From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
So many have experienced brokenness in their lives, even in this past year.
God always, ALWAYS has a great plan of redemption through what we've endured...and you can take that to the bank!
Just as Faith Baczko shares in her recent article:
I believe there are many of you out there reading this who are being shifted to deeper levels in God through the door of brokenness. The fruit from this in your lives is truly magnificent. I believe there will be much revelation, sublime wisdom and an authentic and beautiful spirit – all with the fragrance of Christ!
Be encouraged in this word by Faith that you are entering into a very fruitful season with the Lord. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

(Isaiah 66:1-2)
There is a correlation between brokenness and humility and the ability to see and hear, just as there is between pride and being blind and deaf.
