From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

You have GOT to read the two articles we are posting today. One is by Fiorella Giordano (click here) and this one below by Wendy Alec. They literally could have written these articles together!

Wendy Alec is a prolific writer and one of our top-selling books has been Journal of the Unknown Prophet. Wendy had profound encounters with the Lord and He spoke to her of many things to come...I highly encourage you to get this book!

You will NOT be disappointed in this latest article from Wendy in which she shares from the Father's heart and speaks HOPE, JOY and PROMISES FULLFILLED into you!

Wendy shares this word from the Lord:

"The enemy saw that much ground was being taken, so in this past season his strategy became more violent against My champions. He knew that those who have loved and served Me so faithfully would never, never give up. So he strategically contended for every promise; to circumvent, delay and hijack My promises of goodness in the land of the living."

I know many have felt great loss over the years...but those days are over. Read this incredible word by Wendy Alec and find out how God is restoring His promises and how we can take back what the enemy has stolen! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Seer's Vision of Satan's Trophy Room – You Will Get Back What Was Stolen"
by Wendy Alec, London, UK

The Father Showed Me Three Incredible Things: Promises Fulfilled, Tears of Joy and Joy Restored.

A Vision of the Promises

The first vision was a huge, crystal dome. It was called hope. Inside the dome was a huge, incredible array of crystal, glittering lights—like fairy-lights. The dome was filled with a wondrous, almost fairytale, glow. It was filled with WONDER. Oh beloved reading this, it was the most beautiful dome I had ever seen. There was peace, joy, wonder and new life bursting inside that dome.

I said, "Father what are the fairy-lights?" He said, "Each glowing light is a PROMISE to My precious sons and daughters that have been delayed or hijacked by the enemy. These are My promises of My goodness, My kindness, and My OVERWHELMING faithfulness in the land of the living."

"Daddy, but why are they here?" I said.

"Because, My beloved child, in these past few years one of the major strategies of the enemy has been to contend so violently for My children's hope. To try to literally hijack and delay the fulfillment of My promises on earth; many of My children have become heartsick with so many of their dreams and hopes being deferred."

I said, "Oh Father, how do we get it back?"

"First, let Me show you something..." said the Father.

A Vision of Tears of Joy

I looked and saw an enormous glass vat. It reached to the ceiling and was filled with rainbows and a see-through liquid, like water. The Father spoke again: "This vat is filled with My children's tears. They are tears of joy."
"Oh Daddy!" I gasped, "They are the tears of joy that have been stolen and delayed because the promises have been so delayed in this past season."

The Father was so anguished and said, "The enemy saw that much ground was being taken, so in this past season his strategy became more violent against My champions. He knew that those who have loved and served Me so faithfully would never, never give up. So he strategically contended for every promise; to circumvent, delay and hijack My promises of goodness in the land of the living.

"Many, many—SO MANY—of My children were used to miracles manifesting in their lives. Yet, these same champions in the past few years have been crying out to Me saying, 'Father! I have stood. I have been faithful, but what used to so easily manifest—the miracles that would come overnight—there is just barrenness and continual contending and fighting in the spirit for what never seems to manifest.'"

The Father said, "Beloved. Beloved of My heart, this was a targeted strategy of the enemy. He could not keep the answers from you forever, but in this past season, in the spirit realm, the powers and principalities have been contending violently for every promise. For they knew that this would wear down My saints."

A Vision of Joy Restored

It was once again full of wonder, but each time I was drawn to it, a huge eruption of SHEER JOY would come from my heart: "Oh Father! He has stolen our joy!"

"That, My child, is the joy of My promises fulfilled on earth; My promises and My miracles; My kindness and My goodness in the land of the living. For the ultimate strategy of the enemy was to erode My children's strength."
"Because Your joy is our strength." I murmured. I sighed, "But Daddy, we're meant to have that anyhow just by being with You." Oh the Father is so wonderful. I could sense Him laughing at me. We had had certain conversations earlier in the day.

"Yes, My beloved Princess. That, you know is true." Oh, He was still laughing: "But as your Father—your Daddy—the Lover of your souls, I understand that you live on the earth and so many times you see through a glass darkly and hold on to Me by faith. So it is My utmost JOY to answer your cries for My promises and My miracles. Oh what joy it gives Me when I see your tears of joy and your wonder.

"For I Am goodness; I Am kindness; I Am compassion and I yearn to see My children thriving and joyous. I love to give My children good things. I watch them, even as you watched your own children open their presents and took SUCH JOY IN THEIR JOY. I am your Father and I take such joy in your joy."

"So Daddy, how do we get this back?"

He said, "Remember Daniel? When Gabriel called on Michael, there was a 21-day delay.

As My children release the hosts of Heaven in this season, you will all see a restitution of these three things I have shown you (Promises Fulfilled, Tears of Joy and Joy Restored). For it is time to DEMAND them back in the spirit realm. For I tell you that ENOUGH is ENOUGH. The time of transition is upon you, the last snares are being broken, the victory is assured, and miracles are about to break forth in the land of the living."

A New Day and a New Season!

"I told you I would break through for you so that others may have hope."

I said, "Daddy, You mean the three-year battle with my book rights?" (A personal testimony of mine.)

"Yes, beloved child. The battle was fierce. There were many days it seemed impossible, but they are back in your hands just as I promised they would be."

"Oh yes, Daddy. It was such a miracle."

"And you signed with Harper Collins."

"Oh yes, Daddy," I said, "The rights came back just in time. One day later and it would have been too late. Two incredible breakthroughs after three years..." I could feel the Father smile.

"And so now for My children: When this battle is over, miracles after miracles will break forth and the sounds of wonder and laughter and tears shed of joy will be My children's heritage!"

God says to you: "So pray beloved ones, pray. Release the hosts of Heaven to tear down these strongholds in the enemy's camps. For even as for Daniel, your answers are on their way! There will be joy, peace, hope renewed, wonder, promises fulfilled, delays finished and aborted situations resurrected!

"It's a new day, a new season with new strength, new vigor and new focus! For I Am the I Am; the Restorer of the breach and the Binder of the broken-hearted; your compassionate, loving King of all kings. I Am the Lover of your souls. Oh how I yearn for you, beloved. Your Abba, your King, longs for you."

Destroying the Lie That Plunges You Into Depression - R. LOREN SANDFORD CHARISMA MAGAZINE

This lie's cycle only brings you further and further into despair. (Pexels)

Destroying the Lie That Plunges You Into Depression

 3/28/2017 R. LOREN SANDFORD  CHARISMA MAGAZINE

By the time I reached adulthood, I had become convinced that God couldn't bless me because I had all the wrong feelings.

Because I suffered from depression and couldn't feel all those positive, joyful emotions no matter how hard I tried, and because I could not generate an emotion of expectation that God would do great things for me, I believed God couldn't favor me. Everything I heard all around me in renewal circles reinforced that sense. I was told repeatedly by many well-meaning people that my emotions were all wrong and that as long as I felt that way, hurting and depressed, I was expressing unbelief. If I had the wrong feelings, God's work in my life would be restricted. I would reap destruction.

To counter this, we were taught to confess this and confess that, as if our words could create the reality that our inward faith could not. At root, the question wasn't, "How can I trust the Father who loves me?", but rather, "How can I get God to move on my behalf?"—as if He really didn't want to and had to be coerced.

This was the dark place where I lived imprisoned for more than five decades, believing that because I couldn't seem to feel the way I was supposed to feel, God withheld blessing. It would be difficult to express how much energy I invested in trying to push all that hurt aside so I could keep it under control, function in life and do what I had to do.

Looking back, I realized my feelings had never had anything at all to do with God's ability or willingness to bless and prosper me. What counted was His love, not my emotional condition or any failure of mine.

I realized, even in the face of my failure, that my Father God had given me a wonderful wife. Together, we had produced three awesome children, all of whom serve the Lord today together with their spouses. We bought our first home because of a miracle of provision. I planted our first church in the panhandle of Idaho and pastored it for eleven years. These miracles of provision had nothing to do with what I felt or didn't feel.

God's love and favor would not be held hostage by my human condition. Through it all, I confessed all the wrong things, felt all the wrong things, feared all the wrong things, and lived day to day in clinical depression. There are no wrong feelings in faith, only wrong actions. God's love passes understanding and will not be held hostage by my emotional state or my limited, fleshly ability to believe.

Looking back on all this, I know beyond a doubt that faith can never be defined as a measurable quantity, so that if you have enough of it, then God has to move, and if you don't have enough of it, then He doesn't have to move—or won't.

Can you imagine the God who defines Himself as love saying, "Well, you need five pounds of faith for Me to move, but you have only four and a half, so I can't do anything for you"? The real effect of my lack of faith was only to plunge me unnecessarily into depression.

Faith lies in the act of obedience, in the position in which you place yourself in response to the call and command of God. Fear becomes unbelief and lack of faith only when acted upon. Depression constitutes unbelief only when you obey the urge to isolate from others, choose to abandon your calling in life, or both.

The quality of my life and destiny in the Lord through all those years of clinical depression stood because most of the time I determined to refuse to act on fear, depression and negative feelings. I chose instead to obey God no matter what I felt. Certainly I failed—and often— but God continued to bless me even when I stumbled.

Stop being imprisoned in a form of salvation by works in which you strive to generate a set of feelings you call "faith." Rather, choose to act in obedience, regardless of the condition of your heart, and to seek rest in a revelation of the true nature of the Father who loves you beyond your capacity to understand.

Striving will always bring the disappointment so many of us feel. Grace brings the revelation of who our wonderful Trinitarian God really is. Therein lies freedom and a depth of satisfaction that goes beyond words.

"The Year of Restoration: Recover, Uncover and Restore" - Victoria Boyson THE ELIJAH LIST

"The Year of Restoration: Recover, Uncover and Restore"

Victoria Boyson, Montgomery, TX  The Elijah List

Why God is Saying, "I Will Convince You of My Power and My Love for You!"

2016 has been and will continue to be a year when God shows off!

It will be a year He begins to wipe away the stain and strain of the trials and tribulations of the season you've just come through. He wants to make a deep impression on your heart and convince you of the power and care He is capable of.

So often when you come through a tough season of trials, you can tend to pick up fear and unbelief that you are not even aware of. You may enter a situation and the old feelings of doubt seem to pull at your faith, and your feelings toward the future become clouded and limited.

Our Father says, "This will be a season in which I will convince you of My power and My love for you!" 

He will wipe away the strain and make things easier. His hand on your life will be made very apparent, because He wants you to look to Him, turn to Him, and walk more closely with Him. He's building your faith – the faith that moves mountains.

Why? So you can move mountains!

The Year God Recovers, Uncovers, and Restores – for You!

This is not a year to fear; it is a year to TRUST Him and watch Him RECOVER, UNCOVER, and RESTORE. 

Things you had forgotten you'd lost will suddenly be recovered and returned to you. Things stolen will be returned. 

Ancestral promises that you didn't even know existed will begin to be fulfilled in your life. Not just for you, but to convince you that God is for you and with you – to restore your faith in Him.

God spoke this to me before 2016, and starting January 1st, it seemed every day something was restored to me. And, I want it ALL back!

Do you agree with me?

Do you want your peace back, your joy, your faith, love, and health ALL BACK?! Do you want your hopes and dreams ALL BACK?! Your finances? Property? Everything the devil stole from you, declare its restoration to you – ten-fold!

And in return, make sure you give the enemy a bit of what he's tried to throw at you. I know I want to hear him say, "I sure wish I hadn't messed with her."

The Father tells me we can trust completely that He is in control. No matter how things look, how shaky things can appear, no matter what things look like...understand that God is in it. God has assured me that He will not be content with business as usual. He wants a revolution.

God is Uncovering What Has Been Hidden, But Do Not Despair – He is In it to Win it!

Watch as He uncovers evil and brings it to the attention of the world.

He's uncovering things that have been hidden for some time. They've planned to undermine Him, and plan our destruction...BUT GOD! God has known about it all along, so do not despair, because HE IS THE ONE UNCOVERING IT.

He wants to start a revolution. It takes a lot to do that, so rejoice when it appears that the enemy has won and the Church has been abandoned. God loves us, and HE WILL NOT abandon us. Determine in your heart that no matter what you see, you will not fear, but you will stand with Him and TRUST in His plan for restoration to come to us.

God says, "I am in it! And when I am in it, I am in it to win it!"

No matter how things look, He will not stop until our enemy is completely uncovered and uprooted. He will not let things lay half done. He will complete the work He began in this world. He will shake it, and the enemy will not even see it coming.

The Father has baited our enemy. He's made it seem to them that He does not see what they are doing. They are convinced they will get away with what they're trying to do, but it's all a trap. He wants to uncover the good in men's hearts. He wants justice – full, complete, and reliable justice. And He wants vindication for the innocent. Justice is not complete without vindication, is it?

He is invading every area of life: Church, government, and our hearts. He desires that we see and learn that even the impossible is possible with Him. He says, "You are Mine, and I take care of My own."

He will uncover, recover, and restore – and it starts now. Anticipate the evidence of His hand on your life. Give Him your whole heart. Declare that He alone is your Lord, and you take orders only from Him.

Fear Nothing; Your Heritage Will be the Spoils of the Wars

Walk boldly in increased vision, and trust in Him. He is truly worthy of your trust.

You are bold, unstoppable, Kingdom warriors!

You will take territory for Him, and your heritage will be the spoils of the wars. You will climb mountains and destroy wickedness in high places, because your God is who He's said He is, and He can be trusted to work miracles through you!

Fear nothing – trust God!

This is only the beginning for you!
