From the desk of Steve Shultz:
We are just days away from the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in which Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of the Church...and there is no doubt that we need another reformation in our current day.
Ben Lim is a young pastor who is full of great insight and wisdom. You will be greatly impacted in his article as he shares what is upon us:
This coming October 31, 2017, is the 500 year anniversary of the Great Reformation, which was led by Martin Luther... I'm believing that even as the reformation sparked the Protestant movement and a whole new age of the Christian faith, there's going to be even more than that in a coming reformation. There is coming a grand transfiguration... The Holy Spirit has been shaking the nations of the earth because He is setting up a new system and a new government. The Holy Spirit is setting up a new people, a new breed, who will move in a transformative spirit. The spirit of transfiguration is upon us, Church!
We are RIPE for a new move of God that truly is upon us...be greatly encouraged in Ben's word! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Martin Luther's Reformation and the Coming Transfiguration of the Church"

Shape-Shifters of the Glory
There is a transfiguration happening. What this means is that you are changing shape; you are a shape-shifter. Many times, throughout the Gospels, the people couldn't recognize the Messiah because He would consistently change shape. This is because the glory changes a person and their demeanor. The glory changes the nature and the character of a person.
You may think that someone was a certain way until they shifted into another way because of the nature of the glory—the glory of God only increases as we are going from glory to glory. Your old friends will no longer recognize you because of your noticeable change. Your old friends will no longer recognize you because the glory that you'll be manifesting.
"And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him." (Luke 24:15-16)
| "The Lord is about to release an eclipsing transfiguration. That is why there's been so many shakings. The things that will be shaken will be shaken and all that should remain, will remain." |
"When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus." (John 20:14)
"Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus." (John 21:4)
There is a new face that the Lord is wanting to give you. However, this new face comes by spending time with Him. This new face manifests from being with Him in the glory, and because of this there is a new face the Lord is giving to His Church. This face that has yet to be seen and known. He is giving you more than a mere Hollywood face-lift. The manifest glory of His face is about to shine upon you.
There is a resurrection glory that the Lord is wanting to release through you. It's time for your true you—your new you—to resurrect and to reflect God's manifest glory.
It's time for the Church to be transfigured. Not just transformed nor reformed, but transfigured into His divine glory.
Transfiguration Glory
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:1-2 NKJV)
We all know this very familiar passage. However, we must first change our ways of thinking in order for our being to fully transform. We must be transformed in our mind for our bodies to follow. In order for our actions to follow, our thoughts must first lead suit. In order for our lifestyles to change, our mindsets must first change.
It's not behaviors that we're trying to change but it's belief systems that we're modifying. And more than that, we're not just modifying mindsets but we are transforming the mind-molders of society. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
