A WORD BY BOB JONES AND KEITH DAVIS

NOTE FROM STEVE SHULTZ, THE ELIJAH LIST

There is a point to prophets--an understatement of course. If you listen to a prophet--and if you trust in what a true prophet reveals--and if you DO what a prophet reveals, you will SUCCEED. Here is one such word for the Intercessors of the church--from a prophet--that we must heed. [Read the word by Bob Jones below]

2 Chr 20:20 me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God, and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed." (NAS)

The Lord recently revealed a vision to Bob disclosing the predominant enemy that the church is having to contend with at the present time. In the vision, Bob saw a rattlesnake that had been released against the Body of Christ. Bob's purpose in the vision was to capture the snake and reveal it to the church so that she could begin spiritual warfare against it. He was not given the authority to kill the snake himself, rather reveal it to the church so that she could begin the necessary warfare.

The rattlesnake represents the spirit of confusion intended to "rattle" the minds of the people and clouding vision. Its purpose is to make concise decision-making more difficult and disrupt prayer, worship, and intense study of the Scriptures. It will also attempt to come against church services creating confusion and disruptions.

Once a spirit of this nature has been brought out of darkness into light, the victory is only one step away. It is now the job of the church to intercede and ask the Lord for victory over this spirit declaring that we have not received a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. This will have both individual and corporate application.
