From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I found this to be a fascinating read by my friend, James Goll.
He is always full of heavenly revelation for the hour we are in.
Many prophetic voices have said great revival and awakening is beginning...and God always wants to prepare our hearts for what He is doing.
James shares this NOW word:
Every circumstance is subject to change, and God invites man to co-labor with Him in the birthing of a new dawn, a new day and new beginnings—where prophetic destinies are unlocked and answers finally come tumbling forth! These seasons are often referred to as revivals, renewal, awakenings, and outpourings both for individuals and entire cities and nations.
Find out some great keys from James...how we can partner with God and watch Him move amongst us. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Pre-Conditions for Visitation
Are there preliminary conditions that must be met in order for the prophetic promises of God to be unlocked? Are there things that Believers can do to speed up the purposes of God? Are there clauses requiring man's response, or is everything sovereignly predetermined? These questions have been debated throughout Jewish and Church history, and have affected people's world-views, with resulting practical applications in almost every area of life.
How do the lost get saved? Is it Arminianism or Calvinism; free-will or divine election? Ideas have consequences. What we believe about these things will ultimately play out in our actions, for good or for bad.
So, what role do we play in revival and movements of the Holy Spirit? Can man move God's heart?
Lessons from the Pool at Bethesda
"Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, waiting for the moving of the waters; for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted. A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years." (John 5:2-5 NASB)
| "Prophetic prayer always precedes revival and God's latter day heavy rain." |
This passage describes how at appointed seasons, there was a supernatural activity of the Holy Spirit that shifted the atmosphere from the natural to the supernatural. In between these strategic seasons, there was a time of testing. This certainly seems to be true in our lives as well.
How we respond in times of waiting is critical. Will we get frustrated and move into doubt and unbelief? Will we lower the bar of our expectation in order to avoid disappointment? Will we push our prophetic promises all over into a pile labeled "the providential will of God?" Will we take on false responsibility, acting as though the outcome all depends on our performance? Or will we look through different eyes, and see the waiting as a divine invitation to... (continue reading)
