Vawser: "June is Divine Bloom! The Month You Will Feel Like Pinching Yourself!"

THE ELIJAH LIST

Jun 2, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This is a "wow word" from Lana Vawser of Australia for the month of June. Many prophetic voices have said that this summer is going to be phenomenal and great shifts are here in the Body of Christ.

I want you to read this word, then reread it again...I pray it gets right down in your spirit-man as a seed from the Lord to you in this now season for the Church.

Lana shares this potent word:

This isn't just a new "season" for many of you, it's a "new era." What you are moving into now, the land of blessing, increase, abundance, opportunities and destiny, is nothing like you have ever experienced before.

Yes, believe God for a "new era" in your life...that is just beginning! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"June is Divine Bloom! The Month You Will Feel Like Pinching Yourself!"

Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Australia

Angels of Blessing and the Month of June

People of God: Hold on, hold on, hold on – for the Lord has dispatched angels of blessing to go before you and to bring recompense, restoration and increase back to you! Where the enemy has come and thought he plundered you, now the Lord has released these angelic hosts and they are going back to the enemy's camp and they are taking the spoils and bringing back all that was stolen.

"It is not surreal, it is supernaturally real!"

The enemy is being paid back for touching you. The enemy is being paid back for tormenting you. The enemy is being paid back for stealing, killing and destroying in your life. The enemy is being paid back for lying to you. The enemy is being paid back for attempting to kill you.

The Lord is rising in your defense! This past while has been so dark for so many, but I heard the Lord say that, "The level of darkness you have experienced is because of the major breakthrough that is being released in your life." It's not something that the Lord is saying "is coming," it's something that is "upon you."

There are going to be major demonstrations of increase, of the blessing of God, of recompense, redemption and restoration for you. The night has turned into day.

I saw these angelic hosts going up and down timelines and they were taking back everything that was stolen to bring back to the people of God. I saw these angelic hosts even going back into generational lines and closing doors as the people of God interceded and stood in declaration upon the Word of God.

I saw the Lord pronouncing blessing over generational lines and a line in the sand being drawn that decreed, "From this point on there will be blessing upon blessing."

Recently, the Lord spoke to me that there is a great battle on right now attempting to distract God's people. Don't look at the distraction. Keep standing upon the rhema Word the Lord gave you, for significant breakthrough and turnaround is upon you. (Photo via The Elijah Shopper. Angel Among Us by Jennifer Page)

Where there has been a dark cloud of heaviness, the Lord is decreeing a cloud of joy!

This isn't just a new "season" for many of you, it's a "new era." What you are moving into now, the land of blessing, increase, abundance, opportunities and destiny, is nothing like you have ever experienced before.

June, "The Month You Will Feel Like Pinching Yourself"

The Lord spoke to me about June and I heard Him say, "June, the month you will feel like pinching yourself." The atmosphere around me was filled with joy and the feeling of "exceeded" expectations and joy!

"There are going to be major demonstrations of increase, of the blessing of God, of recompense, redemption and restoration for you. The night has turned into day."

There is going to be so much breakthrough in joy that you will have the sense of "pinching yourself" because it feels surreal...and I felt the Lord say:

"It is not surreal, it is supernaturally real!"

There is going to be extravagant joy in June as the blessing, increase, recompense, redemption, restoration, favor and abundance of provision of the Lord's hand increases on a level many have never experienced before.

I saw June like a beautiful rose that was opening up and I heard the words, "June, the month of divine bloom."

So much is going to bloom in you, through you and for you in June! The aroma of Jesus, the Rose of Sharon, is going to increase so much in your life and through your life in June. A beautiful, deep, rich, new refreshing place of encounter with Jesus and place of deep intimacy will bloom!

Worship is Going to Lift Off the Hooks of the Past and Take You Higher Than You've Ever Been

I saw in June specifically, as God's people really press in deeply into worship (increasing our time and pressing deep in worship), hooks that have been used previously to "trigger" God's people into fear and torment (things used to hold them back, keep them on the ground, stopping them from flying), are suddenly lifting off and the Lord will take His people higher than they have ever been. He will take them higher in their perspective, their freedom, their joy, their peace, their revelation of the Word and significant increase in favor. (Photo via Pixabay)

Where these hooks have sucked the life out of many of God's people, causing a deep weariness and hopelessness of constantly being "pulled back" and a feeling of wanting to give up, these hooks will be removed once and for all! The Lord will give you greater hope, clarity, vision, joy, insight and wisdom for the future than you have ever had – to go further with Him than you ever dreamed.

Worship is a very strategic key to breakthrough always, but especially in June. Worship Jesus! Worship Jesus!

June: The month where you will feel like you are pinching yourself because of the amazing breakthrough, healing, joy, increase and abundance that He is releasing.

But remember what He said: "It's not surreal...it's supernaturally real!" (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Bill Yount: "This Is The Moment You Were Born For! The King Is Calling For You!" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Bill Yount: "This Is The Moment You Were Born For! The King Is Calling For You!"

May 18, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This is an activation word by Bill Yount in which he shares that the Lord is calling us all...yes that means ALL of US...into action!

No more waiting on the sidelines as you are part of the vast army of Christ and are much needed in the harvest at hand.

As Bill Yount shares this word of the Lord:

The Lord says, "There'll be no sitting on the sidelines this year. I'm taking the benches out. There'll be no benches to sit on. I'm calling everyone onto the field of their neighbors, city sidewalks, market places and the nations. Wherever you go, I'll be there." The move is on! The King is calling for you.

Enjoy this word and the many set-ups God will be bringing in your path! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"This Is The Moment You Were Born For! The King Is Calling For You!"

Bill Yount, Hagerstown, MD

I heard these words recently, "We gotta 'GO' for launching! We gotta 'Go' for launching!" Then it dawned on me. There can be no launching without a great shaking. I don't know about you but I'm sitting at the edge of my seat for what's next, for the King is calling.

The King Calls For Us in Many Ways to Launch Us

"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:" Deut. 32:11

Is your life being stirred, shaken and interrupted? I'll tell you why. The Lord has greater things for you. Like an eagle, He (the Lord) has landed and is shaking the Hell out of the place where you are. Embrace the shaking and kiss your normal life goodbye. It's time to spread your wings and fly, because you're an eagle not a chicken. Don't die in your nest.

"God is up to something good in your life. He is reaching down and taking the good, the bad and the ugly and stirring it all around and causing everything to work together for good for them who love Him and are called according to His purpose."

Forty years ago when I started attending our church, in the spirit I saw a huge eagle in a nest in our balcony. It was stirring the nest in people's lives. It stirred and shook twenty-six of us members out into full-time ministry. Some went overseas and never came back except for visits, for they fell in love with people over there. Some like myself stayed in the states. After 40 years I saw this eagle returning to our church and to the Body of Christ at large. The eagle has landed! The eagle has landed in our lives!

The Eagle Has Landed to Stir Up Our Spiritual Gifts and Talents

When the eagle landed 40 years ago in our church, it began to stir a hunger inside of me to hear God's voice. Back then, I lived two blocks up the street and I would walk to church begging God to let me hear His voice in the church service, for I needed to know what to do with my life. Because I was expecting to hear from the Lord Himself, He never failed to anoint my pastor or anyone else who stands in our pulpit to minister exactly what I needed to hear. For forty years in the same church, God still speaks to me, for my expectation is to hear from Him.

This eagle will stir, shake, and interrupt our lives. Looking back over my life, God has been in my interruptions more than He's been in my plans. I hear the Lord saying, "Kiss your normal life goodbye!" Your nest has had some nice comfortable feathers in it, but this year, as the nest shakes, the sharp sticks will jab and prick us out of our comfort to help us get out of the nest, because we were born to fly.

Every storm and adversity you have ever faced has come to prepare you to spread your wings this year. Don't die in the nest. The harvest is now. God often comes when we least expect it, when we are just going along in life minding our own business, and our dream is within reach and we're almost there. That's when the eagle often comes, interrupting our lives, to be about our Father's business.

The Lord says, "There'll be no sitting on the sidelines this year. I'm taking the benches out. There'll be no benches to sit on. I'm calling everyone onto the field of their neighbors, city sidewalks, market places and the nations. Wherever you go, I'll be there." The move is on! The King is calling for you. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

"I Am Up to Something Good!"

"Prepare for take off! Make sure your seat belts are fastened securely."

These were the words my wife, Dagmar and I heard sitting on a flight to Houston, Texas recently to minister. Then the pilot came on the intercom and said, "We are expecting a nice flight to Houston today."

When I heard this, I said, "Thank You Lord, we are on the right plane with the right pilot." A little later he says, "I see a couple minor things up here that concern me. I will get the mechanics to check it out, then we'll be on our way. After awhile he says, "I have good news for you. And I have bad news. The good news is, you will be going to Houston. The bad news is, not on this plane."

Those words pierced me and have never left me, for I believe it's a prophetic word for the Body of Christ this year.

I heard the Lord say, "You will be arriving at your destination that I have for you this year, but not by sitting in the pews of your churches. These pews will not take you there, neither will this nest."

We had to exit the plane to board another. Standing in a long line to board again, they announced yet another gate change for another flight. (There will be some gate changes coming for many of us this year.) I was frustrated with all these changes. I said, "Lord, what are You doing, because I'm on a mission for You?"

He said, "First of all, I just saved you from a plane crash. Another thing, I'm up to something good!" Many of God's people with all the stirring, shaking and interruptions are wondering, what is going on in their lives. They are wondering where God is or where He went to.

"Looking back over my life, God has been in my interruptions more than He's been in my plans."

Let me tell you: God is up to something good in your life. He is reaching down and taking the good, the bad and the ugly and stirring it all around and causing everything to work together for the good for them who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He has even pulled the stinger out of death and is using it for His glory!

From the Pit, From the Prison to the Palace, the King is Calling For You

"Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his clothes, and came in unto Pharaoh." Genesis 41:14

There are many of you who feel like you've been in the pit for a long time. Others have felt like you've been in a prison. But we are in a "But God" season. This year the King is calling for you to the palace.

I think we have the wrong impression of what that palace was like for Joseph being second in command. The Bible doesn't describe how beautiful that palace was but it does talk a lot about the reason God brought him there. "To save much people alive in the time of trouble and the famine that was coming" (see Genesis 50:20). Joseph considered the palace only to be a launching pad to launch his dream to save the people.

A King was building a palace in another country. He ordered huge pieces of glass mirrors to hang on the walls of the palace. When the shipment arrived most of them were broken through shipment. He became so angry that he said to his servants, "Break these huge pieces of glass into tiny pieces and throw them away. So they began smashing those huge glass mirrors into tiny pieces. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

As they were sweeping up all of the tiny pieces of glass to throw in the dumpster, one of the servants said to the king, "Oh, king, this stuff looks like diamonds! This stuff looks like diamonds!" As the king looked down on all those broken pieces, he had a divine thought. He had his servants pick up all those tiny broken pieces and he began pasting them all over the walls of the palace. When people came and began admiring the diamonds filling the walls of his palace, the king would finally tell them, "What you are looking at is just tiny broken pieces of glass."

Though hidden, the broken and crushed in spirit will rise out of the dust and ashes of life. God is making diamonds out of dust this year. He's making diamonds out of us. This is the year for broken people to be healed and redeemed and our King will be decorating the walls of His palace house with broken people who shine like diamonds in His Kingdom.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore!

I am reminded of the Wizard of Oz movie where a tornado picked up Dorothy's house in Kansas and whirled it to another place. When it landed, Dorothy said to her dog, "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore." I hear the Lord saying to the Body of Christ, "We're not in Kansas anymore. You can't go back and live like you used to and do the things you used to do. You will have to think differently, for you are in a new place."

The King is calling for you and me. This is the moment we were born for. Ask the King what's next for you. Don't be surprised by what you hear. It may blow your mind. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Steve Shultz: "Why I'm so Filled with HOPE - After the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump!" - The Elijah List

Steve Shultz: "Why I'm so Filled with HOPE - After the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump!"

The Elijah List  Jan 27, 2017

It's hard to communicate to you how HOPE-FILLED I am for this nation and for the Church at large, having gone to the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump, but I'll see what I can do.

Now, first before I go any further, let me clarify that Donald Trump is just a man, so he cannot and will not be the salvation of our nation. Only Jesus Christ is in the "Salvation by Grace through faith business".

But from the perspective of human beings who rule on the earth, and understanding that God raises up (or tears down) kings and all rulers in the nation, I feel more excited about who "God has chosen" in this election more than any time in my life. (Pictured: Steve and Derene Shultz and the Christian Inaugural Gala)

Coming Out of a Dark Period

We came through a difficult period of entering into wars starting in the year 2001 with the tragedy of the downing of the Twin Towers on 9/11. During those years, it was hard to see so many dying and so little progress. When the next administration took office in 2009, the hard times seemed to continue but even worse, and the moral and economic decline was clear to anyone who was paying attention.

Christians over the last decade had become increasingly fearful of speaking out in public for fear of being branded a racist, or sexist, a homophobe or a bigot or xenophobe. Colleges created safe spaces for students to hold liberal views who were fearful of being confronted with so much as a conservative idea.

Bakers were put out of business because they would not bake a cake for a gay wedding. Pastors decided not to mention anything political from the pulpit for fear of losing their tax-exempt statuses, CEO's were fired for donations to conservative causes. Gay marriage was not only made acceptable but now officially sanctioned by the United States Government. Our country was overrun with millions of undocumented (illegal) immigrants, our national debt skyrocketed to 20 TRILLION dollars, and Terrorism within our own borders succeeded with multiple attacks with mass casualties. It's been a long, pretty dark period in this nation.

Yes, Jesus remained on the Throne during this whole time...NOTHING taking HIM by surprise. Nothing.

But it's been hard...UP UNTIL NOW.

Now...It's Getting Brighter

Now it won't get suddenly bright but it's getting brighter more quickly than we could have imagined.

Derene (my wife) and I rolled into Washington DC on the 18th of January, prepared to celebrate the Inauguration. IMMEDIATELY the difference in the atmosphere was evident. You could feel it! And it was amazing. (Pictured: Derene Shultz and the Christian Inaugural Gala)

A Christian cabdriver offered his services and we snatched them up, calling him each time we needed a ride to somewhere. As we drove through the city to our hotel, people wearing red hats that said, "Make America Great Again" were in elevators, hotels and on the street.

Suddenly we didn't have to keep our mouths shut. We could say, "Go Trump," or "God bless you," and it was fine to do so. (Pictured: Police on the streets Inauguration Day waiting for parade)

God loves FREEDOM. He came to give us freedom and it's FREEDOM that America was founded upon. Yet much of that had been taken away from us and then suddenly...IT'S BACK.

We all felt it. God was in this! God was in this election and Christians can once again talk openly about God, and it felt so FREEING to do so. Are you feeling the hope yet?

The Celebrations Begin

Derene and I walked probably close to 8 miles in a day and a half there in DC, because one had to walk everywhere as most of the streets were closed off for security. As we did, we could talk to anyone on the street knowing they were friends...or at least likely so!

We just made it in time to watch Mr. Trump's motorcade rush up and into secure areas at the Trump Hotel the day before the Inauguration. Pictured here, I am visiting with one of Donald Trump's communications persons (you'll recognize her from Fox News), Regina (Katrina) Pierson.

Just after President-Elect Donald Trump arrived at the Trump Hotel, I was able to shake hands with Katrina and thanked her for the good work she's doing. Here's is a quote about her: "Katrina Pierson may literally be the face of the Donald Trump campaign—mostly because if Trump himself can't make an appearance on cable news, Americans see her face talking on the screen instead." (I first saw her on Celebrity Apprentice years ago.)

Later that night, we dined with more than 1,000 Christian Leaders at the Christian Inaugural Gala! (Pictured here is a photo of the gorgeous Washington Hilton, and feast your eyes on the number of Christian Leaders in town to celebrate this election.)

On Inauguration morning, the 20th, we walked down (again all dressed up) for the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast where again, more than 1,000 Believers were gathered to eat together, worship and celebrate this event. We were led in prayer by people such as Kat Kerr, David Herzog and led in worship by Kimberly Rivera. What an amazing feeling. The mood, even at this very early-in-the-morning breakfast, was so filled with worship to God and celebration of His goodness. (Pictured below: Steve and Derene Shultz with Sharon Billins at the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast)

Then following the breakfast, Derene and I went next door to the Ronald Regan Building and celebrated even more with Christian leaders who had gathered together to celebrate and to watch the Inauguration happening only a few blocks away—but we watched it on large flat-screen TV's in different parts of the room. The atmosphere was electric and often this indoor crowd would erupt into thunderous applause as Donald Trump was sworn in as our 45th President.

Hope for the Church and the USA

As for myself, I was surprised as tears rolled down my cheeks as Mr. Trump became President Trump. It's as if the Hopes and Fears for this last, very long season, were suddenly culminating as a direct result of unified prayers from the Saints of God.

My hope is off the charts. Again, my main hope is in the LORD and our trust is in HIM and not in a man, but God is using Donald Trump to answer many Believers prayers for years and years and years to come.

I truly believe that the Church and the USA have entered into a time of great HOPE. Yes, there will be trials and probably some tragedies in years to come, but more and more of God's peace is coming for a great season of Harvest that is planned. I do not subscribe to, as some do, the philosophy that says, "We need persecution to drive people into the Church." That belief makes God seem weak, as if He can't reach sinners by His Spirit unless He gives them persecution. That would be a picture of an inept God. Instead, God is going to use a season of relative peace to introduce the earth to the greatest Renaissance and Awakening in Christ that the world has ever seen!

Prophetic Word: 'I Saw Angels at Almost the Speed of Light' - STEVE SHULTZ CHARISMA NEWS

God has more than enough angels to send thousands in your direction, so always keep praying for this (Getty Images )

Prophetic Word: 'I Saw Angels at Almost the Speed of Light'

 11/29/2016 STEVE SHULTZ  CHARISMA NEWS

Early yesterday morning, while it was still dark outside, I began to see in the spirit angels up against a blue sky, traveling at almost light-speed all over the United States of America on huge, important assignments. The air was blurry with the rush of angels. It was an amazing thing to see.

Though the skies were filled with angels traveling throughout the U.S., not even one veered from its course. Each knew what the task was to which they were assigned and paid no attention to other problem areas in the nation.

Angels Assigned to War Zones

There were pockets of dark activity below, and these angels and angelic army forces, who were assigned to these war zones in the U.S., were fighting with amazing and purposeful focus. I knew this was going on throughout the earth, but my focus was our U.S. skies.

I felt in my spirit a call to pray to strengthen these angels in their fight. God designed the earth and the whole cosmos to work through the prayers of the saints. Thus, when saints pray, angels are more successful.

Daniel prayed for 21 days and even then, Gabriel needed more help from Michael, the archangel, to get through that war zone to Daniel (see Daniel 10).

It is even more so today with more than seven billion souls on earth; the saints' prayers are needed. Your prayers are needed for the very angelic help you are seeking.

Strategic Prayer for Warring Angels, for the U.S. and for Our Families

1. Pray for angels on assignment to complete each assignment without interference for you, for your family and for your nation.

2. Pray the U.S. will be protected from within and from without by these angels from further terrorist activity. Pray for other nations in the same way.

3. Pray for your family members and friends. Pray for them by name. I was reminded the other day by Cindy Jacobs to pray Psalm 91 over all our family members. Do that for your family and for the family of God—the Body of Christ. Especially pray Psalm 91:9-12 (see below) about angelic protection.

4. Pray the post-election chaos will die down, and we will have a peaceful transition from one administration to the next in the White House.

5. Pray against all terrorist acts. Ask God to send angels throughout the earth and throughout the U.S., thwarting terrorist attacks.

6. Ask God to send even more angels than He has already sent. He has more than enough angels, but He seeks our prayers to fulfill His will. That's how He set up the universe. Your prayers are needed.

My personal testimony of praying for angels: Our family has always prayed for thousands of angels to protect us. For decades we've prayed this way. Many times, seers or prophets have been shocked by what they saw protecting our land and property: swarms and swarms of God's angels. We've prayed them in for years. You must do the same.

Again, God has more than enough angels to send thousands your direction, but always keep praying for this. Don't be stingy in your prayers. Pray big prayers for big angels for even the tiniest problems, and of course the huge ones as well.

The Lord is releasing the angels of abundant harvest. Charisma House is releasing Jennifer LeClaire's new book with a profound prophetic word and teaching principles to cooperate with heaven in this season. Check it out at angelsprophecy.com.

Read this carefully, especially verses 9-12:

Psalm 91:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust."

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you shall find protection;
His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,
nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you behold
and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 there shall be no evil befall you,
neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 for He shall give His angels charge over you
to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;
the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him My salvation.

"Forgiveness and the Future of Your City"by Francis Frangipane, Cedar Rapids, IA

When I look at the conditions of our world – the deep racial and political divisions, immigration problems, terror threats, national debt, wars, and lawlessness in our cities – a deep foreboding comes over my soul. As Christians, we all believe the call of 2 Chronicles 7:14 offers hope – but what if there is no response to the call to humble ourselves and pray? Is there anything we can do to restore hope and stability?

There is a situation mentioned in the Bible that offers a solution. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, "...and all his army, with all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem" (Jer. 34:1). Because of Israel's sin even the Lord had seemingly withdrawn. For nearly forty years, Jeremiah pleaded with God's people to repent, but they would not. Israel was nearly apostate, and the dire and repeated warnings of Jeremiah were about to come to pass.

However, hidden in the ways of God was a plan, a redemptive strategy that would reverse Israel's direction. If the Jews implemented a "Year of Remission" (see Deut. 15:1-18), God would show to them the same mercy they showed to one another. What was required was that "each man [would] set free his male servant and each man his female servant...so that no one [would] keep them, a Jew his brother, in bondage" (Jer. 34:9).

Not only did they agree to this year of release, but "all the officials and all the people obeyed." Then, in earnest faith, they "entered into the covenant...so that no one should keep them any longer in bondage; they obeyed, and set them free" (Jer. 34:10).

The Bible says the Judeans then cut a calf in two and passed "between its parts" (Jer. 34:18). This was the same kind of covenant ritual Abraham had made with the Lord centuries earlier (see Gen. 15:10, 17-18.). The redemptive plan of God was this: If the Israelites set free their slaves, they would not be taken as slaves. If they showed mercy, God would show Himself merciful to them as well. Even though they were, by all counts, nearly apostate, the act of releasing the debts of others would have averted the destruction of their cities, for "mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13)!

As they were releasing one another, something marvelous occurred. Supernaturally the Lord drew "the king of Babylon…away" (Jer. 34:21). At the very moment the people were releasing the debts of others, God was reducing their debt to Him. What they did on earth was actually being replicated for them in Heaven!

In all the years since the establishment of the Law, Israel had never celebrated such a year of release. Yet now, even with their enemies within striking range, Israel covenanted with God to free every man his slave.

Unforgiveness in the Church

How does the above story relate to us? Today we too are facing overwhelming foes. Our society is overrun with corruption and the Church is hardly better than the world. The prophets are warning of judgment, and at times, it seems as though God has stopped listening to our prayers.

Yet I believe if we can sincerely forgive those who are spiritual debtors to us – even starting with those in our homes and families – if we extend forgiveness to our neighbors and proclaim release to those who left our churches, if Blacks could forgive Whites and white people forgive people of color, the mercy of God will begin to fall again on our land.

Let the Lord reveal all with whom you have unforgiveness. Let mayors announce a day of release. Let white police and people from the Black community pray for each other, asking for forgiveness for mistakes and abuses. If we show mercy, God will show mercy as well.

Don't forget – Jesus taught that if we are at the altar and remember someone has unforgiveness toward us, we are to leave our offering and be reconciled (Matt. 5:23-24). Reconciliation is more important than ritual, according to the Lord. Yes, let us covenant with God for our communities and even for our nation!

Indeed, let us take this one step further: Let us release those who have voted for candidates with whom we strongly disagree. 

It is time to rid ourselves of every debt we feel we are owed by others. And let us start anew to rebuild our lives in Christ and reunite in the power of redemption. Let us bring Christ's covenant of forgiveness into our interracial relationships, and let us, each one, forgive others as completely as God in Christ has forgiven us.

The Sad End of Jeremiah 34

In spite of the great breakthrough Israel experienced, their story ends badly. For when the enemy left and the pressure was off, each man "took back" his male and female servants and "brought them into subjection" (see vs. 13-16).

Beloved, hear me please: If only the Jews would have followed through and held fast their release, the Book of Lamentations never would have been written! Mercy would have triumphed and remained, but such was not the case.

Still, for us, the final chapters of our times are yet to be written. We can learn from the example we see in Jeremiah 34. 

If we will embrace mercy, if we can sincerely release one another, we will escape the dire expectations coming to meet our sinful society. Our actions today, even now, will determine whether our society is blessed or judged. Let us, therefore, release the debts of every man and covenant for mercy for our land.

Heavenly Father, we recall the words of Jesus, Your Son. He mentioned how often He desired to gather the people together, but they would not have it. He warned that their house would be left to them desolate. We hear this and set our hearts to forgive and maintain forgiveness. We ask to be gathered together, to forgive and to be healed from the burden of our past. God have mercy on us even as we extend mercy to others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
