From the desk of Steve Shultz:
If you have been in times of waiting, either for a season or for years...you really need to grasp this fresh word by Darren Canning of Canada.
In this, he share about the waiting time, and how God's promises DO come to pass while we faithfully serve and grow in the process.
Darren shares this edifying word:
When God speaks, what He says is done in His mind. God has all of time in His hands. There is no wrestling within the mind of God with what is in the beginning and what is in the end. When He says that it will come to pass, it is like He is saying, "IT HAS COME TO PASS." His gaze just stretches a little further along than our own.
Amen to that... Enjoy this word by Darren! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"The 123 Season - The Promise Has to Come to Pass!"
Darren Canning, Ontario, Canada
Psalm 123
Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
It's a 123 season. Many times, I have seen this number combination on a clock, billboard or license plate. Every time I see it, there is an excitement as if something fresh was about to begin. For me, 123 is the essence of Get Ready, Get Set and Go. This word from the Lord to me comes with an expectation that something new is about to begin – like a new door is going to open or a new feeling in my life is about to emerge. It is a springtime number or a new beginnings number.

Many of us have been prophesying for a long time that there is a revival coming to the nations that will be unprecedented. The prophet Bob Jones died in the 1970s and had an encounter with Heaven before the Lord sent him back to his body. While in Heaven, the Lord told him that He was sending Bob back to the earth to prepare the generation God was going to use to bring in the one billion soul harvest.
Prophesying Hope in the Midst of Adversity
It seems that the Christian voice is the minority voice in North America, so to prophesy reformation and revival in the face of the Antichrist spirit of our time can be draining, especially since many of us have been doing so for more than 20 years. There are times when I stand and a spirit of prophecy comes upon me and I begin to declare, "Reformation is coming."
If I'm to be honest with you, sometimes I feel conflicted doing this. This prophecy (which I declare and form by faith over the dry bones of modern man), doesn't seem to be coming to pass. I feel like a motorcyclist who is using the kick-start but it doesn't seem to be working...yet.
But God has convinced me that He is real. He has convinced me that He can do anything He says that He is going to do. When God speaks, what He says WILL come to pass. Even though we may grow frustrated, we just have to continue to wait upon the Master's hand.
Psalm 123 (written above) is very interesting to me. It seems to be about the merging of anticipation and waiting. The servant may have to wait a long time, but the Master is the Master. The servant's function is to serve. He/she has no choice but to wait. That is their job and just because the servant is waiting doesn't mean the Master will move any more quickly. The Master moves when He wishes. We must be there when He wishes us to serve. (Photo via Unsplash)
It is in the waiting that we truly become servants. The servant must serve when the Master is present and when He isn't present. The promise is that because we are servants we will always have something precious to do for the King. However, the servant that grows weary and leaves his/her post, isn't a good servant because sometimes service is more about waiting than anything else.
We are not the masters of our own fate or the captain of our own destinies. This function in our lives belongs to the King. He is... (continue reading)
