From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Lately there have been a number of prophetic words concerning California, especially as it relates to judgment. Our stance has always been to pray into the mercies of God based on Micah 6:8, "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
I've sought the counsel of a number of prophetic voices who write for the ElijahList and who also act as our advisors. This short counsel by Chuck Pierce seems to best sum up the advice I'm receiving. Here's what Chuck says:
"Dear Steve,
I'm sending you a prayer focus for the next 3 days. When you introduce the focus, write the people and say you are getting several words sent to you about California, particularly San Francisco and Los Angeles. Tell them to start praying that a move of God will break out in California - that will CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE. - Chuck Pierce"
That sounds like an excellent way for the Body of Christ to proceed! Here, by the way, are some best-selling resources by Chuck Pierce.
Blessings,
Steve Shultz

Dear Changing Intercessors and Saints:
We are getting so many wonderful comments from the 3-Day Prayer Focus (click here to view). These three days will be linked with a new sound being released, causing a new glory to break forth in you. Enjoy and enter in! The River is Rising!
Word of the Lord
I recently heard the Lord say the following:
"There is a song within you that I have placed from the beginning. Now is the time for that song to come forth.
"These are days of deliverance for My people. I will deliver you from those strategies that would stop your new beginning. Many of the strategies are within your soul. I am preparing a people that will wear redemption, joy and power into the future. I am preparing a people filled with My glory.
"My name rests within you and now is the time for My name to come alive within your inner being. I am ready to burn away that which has profaned My name within you. I am ready for My glory to be seen upon My people.
"Your song is important. Your sound will create new moves within the earth. So let the sound within you come forth. THE SHOUT OF THE KING must come forth in you at this time. Worry not how you sound, but SHOUT THE KINGLY SHOUT that dwells deep down in your inner being.
"MY SHOUT will break the soulish power that is resisting your change. This will cause a flow of My Spirit to rise within you and the gifts that have been quenched will come alive again. My gifts create joy.
"Your sound can uncover what the enemy is withholding and hiding from you. Your sound will cause the River of Revelation in you to be released. If you will allow Me to fill your heart with joy, you will be able to hear the Word I have for you.
"I AM bringing a new Word very near to you that will give you the strength you need to press through into your next contract, into the next business level, into the next level of favor. This is a Word that will cause you to secure your next portion. Sound uncovers what the enemy has covered.
"This is a day of fanning the glory in your blood and not just trying to dissect and remove the iniquity that has resisted My Word. If you'll fan the glory it will push out the iniquity that has twisted your bloodline and caused you to miss opportunities in the past.
"If you will fan the glory you will hear My counsel! You have a glory that I have placed within you that will begin to move! Your heart will rejoice, and you will have strength to embrace the Word I'm trying to bring to you.
"You are trying to hear Me without having the movement of My glory in your blood. You must hear Me NOW, but the Word I will speak will bring many changes to your life.
"My threshing sledge is coming to winnow and remove old iniquitous structures that have caused you to resist harvest increase. Don't fear the separating power that I am bringing upon your life. The song of glory in you has been blocked, but I AM sending a wind of release.
"Your blood has been moving slowly, but now your blood will sing a song of deliverance. Your blood and glory is awakening and will sing a new song. Hear My Word, for it is very close to you! Tell your flesh to rest in hope because your blood is waking up to MY will.
"My Word is filled with fire and will burn out the passivity that has resisted My movement in you. You will win the war over your flesh and wake up the glory in your blood. This will cause your flesh to rest in hope.
"I have yet to reveal to you the breaking forth of your entry way. My shout will work inside of you. Do not put your eyes on men or circumstances around you.
"Let My shout do its work until it comes into the atmosphere that encircles and surrounds you. Once My shout enters the atmosphere, you will start seeing the breaking of the new day."
3-Day Prayer Focus
Day 1: Read Ezekiel 28; Isaiah 14; Zechariah 3 and 4. Ask the Lord to show you what wealth has been hidden from you by the enemy. Ask the Lord to reveal the sound of deliverance that is within you! Hear the Lord rise up on your behalf and tell the enemy, "Enough is enough!"
Make a list of every hindrance and obstacle in your path. Shout GRACE "eight times" to each blockage. Declare you will see your portion that has been hidden!
Day 2: Read Psalm 16, Isaiah 60, Ephesians 4:25-5:21. Fan your glory until you sense the Lord rising in you in a new way. Do this by taking off anger! Do this by breaking procrastination! Do this by looking in the mirror and encouraging yourself spiritually. Look beyond the outer reflection. Do this by singing a new spiritual song! Put on a new glory!
Memorize two key Scriptures from the passage in Ephesians. Ask the Lord to show you the new portion He has for you.
Day 3: Read Numbers 23, especially verse 21. Notice how the enemy wishes to curse you, but the shout within you causes even the enemy to bless you.
Shout "seven times" against false altars that have been built against your life and watch the blessings of the Lord open up over you. Read Matthew 21, Mark 11:10, John 12:13.
Know that the Lord is going before you to deliver you! Sing Hosanna to the Lord!
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
