I asked the Lord, "What does - "It's time to pull out all the stops!" -
mean?
I sensed the Lord saying, "It's time to challenge every faithful reader
to become a faithful intercessor for this ministry!" [THE ELIJAH LIST]
-----------------------------
I SENSED THE LORD SAYING. . .
-----------------------------
I sensed the Lord saying, "Multitudes have received spiritual blessings
and encouragement from this ministry and yet "stop" at receiving the
blessing. Many have made "spiritual withdrawals" for a long time but
the time has come that they must begin to make "spiritual deposits" in
order to receive ongoing revelation and blessing. I sense the ones who
begin thanking God and praying for this ministry regularly will find a
richer revelation coming forth from this ministry to them. As they
invest in this ministry through prayer support they will receive a
greater "withdrawal" of revelation of God's word through this ministry
and protect it's future.
In the Spirit I heard the Lord say, "Steve, I am making the Elijah
List
ministry known in the earth-- not just to be a blessing to many people
but so the many people that get blessed from this ministry will in turn
pray for you and cover this ministry. For the greater the exposure in
ministry to this earth will mean the greater the prayer coverage you
will need for it's the "word that proceeds from My Mouth" that the
enemy
hates. I am expanding your ministry in order to get more people to pray
for you - not just that they get blessed by you and your ministry!"
I don't want to sound selfish Steve, but I sense when people read
prophetic words on your list or hear the tapes and read the books that
your ministry offers that we all fail to "thank" God for these vessels
that are being used to bless us and fail to pray for God to bless them
in return and protect them and their families.
------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN GOD USES US . . .IT'S A SIGN THAT WE NEED MORE PRAYER!
------------------------------------------------------------
When God uses any of us it's not a sign that we have arrived - it's a
sign that we need more prayer!
And especially for you Steve and the staff on the Elijah List. Your
readers (all readers) need to learn to thank God for this ministry by
praying for you and the staff and every person's name that they are
blessed by through the Elijah list instead of just getting blessed and
taking it all for granted.
I will be praying more for everyone there and for the ones God is using
to bless me through your ministry.
I sense the time is here to call "all readers" to pray and for those
who
have received so much encouragement for so long might be challenged to
even fast regularly for this ministry!
While I am at this - I don't bet - but if I did, I bet very few readers
on the Elijah List who read prophetic words rarely take time to send a
quick email thanking the writers and letting them know that they are
even being blessed by them and that the writer's words are such a
confirmation to them personally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"IF THEY ONLY KNEW THAT THESE [ELIJAH LIST WRITERS] NEED TO HEAR
FROM THOSE HOW ARE RECEIVING A BLESSING FROM THEIR WORDS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If they only knew that these writers need to hear from those who are
receiving a blessing from their words. If they only knew what a writer
goes through before and after giving a word, they would realize that
there is little glory and a lot of warfare in doing this.
Discouragement can only be overcome by Encouragement!
I think it's time we pull out all the stops - since the enemy is - and
challenge every reader to become an intercessor and an encourager for
you and your ministry for such a time as this!

Note from Steve Shultz, Publisher, THE ELIJAH LIST:
A number of months ago, our prophetic intercessor, Lisa Cooke
told me that the Lord told her I needed 5000 (that's five THOUSAND)
intercessors.
Right now, the Elijah List has 500 intercessors on what we call
the ELIJAH LIST A-TEAM. After reading this word below (I'm a bit
embarrassed about it,) I felt that since I received it from
Bill Yount, ---that I should go ahead and post it.
One of the reasons is that last night, I had the worst migraine
I've had in over 3 years. It was awful!! Derene has had way more
than her share of migraines in the last month. We both know that
our prayer coverage needs to GO UP!
If you want to be one of our "A-TEAM" intercessors to receive
periodic prayer needs via email for THE ELIJAH LIST, for our
individual
family members' needs (including my own), and our employees,
please send an email to Derene (my wife) at:
elijahlist3@mindspring.com
and in the SUBJECT write: "ADD ME TO THE ELIJAH LIST INTERCESSORS
A-TEAM."
By the way, even if you don't join the A-team (notices posted
usually no more than once per week), please do keep us in
continual prayer. Right now, please pray against migraine
headaches and any occultic/witchcraft origin that might come
against both Derene and me. Also, please pray for our family
and staff for protection, blessing, and the favor of God.
Bless you all for your prayers for us!!
