I can definitely say that Hiram has always released sound council and carries a word of God's truth. From Kingdom gatherings to just sitting down in fellowship with other leaders, he prophetically speaks into the hearts of those whom he comes in contact with – to people from all walks of life.
He's the brother we all would like to know and appreciate as a co-laborer in today's harvest field. Hiram and Tina are currently planting a work in the Tampa Bay area. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

There is a big difference between acquaintance, friendship, and relationship. We all have had people in our lives at these different levels. In this season, many are discovering how meaningful or how shallow certain relationships have been. There are certain relationships, specifically with our spouses, children and loved ones that have grown distant over time. Some relationships have not been fruitful, meaning they are not reciprocal. One person does all the reaching, interaction and investing while the other person does not.
I believe that in this season the Lord is beginning to put the spotlight on our friendships and relationships.
God is just and He cares about our relationships. It is not just for a person to sow and not reap. The Kingdom of God is based on the principle of sowing and reaping. In this season, the Lord is bringing family units together with a stronger bond than ever before. Marriages are being fortified and families are being knit together.
The Lord is bringing certain relationships closer together, but He is also setting some people free from relationships that are not bearing fruit. These are typically one-sided, dysfunctional relationships where one person does all the investing and reaching, and the other person makes little to no investment. (Photo via Piqsels)
Let's allow the Lord to define our relationships in this new era. Some relationships will blossom and flourish; other ones will be adjusted to a different level of importance, and still others will be pruned from our lives simply because they are not fruitful. We will also begin to be restored from past relationships that have gone through this cycle; the Lord is reigniting, redeeming and restoring what has been lost. Either way, let's give God room to breathe upon all our relationships.
Our Key: Intimacy with the Life Giver
Ezekiel 37:1-4 states, "The hand of the Lord was on me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of dry bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' I said, 'Sovereign Lord, You alone know.' Then He said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones and say to them, "Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!"'"
Before Ezekiel was commanded to prophesy to the dry bones, it says that the hand of the Lord was upon him (Ezekiel 37:1). It was only because of this that he could prophesy the word of life into the dry bones. In this next season, the Lord is requiring intimacy, for His hand to be upon us and to prophesy life. I keep hearing this in my spirit: Before we can prophesy to our relationships – from dry bones to a living organism – we must FIRST have intimacy with the Life Giver. Those that bypass this process will continue to foster dysfunctional relationships... (continue reading)
