From the desk of Steve Shultz:
This was an extremely "soothing" word from the Lord through Katie Barker of Australia, as we coast through the "storms" of life.
Have you gone through any storms lately? I know many of us have! This really is a NOW word for the Body as we seem surrounded by storms on all fronts.
Katie Barker opens with this word of the Lord which many of you need to hear and receive:
I heard the Lord say, "Rest in Me. Praise Me in the storm. I am bigger than your circumstances. I am the God of the impossible. I am making the crooked places straight. I have gone before you and prepared the way. I am working all things together for your good. I am turning things around and you will see My goodness abound.
"Where the enemy has come in like a flood, I am raising up a standard against him. Look to Me and not to your circumstances. Don't allow the enemy to steal your peace..."
Amen...be very encouraged by this word of the Lord to you! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Praise Me in the Storm - Don't Allow the Enemy to Steal Your Peace!"
Katie Barker, Tweed Coast, Australia
I heard the Lord say, "Rest in Me. Praise Me in the storm. I am bigger than your circumstances. I am the God of the impossible. I am making the crooked places straight. I have gone before you and prepared the way. I am working all things together for your good. I am turning things around and you will see My goodness abound.
"Where the enemy has come in like a flood, I am raising up a standard against him. Look to Me and not to your circumstances. Don't allow the enemy to steal your peace. I am your peace and your hope is found in Me. In My presence there is fullness of joy. Take shelter under My wings and allow My love to envelope you and give you strength. I am all you need. Join your heart to Mine. My love for you is endless."
Rest in Him
The Lord is calling you to rest in who He is and to trust in Him – trust in His promises and faithfulness. He alone can give you a hope that anchors you in any season or any situation. A hope so secure that when difficulties come you're not swayed or governed by the storm around you. There is always the hope you need to carry on for your steps are guided by the hand of God.
| "God invites us to hold onto the promises He has given and to believe He is able to do the impossible for us." |
The more you grow in understanding of who God is, and the more you grow in your relationship with Him, the more you trust Him. When we rest and trust in God, the storms of life may come but our heart will not be moved. Trusting God means we give up worrying and reasoning and we enter into His rest with simple, childlike faith; for we live by grace through faith. In that place of trust, there is perfect peace, regardless of what we are going through in our lives.
We are partners with God in what He calls us to do – we have a part and He has a part. The Lord wants us to be obedient and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, which is our part to play. Sometimes we try to do God's part and that brings us worry and stress when all that is required is to rest in Him and allow Him to do what only He can.
We are invited to rest in Him knowing He is aligning all things for our good and He has prepared the path for us to walk in. When we feel overwhelmed we need to refocus our eyes on Jesus, for when our eyes are on Him, we are no longer ruled by our circumstances and we have heavenly perspective to see the way He sees.
