| April 28, 2018 "Trusting Him through the Fiery Furnace"
Anne Marie Molster and Amie Rogers From the Desk of Steve Shultz:  I really enjoyed reading this word by Anne Marie Molster and Amie Rogers as they share about trusting God through the most difficult of situations.
I know quite a few of you have walked through it...and have been longing to see some major shifts take place. Well, this word will really help you as Anne Marie and Amie share: As we walk in and out of the fiery furnaces of life, we are being refined, defined and commissioned. This process is also intended for a much larger purpose. It is also meant to be a display to all those watching us walk through these inevitable difficulties of life—how we handle our hardest circumstances and show others that Jesus is in the fire with us. It is ultimately all about gaining a deeper revelation of our heavenly Father. How we come through some of the harshest circumstances can be powerful testimonies for many others. Enjoy and be encouraged to keep walking through! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.) Note: Do these free emails bless you?

Anne Marie Molster and Amie Rogers  Anne Marie (L) and Amie Rogers (R) "...if we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve IS ABLE to save us from it, AND He WILL rescue us from your hand. BUT EVEN IF HE DOES NOT..." (Daniel 3:17-18, emphasis added) How to Handle Our "But If Not" Moments How do we handle our "but if not" moments? How do we continue to walk when that thing or situation doesn't happen or that prayer isn't answered? How do we move forward in our sickness when the healing isn't immediate? Are we toddler-like, pouting and wanting to quit, or are we steadfast and trusting? It may not be the breakthrough we want, but it will be a breaking through of the things we need. We have to stay surrendered and seeking! Do you think Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's perspective changed before or after being thrown into the fiery furnace? After, of course! In the fire they saw JESUS! Our "but if not moments" are multi-faceted and multi-purposed! These men experienced a true pressing of their faith; choosing to die over bowing down to false gods. In that giant push of faith their eyes saw Jesus and they experienced the burning furnace. They came out not smelling of smoke, but most certainly changed. Yet another purpose for them to walk into that fire was for King Nebuchadnezzar (and everyone else watching) to see Jesus and His miraculous nature in the midst of the flames.
As we walk in and out of the fiery furnaces of life, we are being refined, defined and commissioned. This process is also intended for a much larger purpose. It is also meant to be a display to all those watching us walk through these inevitable difficulties of life—how we handle our hardest circumstances and show others that Jesus is in the fire with us. It is ultimately all about gaining a deeper revelation of our heavenly Father. The Lord Loves Us too Much to Leave Us Unrefined "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 50:20 NIV) Joseph didn't receive this revelation at the beginning of his journey while sitting in the pit his brothers threw him in, or on the slave's auction block or even in his prison cell. It is likely that it came after he was in the palace, seeing the dreams God had given him long ago, unfolding before him. So often we are given dreams and visions as a focal point as we begin our journey into gaining the wisdom and maturity that is needed before seeing them materialize.
We cannot allow ourselves to feel beaten down and defeated by disappointment. This happens frequently when we place our thoughts and ideas of how these dreams and visions should manifest in our lives. When it doesn't happen, we blame God and in turn, go down the path of frustration, feeling as if we should simply quit. We need to understand that the Lord loves us too much to leave us unrefined, and that He certainly wouldn't give us something that we wouldn't steward well.
Trusting in the Lord's Plans for Our Lives Outside of pure rebellion and disobedience, we cannot stop the Lord's plans for us. As long as we are surrendered and seek Him and His direction, He will direct our steps—every single one of them! This is what we must believe to the very core of our spirit! Believing does not simply mean "being in agreement". We must be willing to trust the Lord with unwavering confidence, based on our deeply rooted faith in Him and Him alone! We must trust His words and His power to move us in ways we have never imagined. He will draw to the surface the things that define us as He originally intended. As His light shines upon us, His purpose in us will be highlighted.
We are His Masterpiece The Lord is saying: "You are wondering what your specific purpose is. Sometimes when you watch an artist working, you don't understand what they are creating until they reach a certain point in that creation, or the artist moves in such a way that reveals it. I am telling you right now: YOU are MY MASTERPIECE! Watch and wait for Me to move in the great reveal! This is the year of a great unveiling of all My hidden ones!
"The wounded ones that others have called 'unqualified' and 'too far gone'—you are the ones I'm calling forward in these moments! All this time in the cave has fine-tuned you to hear Me, speak for Me and reflect Me. This cave of isolation has kept you safe from all the false religion. You can reveal Heaven made manifest and now is the time to show it!
"Those of you still hidden in preparation, you still have My continuous favor over you. You are chosen and favored no matter where you are, no matter what others may say and do. They may have shunned you, but I am going to reveal you. No man can stop My movements. I am making the final preparations in you. Stay ready and stay seeking Me in our quiet place.
"What I will do for you in the coming days, others will not believe, but it will shake them to their core and cause a stirring in their own spirit. They will then begin to desire to know more of Me and crave what they see in you!
"I am beginning a new thing! I am raising up those that speak in love, rejoicing in all things that I give so freely. Peace, love and joy will abundantly come forth in visions, words, songs and dance. You will supply hope for the hopeless and feed love to the heartless. You will pour into the lives of many others, giving to them abundantly, the blessings you have received through Me.
"They will see you as a VICTOR and you will show them how to live victoriously! They will see you RISE and you will cause them to rise up with you! They will see your BOUNDLESS LOVE and you will call them to love one another!"
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19 NIV) (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.) Anne Marie Molster
