From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Rick Joyner is a very important Father in the Body of Christ...and he is always, always full of wisdom for our current day.
This is a shorter word, but it is full of wisdom for all us concerning this challenging year of 2017...and what many walked through.
Rick shares one of the most powerful statements concerning this past year and as we enter into the next:
To begin 2018 the right way, we need to thank the Lord for 2017 and everything that happened to us in it—both the good and the other that will work for our good. Every bitter thing must be turned into sweetness if we are to continue toward our Promised Land, the fulfillment of the promises we've been given.
Let Rick Joyner, a very wise father in the Church, speak this message from his "Word for the Week" into your life! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Year in Review – Getting to Your Promised Land"
Rick Joyner, Fort Mill, SC
Thank you for joining us on this journey of studying the Book of Revelation (in our Word for the Week). We will continue this study next year as we are just getting into some of the most exciting parts of it, many of which give great clarity on what is unfolding in our times. However, I like to use the last WFTW of the year as a special message for the coming year.
There will never be another 2017. Many are thankful for that and are ready to start another year, but 2017 was an awesome year. Every year is for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. He has promised to turn all things into good.
Bitter Into Sweet - Getting to Your Promised Land
As we are told in 1 Corinthians 10:11, which speaks of the things that happened to Israel in the wilderness, "Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come."
Every trial that Israel went through in the wilderness was a prophetic map of what every Believer must go through to get to their Promised Land—the fulfillment of their promises. The first major trial they faced was at "the waters of Mira," or the waters of bitterness.
The first thing Israel had to learn if they were going to make it to their Promised Land was how to turn the bitter waters into sweet, or how to turn every bad thing they endured into a good thing. We must do the same.
To begin 2018 the right way, we need to thank the Lord for 2017 and everything that happened to us in it—both the good and the other that will work for our good. Every bitter thing must be turned into sweetness if we are to continue toward our Promised Land, the fulfillment of the promises we've been given. (Photo via Pixabay)
