Diane Lake, Missoula, MT

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

Steve ShultzDuring the past few months many people have said they've spent more time with their family than any other time. Families have drawn closer and formed new bonds with each other. That's the good news that has come out of all of this...much more time spent with loved ones.

And during this much needed family time, God is also causing mantles to fall upon your household. Do you believe your entire family can be anointed and mantled...together? It IS happening and God is doing it.

If you've been praying for your family to come together to be united and move as one...please be encouraged right now in this word from Diane Lake. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Family Mantles Are Falling on Your Household"

Diane Lake, Missoula, MT

Shift: "to change the place, position, or direction of: MOVE." (Merriam-Webster.com)

In several recent dreams of mine, the Lord has been showing me a shift has occurred. In the first dream I was part of a larger gathering with multiple leaders present. A certain man had taken center stage and been speaking for perhaps half an hour. At that point, from my seat towards the front, I stood up and took control of the meeting, saying, "I think the Lord wants us to shift the focus of this meeting towards families and towards prayer." Remarkably, almost seamlessly and with great smoothness, that's exactly what happened. People began to move in unity into highly anointed levels of corporate prayer—especially prayer for families.

But here's what's funny. I didn't actually remember the dream at that time and certainly hadn't caught its significance. So the Lord gave me another dream. In this one, my husband reminded me of the events that had happened in the earlier dream—how I'd taken control of the meeting and redirected its focus. He said, "Remember how the Lord spoke through you at that meeting and said, 'There's been a shift away from some sort of a one-person-showman-type thing, and a shift towards families and towards prayer?'"

Within the second dream, I began to remember the first and said, "Oh yeah, I remember now! I guess I did kind of redirect the meeting. It may have seemed bold but I just couldn't help myself—I sensed the Lord moving us strongly in that direction." My husband responded, "That's okay. If you hadn't spoken up like you did, I was about to do the same thing myself."

Several things stood out to me from these dreams. The first is the Lord's sense of humor—that He reminded me in a dream I'd had a dream! The second is that I don't think the dreams had anything to do with my husband or myself personally. From our years in ministry, one thing we've learned is it's best not to take ourselves too seriously, and my sense is we were simply representative of something much larger happening within the Body of Christ.

It is my belief the Lord is releasing a Body-wide awareness that will bring an emphasis on the restoration of families and increased corporate prayer. It will be the Holy Spirit Himself, not any one person or ministry, who orchestrates this change in direction or movement. (Photo via Pixabay)

Perhaps Jeremiah the prophet said it best (Jeremiah 31:33-34 NKJV; see also John 16:13):

"...I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them..."

Occupation and Family Mantles

The Lord's also been speaking to me about increase through a rebirth of family mantles. Again, through a series of dreams, He showed me faithful men and women who have been hard at work for the Kingdom and whose efforts have been largely unrecognized and under-appreciated. The setting for each of these dreams was within family structures.

For several weeks now, my attention has been drawn to Luke 19 and the parable of the minas. If you recall, the nobleman called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas, and said to them (v. 13 KJV), "Occupy till I come." This phrase may bring to mind the military usage of this word, as when an army controls a certain population, and while this has some merit, this is not the actual literal meaning here.

The Greek word for "occupy" in this verse (see Strong's Concordance) means: "do business; trading, exchanging (leveraging) one thing for another to make a legitimate gain; (figuratively) 'to bear much fruit,' i.e. the opposite of being fruitless because of refusing to make trades by 'playing it safe.'" In other words, we do not occupy the Kingdom by playing it safe; occupation involves both risk and effort, as we use the gifts and talents the Lord's given us to increase His Kingdom...
