A PASTOR'S DREAM FROM THE LORD: THE SHEEP WHO WERE AFRAID

Note from Steve Shultz, Publisher

THE ELIJAH LIST

Pastor Dean Hollingsworth's prophetic dream from the Lord is "spot on" as the Lord reveals to him the REAL PICTURE of His sheep. The dream applies to ALL SHEEP--- Pastors, parishioners, and you know, just folks. How many times have we prayed, "Lord, show us what you see from YOUR perspective!" Here is a direct answer to that prayer. If you've never prayed that prayer---well, I've prayed it for you. God gives prophetic revelation, so our paradigm (or world view of things) will CHANGE. The point is to SHIFT our thinking from what it IS, to what is SHOULD be. Blessings to you, Steve Shultz

Dear Steve, I had a dream last night. I believe it was from the Lord. I woke up and started having my quiet time. I was reading in Ezekiel and started on chapter 34 verse one and only got through verse 6 when I stopped and wrote a "Pastors Prayer" in my Bible. " May I, strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the injured. May I bring back the strays and search for the lost. Through the Power of the Holy Ghost, In Jesus Holy Name Amen. June 1, 1999. Then I remembered the dream....

It was twilight. All these sheep were in a fenced in area, they were making no noise, just quietly waiting, and I realized it was a holding area of a slaughter house. Yet there was no gate. It looked just like you would expect in every way yet no gate. It was as if there had never been one. It was just open yet the sheep did not dare to go out to their freedom. There was an entire flock in there but they were afraid for some reason to leave. So I went in and got one sheep to follow me out. When it got out side of the slaughter house holding area it leaped for joy. The sight affected me. I felt laughter from deep inside. I only led one sheep out. But a sheep inside saw the first one leap for joy so it came out, and another followed that one and in short order the whole flock decided it was leaving. This was repeated three times! I take this to mean three flocks were delivered. I realized what kept the sheep inside the holding area. A False Gate. This gate is called Fear. And it is maintained by Lies. I believe God is raising up a generation of leaders who will have no fear. In the dream I felt no fear. I never even thought to fear. The power to save and deliver in the future will be greater than we expected!
