From the desk of Steve Shultz:
This is a bit of a sobering word, but I believe a very necessary word as we start the new year.
Yes, there will always be people, even in your own family, who are not for you and are in fact, against you. We are commanded to forgive them and we should always pray for them, and cast these cares onto the Lord. He is very good at restoration and will do it in His timing...as we give it all to Him.
There is much you are called to in this new season...and God will align you with the right divine relationships and this includes letting go of some wrong ones as well.
Victoria shares the importance of this day:
We will see the Lord do something He has never done before! What He is about to do will astound us. Our heavenly Father will do whatever it takes to get us to where we need to be and who we need to be with. Truly, He's not just preparing for war. No! He's preparing us for VICTORY! It's time to let go of anything that will slow us down or trip us up, because God is building a monumental army. When He says, "GO," you just say, "YES!"
Amen! Let this word by Victoria help you along your journey as God opens wide new doors with new connections and relationships which are vital to your future! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Breaking Free In 2018"
Victoria Boyson, Montgomery, TX
2018 will bring us wide open doors of opportunity! God is about to throw you the ball! What will you do with it? Are you ready to run your race? Our Almighty Father is tearing down long-held strongholds of the enemy in preparation for a spiritual advancement the world has never seen before or could be imagined in our wildest dreams. The hour has come! This season is too important to align yourself with Christians who do not really believe in God and refuse to believe in you!
In 2018, we will see an even greater divide between those who follow Jesus Christ and those who are Christian in name only. You will need to choose who you will serve (Joshua 24:15). No matter how much you may want them to, for whatever reason, some people just cannot believe in you. But those who can't believe in the calling God has given you are, in essence, against you. If they mock your dreams, treat you with contempt or slander you, you are, unfortunately, linked to someone controlled by the accuser of the brethren.
Not only are they hindering you from your calling, they are endangering their own needed breakthrough by their poor treatment of you. In the end, distancing yourself from them is not only wise, but will keep them from reaping the consequences of their contemptuous accusations against you. If they're not for you, they are against you. Moreover, going into battle with people who don't believe in you is dangerous.
Jesus said in Matthew 12:30, "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters." The Lord knew He would need people around Him who were like-minded and would be a help and a support when it was needed. We, too, need to look for those people who can encourage our mission even when it looks impossible.
| "This season is too important to align ourselves with people who simply DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD...and do not believe in us!" |
I understand the difficulty in distancing yourself from people you cherish, but we have to realize the importance of the hour we are entering. We are undertaking the destruction of the long-held strongholds of the enemy. Only by the Spirit can we truly understand the weight of the commission the Lord has given us, the cost of what we're being asked to do, and the importance of our victory to a world at war with itself.
We cannot go forward into battle for the souls of mankind if... (continue reading)
