From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I sure enjoy reading articles about healing and restoration that is coming...they really help many of you in the Body of Christ!
I know many have gone through storms and trials...unlike they ever have before!
Know this...God is writing a new story over your life, just as Crystal Wade shares here:
Father has heard your cry and He is comforting you with the truth that He is coming again and writing a new story of His glory in these days in and through your life. It is not the second coming but it is in this time. It may not look like what you'd expected or hoped for, yet you are a rebuilder. You haven't lost what you thought you have. You are an essential part of Father's new story of glory that is unfolding now.
I pray as you read through this word, you receive great comfort and healing from the Lord in any areas needed. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

As He broke through my grief, He revealed an unexpected source of comfort – which is solid ground on which to stand steady – and prophetic keys which are His grace and timing for unlocking a new future.
The Word of Days: A New Story
To my surprise, I discovered there are unlikely books in Scripture which hold keys to help us thrive in this present time. Believed to be authored by Ezra are the panoramic books of Chronicles. Ezra and his family also experienced cataclysmic loss. Everything was swept away in a moment by the Father—after a grace period of several hundred years—over the main issue of idolatry within the nation of Israel.

And yet, at the appointed time to rebuild, Father moved on the heart of Cyrus the king to release the rebuilders and return the treasures from the Lord's temple.
The discovery that stunned me is that the... (continue reading)
