Sandie Freed: "Shift Your Thinking and Advance the Kingdom!"

The Elijah List Jul 8, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I loved reading this word by Dr. Sandie Freed. In it, she shares the IMPORTANCE of shifting our mindsets into Kingdom thinking.

Church...we are about to see Heaven come to Earth and it will require a SHIFT in our thinking as Sandie shares:

Today, please shift into Kingdom reality. Develop an advancing attitude. Determine that you are not retreating but rather advancing! As we pursue this type of Kingdom mentality, know this for a fact: in Kingdom reality, disease cannot stay; poverty cannot stay; devastation cannot stay and shame cannot stay!

Let's do it! Let's shift our thinking so we can advance the Kingdom!

"Shift Your Thinking and Advance the Kingdom!"

Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX

Several days ago I heard the Lord say:

"My people are amid many different shifts. Some are shifting out from business into ministry. Some in ministry are shifting into marketplace ministry. Shifts are necessary during this season because I am imparting Kingdom mentality, which involves co-laboring with Me.

"I am not limited to the mindsets of My children. I am a God who is unlimited and I have thoughts beyond their thoughts. I have visions for them that they have not yet thought or dreamed of. To experience all that I have for them will require a shift out of their mindsets.

"The Kingdom dimension is not limited to the natural mind. Yet, the natural mind will abort the seeds being planted by the Holy Spirit concerning Kingdom reality. So, know that I am challenging mindsets even more in the coming days. What you thought was impossible must become potential.

"Look at the impossible as Kingdom potential and then expect it to become Kingdom reality. I am challenging My children to let faith arise! Don't focus on what you see in the natural; lean not to your own understanding. I am removing the veil from the eyes of My people and empowering them to see realms of the supernatural.

"Will we, today, remain stuck in an old pattern of thinking, or an old pattern of religious performance?"

"They will overthrow the demonic structures of unbelief and rely on My grace to empower them to experience breakthroughs and demonstrate many miracles, signs and wonders. A new anointing for courage and boldness is being imparted to those who will cast off all restraints; as they trust Me and allow Me to lead them as they commit to co-laboring with Me in this new season."

Defining "Mindsets"

I began pondering this word for several days. I kept thinking about mindsets. In fact, I just plain got stuck on that word...mindsets. I knew that God was giving strategy for breakthrough so I thought even more. What exactly is a mindset?

It's more than setting our mind on something – it's about something being set into our minds. I know...sounds confusing, right? Let me see if I can break this down a bit. Why do I feel a need to do that? Because we need to understand how hazardous it can be to have a wrong or ungodly mindset. That is, when it comes to understanding God and His ways.

A mindset can be both good and bad. If we set our minds on success, we are therefore choosing to focus on whatever is needed to become successful. If I set my mind on eating healthier, I can be tenacious and refuse sweets and unhealthy snacks. But, if I were taught incorrectly as a child and had a mindset that "all food is okay; just eat everything in moderation" then we can conclude that the mindset was unhealthy, right? So, then that wrong belief would have been set into my mind at a young age. If that unhealthy mindset remained, I would eventually become unhealthy because of eating junk food all my life.

Now let's boil this down to where I really intend to take you: to talk about religious mindsets. Dear one, let me be blunt: religious mindsets can hinder your walk with the Lord and cause unbelief and block the flow of the supernatural in your life. (Photo via Flickr)

I have realized that Jesus came with an announcement that was completely unexpected. The Jews had a mindset that He would appear with an incredible military force and end the abuse they suffered from Rome. Their mindset involved an established "natural" form of government. If you think about it, Israel had completely lost sight of the power of the supernatural.

The supernatural realm was not what they desired to experience; they desired to focus on a "quick fix" for their pain in the natural realm. They could not embrace the fact that if they solved the problem in the supernatural realm that it would take care of their problems in the natural. As a result of their mindset, they missed their hour of visitation. Just think of all that would have been accomplished if they had received Jesus when He came as their Messiah!

The Powerful Message of Repentance

The mindset of the Jews hindered them from understanding the message of repentance. Matthew 4:17 presented the people with an announcement, "...Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Jesus was introducing a whole new revelation concerning repentance.

Jesus came and made a proclamation concerning repentance. He pointed out that the manifestation of the Kingdom of God hinges on the message of repentance. He was and is talking about repentance as in turning from sin, but Jesus was also dealing with their mindsets. He was, in essence, saying:

"Hey guys, it's important that you begin to change the way you think. Why? Because I brought My world with Me! Yes, I have brought My Kingdom with Me. And, I want you to change your perspective on reality. If you choose to see things from My perspective, you can experience and live from the reality of My world."

In other words, Jesus was challenging them to bring Heaven to Earth. And that is the way that Jesus taught the disciples to pray. Praying Heaven to Earth, right?

Repentance is Connected to Experiencing Kingdom Reality!

Unfortunately, many of us today have had a mindset concerning the word repentance. Most Christians have repented enough to get forgiven, but not enough to see the Kingdom. Ouch! I was there about fifteen years ago.

I was so busy repenting from my "ugliness" (ugly heart attitudes, ugly actions, ugly sins, etc.) that I could never see that I was God's daughter, a child of the King, and that I had been given power and authority to rule and reign!When Jesus taught on the Kingdom, He presented the message with a powerful mandate. In Matthew 10:7-9, we read how Jesus empowered His disciples with the Kingdom Mandate:

"'The Kingdom of Heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."(Matt. 10:7-9 NIV)

"Religious mindsets can hinder your walk with the Lord and cause unbelief and block the flow of the supernatural in your life."

Yes! They received power and now they had to give it away! We need to remember this important lesson: you only get to keep what you give away! However, how many of us have the mindset that we must hold on to everything?

It's clear that the Kingdom message is opposite of that mindset. When I understood the fact that we are not to build our own kingdoms, but rather His Kingdom, it changed my perspective – it changed my life! I have learned that godly multiplication only occurs when we are consistently giving out. The mindset that we must hold onto what we have will rob potential Kingdom seed from being sown. Only true multiplication can come from sacrifice of giving in all areas of life.

A Wake-Up Call!

My heart is to not be harsh but to deliver a wake up call. We are not called to be a sleeping Church. We can no longer remain lukewarm concerning co-laboring with Him and promoting the Kingdom of God. Many Believers have a mindset that we are simply holding on until Jesus comes. No! We are not on the defense, we are on the offense. Get a mindset today that we are advancing! We are moving forward as a mighty army taking ground for Kingdom advancement!

Today, please shift into Kingdom reality. Develop an advancing attitude. Determine that you are not retreating but rather advancing! As we pursue this type of Kingdom mentality, know this for a fact: in Kingdom reality, disease cannot stay; poverty cannot stay; devastation cannot stay and shame cannot stay!

Remain determined that you are contending for this now! Some of you reading this may be struggling and need a divine healing. Some may have the mindset that it's impossible to be sick and to pray for others to be healed. To believe this way is truly a mindset that will hinder the supernatural flow in your life. (Photo via Unsplash)

Let me just say that I have realized that is possible for me to walk in the gift of healing others, but still have disease in my own body. God will use my faith and my determination to see a realm of the supernatural if I will just step out and be His conduit. Remember, we are contending now for Heaven to come to earth! His will and not ours.

Co-Laboring Effectively

To co-labor effectively with God, there must be a complete dependence on His grace. This is what the Jews couldn't get. They only understood serving God under the Law. It was a mindset that involved rules, laws and religious performance. What they couldn't grasp was the understanding that true repentance required complete dependence.

They just couldn't change the way they thought. Will we, today, remain stuck in an old pattern of thinking, or an old pattern of religious performance?There are unlimited possibilities available for us to grasp and experience. Let's cast off all unbelief, all fear and fear of failure and begin to believe!

If you struggle with limitations and mindsets that limit you in your faith walk, I want to recommend two of my latest books, Letting Go of Your Limitations: Experiencing God's Transforming Power and Faith After Failure: Reconnecting with Destiny.

Last night I had a dream and the Lord spoke very clearly and highlighted the word "FORTIFYING."

 

Fortifying definition (and some synonyms): strengthen (a place) with defensive works so as to protect it against attack, strengthen, secure, protect, invigorate, strengthen, energize, enliven, liven up, animate, vitalize, rejuvenate, restore, revive, refresh. (Google.com)

 

The Lord showed me specifically how He is fortifying His people and what they carry, from the inside out.

 

Many of you have been knocked around, tossed to and fro by attack and opposition that has come against you lately. There has been a strategic assignment of confusion sent against you to hinder your vision, and your clarity, especially in hearing and discerning what the Lord is saying. I declare over you today that it breaks in Jesus name.

 

The Lord is fortifying you! He is using many things to fortify you from the inside out right now. His goodness, love and extravagant kindness is fortifying you. He is dealing with areas of the heart that have left you open to attack, mindsets that have not be renewed by His truth that have left you shaky and lacking strength, confidence and hope, He is healing you and bringing a new strength to you by the empowerment of His Spirit.

 

Coming Out with Increase

 

He is surrounding you as a wall of fire and His Glory will be in your midst. (Zechariah 2:5) He is fortifying your heart, your steps, and your roots in Him. This fortifying work of His Spirit will leave you stronger than ever. Moving into a position of thriving, not just surviving. He is refreshing, revitalizing and renewing you. He is restoring to you and restoring your steps in this fortification in any areas you have become shaky because of this onslaught.

 

You are coming out of this with an increase being added to what you carry.

 

He is with you, He is in your midst. Many of these battles have been over your next step of destiny. He is fortifying your anointing and your identity in Him. He is fortifying your heart and your steps, you are literally crossing over into a whole new realm of intimacy with Him, trust in who He says He is, the revelation of His goodness and kindness, a new level of strength in Him and solidity in His truth and what He speaks. You are moving into a new realm of favor and increase. This onslaught has tried to knock your steps out of place, but He is fortifying you and your steps, and in this fortification, you are being catapulted into a greater realm of your destiny.

 

He is protecting you and fortifying you through the fire, and you're coming out strong against opposition and attack to move into the divine surprises of destiny He has for you and birthed as the overcoming warrior that you are!

There is Great Breakthrough Upon the Writers by Lana Vawser Identity Network

There is Great Breakthrough Upon the Writers by Lana Vawser 

May 12, 2017 Identity Network

 

There is major breakthrough upon the writers right now. Those of you who are writing manuscripts, the Lord is releasing winds of acceleration upon you and these manuscripts are going to be birthed faster than you could ever have imagined. 

I had a vision and I watched as the Lord released these winds of acceleration and His angelic hosts to minister to you, and cause these manuscripts to come forth faster than you could imagine. Anything that has been attempting to block this manuscript, any warfare, is falling to the wayside as the winds of acceleration fall upon you and the Lord continues to breathe upon His message in your manuscript. 

There is a greater ease that you will find as the anointing upon you to write is significantly increasing. There is a breakthrough anointing over you as you write to move past the hindrances and move into the final stages of birthing.

 

The Lord Showed Me the Destiny Room of Heaven Again

 

Yesterday, I released a word on the Destiny Room of heaven. As I pondered this word for the writers the Lord showed me the destiny room in heaven again. He showed me the encounters that are going to open up for the writers as He opens up and reveals the destiny room and for some in new ways. 

In a vision I saw the Lord taking many into this destiny room through visions, visitations and prophetic dreams and as He led them in, I saw big screens all around the walls of the room. As the writers went in one by one, He pressed play on a remote and a "trailer" began to play. It was a trailer for their manuscript, but this trailer was not how THEY saw their book, it was how HE saw their book. It showed His excitement, 

His vision that was so beautifully crafted and displayed within these manuscripts. It also showed what HE was going to do THROUGH the manuscripts.

 

I watched as the writers wept and wept, being shown a "glimpse" of His heart contained in their manuscript and the people that were going to be saved, healed, set free, delivered, encouraged and brought to life through their writings. I watched as the writers fell at His feet weeping and out of their mouth came the words "I praise you Jesus! I praise you! It's SO MUCH BIGGER than I imagined! It's SO MUCH BIGGER than I ever dreamed."

 

The Lord bent down and grabbed their hands and with tear filled eyes, full of joy, full of love, His face beaming with such delight and His eyes shouting how proud He was of them, He spoke: "THANK YOU for pressing through, THANK YOU for continuing to steward the message that I have given you and lean into Me to write all I asked you to. Through the fire, through the storm, through the darkness, you did not give up. 

You continued to remain faithful to the assignment I gave you in this writing. I am breathing My spirit upon this manuscript and many shall come to life, come to know Me, be set free, healed and delivered by My love and My Spirit. I am going to do MORE through this manuscript than you could ever imagine. Great joy shall fill your heart as you see what I am about to do. You will see the process has been all worth it."

 

This is Your Time

 

I then saw manuscripts laid out on tables in this room of destiny. They were perfectly placed in frames, and I noticed the words written all along the frames. The words were purity, humility, surrender, integrity. As I looked at them instantly the atmosphere was filled with the sense that these books were framed by the purity, humility, surrender and integrity of the writers. These manuscripts were written by writers who have kept the, "main thing, the main thing." They have stayed true to the message He gave them, and their eyes have been upon Him and such deep surrender and reliance on Him, worshiping Him all the way through the process.

 

I watched as Jesus walked along these tables and He had a scepter in His hand. He placed the tip of the scepter upon each manuscript and it came ALIVE with favor. As I looked at each manuscript I saw a quick glimpse of networks, doors and connections of favor that the Lord had drawn up with His hand.

 

He turned to each of the writers and He spoke, "Be at rest, be at peace with this manuscript. I have already decreed the exact strategic places, networks, doors that need to be opened and hands these manuscripts need to fall into. I have taken care of it all. Rest, trust Me. I am going to get My messages out far and wide. Great unprecedented, radical favor is being decreed over these manuscripts. Don't try and strive and make anything happen. What I am going to do with these manuscripts will leave you in awe of what I can do!"

 

"The process of these assignments I have given you with these manuscripts has increased your anointing to write. You will see an increase in revelation, clarity and insight upon you to hear Me and for further writing assignments. You have transitioned to a whole new level. 

Multiple births are upon many of you and the supernatural ease and anointing I am releasing will see you write even more books than you imagined. It may not make sense in the natural and for many of you look impossible, but through the empowerment of My Spirit, you will do what you thought you could not do. Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit will be your testimony!"

 

"Writers, this is your time!"

Prophecy: God Is Ushering His People Into a Season of Supernatural Expansion - RYAN LESTRANGE CHARISMA MAGAZINE

Prophecy: God Is Ushering His People Into a Season of Supernatural Expansion

2/28/2017 RYAN LESTRANGE  charisma magazine

God's glory makes anything possible. (Pixabay/reidy68)

I was awakened with visions of houses, lands, inheritances, businesses and expansion in my spirit. There is economic increase and influence in the atmosphere of glory for God's people. I am declaring favor, dominion and increase. This is your season to grow, to get bigger, to move beyond. The glory brings multiplication. The glory brings the gold. The glory breaks the back of debt. Step out of limited and into unlimited. Step out of the realm of your knowledge, qualifications & ability and step into heaven's ability.

Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Look, the place where we are living with you is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan and take from there one beam per man, and let us make for ourselves a place to live there."

And Elisha said, "Go."

Then one of them said, "Please come with your servants."

And he said, "I will come." So he went with them.

And they came to the Jordan and cut down trees. But as one was cutting down a tree, the axe head fell into the water. He cried, "Ah, master! It was borrowed."

Then the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" When he showed him the place, he cut off a stick, and threw it in there, and he made the iron float. So Elisha said, "Pick it up." And he reached out his hand and took it (2 Kin. 6:1-7).

Prophetic words, visions and insight often bring expansion. Many times, we are existing in a space that is simply too small, and God is showing us a picture of the possibilities. We must be willing to let go of old mindsets, traditions and ways of thinking. When God leads us into expansion, we are often handicapped by the way that we have been thinking. Our limited understanding paralyzes our progress. We move in the direction of our inner belief system. This is why renewing the mind is so critical. Our thinking gets us stuck. God is providing glimpses of our future, but our mind is kicking, screaming and clawing to stay in the comfort zone. The expansion exists out there in the deep waters, not at the shore! Quit sunbathing and start swimming.

The sons of the prophets realized that God had placed something bigger in them, bigger than their present surroundings. We must have prophetic wisdom and insight to stretch ourselves and move further. Leading teams, ministries, businesses and families requires stretching in order to grow. Many times, what has worked to get you to the place where you are will no longer work to move beyond and grow! You may have to add to your team, make adjustments or even change the way that you function all together. These men came to the stunning realization that they were bigger than the space they were in. Therefore, they needed to launch out and occupy new territory.

They had to begin cutting. Growth demands some work. They had to get the ax and sweat a little. Let's stop and selah this for a moment. They were sons of prophets; they were seers; they lived in the realm of revelation. They were not necessarily carpenters. Their prophetic word sent them to work. They had to get up and get moving. They had to invest in their expansion. Far too many people are expecting someone else to do all the work. The harsh reality is that prophetic words often require your human partnership. Many are still stuck in a small space in spite of their prophetic destiny simply because they refuse to chop the wood. They are sitting around reading all the revelations, but they will not work. Inactivity leads to stagnation. There is another prophetic picture here as well; they had to cut some things down and build with them. In order to advance, you must be willing to chop down what is standing in your way and build. Don't let resistance stop you. Don't let the critics destroy you. Let them motivate you to build. Cut out the clutter, chop down the confusion, get rid of the distraction. Hit the block button, quit listening and start building.

As they built, they lost a borrowed ax. It fell into the water and sank. This reminds me of the Shunamite women. She finally has a baby and then the child dies. There is always opposition in the building: Things happen, people quit, emotions get attacked. Life happens, demons show up and dreams get attacked. There is no attack where there is no progress. The enemy is quite happy to allow you to sit and twiddle your thumbs, but when you start churning up still waters and breaking the ground, he gets angry! He will throw all types of attacks at you. There are attacks from within (your own mind and emotions) and there are attacks from without (people and circumstances). It is vital that you recognize the powers of hell and break them. Do not bow to attacks or you will forfeit the progress that you are making. God is trying to enlarge you. He is trying to bring you forth and expand the space around you to match the destiny within you.

There is supernatural power to recover. The prophets worked a miracle in the midst of the building. As you begin to partner with heaven's decree over your life and the inner tugging of expansion, there is divine ability, angelic back up and miracle-working power to assist you. Do not settle for the natural report. Tap the realm of power by walking in the gift of faith. Faith accesses heaven's supply. God made an ax-head float because of the tenacity of these radical prophets. Let's fully comprehend this miracle; the molecular structure changed! This is no big deal to God. He can and does override natural law with spiritual law. Debts are cancelled, money comes, body parts are provided, tumors disappear, anything can and will happen in the realm of glory. Glory subdues the natural realm and manifests the heavenly realm. Glory cancels the evil report and manifests the Lord's report.

This ax-head would have cost them a lot of money. That is why they mentioned it was borrowed. God had a money miracle for them! When you begin to press into expansion, there is a pipeline of provision. Do not allow the spirit of fear or lack to override your expansion. There are resources available to you beyond what you have experienced up until this point.

I decree supernatural expansion over you, over your finances, over your family and over your assignment. You are growing on the inside, and you are being brought into an expanded place. You are subduing the natural realm with the glory realm. You are not limited but you are expanding, enlarging and increasing in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Amanda Wells: "It's Time to Rise and Build!" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Amanda Wells: "It's Time to Rise and Build!"

THE ELIJAH LIST  Jan 22, 2016

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Some awesome prophetic words are coming out of Australia...as God is highlighting prophetic voices from the land down under. I had the privilege of visiting Australia last fall and got to meet with some of these prophetic voices and build ministry relations with them.

AND...here is another awesome word from Amanda Wells of Brisbane, Australia. She charges us with a word for this year: "Rise and Build!"

During the building process...God also restores as Amanda shares here:

This is the year where total and complete restoration will be seen: a restoration where the enemy has stolen. Those who have had land stolen or lost, for whatever reason, God is declaring over you,"Restoration." Vineyards and oliveyards, which speaks of businesses, houses, family members away from the Lord, prodigals, churches, and where money has been stolen, lost, etc., get ready, it is being restored!

Get excited about the restoration coming your way and the building you get to do...unto the Lord!

"It's Time to Rise and Build!"

Amanda Wells, Brisbane, Australia

Just recently, I had a dream in which I heard the audible voice of the Lord say,"It's time to RISE and BUILD." As soon as I woke, I had the first part of Nehemiah 3, verse 1 at the front of my mind, and sensed that not only was this my personal word for the year but a word for the whole Body of Christ also.

"Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it." Nehemiah 3:1

God is Restoring

I believe in 2016 we have entered a time that is unique for our generation and there is a favor upon us in this year to build as never before. When we look at this Scripture in Hebrew, it is exciting and I believe a picture of what God is doing. The word Eliashib in Hebrew means, "God restores!"

It is a picture of restoration back to its original condition, BUT I believe God is restoring not just back to the condition you knew your circumstances were before, BUT the condition and state that God intended them to be in eternity past! Restoration means to return back, to reverse and to answer the cry!

In Nehemiah 5, verse 11 it says, "Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil."

This is the year where total and complete restoration will be seen: a restoration where the enemy has stolen. 

Those who have had land stolen or lost, for whatever reason, God is declaring over you, "Restoration."

Vineyards and olive yards, which speaks of businesses, houses, family members away from the Lord, prodigals, churches, and where money has been stolen, lost, etc., get ready, it is being restored! (Photo via Pixabay)

The corn which speaks of your increase (from the prime root Hebrew word dagah), the wine (comes from the prime root Hebrew word yarash), which means inheritances, and poverty, and the oil...your anointing; yes, the Divine outpouring of the supernatural and creative miracles is here this year!

Get ready for a full and complete restoration of every area! Why does it say the" one hundredth" part in the above verse? The Hebrew letter one hundred means the completion of all living matter!

Gates and Doors Are Opening

It's time to align our thoughts and emotions to who we are in Him. As our identity is aligned and the words of our mouth line up, we are going to see in 2016 the creative power of God change situations, families, cities and nations!

The Scripture in Nehemiah 3 goes onto to say that they built the sheep gate. Deleth in Hebrew means to establish and rebuild the gate, and speaks of the doors and portals of Heaven, to give entrance to Heaven; and sheep in Hebrew is multitude.

Get ready! This is a year where supernatural encounters, dreams and visions are going to increase because gates, doors and portals have opened, and Heaven is going to come face-to-face with earth. As Heaven starts to invade earth through these gates we are going to see the multitudes come.

2016 is a season of soul winning and prodigals coming home, and the backslidden are coming this year. What was started in 2015 is going to increase in 2016. Some who lost people from their churches last year and felt they became small and inhibited, get ready. Start to speak the vision again, give breath to it, say it loud, declare it, and start to physically build it because this is the year of your open door of increase! 

The enemy you have been fighting is about to be defeated; lift up your voice, and rejoice in your victory!

For those who sowed last year and have not seen the increase, it's time to declare the door of blessing open. Genesis 26:12, "Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him."You are about to reap and it will be 100-fold – the completion and all that is due!

There is an acceleration coming in 2016 with gifts and callings in ministry and businesses, and many will see promotions. This year is the year to create, innovate and start building the desire that God has laid on your heart. It's time to be positioned.

As the portal and doors have opened, there will be many angelic appearances and awakenings among the children and youth. These awakenings will tear down strongholds of atheism and false religions, as the young enter into encounters that cannot be denied.

A Generation of Fearless Warriors

As I started to pray over this word, I again heard the sound of the piper (bagpipes) playing, "Scotland the Brave," and God showed me a generation of fearless warriors arising, hearts ablaze, full of passion and His love, not just in Scotland only but they are rising up all over the world.

It's time for us to stand and declare our breakthrough, the doors are opened, it's time to rise, and it's time to build! 

Job 22:28, "You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways."

Your light or owr (Hebrew), light of life, light of prosperity, light of instruction, light of face, of fire and breakthrough – it will shine (derek in Hebrew) in your character, your way, and your life!
