 Important
note by Steve Shultz:
This is a very prophetic and anointed article by Drs. Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda ...
Before you read it, however, it is important to remind our readers that as one of
many prophetic ministries, we often look into the future and see political things,
though we are not a political organization. Additionally, we can also look back
and see that in times past, the Lord chose President Clinton to lead this country,
for all authorities are appointed by God --according to Scripture.
In the same way, though this is not a political list, the vast majority of prophets
are seeing and hearing from God that President George W. Bush will be re-elected.
So -- though this is stated by various prophets -- it is not meant to suggest that
if readers have a different political persuasion that something is wrong with them.
Nothing could be further from the truth. God doesn't have a political party that
He will always endorse. He is head over all nations and the Church and He causes
at times one to rise and another to fall and vice versa.
I say this because sometimes our email "mailbag" receives letters suggesting that
we are saying you can't be a Christian unless you belong to a certain political
party. Again, nothing could be FURTHER from the truth.
Each person should pray as they feel led and then vote their conscience. When each
one of us goes to our reward, I promise that you will not receive your reward based
on whom you voted for!
I promise!
Blessings as you read this Prophecy below,
Steve Shultz
THE ELIJAH LIST
On Yom Kippur 2004, Dr. Bonnie Chavda received
a visitation from the Lord. Some impressions she received during that visit are
recorded here for your encouragement.
19 We hoped for peace but
no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror. 20 O LORD,
we acknowledge our wickedness and the guilt of our fathers; we have indeed sinned
against you. 21 For the sake of your name do not despise us; do not dishonor
your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us and do not break it... our
hope is in you! - Jeremiah 14: 19-21
Yom Kippur 2004 "Vindication 4 America"
In Jewish tradition, heaven comes to earth on Sabbat so we may enter God's rest.
This day, 9-25-04, was a double holy day with Sabbath and Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, both occurring together. We feel this Yom Kippur encounter indicated
significance and holiness of THE DAY coinciding with current events in the nations,
especially for America. We sense a dramatic shift in the heavens that is affecting
things on the earth. The clash of kingdoms, power against power, has become clearer
than ever. The saints of God should take courage and run toward destiny as never
before. God has opened heaven and has come to accelerate His finished work. We have
included the impressions received on Yom Kippur 2004 with our thoughts and insights.
We hope you will be encouraged.
On the eve of Yom Kippur, Bonnie traveled to attend the wedding of a minister's
daughter. The girl has come out of some years "in the wilderness." As she became
a bride, a double portion of the Spirit has fallen on her. During the flight, Bonnie
sat next to a man whose small daughter suffers from an auto immune disease similar
to the one that threatened our son Aaron. Also on the plane happened to be the twin
brother of the surgeon who had performed the first operation on the sick child.
The mother of the child has been forced to stay home to care for her and has turned
her skills to making jewelry for bridal parties. This turned out to be a divine
encounter and time of ministry. The aspects of this encounter were more than circumstantial.
Renewing the Heart of America
As the day of the wedding dawned, Bonnie awoke to a vision of the head of a "festive"
ram. This ram was mature with thick wool and strong curling horns.
Genesis 22:12-14: "Then Abraham
lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by
its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering
instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide;
as it is said to this day, 'In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.'"
Jehovah Jireh was in the visitation. This is His promise to America. God wants to
renew the heart of America. Expect Him to keep His promises. This is the second
time we have heard this same word for the nation, The first time was during the
early days of battle in Iraq.
"And the Angel of the Lord called to
Abraham a second time out of heaven, 'By Myself I have sworn because you have not
withheld your only son, in blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply
you.'" The war on terror is an indication
of the revelation of John wherein
"the earth helped the woman"
and swallowed the flood from the serpent's mouth
directed to take away Israel. God is reasserting that America's part, including
her first impulse towards war in Afghanistan, although it has cost us our most precious
treasure, our sons and daughters, besides our reputation and economic resources;
is unfolding His purposes in many nations and unveiling the works of darkness on
many levels. America is His servant. This is not an unrighteous thing we have done.
We must support and encourage our land, and Christians play a vital role. Aaron
and Hur held up the hands of Moses to secure victory over Amalek. We must do our
part, in prayer and fasting, for our troops and our nation to have success. An aspect
of the President's determination that sets him in derision is the unction of the
Lord upon him. God has found, in George Bush, a man He can move to actions that
are pleasing to God. He is like the oxen driven by the Spirit to carry the ark to
Jerusalem. With their calves in stalls behind them, lowing as they went, they could
not but cooperate with the Presence and purpose of the Lord.
Bonnie saw "a SECOND sacrifice." This one was different in nature and appearance
from the first, though it was the same species. The second sacrifice was the body
of a lamb as described in the law for Passover––young, perfect, ready to be slain.
Jesus was in the lamb. "The-Lord-Will-Provide." Expect this nation's well-being
and prosperity, and the peace of her individual citizens to be carried in the Lord's
sacrifice on Calvary. SECONDS are flowering everywhere.
Isaiah 11:11, "I will set My hand
again a second time to recover the remnant of My people."
Expect a repeat of many events we have experienced
the past three or four years.
"A SACRIFICE IN BOZRAH."
The Lord was clad in robes of holy zeal. The edges
of His robe were heavy and wet with the blood of His enemies, and He is not finished.
America is among His promised ones. He views her as part of His bridal procession.
God will defend her against the enemies of Israel and others who rise against her.
Her prophets should guard their hearts and measure their words at this time. If
God is for us His servants should take note as well.
Isaiah 34:5-8 "For My sword will
be bathed in heaven. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made overflowing
with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of
rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land
of Edom. For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, the year of recompense for the
cause of Zion." It is important
to note that Bozrah was the chief city of Edom. Its inhabitants were descendants
of rebel Esau; a man with a crooked spirit who sold his birthright for a meal. Indicating
Messianic victory, Bozrah was initially the place of betrayal. The actions of Bozrah's
people were very similar to the violent insurgency against our troops in Iraq. Edom
was almost always Israel's enemy. They rejoiced at the fall of Jerusalem. Bozrah
represents nations hostile to God and His plans. Bozrah represents the pride of
evil agendas. Many nations surrounding Israel are laboring under this curse. This
perspective sheds light on current events and signals a warning to those who oppose
the Lord.
The name ELAZAR appeared. Elazar was Abraham's servant who went to find Isaac's
bride. He indicates bridal preparation. El-azar, God (is) help, is a type of the
Holy Spirit. Elazar found Rebecca in present-day Iraq where our troops are now.[1]
Rebecca offered drink to the stranger at the well and went beyond that to water
his camels also. Her first impulse was the right one. It was the test by which she
was chosen for God. Her choice sealed her destiny. America has done the same. A
stay of judgments and a revival of America's covenant with God is earned in this.
Our spiritual destiny has brightened again. It's not because we are good - it's
because we were chosen for this in former times. Expect God to bring us up out of
the so-called mire. Our role in the war on terror will prove a deciding factor of
fate and fulfillment in God's purpose as a nation and determine global atmosphere.
We have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
God is On the Move
Scenes of the bride whose wedding Bonnie would attend that day came to her. Though
she had not seen the bride, her dress or other attire, nor had anyone described
them, the images she saw turned out to be what the bride wore that afternoon and
evening. These things, like the man on the plane, were more confirmation. Rebecca
of old offered the stranger a drink from her jar and furthermore drew water for
Elazar's ten camels. America's response to 911 and subsequent actions in the region
are not unlike Rebecca at the well. Her first response was right, though all convention
opposed it. This war is not just about Israel or deliverance for the oppressed.
It is not retaliation for 911. It is the right response to a spiritual wake up call.
This is a spiritual war, perhaps the first of global proportion. Regardless of what
nations think or plan, God is on the move according to His own purpose. God had
ancient unfinished business with the land of Abraham. This is part of the reason
our sacrifice is so precious to Him. In Iraq, Jewish exiles were held prisoner.
Ancient Iraq was also the place of captivity for the vessels stolen from the Temple.
The ravaging of Iraq's national treasures was in type, vengeance for the former
ransacking of God's temple. The rampant hostage situation is a manifestation of
a spiritual prince of the power of the air over the region. Expect it to be "copied"
elsewhere. The spiritual powers over the region are deep darkness. In all this,
do not forget: Iraq is the land where Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord!
Rebecca came to Isaac at Beer Lahai Roi, the well where God visited Hagar, and she
knew Him as The-One-Who-Lives-and Sees-Me.
Genesis 16:13, "Then she called
the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, 'Have
I also here seen Him who sees me?""
In her distress, God made a covenant concerning Ishmael, though he was not the promised
son. The literal name is Well of the Living (One) My Seer. This has many implications.
Living water is being poured out for DIVINE ENCOUNTERS, SUPERNATURAL KNOWLEDGE AND
SIGNS AND WONDERS. The gifts of the Spirit for supernaturally anointed evangelism
by words of knowledge, dreams, visions and personal encounters with God is upon
us. Jesus said in John 7:37
"Anyone who is thirsty let him come to me and drink."
Expect women, backsliders, and sinners
to be especially touched in this outpouring. You will meet persons just as Jesus
met the Samaritan woman at the well. Our steps will be ordered by the Lord. You
will plan to go a certain way at a certain time and circumstances will take you
another way for these encounters and ministry. There will be a dramatic increase
of supernatural appearances of Christ occurring among the sons of Ishmael, the Arab
nations and throughout the Muslim world; with new power coming on those reaching
out in evangelism. The opposition will be as violent as the beheadings we have seen
in recent times. Martyrdom may accompany this outpouring and harvest.
10 Days of Awe
The number 10 of the servant's camels, and the 10 days which Laban asked Rebecca
to stay longer, remind us of the 10 Days of Awe; a time of repentance and return
just prior to Yom Kippur. On the Day of Atonement, judgment takes place at the mercy
seat in the Holy of Holies. There in heaven, our High Priest, Jesus, has offered
His blood. The Lord says, "I will meet you there," between the cherubim, at the
bema, between mercy and judgment. Expect mercy rather than judgment in the immediate
season. Expect God to meet our nation and extend His mercy in these days.
"The (name) chosen for this one (camel) is WAR." The camels of God are coming.[2]
They are visitations -- contractions to bring Christ's appearing. The Holy Spirit
directs them. God's bride will water them. Not all of them will be so difficult
as "WAR." Expect spiritual revival for three years, especially igniting the 30 and
younger set. Focus on colleges and a revival of patriotism. The last camel to come
is named "Persecution." That camel will carry Rebecca home.
"JOSEPH IS STILL ALIVE."
The favor of God is still on George Bush.
"You prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs
over." Psalm 23:5. "And they told him, saying, 'Joseph
is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.' And Jacob's heart
stood still, because he did not believe them. But when they told him all the words
which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to
carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived." Genesis 45:26, 27.
The former prophecies about the burning bush are still true. A second term will
invigorate Israel while infuriating many enemies. In the Inaugural Watch of 2000,
we received a word from Genesis 45:5-8 about the President as a Joseph in our time.
For seven years of famine there are three aspects of promise: Joseph was anointed
to preserve posterity, provide food for his house and the nations, and save lives
by a great deliverance. Seven years from 9/11 would include a second term. Expect
intervention regarding abortion, provision and recovery in economic downturn, wisdom
and success in the war on terror. We see Exodus 3:2, Burning Bush II, again. Look
for a "domino effect" in the Senate, the Supreme Court and other institutions in
connection with this administration. God has chosen the Psalm 15 man to sit in
His holy hill.
"THE PERFECT STORM."
Hurricanes, various storms and natural disasters
are interrelated with heavenly activity. They reveal the clash of kingdoms. "Beer
Lai Roi, observe it is between Kadesh (a sanctum) and Bered (hail)." The evil determination
of the prince of the power of the air and the righteous acts of the saints in prayer
and fasting are colliding. For inhabitants of the earth caught between the two,
expect it to be very violent. In this clash of kingdoms, visitation is coming on
American Jewry. The "Living (One) My Seer" is knocking on the doors of many. Suddenly,
many will see Him just as Hagar did.
"NOW I WILL ARISE."
The Lord will fight for Jerusalem this year.
Isaiah 33:17-19, "Your
eyes will see the King in His beauty; they will see the land that is very far off.
Your heart will meditate on terror: 'Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?' You will not see a fierce people, a people of
obscure speech, beyond perception, of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand."
The word comes from a root meaning to have intelligence; separate, be cunning, discern.
Expect new grace regarding national intelligence against terror.
Isaiah 33:10, 20, 35 "'Now I will
arise,' says the Lord; 'Now I will be exalted, now I will lift Myself up. Look upon
Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home,
a tabernacle that will not be taken down; not one of its stakes will ever be removed,
nor will any of its cords be broken. For I will defend this city to save it for
my own sake and for My servant David's sake.'"
Expect Lebanon and Syria, their armies including Hamas and Hezbollah, to be hobbled
as a horse limited in battle. Isaiah 14:24-27
"The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, 'Surely as I have thought,
so it shall come to pass. And as I have purposed, so it shall stand: That I will
break the Assyrian in My land, and on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then His
yoke will be removed from them. And his burden removed from their shoulders. This
is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth. And this is the hand that
is stretched out over all the nations. For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who
will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?'"
Assad will be bridled for a time. Isaiah 14:
33-34 "'Therefore,' thus says the Lord concerning the king
of Assyria: 'He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come
before it with a shield, nor build a siege mound against it. By the way he came,
by the same shall he return; and he shall not come into this city.'"[3]
"A posterity shall serve Him."
The Lord is raising up a new generation of servants.
They will be fierce young lions. For their sakes, we must choose godly government
and righteous leaders who fear the Lord and keep His ways.
Psalm 22:30, 31, "A posterity
shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, they will
come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has done
this."
Expect valiant "young men," a generation of spiritual offspring of men and
women in America, in the church, in Israel and the nations, who know their God as
Daniels. A revival of spiritual patriotism is advancing.
INCREASE
Expect economic recovery. The personal wealth of
believers will be blessed. Isaiah 37:30-32,
"This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such
as grows of itself, and the second year what springs from the same; Also in the
third year sow and reap, Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. The remnant
who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and shall
bear fruit upward. For out of Zion shall go a remnant and those who escape from
Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."
The Lord will provide.
Genesis 22:14, "And Abraham called
the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, 'In the
Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.'"
Keep your eye on Mt. Moriah this year. Expect the Lord to recover America's economic
strength, partially by blessing Bush economics as He blessed Joseph in Egypt, and
additionally, as God remembers our sacrifice in war.
Genesis 22:16-17, "'By Myself
I have sworn,' says the LORD, 'because you have done this thing, and have not withheld
your son, your only son—blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply
your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore;
and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.'"
America's sons will shine as stars in the night
sky.
"The eagle will take its prey." Certain lead terrorists will be taken suddenly.
Expect a disruption in the terror hierarchy.[4]
Isaiah 31:8-9 "'The Assyrian shall
fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of mankind shall devour him. But he
shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor. He shall
cross over to his stronghold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner,'
says the Lord, 'whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.'"
America's reproach has been rolled away for another year. Our name is inscribed
in the book of the living. 2 Chronicles 7:14,
"if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
The ardent prayers and repentance among the saints in this land have been heard
on high.
"YOU HAVE ANSWERED ME."
Psalm 22:21, "Save Me from
the lion's mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me."
The prayer and fasting of the saints have
reached heaven and God has responded to the earth. Press in to full breakthrough.
God promised Abraham "If there are ten righteous" He will save the city. As a people,
we are carrying heavy baggage from days in the wilderness and political correctness,
but a remnant is on track, nationally and in the church. The sin that clings to
our society will be a heavy burden to bear. Expect the fire of division on social
issues, and expression of individual rights between former amiable groups. God has
begun to separate wheat from chaff. This fire will be uncomfortable for the wicked.
Those who have the Spirit of God will be blamed for many things. Former dialogue
and cooperation between those in light and those in darkness may turn to rancor.
Now is the time for believers to be salt and light.
A wedding feast on the holiest fast day of the year seemed incongruent yet perfectly
fitted at the same time. We fasted until the time of the wedding feast. Zechariah
prophesied that the "fast
of the seventh month (Yom Kippur) shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts
for the house of Judah." In the fulfillment
of Isaiah 4 following the war between God and those nations who oppose Him, a fountain
of Living Water is opened in Jerusalem flowing east and west when Sukkot, the Feast
of Tabernacles, is celebrated following Yom Kippur. The new Jerusalem is almost
ready. She is even at the door. Isaiah 4:5,
6, "Then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of
Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of
a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. And there
will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge,
and for a shelter from storm and rain."
Isaiah 35:3,4, "Strengthen
the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense
of God; He will come and save you.'"
We encourage believers everywhere to lay hold of these promises and expect Jehovah
Jireh to come down. We watch over the coalition nations with our prayers for these
blessings as well and invite you to prayerful agreement.
[1] A few days prior to this, Bonnie dreamt that the spirit of America, in
the form of a woman, was singing Psalm 40. The Spirit of God has stirred up the
ancient spirit of America. She sang, "He has set my feet upon a rock" pronouncing
the words as Iraq. The Psalm says, "He has brought me up out of the miry clay."
[2] We mentioned before an open vision of Elazar and his ten camels. Bonnie
stepped into the spirit realm to find herself standing on a desert floor that stretched
for miles into the night. A man in desert garb came trotting out of the night toward
her. It was Abraham's servant Elazar. He led the first camel in a train of ten all
tethered together spaced one behind the other. As they passed by she saw they were
laden with bundles; burdens, gifts, provisions and tests ordained to prepare and
adorn the bride of Christ.
[3] For several years in my spirit I've seen images of an army amassing in
the Bekaa Valley and suddenly overflowing the sides of the mountains toward the
south and east; like a flurry of cockroaches. We are vigilant in prayer regarding
this fifth column of terror.
[4] On September 17, I received an impression of three simultaneous images.
What I describe as a "watcher" from the book of Daniel, a heavenly agent wearing
an embroidered sash around his waist. The image reminded me of a story told of General
Washington during Valley Forge when an angel visited him to show three perils to
come. The watcher I saw was holding the severed head of a man by the hair. I thought
the image of the man held by the hair to be Zarqawi and beside him two more. The
scene changed, and I saw a bright dome over Baghdad city center, particularly the
avenue where Saddam erected two giant swords made of enemy fighter helmets cross.
I was uncertain if the sudden bright cloud was supernatural or a natural explosion.
Now there was only one sword instead of two, turned down as if broken. The scene
changed again, and I saw the top of St. Peter's in Rome, and its bells were pealing
a good announcement over the surrounding countryside. I reported that I believed
I had seen that the two Italian aid workers taken hostage would be released in safety.
Three days later the media falsely reported they had been killed. They were later
released alive. I expect the rest of the vision to have its fulfillment as well.
Evil men who have lived by the sword will reap what they have sown.
