From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I know this article from Ruth Hendrickson will really bless and encourage many of you!
For those who've felt stuck, in a rut, and not moving forward as quickly as you'd like, read this awesome statement that Ruth opens up with:
God is repositioning many of His people to have greater impact! The Lord is saying that He has heard the cry of His people asking to have greater impact. He has been on the move repositioning many but it doesn't look the way they thought it would. Some are even wondering if God has abandoned or rejected them. However, the Lord God Almighty states that He IS in control.
Amen to that...God IS in control.

"You Are Being Positioned for Greater Favor and Impact!"
Ruth Hendrickson, Stockton, New Jersey
God is repositioning many of His people to have greater impact! The Lord is saying that He has heard the cry of His people asking to have greater impact. He has been on the move repositioning many but it doesn't look the way they thought it would. Some are even wondering if God has abandoned or rejected them. However, the Lord God Almighty states that He IS in control.
In Daniel Chapter 1, we read during the third year of King Jehoiakim's reign in Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. The Lord gave him victory over King Jehoiakim of Judah and permitted him to take some of the sacred objects from the Temple of God. So Nebuchadnezzar took them back to the land of Babylonia and placed them in the treasure-house of his god.

Note the words, "The Lord gave him" (see verse 2). It was the Lord who was doing the repositioning, not man. Many of God's people have felt massive shaking in their lives. Many have experienced the loss of jobs, security, homes and have had their families uprooted. Your sense of security has been challenged. You have been searching your hearts and crying out for God to show you where you stepped away from His heart. For many, God is saying that you have not stepped away from His heart, but you have stepped into His will. It is vital that you see from a heavenly perspective rather than an earthly perspective in order to property navigate this season.
Focus is Everything
Daniel, along with others, was selected to be fully immersed and trained in all things of Babylon. In the midst of this, we find that Daniel was determined not to defile himself (Daniel 1:8). The Lord says that the key to impact during times of shaking and transition is to keep your focus and to not allow yourself to be defiled with what is happening around you.
As with Daniel, we may find ourselves in a corrupt situation but we can still keep ourselves clean before God. When our focus is on Him, our hearts cannot be defined by what is around us. We will not be consumed by the darkness. God is saying He has sent us on a mission to consume the darkness with His light. (Photo via Pixabay)
"We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One." (2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT)
Open up your hands and receive all that He has. Although discouragement, frustration and fear are knocking at the door, do not let them in, for God is saying He is still in control and you are being repositioned. Through the shaking God is repositioning you so that you can have greater impact. Do not depend on the feelings during the transition, but depend on the faithfulness of God—declare...
