“The Blood of Jesus” – Now Think On This by Steve Martin

April 9, 2020 Love For His People in Charlotte, NC USA

“And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.”

Revelation 12:11, NASU

Growing up in the Roman Catholic Church and going to Mass more than just the required Sunday morning, or later to the scheduled Saturday night option, tended to de-sensitize my mind, soul, and spirit to the true meaning, and purpose, of the Eucharist, or more commonly known as communion. Some call it the Last Supper, when in fact it is the Jewish Passover celebration.

I was missing the revelation that Jesus (Yeshua) wanted to give to all at His last Passover on earth, starting with His Jewish disciples. As instructed, they had gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, next to Mount Moriah, a short distance from where Abraham had also gone centuries before in obedience to God, to sacrifice Isaac upon the altar. This was a foretaste of the Father sacrificing His Only Begotten Son.

Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah

Try as I might, I had a real hard time believing that when we were given the host communion wafer that it had been transformed into His Body, which Catholics call the transubstantiation. What originally was matzah bread, or unleavened bread in Jesus’ day and even today in Jewish and believing homes, the concept escaped me. Even when dipped in the wine cup by the ordained, celebrate priest, rather than sharing the cup of the fruit of the vine as then, this whole idea of Jesus’ Body and Blood, broken and shed for all of us, remained unclear and uncertain.

Roman Catholic Mass – chalice, wine, crucifix

During the growing years at my elementary grade school at St. Patrick’s in Cedar Falls, Iowa, as the altar boy dressed in the black and white and catching a few hosts that on occasion were about to drop onto the floor when it missed the kneeling, or standing, recipient’s tongue (good thing we had the golden platter with the handle attached to catch it) it still didn’t help in understanding the reverence of the moment. It seemed though many did grasp this understanding, judging by the solemn look on their face when receiving, I certainly did not.

For many years following, as I became a member of several Protestant churches as the years went by, where having communion wasn’t the main center point of the church service, and less shared given the weeks or months that would pass without it, my heart still wasn’t quite there.

The revelation of the body and blood of Jesus just hadn’t reached me yet. Even now, on my way to the 7th decade of life, there must be something more than what my mind has yet to realize.

It truly is a thing yet to be grasped. For me at least. Our finite minds cannot grasp the full measure of what the Lord had done beginning at that Passover, and continuing on through the crucifixion that followed, at least on this side of heaven. It truly is a matter of faith, believing that which we cannot see, but what we know in our hearts is the truth.

But as I continue to contemplate the cruelty of the crucifixion, the scourging that Yeshua’s body was given with the severe beating, and whipping to the point of what was believed to be one less swing that would have brought death at any moment (being He received 39 out of the 40 lashes that typically brought death), my heart begins to beat fast with grief, but also with thanksgiving.

O the love of Jesus, to do what He had done. For you and for me.

As Jesus Himself said to the disciples, He could have called on multitudes of angels to deliver Him from the Roman death sentence, but He didn’t.

He could have walked away from the death ahead, and live for Himself, but He didn’t.

He could have said, “Let this cup pass from Me, Father. I will not go through with this.” But He didn’t.

He gave Himself for us. He would let His precious blood flow, the saving blood that carried the forgiveness needed for all of mankind, for the redemption of the world.

He had come to save the world, and being He Alone was the perfect sacrificial Lamb, the Passover Lamb, the One without spot or wrinkles as the Just and Holy God the Father demanded because of His holiness, Yeshua the Messiah completed the mission He had come to accomplish.

The Blood of Jesus, as the hymns of old were so properly versed, is the only solution that can wash away our sin. (“Nothing But the Blood”, Robert Lowry 1876)

We are now called to be “…looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrew 12:2, NKJV

Throughout the year, and not just during Passover or Good Friday when all this is more prominent and in the forefront, we must meditate on the life given for us, that life being of His laid down, when He shed His blood for you and me.

My prayer for you and me is for a fuller revelation of what it cost Yeshua when He gave His redeeming Blood, poured out for us. I am convinced that when more revelation does come, the Power in His blood that flows will further propel us into the glorious mission He has given to us, to take the Good News to the ends of the earth, preaching and teaching with all boldness, assurance, and understanding.

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus saves.

Thank You, Lord, for giving us Your Blood. The Blood of Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, Who is the Savior of the world.

Now think on this.

Ahava and shalom,

Johnny Enlow: "A Super Bowl Message For Our Day" The Elijah List

Johnny Enlow: "A Super Bowl Message For Our Day"

The Elijah List Feb 15, 2019

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I really enjoyed having Elizabeth and Johnny Enlow at our recent annual conference last month. There was so much prophetic revelation released from them.

Johnny is one who truly understands the day in which we live as God gives him many prophetic signs that happen in current events.

Johnny shares some profound revelation from the recent 53rd Super Bowl:

This was the 53rd Super Bowl. Psalm 53:1 starts with, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works..." This is the scenario that is being visibly played out in front of our nation. There is a godless and evil agenda being exposed as it has never been before. 

It is going to a place described in Psalm 53:5, "...For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because God has despised them." The exposure is going to include those even dead and gone who were initial building blocks of the "abominable iniquity" now being revealed.

God is cleaning house, so to speak, across the earth. We are going to see much more of this on a large scale. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Super Bowl Message For Our Day"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

Once again, I believe there is an encouraging word for us from this past Super Bowl result, where the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. I find it always best to wait for the results as almost every detail has an accompanying message for us. I will point out some of the main ones that I have seen. For those who have followed my previous prophetic words, you will see the synchronicity with what has been said. To put the puzzle together, here are the following names and numbers that have significance: 53, Patriots, Rams, Tom Brady, 12, Julian Edelman, Robert Kraft, 13-3.

The 53rd Super Bowl & Psalm 53

"The Lord is bringing us out of bondage from a previously hidden agenda of death that is being progressively exposed."

This was the 53rd Super Bowl. Psalm 53:1 starts with, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works..." This is the scenario that is being visibly played out in front of our nation. There is a godless and evil agenda being exposed as it has never been before. It is going to a place described in Psalm 53:5, "...For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because God has despised them." The exposure is going to include those even dead and gone who were initial building blocks of the "abominable iniquity" now being revealed.

Psalm 53:6 ends with, "...let Jacob rejoice and let Israel be glad." As we follow the Super Bowl story we see that both the owner of the winning team as well as the game's MVP (Most Valuable Player) are both Jews. Though evil is also being exposed of corrupt men and women of Jewish descent, do not let that jade you toward antisemitism as there is a great "next chapter" in Israel's restoration being advanced. We honor Israel because they are the original root for the Savior of the world. There has also never been a retraction from God on His original pronouncement over Israel through Abraham in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse..."

The Patriots

The Patriots winning is no surprise as they have been in the Super Bowl all three "Trump" years. The red, white and blue colors, of course, match the colors of our flag and there really is a heavenly intention to make America great for the sake of a world Kingdom breakthrough. A repeat pattern is seen here with the World Series baseball result, where the Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers. The city that represents original patriotism defeats the city that presently is known for being the bastion of far left and socialist politics.

I have repeatedly pointed out the color red representing an empowering by the Blood of Jesus. It also happens to be the color advanced by President Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) hats. Trump is a gift from God to this nation and the world, and that will be progressively seen. It is not at all that God is red Republican, but at present, this party is the party carrying the agenda of God through the Cyrus mandate on Donald J. Trump.

Both losing Los Angeles teams carried a primary blue color. This doesn't have to always be a negative, nor does this condemn these teams to never win again. It is just in the light of today's realities that the blue is associated with a horrible socialistic agenda of death that at present is being exposed in the Democratic Party. There are good people and even worthy policies in the party – but it is in the valley of decision right now whether they can coexist with the extreme elements that have hijacked this party.

The Rams

The Rams losing has a double message for us. Beginning with the story of Abraham and Isaac we see that it was a ram that was provided for the sacrifice instead of Isaac (Genesis 22:13). Then multiple times throughout Leviticus the ram's role as a redemptive sacrifice was mentioned. In this Super Bowl story the Ram's sacrificed for the Patriots to be champions. The Rams scored 3 and this speaks of the Trinity working together to allow the Patriots to win. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are again all active in a great intervention on planet Earth. (Photo via Unsplash)

A second message from the Rams losing is that they represent a blue and yellow (the Ram's colors) agenda being defeated. Blue is associated with where the Democrat Party presently is at and yellow represents Hollywood as it is the color we (my wife and I) associate in our Rainbow God book with the Mountain of Celebration (arts and entertainment) which is headquartered in Hollywood/LA. The blue and yellow have been working together to be on the wrong side at this time.

The Scripture, Daniel 8:20, when isolated just for this occasion, gives an amazing message for today. It says, "The ram which you saw, having the two horns – they are the kings of Media and Persia." If you watched the Super Bowl you know that the Ram's helmet has a yellow horn against a blue background on each side. If you read this passage directly to apply to the Super Bowl (yes, I know that is not the full intended meaning and application of this Scripture, but God is amazing to hide real-time revelation in this kind of way), you see that it speaks of a ram having two horns which are kings of Media and Persia.

"There is a godless and evil agenda being exposed as it has never been before."

Also, another things that is of interest is that if you read Daniel 8 you know that in this part it is the archangel Gabriel who is saying these words to Daniel. I have previously identified Gabriel as the archangel over the Mountain of Media and I find this fascinating. The ram's two horns represent the kings of Media and Persia. It is quite significant that the great battle President Trump faces is with the dominant "fake news" media and that they are presently totally aligned and empowered by a not-yet-transformed Hollywood (the yellow). The king of Persia speaks of the "prince of Persia" principality that presently operates as the ruling god of Islam. Both sinister "kings" are in the process of being defeated.

Tom Brady #12

The name Tom/Thomas means "twin" or "double." The greatest quarterback in history won yet another Super Bowl. Appropriately enough, he wears 12 which is the number of government. Tom was taking all kinds of heat on Super Bowl week for daring to wear a red MAGA hat. He is a known supporter of President Trump – a fact which riles the soon-to-be-defeated bad "kings" of Media. I believe he represents Trump's present quarterback position in America, and the fact that his name means "twin" speaks of Trump winning another four year term as president of the United States. Even Tom's marriage to a Brazilian mirrors the recent election of Bolsonaro as president of Brazil. He is called the "Trump of the Tropics" and I believe he and Trump will greatly strengthen each other as they are of the same "family."

MVP Julian Edelman

Though I personally thought Tom Brady deserved the MVP of the game, I believe there is a message here as well. Edelman is the first Jewish MVP of a Super Bowl ever. He is often noted for being little, but tough, a key player and always starring in the big games. This basically describes Israel, who continues to hold a central place in the great storytelling God is doing on planet Earth. If Brady represents Trump, then Edelman represents Israel, and it is the tandem that works for victory. Of interest, Brazil's president, Bolsonaro, has led Brazil and joined the United States as the only large nations to endorse Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (note that Guatemala has also done this).

Owner Robert Kraft

Just in case we missed the vital role of the Israel connection, we find that Robert Kraft is the 77-year-old majority owner of the New England Patriots. Both his age and his ethnicity are speaking important things to us. I have probably covered 7s enough for that to be obvious by now, but let me remind you that Trump won the presidency in the Hebrew year 5777, and his first full day as president he was 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old. Only God can "craft" such a message.

Exodus 13:3 & Psalm 133: Deliverance & Unity

Exodus 13:3 says, "...REMEMBER THIS DAY in which you went out of Egypt, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE; for by strength of hand THE LORD BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THIS PLACE..." (emphasis mine). I believe this speaks directly into the day we live in and it coincides with the day Israel left Egypt. It is a historic day for the ages.

In a previous word, I have shared that we are in a rescue operation from Heaven similar to what Israel experienced, and this is yet another confirmation of that reality. The Lord is bringing us out of bondage from a previously hidden agenda of death that is being progressively exposed. This death agenda has been running many global matters but it is the strength of the Lord, Himself, that is delivering us from that. (Photo via Pixabay)

Psalm 133 is the unity chapter that begins with, "Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity!" (Psalm 133:1). It is no accident that Trump's State of the Union speech was filled with appeals toward unity. This is a huge theme for us this year, even as the Lord fully exposes the dark agendas that have been hiding in government circles. The call is still to be the UNITED States and our president is understanding that high priority more and more. It is also not coincidental that Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the Super Bowl was played, is the home of MLS soccer champions, the Atlanta United.

Let's stay encouraged at what God is doing and let's not flinch or blink as we see the enemy overreact. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Joni Ames: "Revival: Get Ready for the 

Adventure 

of a Lifetime!"

THE ELIJAH LIST Jun 4, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This article from Joni Ames is full of prophetic nuggets for everyone. And let me just say...we are ALL called to SPREAD THE GOSPEL.

As we approach the summer months, this is a very timely word for the Church Body as Joni shares this from her opening paragraph:

Recently the Ringling Bros. Circus announced that it will soon shut down. I got excited in my spirit because the Lord had showed me years ago that those tents would be used for revivals in the coming days. Many souls would come in and the revival would contain a restoration of healing like what happened with Oral Roberts and other great healing ministries of days gone by, but yet a new thing – a massive and great new revival. Signs, wonders, and miracles for a new generation that hasn't yet seen such things. I called several revivalist friends and told them to call and see how those tents may be obtained. We are about take part in the greatest adventure of our lifetime!

I will close and echo that...We are about take part in the greatest adventure of our lifetime! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"Revival: Get Ready for the Adventure of a Lifetime!"

Joni Ames, Rock Hill, SC

Recently the Ringling Bros. Circus announced that it will soon shut down. I got excited in my spirit because the Lord had showed me years ago that those tents would be used for revivals in the coming days. Many souls would come in and the revival would contain a restoration of healing like what happened with Oral Roberts and other great healing ministries of days gone by, but yet a new thing – a massive and great new revival. Signs, wonders, and miracles for a new generation that hasn't yet seen such things. I called several revivalist friends and told them to call and see how those tents may be obtained. We are about take part in the greatest adventure of our lifetime!

"May God revive (bring back to life) all the creativity that He put in you as He revives and brings back to life your heart, mind, and spirit. What an adventure you have ahead of you as that happens!"

The word revive means "to restore life, consciousness, or strength." It can also mean to "return something to its former state." The Church often cries out for revival, but what is really wanted? I believe what's wanted is for the Church to be revived and restored to holiness and to God as Father; to be revived and restored to the purpose, call and destiny that He called the Church to walk in – before time even began.

Restored to Our First Love

When you think back to the time when you were first saved, it often brings memories of excitement, vigor, joy, and great hope. Sometimes throughout the years, the "shine" of that time can begin to get dull. Years of hope deferred can make the heart sick. The value of attending church, being involved, and enjoying yourself in doing that can even become like drudgery.

What would restore to you that feeling of first love that you had back when you were originally saved? 

Can we have it (or even greater joy) now that we are walking in greater fullness as a Christian? Very often, just as in a natural relationship, expectations unfulfilled can cause you to lose heart.

Yet, there is a reality of what God has done in your life that goes beyond feelings. Being revived in one's inner man goes far beyond hype and laughter. As you mature, a stable "knowing" of God's goodness in your spirit takes over. There is a seriousness that comes into play as a more mature Christian that has a level-headed understanding of His love, grace, and mercy. 

It's understanding that life is about growing up and learning to "hold on" even when you don't feel like it. It's not about just enjoying the hype of having something new and "exciting" going on. It's about an eternal adventure yet ahead.

Reviving the "Basics"

Perhaps the greatest revival the world needs right now is a dose of true common sense, a good work ethic, the ability to "be only strong and very courageous" and press on even if they don't "feel like it." Maybe even a dose of good manners. The Word of God commands to be only strong and very courageous (see Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:9). It says that overcomers will inherit the Kingdom (see Revelation 21:7). (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

I've also witnessed what I call "a sloppy grace teaching" out there that tries to say that God understands people are human and what Jesus did on the Cross covers all sin for all time. So even if we sin again, it's covered, so go do it. In other words, what Jesus did bought us the grace to sin. However, the Word of God clearly denies that. It tells us that when we willfully continue to sin, we trample the Blood of Jesus (see Romans 7). Additionally with that type of attitude, a person can heal, prophesy, and cast out demons in Jesus' name, but still end up having Jesus Himself say, "...I never knew you. Away from Me you evildoers!" (Matthew 7:23)

All of that said, the revival we need might need to begin with a revival of mindsets, a revival of proper teaching of God's Word, and a revival of healthy mentality.

Spreading the Gospel Over All the Earth

Lately, there is so much time spent on cell phones and iPads. The good news is that the Bible is still the best-selling book on the planet! Did you know that? It is said the Bible is one of the popular phone apps college students are downloading as well. Praise God! Now let's teach them how to access what they need to know in it. As well as how to spread that Good News to others.

The computer age has made it such that the Great Commission allows each and every person the opportunity to spread the Gospel to all ends of the earth. Anyone who wants to can get online and begin to do a blog, newsletter, or website to spread the Word of God and start revival.

God said His Gospel will be spread to the entire earth before Jesus returns, and the internet is truly one of the "nets" that He is using to catch fish, bring revival and reel in the harvest.

You don't have to have a PhD, ordination, or anything else. Just know Jesus, and there you go! If God could use a little rundown storefront on Azusa Street, know that He can and will use you and your testimony and the internet to catch many fish.

Use Your Creative and Artistic Gifts

He will even use your artistic gifts. As you get out there and show others what God gives you, it will spur on other skilled artisans to come forth in the beauty of the skill He has placed within them as well. Post your songs, dances, paintings, drawings, photos of pottery, designs of clothing, hair styles, or whatever skilled artistry God has given to you. Use it, along with your testimony, to reach those of like-mind and skill. You are the one who can reach, with authority, the ones in the category that you also occupy.

"I believe what's wanted is for the Church to be revived and restored to holiness and to God as Father; to be revived and restored to the purpose, call and destiny that He called the Church to walk in – before time even began."

Don't get me wrong, we can all reach everyone, but there is nothing like hearing from or seeing someone who has either been through a "similar situation as you" or has a similar mindset or skill as you. Use it for the Lord! This is how we empower one another to overcome! The Bible says we overcome satan by the Blood of the Lamb and word of our testimonies (see Revelation 12:11).

So you see, even if you have felt different or strange, you were born to be "different" so that you could reach others who are also "different." It's part of your gifting. You were not born to hide. Like Dr. Seuss says, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" As you "stand out" you will do outstanding things in the Kingdom and bring in many.

May God revive (bring back to life) all the creativity that He put in you as He revives and brings back to life your heart, mind, and spirit. What an adventure you have ahead of you as that happens!

Make the Church Great Again

Much has been said about Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America great again." Well, the way to make America great again is to make the Church in America great again. Revive it. Restore it. Breathe life into it. Bring it back to being a living, breathing, full functioning organ again.

One way to make the Church in America great again is to bring the Holy Bible back into it instead of political correctness. Unashamedly preach and teach it and let people know what sin is and how to defend one's self against it, as well as how to get out of its snare if entrapped in it. Holiness isn't a religious-spirited thing. Holy is the first name of Holy Spirit. (Photo via Flickr)

If we want revival and restoration, we must have an understanding of what is profane and what is holy. There must be a restoration of the plumb-line of holiness so that we know what our proper boundary lines are. No blurry lines. Clear Blood of Jesus lines.

Jesus died to save and protect us from sin. He didn't die and get raised again to raise sin up as an example of who and what we should be or follow. May God truly revive and bring back to life a holy and spotless Church for a holy and spotless Bride to be joined to Her King.

Get ready! We are about to witness and be a part of the greatest adventure of our lifetime! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)
