From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I highly, highly revere Bishop Bill Hamon and his ministry of CI (Christian International). For those who don't know, I was first trained in "the prophetic" at CI...and the rest is history and my destiny unfolded.
Bishop Bill Hamon is not only the father of our current day prophetic movement, his knowledge of the Word of Lord is very deep...I'd consider him a scholar when it comes to Biblical teaching as well!
In Bishop Hamon's word for 2017, you are going to get an in-depth teaching at best...of what is ahead for the year(s) to come. It is in outline form...so it will be like you, the student, taking notes from the teacher, so to speak. It's very key, detailed and right to the point. I encourage you to take time and study this out for yourself as you could spend hours just reading and searching this revelation out.
Bishop Hamon shares this key word for 2017:
The word I am sharing is from Christ's letter to the Philadelphia Church, about us being granted an "Open Door" that no man or demon can shut. It is directed mainly to those who have ears to hear what Christ is saying to His Church, who are walking in all presently restored truth, and have volunteered to be a warrior in God's newly activated, offensive and powerful army called, "God's World War III."
Jesus, as Commander-in-Chief of His army, is coming to put His mighty warrior anointing upon them to destroy the powers of darkness and demonstrate God's Kingdom throughout the earth.
Again...there are great things in our future...and we are being called to engage in the army of the Lord! Even now...you are being called! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"Open Doors, Opportunities & Advancement Through God's World War III Weapons"
Bishop Bill Hamon, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Word of the Lord for 2017
I started giving the "Word of the Lord for the year" in 1988. It was originally intended for Christian International Ministers. However, in the late 1990s, Cindy Jacobs and I, and several others, started the International Round Table of Prophets. After that we started giving a more corporate word.
The word I am sharing is from Christ's letter to the Philadelphia Church, about us being granted an "Open Door" that no man or demon can shut. It is directed mainly to those who have ears to hear what Christ is saying to His Church, who are walking in all presently restored truth, and have volunteered to be a warrior in God's newly activated, offensive and powerful army called, "God's World War III."
Psalm 110:3 says, "Your people will be volunteers in the day of Your power." Or the NIV says, "Your troops will be willing on your day of battle."
Right now, God is searching for soldiers of the Cross who are willing to volunteer for God's WWIII offensive army. Jesus is looking for those who have level-four heart soil (Mt. 13:23), which have been purged from all weed-seed attitudes. They are righteous and fearless, for they have attained to level three of the overcomers—"They love not their lives unto death" (Rev. 12:11). God is going to give them His mighty strength (2 Chron. 16:9).
Jesus, as Commander-in-Chief of His army, is coming to put His mighty warrior anointing upon them to destroy the powers of darkness and demonstrate God's Kingdom throughout the earth.
Revelation 3:7-13:
Letter to Philadelphia Church
• Open Doors (see verse 7): The Lord is saying, "I who am Holy and True, am also He who shuts and no one opens, and opens and no one shuts. I know your works, SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR! And NO One can shut it!"
In 2017, we have an Open Door: Opportunities never had before. The only judgment in this letter is if we do not go through the Open Door set before us.
• Open Heaven (see Deut. 28:12): If we are diligently obeying the "Voice of the Lord" then we have the blessings (vs. 1-14) and not the curses (vs. 15-68). The voice of Lord includes Logos, Rhema and personal prophecy.
• Open Earth: In the USA, we have been given earthly, legal and natural opportunities to arise and shine as the Church.
• Verse 7 continued: "Who has the Key of David." The Key of David has three notches that unlock Christ's purposes and provisions: 1. Spirit of Revelation. 2.Worship. 3. Warfare.
• Revelation: David had tremendous amount of revelation as revealed in his Psalms. David never had many visions, dreams or angelic visitations, but he had prophetic revelation more than any other.
• Worship: Worship to God was a love and passion of David. He knew the power and purposes of
praise. He had the revelation that God inhabits our praise and is enthroned in power for us (Ps.22:3). (Pre-prayers of Jesus.)

• Warfare: David and Joshua are the two greatest Biblical warriors and generals in God's army. General Joshua fought with his army and conquered Canaan for Israel's inheritance and national home land. David fought with his army, extending Israel's inheritance to its full borders as God promised to Abraham (Gen.15:18). In 2017, we are to war against our enemies until we fulfill our personal prophecies and possess our full inheritance.
• Joshua Generation: God is raising up a Joshua generation with the Key of David to fulfill all of God's prophetic promises to Israel and His Beloved Church.
• War Angels: David learned how to co-labor with General Michael and his war angels in his warfare against his enemies (2 Sam.5:22-25). This is the day of God's power, and His chosen ones are volunteering to be warriors in God's WWIII.
Psalm 103:20-21 declares that God's angels excel in strength and heed the voice of the Lord and those Saints who speak for their Commander-In-Chief, Jesus Christ. David is the only man that the Bible declares that he was a man after God's own heart. We can be both God-loving worshipers and bold and fearless warriors.
• Verse 8: "You have kept My word, and have not denied My Name." This reveals that we have not forsaken any restored truth and have maintained a balance in the truths of God. For 30 years, we have not denied His name as Prophet and Apostle, but have boldly declared and demonstrated that Jesus is still ministering in His Church as Prophet and Apostle. We are now manifesting Jesus as the Mighty Warrior and the Lord of Hosts/Armies.
• Verse 9: God is separating the Sheep from the Goats. He is going to favor those He approves as His Sheep and make the goats acknowledge that we are God's true Sheep. God is going to start vindicating His own.
• Verse 10: This verse will be made a reality before the end of 2018. The world is going to be tested by the threat of a natural WWIII being activated with the potential of nuclear warfare. If we have persevered in Christ-like living and doing spiritual warfare for God's purposes, "He shall keep us from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell upon the earth."
• Verse 11: "Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown."Crown represents your calling and ministry in Christ. Regardless of the persecution by the worldly church and the ungodly, maintain your calling regardless of the cost. (Memorize Romans 8:18.)
• Verse 12: If we overcome, Jesus will make us a permanent fixture (pillar) in the Temple of His God. Jesus will write on us the name of His God and His new name. That means He will not allow us to miss out on any new thing that He shall do with His Church on the earth and in Heaven.

• Verse 13: We must have open spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in 2017.
Advancement Throughout History to Now
• 1st Reformation: 30AD-400AD: Church Birthed, established worldwide.
• 2nd Church Reformation: 1517-2007: Eight Major Restoration Movements.
• 3rd And Final Church Reformation: 2008: Rev. 11:15: "Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of God."
Advancement of Restoration Correlated With Israel's Journey: Egypt to Canaan:

• 1600 Evangelical Movement: Crossing Red Sea—Baptized.
• 1700 Holiness Movement: Banks of Red Sea, separated.
• 1800 Faith Healing Movement: Waters of Marah—People Healed.
• 1900 Pentecostal Movement: Water From Rock-Spirit Language.
• 1950 Charismatic Movement: Mt. Sinai—Body of Christ.
• 1988 Prophetic-Apostolic: Crossing Jordan—into Prophetic & Apostolic.
• 2007 Saints Movement: Preparation-Transition—7 Mountain Kingdom Influencers.
First Phase of Resurrection of the Dead Doctrine- Resurrection Life:
• 2016: Activation of the Army of the Lord into Offensive Warfare.
• 2020: First Phase of The Eternal Judgment Doctrine (Ps. 149:5-9).
• 2017: An Open Door with Opportunities for Promotion and Possessing.
• 2017 till His Kingdom is established: full ministry of God's World War III. We will engage in spiritual warfare with Prophetic Acts of Faith, with God's Weapon of Mass Destruction to powers of darkness, and satan's army of wicked spirits. The Shout of Faith is the Church's WMD.
