From the desk of Steve Shultz:
This is a most excellent word and goes along with some of the articles we've been posting lately.
God is sending out a message of "purity" in this hour and how vital it is to us...as He prepares us to carry what He's pouring out.
And in this hour, He is also hand-picking and raising up leaders who have been faithful and true to Him and in their prayer life. Ben Lim shares here:
The Holy Spirit is hand-picking and selecting His people from the army of the Lord and is raising them up. But who will rise and who will take leadership? Well, it's those people who first take leadership in their prayer rooms. True leaders take matters to prayer rather than to people. True leaders take matters to the Court Rooms of Heaven rather than the board rooms of man. True leaders take matters to the face of God rather than the face of man. Because they've been bathed in the place of prayer and in the presence of God, they will release the manifold wisdom of God.
Be encouraged that as you have been faithful to Him, He is that much more faithful to you! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"God is Raising Up Leaders Like Daniel – with the '10x Better' Anointing!"
Ben Lim, Los Angeles, CA
There is an appointed time and lifestyle of consecration that the Lord is bringing upon His people. The Holy Spirit is bringing a life of deep separation from a number of things. There is a greater level of holiness that the Lord is bringing back to the Church. This isn't just in terms and matters of dealing with immorality, which is a large part of it, but also treating the things of God as "holy" and getting back to the main thing.
Your Consecration Leads You to Great Promotion
Just like the Levites were separate from the rest of the tribes, this act was "qadosh" or it was holy. They were made holy unto Him. They were considered to be holy and not common. The Lord is consecrating your heart, your mind, your finances, your relationships, your family, and even within your church. The Holy Spirit is consecrating the things that you have had and held onto.
"But Daniel resolved (purposed) that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself." (Daniel 1:8 ESV)
| "You shall no longer be fooled nor outwitted but you will walk in wisdom, inside and out. Nothing shall be hidden from you. You will have the mind of the Lord." |
Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself. It's time for you to make a decision to not allow the lesser things to compromise you out of the great. It's time to purpose yourself to not fall back into the same old patterns but to be renewed in your mind and spirit. It's time for you to purpose yourself to say "no" to the world and to say "yes" to the Lord. Say "no" to the cheap mixture and say "yes" to the pricey perfume. Say "no" to cutting-corners and overlooking issues and say "yes" to excellence and whole-heartedness.
The 10X Better Anointing
"And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom." (Daniel 1:20 ESV)
There is an anointing like Daniel's that is coming upon the people. You shall be ten times better than every other person around you! You shall be ten times better than all of the learned magicians, politicians, teachers, scholars, and masters. You shall become ten times better than the fathers and mothers that have gone ahead of you! And this isn't arrogance, but this is the reality of what the Spirit of the Lord will do through a person who humbles themselves in purity and prayer.
But they shall pay the price for this great oil. They shall pay the price for this great blessing. For the greater the blessing the greater the burden. The greater the blessing, the greater the responsibility. (Photo via Unsplash)

Prayer is the Earmark of Heaven on Earth
Daniel lived a constant life of prayer. Prayer was his source of secrets. Prayer was the source of his mysteries unveiled. Prayer was the place of his strength, boldness, wisdom, and leadership. It was his time in daily prayer that led him into national and international leadership.
The Holy Spirit is about to reveal some great secrets to the... (continue reading)
