| November 22, 2017 "Bears, Lions and Giants in the Land will Be Your Nourishment"
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:  This is a "nourishing" word (pun intended) from Bill Yount for the upcoming year. Yes, challenges and shakings will continue...BUT at the same time—great VICTORIES will come as well.
You'll read about this and more as Bill shares here: I sense 2018 will be a year of "everything at once". All Hell will break loose and all of Heaven will break loose—but Heaven is greater than Hell... This will be a year when mighty men and mighty women will rise up because they've killed a bear, a lion or a giant, for these have come to make us strong. God says, "They will be your nourishment, your bread; your sustenance." That is both a sobering and an exciting word at the same time...it's both/and. God always, always prepares us for the days ahead...and you will be highly encouraged even in challenging times of just how God shows up on our behalf!

Everything All at Once I sense 2018 will be a year of "everything at once". All Hell will break loose and all of Heaven will break loose—but Heaven is greater than Hell. I sense the presence of a great cloud of heavenly witnesses—including family members—standing to cheer us on this coming year. The eyes of Heaven are upon us, waving checkered flags in the distance. The heavens are shouting, "Don't lose your excitement for what God has called you to do. Your excitement excites Him and activates the angels among you. Excitement is a powerful weapon against the enemy as it ties his hands." A challenging year is ahead. It will seem like everything is happening at the same time. People will be saying, "It's always something. It's always something..." in a negative tone. On the other hand, if we stay focused on the Lord, we will be saying, "He's always doing something. He's always doing something good, in spite of the situation." The mindset we need to have for this new year is: "We do bears, we do lions, and we do giants. That's what we do." For they will come this year to find out what is in us. These will be distractions to keep us from focusing on the Lord with worshipping Him no matter what. I sense the enemy saying, "I hope you don't feel like worshipping the Lord this year with what I have in mind. If you do, it will bring Him down into your situation and if He shows up, I'm out of here; for He doesn't know how to lose. Defeat is not in Him." Extreme Trials and Extreme Victories It will be a year like Houston being hit by a hurricane and winning the World Series. Extreme testings and extreme victories. Testings will bring them on. Priorities will change as these challenges show up. I hear the Father saying, "Batten down the hatches." I sense this means the prayer closet will become a very important place in our lives. I believe "batten down the hatches" refers to closing the door on distractions as we not only pray but listen to Him speaking to us. 2018 – I See Bear Rugs, Lion Furs and Giants' Heads On Gold Platters This will be a year when mighty men and mighty women will rise up because they've killed a bear, a lion or a giant, for these have come to make us strong. God says, "They will be your nourishment, your bread; your sustenance." We will get to eat honey out of the belly of the lion. We will see what a lion's fur looks like hanging in our house and the heads of giants on gold platters. I see bear rugs, lion furs and giants' heads laying all over the place in your houses. These will be trophies awarded to those who didn't give up the good fight of faith. Giants Are the Breakfast of Champions I hear the Father asking, "How hungry are you? When you get hungry enough, you get to eat giants! The giants aren't showing up to take you out, they're showing up so you can eat them. Eat your giants today. They are your nourishment. They are your bread and sustenance. Giants are the breakfast of champions." "Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense is departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Fear them not." (Numbers 14:9 KJV) I have wondered why "I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God" is still my favorite song going into this new year. Why is "do not fear" mentioned so often throughout the Bible? Because God knows there will be times and reasons why we will be afraid, but He is with us. Because of what Jesus did on the Cross, He has already slain every bear, every lion and every giant we will ever face, so we can too. Remember Jesus lives in us and He is not afraid, and He doesn't worry about anything. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.) Bill Yount
Blowing the Shofar Ministry
Email: theshofarhasblown@juno.com
Website: theshofarhasblown@juno.com Bill Yount has been a member of Bridge of Life in Hagerstown, Maryland, for the past 36 years where he is now an elder and a home missionary. He is currently an advisor at large for Aglow International. Bill faithfully served in prison ministry at Mount Hope for 23 years and now travels full-time, both in the U.S. and internationally, ministering in churches and Aglow circles. "Humility and humor" characterize his ministry as he brings forth a fresh word that is "in season," proclaiming the Word of the Lord! The shofar (or ram's horn) is often used in his meetings, breaking the powers of darkness over regions, churches, and households. The shofar represents God's breath blowing into the nostrils of His people, reviving them and awakening the lost. Many of God's messages, which Bill ministers prophetically, come out of his everyday life with his family and friends. ************************************* To receive daily, encouraging prophetic emails from The Elijah List to your in box CLICK HERE or go to: http://elijahlist.com/subscribe Visit our webstore and check out Alveda King's brand new book by Elijah List Publications: America Return to God: www.americareturntogod.com Also check out Steve Shultz's Revised and 2nd Edition book Can't You Talk Louder, God?: http://www.elijahshopper.com/cant-you-talk-louder-god-secrets-to-hearing-the-voice-of-god-revised-and-updated-edition-by-steve-shultz/ Permission is granted (and you are also encouraged) to reprint these articles in hard copy form, as well as sending them to your own email lists and posting them on your own websites.
