From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I've heard more and more reports of God's people really "going through it"...and I mean going through it! But remember the key word is "through" as you are not staying in this place of challenge and trial.
God is strengthening the saints and bringing us into breakthrough as Joe Joe Dawson shares in this edifying word:
Your breakthrough is coming. Be confident in the faithfulness of God so that when your breakthrough comes, you're not too tired to walk in it! Remember you don't get stronger in the good times but you grow the most during seasons of trials, tests and tribulation. Warfare seasons are meant to strengthen us so we can receive our breakthrough.
Please be encouraged by this word in whatever you are currently walking through...as you are being led into great increase and breakthrough! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Be Confident - Your Breakthrough is Coming!"
Joe Joe Dawson, Texarkana, Texas
Recently the Lord has been speaking to me about the Kingdom of God, breakthrough and increase. The Lord has been saying to me that Kingdom people are about to receive Kingdom increase that is designed for Kingdom breakthrough. The Lord is setting us up to be able to go get the harvest and bring them in to disciple them.
We are about to see pioneers and forerunners lead ministries that will bring in a harvest and then bring reformation to them. The Lord has been stirring my heart to preach and teach the exact same message Jesus taught which was the "Kingdom of God".
Luke 4:43 says, "But He said to them, 'I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.'"
It is time that we start preaching the same message Jesus and the apostles taught. They walked in great power and authority and brought breakthrough and increase everywhere they went. They preached the Kingdom of God for Kingdom purposes.
Kingdom Increase is Coming
Many people in this next season will receive an increase in their life spiritually, physically, financially, and emotionally. These increases are for Kingdom breakthrough and Kingdom purposes. Yes, God loves you and wants you healed and set free! But don't just think this increase in your life is for only you. Everything God is doing and will do is to advance His Kingdom in and through your life in this hour.
Jesus prayed in Matthew 6:10, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."
| "God brings His explosive power into us so that we can understand the authority that has been given to us." |
Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding for you and me! We must find out what Heaven is saying over our lives, ministries, businesses, churches, cities and nations. Now is the time for Kingdom increase! We must make sure we steward the increase properly.
Proverbs 4:25-27 says, "Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil."
In this upcoming season, we need to be laser focused on the things of the Lord. Do not allow circumstances or situations to get you off track. When breakthrough comes we must make sure we are ready to walk in the breakthrough and steward it well. Don't wear yourself out worrying.
Seasons of Trial and Testing Strengthen You
Your breakthrough is coming. Be confident in the faithfulness of God so that when your breakthrough comes, you're not too tired to walk in it! Remember you don't get stronger in the good times but you grow the most during seasons of trials, tests and tribulation. Warfare seasons are meant to strengthen us so we can receive our breakthrough.
Sometimes the breakthrough is simply the end of a process God was taking you through toward a certain destination! You must learn to endure and learn from the process. Don't sit around and cry or complain. You won't learn what God needs to teach you for your next level assignment. If you don't break, you will have your breakthrough! God will equip you in the hard times and these times will be full of pressure, but you will come out ready for your next season. Your breakthrough is at hand!
Be Connected to the Right People
Don't look at where you are, look at where you're going. Make sure you are connected to the right people in this season. Surround yourself with only those who will help you walk in the purposes and plans God has over your life.
Hebrews 6:12 says, "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised."
The hour we are in is a special time for the Body of Christ, we must make sure the people around us are spiritually strong. Grow close to the ones who have been through hard times and followed God all the way through until they got their breakthrough. Align yourself with people who stay in the battle until they inherit the promises and the purpose that God has designed for them!
He Will Show Himself Strong
2 Chronicles 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him..."
Whenever God finds someone who has made their relationship with Him the most important thing, He will show... (continue reading)
