Agnes Ebedi: "The Lord Said: 'This Is the Church's Finest Hour!'"

From the Desks of Steve Shultz and Julie A. Smith:

Are you ready to help shift nations?

That is exactly what God is calling us to do in this hour. Some of you reading this have had a burning in your heart for a particular nation(s), and have been praying, year after year, to see a godly shift...well, that is going to happen!

God has heard our fervent and faithful prayers, and we will see them come to pass! You'll read much about this in Agnes Ebedi's recent word in which she shares a powerful dream:

As I continued to pray about this dream, I heard the Spirit of God say that across the globe, THIS IS THE CHURCH'S FINEST HOUR! Just as I was granted an audience with this leader in my dream, many Believers (those who have built history with God in the secret place; in prayer; in praise and worship) will likewise begin to be sought out by leaders of nations for divine strategies to build their economies, and the different spheres of their societies.

I'll never forget what the Lord told me (Julie) years ago, "When the Spirit of Wisdom rests on a nation, everything prospers." Some of you reading this will be the ones who God raises up to speak godly wisdom to national leaders, giving them divine strategies from the Lord.

As the Lord told Agnes, "This Is the Church's Finest Hour!" ... and you are a part of it! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Dream: The Enemy's Mission Aborted

I had a POWERFUL, POWERFUL dream recently. In this dream, I was standing in a huge mansion. It had several rooms with several hallways. I noticed, however, that it was pitch dark. As I walked through one of the hallways, I could see several people who seemed to be packing their bags in a hurry, like they were moving or getting ready to evacuate.

Suddenly, right in front of me stood a global leader—the president of a nation in which there is some unrest right now. As I looked at him, it all made sense. I became aware that he had invaded the United States of America with a particular intention to attack the Church of America. As I looked at him, he gritted his teeth and looked back at me with a cold stare. He seemed bent on a decision to destroy several nations.

I gently began to witness to him about the love of Jesus. As I did, to my SHOCK and utter AMAZEMENT, his eyes began to soften. In that moment, though he spoke no words, I could tell that the power of the love of God had begun to soften his heart, and that the mission of the enemy for destruction had been aborted. I was granted audience with this leader to speak the love, the counsel, and the plans of God to him. Now the peace of God would prevail instead of destruction. Then I suddenly awakened and realized that this was a dream!

This Is the Church's Finest Hour!

As I started to pray about the meaning of this dream, the Father began to speak to me from the book of Daniel about King Nebuchadnezzar. In Daniel 3, we see that he had ill intent toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, but by the sovereign power of the Almighty God, his heart was transformed, and what the enemy intended for evil, God turned for good.

As I continued to pray about this dream, I heard the Spirit of God say that across the globe, THIS IS THE CHURCH'S FINEST HOUR! Just as I was granted an audience with this leader in my dream, many Believers (those who have built history with God in the secret place; in prayer; in praise and worship) will likewise begin to be sought out by leaders of nations for divine strategies to build their economies, and the different spheres of their societies.

As the enemy attempts to bring confusion in these times of chaos and conflict, powerful Christian voices will begin to arise in the Body of Christ who will be like Daniel, as described in Daniel 5:11: "There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him..." (Photo via Piqsels)

Many men and women have sat in the counsel of God, praying that His plans for the nations would be fulfilled. In the same way that I saw the heart of this leader begin to change and turn to God, these men and women shall SUDDENLY see their prayers come to pass, bringing change to their nations!

Access Has Been Granted!

The Father reminded me of an encounter that a minister from my home country, Nigeria, shared some time ago. He was supposed to preach at a ministry crusade which he was leading, but felt that before he could do this, he needed to first give a word from the Lord to the president of that nation. God opened the door, and he was given access to speak to the president. When he walked in, he was warned very firmly that the president would give him, at the most, 10 minutes, and that He should be very concise.

He released the word to the president, and the president was in awe at the accuracy of the counsel of God, and spoke to the minister for over two hours! He appealed to this minister to give him divine strategy to govern the nation he was leading.

Psalm 33:10-11 says, "The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations."

I hear the Spirit of God issuing a charge to the Church in this hour to not be distracted by what the current national and global circumstances may look like. Psalm 2:1-4, 8 states:

"Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against His anointed one. 'Let us break their chains,' they cry, 'and free ourselves from slavery to God.'

"But the one who rules in Heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them...

"Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession."

I hear the Spirit of God saying that it is important for the Church to arise in prayer for the nations like never before, because as we pray, we will see our governments transformed by the power of God. Unrighteous laws shall be overturned, and His righteousness shall be established.

To the Ones Who Have Been "Packing Their Bags"

In the beginning of my dream, I saw many people packing their bags in a dark mansion. I knew that they were thinking they would have to evacuate because of the enemy's invasion, but at the end of my dream, they did not have to evacuate. (Photo via Unsplash)

Recently, many of us have been facing circumstances where the enemy has tried to bring about a shaking in what has been our safe place (in finances, in family relationships, in business, in jobs, and in ministries). But I hear the Spirit of God saying that what the enemy intended for evil, God will cause it to work for our good. The prayers we have prayed over these circumstances have not gone unnoticed before the Father, and where there has been unrest, peace and stability are now being restored.

So right now, I declare Isaiah 54:17 over the Church, our families, our businesses, our ministries, our cities, and our nations! No weapon formed against us shall prosper in Jesus' name! No plot, no scheme, no tactic, no strategy of the enemy shall prevail, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Recently, the Father asked me to begin praying "Psalm 91" protection for the Body of Christ daily. I have been doing this, and right now I pray that God would give His angels charge over our families, our ministries, our businesses, our cities, our nations, and our governmental systems, in Jesus' name! I declare that no harm shall come to us in Jesus' name! I declare that no plague shall come near our dwelling in Jesus' name! I declare that the blessing of the Lord that brings wealth and adds no sorrow with it be released to us NOW, in Jesus' name (Proverbs 10:22).

I call our homes BLESSED! I call our families BLESSED. I call our businesses, jobs, and ministries BLESSED. I call our cities and nations BLESSED, IN JESUS' NAME. If you believe this, SHOUT "AMEN"!

Regardless of the report of the enemy, we believe the report of the Lord! God has blessed us; it cannot be reversed (Numbers 23:20)! I declare that the world is blessed because the Church is in it, in Jesus' name. We shall see the manifestation of the blessing of the Lord in our lives, our families, our cities, and our nations, in Jesus' name!
