Fearing no evil? – Love For His People newsletter, Steve Martin, Love For His People

March 27, 2020 Charlotte, North Carolina USA Greetings to Love For His People ministry friends and supporters. So how are you doing? Are you standing in faith, keeping your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith? Or are you shrinking back in fear and over concern for the future As many of our cities, states, nations are all but closed due to a near martial-law atmosphere, what has your posture been? Siding with those who have been really, really shaken and overtaken by all the hype. Trust me, I am not making light of what is true, but it has gotten a bit overdone if you consider all the other viruses that have come and gone, and life still went on as normal. Is that not right? When was the last time all things have been shut down out of fear that you or I would catch it? So what makes this one different? I truly believe the Lord is shaking the nations, especially the gods that have ruled in many hearts – sports, entertainment, financial – anything apart from His rule and reign in our lives. What have you been trusting in? Or who? We need to be ones who declare, in truth, that “as for me and my house we will serve the Lord” – in faith and not fear. (Joshua 24:15) Please read some encouraging words I have written. A few days ago I wrote: “What if?” Know before it comes. And today this one: “Fear No Evil" We do not need to be afraid. We can be lights in this world that we have been saved and called to be. Be strong and walk in faith, not fear, today. With our Lord Jesus Christ that is the only way we can.

Abraham Lincoln was born in North Carolina. True?

 

March 21, 2020 Steve Martin, Love For His People ministry, Charlotte, NC USA  

According to the Bostic Lincoln Center museum’s historical displays in the small town of Bostic, North Carolina, about 1.5 hrs. NW of Charlotte, Abraham Lincoln was born to Nancy Hanks right here in North Carolina. Not in Kentucky has many history books had taught us, with Tom Lincoln as his father.

No, Thomas Lincoln was not likely his father. It was probably Abraham Enloe, when young Nancy lived with the Enloes in Rutherford County as a “bound out” girl. And Abraham seems to have been born in 1804, rather than 1809. When Nancy married Tom, she had a young, black-haired boy at their side after the wedding ceremony.

True?

After visiting the Bostic Lincoln Center, we certainly would tend to agree with the historical facts presented, along with the video we saw of those testifying of ancestral books, documents, and friends of Nancy Hanks during her stay here in the area.

If you have time, want a nice road trip out of Charlotte, then go see for yourself. After all, as the Bible says, everything will come to the light in time.

Enjoy the photos I took March 21, 2020 with my iPhone. I had forgotten my Canon Powershot camera at home!

“This Shaking Is Not for Destruction, but for Transformation” – Arleen Westerhof, Netherlands Prophetic Council

“This Shaking Is Not for Destruction, but for Transformation” – Arleen Westerhof, Netherlands Prophetic Council

March 20, 2020 Arleen Westerhof, The Netherlands



From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

Dear Elijah List Readers,

It’s important to receive from our European prophets. Here is an important word by Arleen Westerhof.

I don’t normally put in a personal correspondence between other prophets and myself, but I felt it would give you a flavor of how we all communicate at times like this.

So here it is…from Prophet Arleen Westerhof:

Dear Steve and Derene, 

I hope you’re both doing well and are at peace in these tumultuous times. We’ve talked a few times at the Global Prophetic Consultation meeting in 2018 and at the ACPE meeting in Dallas last November. You’ve published several of my prophetic words in the past. Back then, I led the Netherlands Prophetic Council. Now I also co-lead the European Prophetic Council together with Dr. Sharon Stone.

I want to say “thanks” to you both for getting life-giving prophetic words out there when hope and perspective are so badly needed right now.

Here’s my contribution to the mix. It’s called: “This shaking is not for destruction, but for transformation.”

Abundant blessings to you both,

Dr. Arleen Westerhof,
Founder and Director, Netherlands Prophetic Council

“This Shaking Is Not for Destruction, but for Transformation” Arleen Westerhof, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Concerning the coronavirus, the Lord would say, “When I am lifted up I will draw all men unto Me” (John 12:32). This text refers to Jesus being lifted up on the Cross. As I waited on the Lord, however, I kept seeing the replica of a poisonous bronze “snake” being lifted up on a pole: “So the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people, and many were bitten and died. Then the people came to Moses and cried out, ‘We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take away the snakes.’ So Moses prayed for the people.

Then the Lord told him, ‘Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it.’ So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!” (Num. 21:6-9).

The Serpent and God’s Judgment on ItThe book of Genesis tells us that it was the serpent that was responsible for death, destruction, sickness and disease entering the world. The serpent lied and Adam and Eve chose to act independently of God: “‘You won’t die!’ the serpent replied to the woman. ‘God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil'” (Gen. 3:4-5).

This is the same spirit that Isaiah talks about: “How you are fallen from Heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to Heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.'” (Isa. 14:12-14).

Jesus’ attitude was completely different: “So Jesus said, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the Cross, then you will understand that I AM He. I do nothing on My own but say only what the Father taught Me. And the one who sent Me is with Me – He has not deserted Me. For I always do what pleases Him'” (John 8:28-29). In Numbers 21 God took the very thing that was the source of death and destruction, and by His power, transformed it into a source of life.

Much later, Jesus’ death on the Cross and resurrection became the ultimate source of life for us all.

God’s judgment on the snake in Genesis 3 was clear: “Then the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live. And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel'” (Gen. 3:14-15).

God is busy exposing the works of this serpent (death, destruction and destabilization) in our times.

What I hear God saying on both a macro and personal level is this:

1. It’s time to lift up our eyes and fix our gaze on Jesus, our Source of life (John 3:14-16). Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by fear.

2. “Corona” means crown. There is, however, only One who wears the crown and that is Jesus Christ: “I am the Lord; that is My name! I will not give My glory to anyone else, nor share My praise with carved idols” (Isa. 42:8).

3. Globalization is not God’s idea. God is the Creator of nations (Gen. 11). He is the One who established languages, ethnicities and geographical borders. It was never His intention for one nation to dominate others as China is doing today. We have to start to rethink our global supply chains.

4. As nations and as individuals, we need to start to treasure our unique identities and callings in Christ. We cannot afford to give them away, or sell them, in the name of financial gain. For example, according to Arthur Burke, the Netherlands is a “giver” nation. This means that the concepts of stewardship and caring for others are very important to those of us from this nation.

We are called to release life-giving generational blessings into family lines. We are called to produce life-giving systems through holiness and intimacy with God.

The United States is a “prophet/ruler” nation where concepts like freedom and helping others to walk in their callings are important. Superstates in which nations relinquish their national identities are not God’s idea.

Shaking

God is shaking things at this time. He is the One behind the shaking. This is as true for us as individuals as it is for our nations: “When God spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He makes another promise: ‘Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.’ This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain” (Heb. 12:26-27).

The Greek word for “removed” is “metathesis.” This means “transfer: from one place to another.” However, it also means “change.” This is important because this shaking is not meant for our destruction (even though it hurts) but for our transformation.

In this season in which God has pressed the pause button on our economies and our lives, it is time to allow Him to work deeply in us, to root out all of our fears, pain and busyness. As we do, He will change and prepare us for the major positive moves of God that await.*
