From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I always enjoy reading Victoria Boyson's articles as she is a gifted and prolific writer.
In her latest article, Victoria shares the journey of her and her husband starting a new church, some of the attacks they've encountered, as well as a word to Kingdom Shepherds arising in this time.
As Jesus' disciples, we are all called to "feed His sheep" and Victoria encourages us here:
Truly, this will be the season of the shepherds and those who the Lord has prepared for this hour will be invaluable to His Kingdom. Shepherds will rise from all aspects within the Church, especially those who've had no known ministry at all: plumbers, truckers, housewives and Sunday School teachers, etc. The heart of a good shepherd will be to help the sheep in whatever way they need it.
I pray Victoria Boyson's article empowers you to be the Shepherd in your area of influence! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"The Lord's Kingdom Shepherds Are Arising!"
Victoria Boyson, Montgomery, TX
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28)
For years, the Lord has been speaking to my husband and me about starting a church here in Texas. It's something we've been actively planning for two years now. During that time, God has been molding and shaping His vision in our hearts of what His church would look like. I felt so strongly as I prayed for His people who are searching for Him and yearning for a connection to Him, that they needed a place to "come home to".
Prodigals Returning
I have been prophesying for years of a coming wave of revival that would usher in the return of His prodigal sons and daughters. Once home they would, in turn, become strategic in the next wave of revival to gather in the lost. They are what the Lord calls, "The Bridge" to the harvest because they are familiar with both worlds, and can be a connection between them. This has been on my heart for years and is growing stronger and stronger the closer we get to this time. I do not know how many tears I've shed for His lost prodigals but I know the Lord does, and He receives my tears and the tears of many other intercessors to reach these who are so very precious to the Father.
However, before the Lord brings in the wave of prodigals to the Church, He will and is raising up His Kingdom shepherds—entire congregations of shepherds. They are those with the heart to deliver the lost and a willingness to build a blessed foundation and home for those coming home! They're the determined, faithful mamas and papas, no matter the age. They are friends of the Father who will stand alongside those fresh-hearted prodigals and will determine to restore them to who they are called to be in CHRIST!
| "He will not be boxed, caged or tamed. He will roar over the nations and He will not stop until they feel His presence." |
I saw an awakening of SHEPHERDS in the Church from all areas of church ministry. It's those who have a heart to feed, shelter and protect as the Good Shepherd Himself. They will fight whatever enemy they encounter and will not be drawn away from the fight, but will overthrow the enemies of the Father with greater ease than in the past. I believe His prodigals' home-coming will set in place the first wave of the greatest awakening our world has ever experienced!
This awakening will look much different than others, yet similar at the same time. It will feel fresh and alive, with a resurgence of... (continue reading)
