From the desk of Steve Shultz:
We've posted a few words, even this week, about "running our race"...which is on the heart of God for this hour.
Yet, there is a preparation in running our race, which He individually walks us through and prepares us for. He trains and equips, strengthens and heals us...and you'll read about this and more in Faith Baczko's latest article in which she shares:
God has been working over the last season to perfect us in character, in wisdom and discernment; but most importantly He is perfecting us and completing us in LOVE! The Finisher is finishing the work of cleansing our hearts, and our history of iniquity, to release us to run a race of strength where we will not stumble or be shaken!
Amen to that...the preparation is so that we will not be shaken and we will finish! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"I Am the Finisher and I Will Finish What I Have Begun!"
Faith Marie Baczko, Oakville, Ontario, Canada
I heard the Lord say, "I am the Finisher and I will finish what I have begun! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last—the One who goes before to prepare your way in order that you may prepare Mine!"
God is the perfecter of our souls! The Holy Spirit, who does marvelous and magnificent work, has fashioned an awesome army of lovers of God in union with Him in mind and heart. He's done all of it because of His passion to see billions of precious souls come into the family of God.
| " Overcomers are now arising in the power of God, and the gates of Hades have no power over such ones!" |
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and FINISHER of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
A Season of Great Faith
I was in a prayer meeting and I wanted to share the Scripture about the woman who was sick with an infirmity, but I was confusing it with another Scripture about another woman. I asked the Lord where it was so I could check it and He said, "Luke 18". When I looked, I discovered this was the Scripture about the persistent widow. (The passage of the woman with the infirmity was Luke 13:11.)
The woman referenced in Luke 13 was sick for 18 years. Jesus spoke the words of freedom to her and said, "Woman you are loosed." The persistent widow in Luke 18 was crying out for justice day and night. Regarding this parable Jesus said, "Will God not avenge His own elect that cry out to Him?" He then confronts all with the question that when He comes, will He find faith? (Photo via Unsplash)
