NOTE FROM STEVE SHULTZ, THE ELIJAH LIST
Early Election morning, the 7th-- Starla, one of my friends and
intercessors in California sent this to me. Now,
on November 24, 17 days later, the Lord has been prompting me to RE-PUBLISH
this Call to prayer and proclamation of God's Grace and Mercy.
I think I ought to obey, don't you? I
have to tell you, California. . .. You have some of the most zealous
intercessors out there. What is it about California that has produced so many
intense and devoted intercessors?
California INTERCESSORS -- Please don't stop PROCLAIMING The LORD'S WILL BE
DONE in this election. You don't have to use any other words than that. The
LORD knows HIS
WILL. Our duty is to use our prophetic gift of PROCLAIM into the heavens,
"YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR
WILL BE DONE." I
do believe California Intercessors have a PIVOTAL part to play in this
election. We're looking
to you California to keep praying. We'll pray with you, but you have much
authority to proclaim here. What? you ask. See Chuck Pierce's Word about
California being the TURNING POINT in this election:

And, as this Word and Call to intercession (below) says, we call on and
trust in the amazing
and awesome and indescribable GRACE and MERCY of our God!
Anyway, in light of all the
current news-- I felt that this intercession and the
supernatural experience Starla
had would be of some encouragement to you.
Blessings,
Steve Shultz

PRAYING WITH THE LORD TODAY--FOR GRACE AND MERCY --- Intercessions with
Starla
From Starla: Rabbitale@aol.com
November 7th
(I awoke early this morning to the movement of a strong wind outdoors.)
This morning I am really feeling moved to pray for an outpouring of GRACE
upon men and women. I am feeling it for the nation in general. It is an
intercessory cry for mercy. The following Scriptural phrase is come to me:
"For the Grace of God has been made apparent to all people." I don’t
know where it is from...the call to prayer is that the grace of God will be
made apparent to all.
I am also sensing a need to pray for grace in families. For children to
understand grace. And, too, for grace to replace shame: to uproot it, supplant
it in the lives of individuals.
This is a general call but very strong. I have felt it for maybe 20 or more
minutes now, but it has not let up .I want to go into the Word and look up the
verses about grace….
There needs to be a grace awakening within the Body of Christ. We have not
yet tapped the depths of grace. We know so little about applying grace. We
understand so little of its power, its ways. I am crying now. I want to know
this!
Early this morning, before 6 a.m., when I first awoke, I was thinking on
the Personality of God that He could do such awesome things in the hearts of
hard men and women. I had a flash vision of the nature of humankind
(unregenerate) and with it came a horrible smell of something rotting. I
wondered that God would even find something to restore in us. I began to
marvel at such GRACE that could restore us!… Who is this Divine Person,
that He could do such a thing? Surely the power does not lie in the value
or properties of the thing restored!…
I am weeping now. Weeping because our hearts have been so hard that we have
declared the hardest hearts reprobate and unrenewable. We have not prayed for
those hard cases with believing hearts and the Lord is displeased with us! It
is not for their sins that their hearts are unrenewable—it has been for the
hardness of our own hearts, for the dimness of our own eyes, for the
limitations of our own minds. …
I’m in travail now…. The Lord would have us pray now for grace to pray
for those hardened judges and magistrates and persons in places of authority
as if their hearts were baby-soft and easily permeable to the matchless graces
of Jesus Christ!!
And I say, Yes, Lord! Yes, you may have Your way with them and with
us. I confess, Lord, that I, that we, YOUR BODY, have not taken seriously our
work to pray for them. We have not prayed for the unregenerate masses that
line our streets, flank our neighborhoods, wait in line with us at the local
grocers. I have prayed for Africa, I have prayed for Asia, but have I prayed
for America?
…We have not yet begun to release the grace of Christ!
There are unreleased vials, aqueducts full, of the grace of Christ
which have yet to be delivered, but I see these as on the conveyer belt of
time. They are passing us by, unused, because they remain yet stoppered,
unopened by the Church of God! …Seasons and eras when the grace of Christ
would have changed the course of history had they been released. I am weeping
now as I write.
UNLEASH! UNSTOP! THE WALLS OF GRACE, THE DAM OF GRACE—LET IT FLOW!
I feel the Lord’s tender mercy and His Hand upon me. I will, Starla, I
will. You have but to ask. Ask and it shall be given you. (There is no
describing the way this marvelous promise hits me.) A series of continuous
cries has gone out from me like a human shofar.
AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH...
The Lord wants to do something for us IN GRACE as he did in the days of the
Flood. He is asking me to release the FOUNTAINS OF THE DEEP and the
STOREHOUSES OF HEAVEN. Singing in the Spirit, the sound of a shofar—clear
and high. I am turned to the North, the East, the South, and the West. I hear
in the ears of my spirit the crash of the walls as in the walls of Jericho,
the walls of the DAM OF SALVATION! So tiny, so small, so seemingly useless to
the whole of this great plan—why am I allowed to witness this?
It is a symbol (I am yet weeping!) of the whole way of God’s grace to all
of mankind. That we should experience any of all that He ALONE has done, is
itself great, disproportionate GRACE!!!
I just got down on my knees and had to sing, "How Great That Thou
Art!" at the top of my lungs.
WOW! I am so humbled, but so, so grateful. LORD GOD, Almighty Creator,
create in my heart place for the bigness of Your love! Make me an instrument
of Your grace to this languishing planet. Consume me with this new baptism of
GRACE and set Your Body aflame with the Truth of it! Purge from us the forms
and doctrines and personal opinions/dogmas that war against it. Make us new
wineskins for I sense so much that in answer to our prayers You have released
something magnificent onto this earth. Give us wineskins that will hold the
wine! For Jesus’ sake! AMEN.
