From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I "stumble" into the prophetic far more accurately and precisely than if I had planned my way into it. I met Anne Elmer in France and asked her, "What if I publish this book about you being transported all around the world by the Lion of Judah?" (that's Jesus, Yeshua, Himself of course). Little did I know that it would be translated into at least five languages! Transported by the Lion of Judah is the first book we EVER published and still remains one of our all time best-selling books.
When someone gets to meet the real Jesus IN ANY FORM, I want to listen to him or her. Such is the case with this word by Anne. Let me tell you emphatically that what Anne Elmer shares below was received by revelation by that same Lion of Judah! Please read it, and then I PRAY you will avail yourself of her book, either in hard copy form, eBook, or even in audio book in which you will hear her British "accent" as she shares her incredible journey with the Lion of Judah Himself. It changed MY outlook on the Church and on God's people FOREVER! NO EXAGGERATION HERE EITHER!
Oh, and don't forget to get Bill Johnson's and Paul Keith Davis' teachings on THIS TIME HE'S COMING AS A LION!
P.S. You will hardly believe some of the things you hear or read in Transported by the Lion of Judah where Anne leaves her hospital bed in the South of France and is then transported all over the world. But my exhortation is: BELIEVE THEM! The stories of Anne's journey with Jesus will simply amaze you?that I promise!

Anne Elmer:
"What Times Are These?"
What times are these? Difficult times, a time of recession, times of change, times of transition, the end times?
So much is being said at the moment about the times we are living in that I felt nudged to read once more that beautiful passage in
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under Heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
If you have time, I recommend that you look into the Hebrew meanings of some of those comparisons. But the general message is that the God who lives outside time (that concept is too big for my imagination) wants us to understand that everything has its time.
At any moment in our time, there are individuals, families, communities and even countries experiencing some or all of these things mentioned above.
What time is it for you at the moment? If you are living in good times personally and spiritually, then be strengthened and prepared for the next season, because surely it will come. If you are going through a difficult time, then be encouraged because it will have its season and its close. God uses the times and seasons in our lives to test us, train us, and prepare us for what is coming next.
One thing you can be sure of, whatever time you think it is for you, the Lord has a plan for your life, and you are alive today because God wants it that way (read Psalm 139 to be reassured). He knows where you are living, what you are doing or not doing, who is around you, and it is more than probable that God has put you right there.
You are Living in Your Time
What time are you living in? I want to say, you are living in your time; the time for you. God's plan is that you are alive now to help fulfill His purposes on the earth. Yes, our seasons of life change, but Jesus' Words don't. He still says to His followers, "Go in My name and make disciples" (see Matthew 28:19). He still tells us to heal the sick, cast out demons and speak in other tongues (see Mark 16:16-18). He still invites us, as He did Peter, to get out of the boat (see Matthew 14:29).
Maybe you don't agree, maybe you are thinking, "The Lord says, 'Be still and know that I am God,'" and of course you are right, but that time of being still will pass as well. And even if we are being still, then we must still pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), for those who treat us poorly (Luke 6:28), for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:2), and many, many more.
Maybe your argument is that you are a nobody who can do nothing worthwhile. Maybe the circumstances of your birth are nothing to be proud of. Please understand that the God who is outside time as we know it does not sit and scratch His head and say, "Oh dear, another baby! What are we going to do with that one, we need to rewrite the plan for mankind!"
My friend, you are not a nobody, you are not an accident. You are important in God's Kingdom. God wants you here, now, today. You are not here because somewhere in your family line a contraceptive pill was forgotten or someone drank too much, or someone was abused. You are not here because way back in the generations something secret happened in a hidden place. No! You are here today because God has a plan for your life. Just look back through two or three generations, and see what lengths God went to to secure your birth.
In my own life here in western Europe, my parents and grandparents survived two world wars. My paternal grandfather, in the first year of his marriage, had a very serious accident in a stone quarry blast. This took his sight, but his life was preserved. By chance? No, the will of God for a future generation. My maternal grandfather survived many accidents working in a coal mine. Was he just very lucky? No. God wanted him to give life to my mother, so that I and my children and my grandchildren would be born. I haven't mentioned plane crashes, road accidents, natural disasters, and all the other dangers God protects us from in order to fulfill His purposes.
What times are these? They are your times, they are my times. It is time for us to be the people God is calling us to be. Let's do it in His strength, in His name, and in His time.
