| From the Desk of Steve Shultz:  If you need to be empowered right now...especially in your FAITH, you've got to read this word from Wanda Alger.
We are still in Passover and this is a crucial time for us to be fervent and vigilant in our prayers together unto the Lord. Wanda shares this potent word, here, from the days of Joshua, and it really feels like it's a place where we're at today: "Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you'" (Joshua 3:5). God was telling His people that the only way they were going to be able to defeat their enemies was to prepare themselves. It was not a matter of strategizing their warfare but preparing their hearts. Little did they know the miracles they were about to walk into... Are you ready to walk into the most amazing outpouring and miracles you haven't seen yet? Enjoy this word and let the Lord prepare you right now! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

http://www.elijahlist.com ************************************* "From Passover to Crossing Over" Wanda Alger, Winchester, VA  As we are now moving through PASSOVER (ends April 16), we are about to CROSS OVER.
Right before the Israelites crossed over the Jordan to take the city of Jericho and defeat their enemies, they had been instructed to stay in their camp for 3 days to prepare. It seems that God has a way of preparing His people for great exploits. Knowing they must set themselves apart to fulfill their purpose, God dictates times of rest, reflection, and repentance before a nation can secure its land. "Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you'" (Joshua 3:5). God was telling His people that the only way they were going to be able to defeat their enemies was to prepare themselves. It was not a matter of strategizing their warfare but preparing their hearts. Little did they know the miracles they were about to walk into. There was also another key element in the people being properly positioned for the battles ahead. Without the PRESENCE OF THE LORD going before them to mark their path, they would have no roadmap and no power.  "And Joshua said to the priests, 'Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on before the people.' So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people." (Joshua 3:6) (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
The Ark of the Covenant represented God's absolute promise to fulfill His plans through His people. It was covered with His tangible presence and surrounded by His glory. It was so "heaven born," it brought the fear of the Lord to anyone in proximity. It was the visible reminder that His presence was constant, and His promise secure. Just as He led them through the wilderness with supernatural provision and daily direction, so He would lead them into their inheritance. Not only did His promise and presence need to go ahead of the people, it was His priests that were responsible for leading the way. These were the ones He had called and set apart who were ready to carry the call and take the first steps – literally. "And when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap." (Joshua 3:13) When the priests followed His lead and obeyed His word, it opened the way for miracles. Today, every follower of Christ is part of this royal priesthood of Believers (see 1 Peter 2:5).
