From the desk of Steve Shultz:
We really enjoy reading Kathie Walters' testimonies and God-stories when she sends us her articles...and I know our readers do too! Kathie's ministry is all about showing us that the supernatural realm is for everyone in our everyday lives.
Her article today is about us walking by faith in what God has called us to do as she shares:
Everything we receive from God we receive by faith only, there is nothing we can do to earn it, so you have to make a decision that you can hear because Jesus said you could hear... All His provision is in His purpose. So let your faith work in hearing from God.
If you've noticed, we have posted words about faith, vision and provision going hand-in-hand.
Folks, it's a new season to step out in FAITH! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"When God Tells You To Do Something, Do It By Faith"
Kathie Walters, Macon, GA
Receive in Faith
I have so many emails from people who are confused about the "direction" God wants them to take. Not sure whether to move, or where to? Or what is next in their life? House hard to sell?
Well, let me tell you, you don't have to do trial and error. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice." We need to sit still and listen. But sit still in faith, believing YOU CAN HEAR. Everything we receive from God we receive by faith only, there is nothing we can do to earn it, so you have to make a decision that you can hear because Jesus said you could hear. And what He says, you have to get in your spirit, not just in your head.
The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of faith, and it needs to be the Holy Spirit who is operating, as His faith is supernatural. It's not the natural faith that moves mountains – it's the faith that God gave to us by His Spirit. He has already given it to you when you got born again and to every man and woman is given "the measure of faith."
One time, we were confused about what God had for us. We had many words given to us, but some of them caused even more confusion. It felt like I was pushing doors that just wouldn't open. Then I had a dream, and in the dream I was sitting down on the floor in the middle of a very dark room. I couldn't see anything at all, and for sure I couldn't see where the door was. But I waited in faith, believing God would show me. After a short while, a light shone on a door and it was so easy then. I just got up and walked to the door, opened it and went out.
The Word of the Lord Releases Faith
| "Let your faith work in hearing from God." |
If the Lord gives us a word, like when we left Orlando, it will release faith. We had a church in Orlando, and we were enjoying Orlando. We had been there about ten years, and as I was driving one day, the Lord said to me, "It's time to leave this place and wipe off the dust from your feet." I was shocked! By the way, "Wiping the dust from your feet" means that you put things right as much as you can with people you've had disagreements with.
I told David and we asked the Lord to confirm it from outside (someone that didn't know of the situation). I thought of a friend in England who I knew heard from God very clearly. I asked the Lord to get Harry Greenwood to call me. And I said, "Harry has to say the same thing to me as You."
A few days later, I remembered what I said and reminded the Lord that He needed to have Harry call me. About five minutes later the phone rang and I answered. It was Harry. "Harry Greenwood here, what's going on?"
"Harry," I said, "Where are you?"
"I don't know," he said, "some restaurant in Arizona."
Harry never called people, as he had a wife, a secretary and an assistant who always called for him.
"Well," I said (I didn't want to tell him anything of course), we're having a good time."
"It's time for you to leave that place and wipe off the dust from your feet, OK," Harry said. He prayed a prayer and put down the phone. He prayed for some divine connections. (Photo via deviantart)
When that word came, it released God's faith (not our natural faith). Now we had to move on.
"OK God," I said. "You will have to tell us how to sell the house."
