From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I really enjoy hearing from the array of prophetic voices in the Body of Christ. Myself and Steve Porter had one big thing in common...we both had the same spiritual father, Wade Taylor.
I sure miss Wade, as he graduated to Heaven! And I appreciate Steve Porter carrying on in the same vein and message as Wade: Intimacy with the Father.
You can hear so much and know His great love for us while we spend time in the secret place as Steve Porter shares:
Turn your head, precious one; He's looking your way with eyes full of love. One look will transform your life. His head is turned toward you, His beautiful child, right now! When you look at Him, you steal His heart. Can you see Him? With His arms open wide, He desires to embrace you and tenderly love you in His presence. Take the hand of the Master, for He is waiting for you in the secret place.
Now that'll preach any day!
Enjoy and be encouraged to spend more time with our loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace." (Song of Solomon 4:9)
Why do I believe what I believe? It can be summed up in one word – relationship. It's not about slavishly following an extensive list of authoritarian rules, lest I anger God. It's all about knowing Him personally and wanting to please Him. The religious leaders in Jesus' day firmly claimed to know God, but killed Jesus when He came to rescue humankind. Jesus unsympathetically rebuked them for their hard hearts and blatant, unrepentant hypocrisy. When we know Jesus in a personal way, we can't help but love and desire Him. In turn, we will try to obey Him because we know He has our very best interests in mind.
My dad has also been a real inspiration to me. He has great integrity, and I've never in all my years heard him tell a lie. He's always been honest with me even when it hurt. I've admired his deep desire to really know Jesus as a friend, not merely as a legendary historical figure. It stems from a time when he was fifteen years old. Let me explain.
| "Will you gaze upon Him only, leaving behind all others and the things that so tantalize you now?" |
Dad lived on the ocean in Maine. His family came from a long line of Canadian commercial fishermen. My grandmother was a deeply dedicated Christian lady who ministered with my grandfather. She was a pastor, a Bible school professor, and an inner-city relief worker, reaching out to the destitute and needy – the "down and out". It was said of my grandmother that she never said an unkind word about anyone. I loved her so much.
One night, at age fifteen, my dad went to bed, pondering what he should do with his life. He was wide awake, unable to sleep when Jesus walked into the room and stood at the foot of his bed. He opened His hands to my dad so that the nail punctures were clearly visible. My dad said he had never seen... (continue reading)
