January 11, 2018 "A Vision of the Scroll and the Sword: A Prophetic Word for 2018" Pete Garza, Stryker, OH From the Desk of Steve Shultz: God is really causing His people to "Think Big" this year...as He is a God of the impossible. He wants us to let that sink in and walk out big dreams and possibilities with Him. In this word from Pete Garza, he asks us a couple of thought-provoking questions: What are you magnifying? Do we have a big devil and a little God perception? Just like Joshua, God has promised you a great inheritance. It's time to take it back! It's time to recover and restore! It's time to take back the land that the enemy has stolen from you. Be inspired and encouraged as God leads you this year to face the giants and take back your Promised Land!

I was taken into a vision where I began to see the Lord passing batons to the Bride. These batons weren't just any batons, but batons clothed with new mantles of His glory. These batons had the appearance of a scroll on one end and a sword on the other. The Lord said that these scrolls were going to be used to bring an increase of His voice and presence here on earth. He is releasing a relentless prophetic generation that are finely tuned to the leading of His voice. They will echo HIS heart, and the sword would be used in this season to bring the correction to the Bride. These scrolls God is releasing carry the wisdom and blueprints from Heaven for this season. The guard is changing, as are the watchmen on the wall. The new breed is being positioned right now. They will be carriers of God's presence and full of stamina—filled with passion and reverence for God. It's a new breed rising—the giant slayers. Many will be ones that nobody knows. They won't always be in the limelight, and they won't be seeking attention. They will be about their Father's business and slaying the GIANTS in the land. In 2018 we will see restoration of families, relationships and ministries. We will see the promises restored and returned. It's time to take back the land that was stolen from us. God's Promise to Joshua The Lord made covenant with Joshua and told him, "Everywhere you put the sole of your foot, I will give it to you...Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:3;10). Who's voice echoes in your ear? Do you agree with what you see or what God sees for you? In Numbers, you read about Moses sending men to spy out the Promised Land, and they returned with a bad report because of their fear of the giants: "And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, 'The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.'" (Numbers 13:32-33) God never saw the Israelites as grasshoppers; He saw the giants as small. The same way God chose Joshua, He has chosen YOU! When God commissions something, He is sure to bring you victory. Joshua 10:8, "'Do not be afraid of them,' the Lord said to Joshua, 'for I have given you victory over them. Not a single one of them will be able to stand up to you.'" If God is for Us, Who Can Be Against Us? 2018 will be YOUR season of victory, and those giants that have kept you in bondage are now being shackled. As we've moved into 2018, let's prepare for victory! What giants are holding you back? Romans gives us such great encouragement: "What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?" ( Romans 8:31). What are you magnifying? Do we have a big devil and a little God perception? Just like Joshua, God has promised you a great inheritance. It's time to take it back! It's time to recover and restore! It's time to take back the land that the enemy has stolen from you. It's time to take back your families, your relationships, your joy, your peace and have love for others. 2018 will be your year of victory! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
