From the desk of Steve Shultz:
We sure love the Hamons...and always look forward to hearing from them and reading their prophetic words from the Lord.
Through CI (Christian International) they are a mighty force who have trained up thousands upon thousands into ministry and in hearing the prophetic voice of God.
This is one very detailed and prevalent word for our world and culture today by Tom Hamon. It's a bit longer, so I will keep this short. We have the power and the capability to change culture in our day as Tom shares:
"We have to systematically change the culture of the Church to be a 'Kingdom Culture' in order to effectively change the culture in our land! We change the culture so that the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church. It's time for the Church to prevail or overcome by operating with the keys to the Kingdom to shut down the gates of Hell and open up the gates of Heaven over people's lives and in our land."
Can I just say AMEN Tom! Read on to find out how we can defeat the giants at the gate and take back our land...and our culture! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"In 2018: Defeat the Giants at the Gate!"
Tom Hamon, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
In praying about this upcoming year of 2018, I felt that this was going to be a year of tremendous opportunities for the Kingdom of God to make significant advancements at the gates of culture. We often talk about the culture-shaping gates in our society such as Government, Business, Arts & Entertainment, Family, Religion, Education and Media as being key to territorial and national transformation. A key Scripture for this season is found in 1 Corinthians 16:9 which states, "...a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." I believe that this door is going to swing wide for many this year for Kingdom influence in these gates, but there are menacing adversaries—"giants" if you will—stationed there that we must overcome and defeat to accomplish the mission God has for us in this season.
The Battle is at the Gate!
In Isaiah 28:6, the Word declares that God will be "...a Spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate." I believe that is the call and the challenge in this season: to turn the tide of social injustice, unrighteousness, immorality and evil in our culture today. The gate is always where the battle rages to see who will control a city, a nation, a region and the culture of a people.
This passage in Isaiah goes on to say that those who are called to battle at the gate have lost their battle to influence the culture, because as Scripture puts it, "But they also have erred through wine, and through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean" (Isaiah 28:7-8).
Wow, what an indictment! Those who are called to battle at the gate for the land are "out of the way" or out of position for what reason? It says it is because they are... (continue reading)
