From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Gale Sheehan, director of Christian International, messaged me a couple nights ago about a word we posted by him early this year on January 27th. Christian International, founded by Bishop Bill Hamon, is located in Santa Rosa Beach in the Florida Panhandle. Hurricane Michael caused great devastation to the Panhandle area. Folks, we need to be praying great comfort and God's restoration to those affected in this area...many lost everything!
Gale messaged me this quick note:
Steve...on January 27th this year you posted a Word of the Lord for 2018 from me that was titled "Open Doors in the Eye of a Storm." It was how God will make a way for us in the midst of the strongest storms. In our location, especially Panama City area, Hurricane Michael has brought great devastation. CI was supernaturally protected, but we are canceling our major IGAP conference next week in light of the community.
I reposted the article on my Facebook page and have gotten some positive comments from those that lost everything. I did not know if a repost for you would be an option at this time reaching a wider view... I appreciate all you bring to the Body of Christ!
Below we are posting this article from Gale Sheehan who lives right in the Panhandle of Florida. We are praying for all those affected in this area! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"God will Make a Way in the Midst of the Strongest Storms"
Gale Sheehan, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Signs of Upholding His Promises
2018, along with the Hebrew year of 5778, promises to be a year of great opportunities with the Lord in the midst of strong storms. With both timetables signifying "New Beginnings" by the number 8 there are also some other significant symbolic meanings. One centers in the Hebrew year 5778. The magnitude of God's purpose in the Hebrew calendar came to a whole new level for me in the year 5776 or 2016. I had just ministered a message on the number 6 or "vav" that year and how the "vav" had a meaning of connection as referenced in Genesis 1:1 when God "vaved" the Heavens and Earth or connected them together. One meaning of this type of connecting was "Like Lightning Bolts" from Heaven to Earth.
The very next week in 2016, a massive lightning bolt hit our home. It was described by the Fire Department and electrical contractors as the strongest they had ever seen. I took this as an amazing prophetic sign of the Lord verifying His timetable. This represented God upholding His promises of connecting our destinies with Him that year.
| "He will revive things that may seem dead as He blows His resurrection life upon them. Don't give up on prophetic words that may not have happened yet but continue to persevere by decreeing what God has said." |
The Lord had previously spoken to me with many other signs and wonders in atmospheric manifestations, but this was a first for a "Lightning Bolt" event. The Lord also used the lightning strike of 5776 to be a great blessing with our insurance replacing anything that had been plugged into an electrical outlet. TVs, appliances, computers, etc., like an early Christmas. I want to highlight this event in a prelude to the significance of 5778.
Symbolic Meanings of 5778
The Lord began to speak to me that we are entering a doorway to the "fulfillment of all things" in this year of 2018. Eight: The Hebrew number/letter "Chet" pictorially looks like a doorway. This year aligns with the "3rd and final Apostolic Reformation" where the Body of Christ will begin to arise in the earth to prepare the way for Jesus to return again. As John the Baptist was a forerunner of Jesus, walking the earth as God and man, now the Church will move forward toward His second coming in power and victory. The exact time no man knows, but we can begin to see evidence of the season of Jesus' return.
In the time of the Exodus of the Israelites, it was the blood of a lamb that was applied to the doorposts which separated them from the destruction of the plague of death. The "Blood of the Lamb" Jesus is what separates us today for blessing over the plans of the enemy's destruction.
Another significant symbolic meaning of 5778 is in the combined number 78 (ayin chet). 70 (ayin) is a number associated with the eye and 8 (chet) is a number that can be related to a wall. When combined the number 78 represents an "eyewall." (Photo via Unsplash)
Living in the state of Florida for the last 25 years has brought me an awareness of hurricanes and the formation of "eyewalls" of hurricanes. The eyewall is always where... (continue reading)
