| From the Desk of Steve Shultz:  When I think of Garris Elkins and his ministry, I think of great wisdom...and from a spiritual father.
Garris and his wife, Jan, are spiritual parents in the Body of Christ...and they are always pouring out their wisdom from the Lord to the rest of us.

http://www.elijahlist.com ************************************* "What We Can Do in the Coming Reset of God" Garris Elkins, Medford, OR  We will soon emerge from one of the most unusual times in history. Many of us have been isolated and set apart from the normal routine of life because of the COVID-19 virus. It has been uncomfortable and strange, to say the least. This is not a time to be wasted or squandered. God has something to say to us if we have ears to hear. The Lord typically gives me a word to carry for each season. The word I am carrying in this season is "reset." God is currently resetting the course of individuals, businesses, ministries, and governments.

It will require that we say no to some things currently on our plate and yes to things we had not considered before the refocusing took place. Rest A place of rest is where God does His most significant work in us. If we are willing to learn how to rest, we will experience a depth of faith not known in a restless place. God gives us the power and authority to engage in greater exploits in His Kingdom from a place of rest. This rest is purposeful, calendared, and sacred. This rest is more than just taking a day off each week. It must become a lifestyle, a constant way of thinking and living. Rest reveals the God-solutions that a stressed and burned out mind cannot perceive. Rest will be the place from which the next revival and reformation will be birthed. We enter this place of rest when we... (continue reading) Find us on:
