Special Note from Steve
Shultz:
"Here's how God often works:
First he gives a word to one of his prophetic people. Then, a natural sign
follows which often confirms the prophetic word. Finally, the spiritual
reality hits and the Word comes to pass for the Church in exactly the way
the Lord intended. This Word by Bill Yount, re-published below, first
released Dec. 17, 2002 may well be such a word. In light of yesterday's
unprecedented power outage, we may have seen a natural sign soon to be
followed by a spiritual one." -- Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST

 "POWER
OUTAGES" WILL SHAKE GOD'S HOUSE IN 2003! or "TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW. . . I
WANT TO ROMANCE MY BRIDE!"

Date: Dec 17, 2002
In the Spirit I saw a huge
power control switch that seemed to regulate and control how much power and
light was being released into God's House to His people. I then heard the
Lord command a strong Angel. . .
"Turn the lights down low..."
The angel's hand pulled down on the power switch to lower the lights, but to
us who were in God's House, it appeared to be "lights out" leaving us with
seemingly no power and no presence.
Great darkness seemed to envelope us. Power was seemingly going out of many
ministries that God had given to His people. During this black-out,
unanswered prayer increased. The darkness seemed to be overcoming many in
their walk with the Lord, not to mention the large number of ministers
quitting their God-given ministries and assignments, unable to see any light
at the end of the tunnel.
"My God, why have you forsaken me?"
A great cry came up out of God's House. "My God, why have you forsaken me?"
Every one in the House began groping and staggering to find the "power box "
in their churches in order to flip the breaker switch to get the lights to
come back on. But all too soon we discovered we had no power on earth, or in
ourselves, to rid us from the apparent "black out."
I then saw this same strong Angel bringing a candle stick and placing it in
the midst of each church that was crying out of darkness to God. God was
answering us by sending candle light. God's people were drawn to the candle
stick as a candle was lit by an unseen hand.
I then heard the Lord speak to the strong Angel words that pierced our
darkness of hell.... "I want to romance My Bride!"
What seemed forever became a suddenly!
The atmosphere of God's House suddenly changed from spiritual blackout to an
atmosphere of intimate romance by candle light. The candle light gave just
enough light for each of us to sense His love for us personally. We could
not see ourselves, our ministries, or even one another-- for everything but
Him became obscure outside the short range of the candle's flame.
We had only enough light to see Him!
I heard the lover of my soul whisper. "Now I can know you heart to heart and
face to face."
This season seemed like seconds in His presence. With the candle stick
burning between us and Him, we drew closer not noticing the flame melting
our hearts and consuming our carnality and sins that were deeply embedded
inside of us. We could see His face through the flame that drew us closer as
we decreased in His presence, being consumed in His love. He then spoke,
"Now - You are the light of the world!"
We exploded on the inside from His spoken word to our Spirit. A flame of
fire ignited above our heads. At first it did not appear to shine that
bright --but out of this season of being romanced by Him and intoxicated
with spiritual intimacy, each of us had become like a "forever burning
candle."
A City Set on a Hill
I sense I then received revelation of what God was saying. "You ( all
together ) are the light of the world - a city ( as there are many lights in
a city at night - that's what we were! ) set on a hill that cannot be
hidden!"
As we each came forth from the place of loving to be with Him and abiding in
His love for us, we all together had more than enough light to expel the
darkness in our midst! We then understood the purpose of the "power outage"
in God's House.
The Power had to be seemingly turned off first to bring us totally back to
Him. Only then could the true power and light be switched back on - inside
of us! "Christ in us the hope of Glory!"
In closing, I heard the Lord say. "More than ever you will need Me - in the
year 2003! When your lights and power go out - come to Me - I will be
there!"
