From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This is a "multi-dimensional" word about the different kingdoms that exist, and Theresa Phillips gives us a real eye-opener into the different kingdoms. I can tell that this word was burning in her heart. I think she explains things well here in how the different kingdoms function. BUT God saved the BEST Kingdom for last that will never cease nor fade away. Great word!

First here are a couple of awesome resources to go along with this word:

Outrageous Hunger and Tenacity

The Bible says in Matthew 11:12, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."

Daniel expressed in Daniel 7:15, "As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved and anxious within me, and the visions of my head alarmed and agitated me."

When I read these Scriptures, I received a word from the Lord that moves me still—in abundant alarm, excitement, and great desire; increased passion and intimate worship.

I have learned you must speak from experience—you are your own best material. So I will share with you what He is showing me. I am seeing in all, I mean all the meetings I am in, an outrageous hunger, a passion, a drive like never before! People flooding the altars for more. For victory, for healing, for the holy baptism—whatever substance they can get. People are hungry for God. These hungry, sweet people are Christians!

Hunger—holy hunger is groaning in the stomachs of the lovers of God. They are passionate about the signs and wonders. People are becoming consumed with worship. They will not relent at the thought of receiving one drop of glory. They want it!

This very passion will drive out the Lord's enemies. Deliverances will take place. Joy will increase and grace will have conquered the very heart of a man. Souls will run to the House of the Lord and the lost will be saved, the prodigals will come home. This is the word of the Lord. Praise Jesus!

I was standing in the parking lot of the building that houses our ministry, and I was chatting with another tenant of the building, just telling him about the glory of God with signs and wonders...when, I saw a wonderful feather begin to fall. This feather was a so-brilliant white! I began to tell the man about the feathers that have been falling in our meetings. I was convinced he thought I was—well, you know—silly. Then we both began to search the sky for the bird. There was no bird.

He was curious, and he was not a Believer.

Then, right above us shone that white feather, and no bird! He said to me, "Then why are you not grabbing that feather now?" I began to run after the feather, desperate to show him that the presence of God was real. But to my own surprise, he ran after the feather with me—he too wanted it! It escaped us; it swooped back up into the bright blue sky. We were not to recover this gift. Yet, we believed! The man asked more; I stood there for over an hour sharing testimony after testimony. He listened, then he said he believed. Praise God! (That very tenacity is what is going to win the lost and shake back the militant foes.)

The very idea that God could show up in such a manner to this one man made me even more desperate than ever to run after Him and to get even closer still. Then I heard the Lord say, "How you respond will determine your future." That shakes me even now. How we respond to God will determine our future? God, help!

Then and there I decided I needed to know more. I need Him! But, more than just thinking of me, I knew the lost needed Him and I was to present this word to them—the lost, the weary, the wounded and the faint. We need to present words that He will fight for us, He will conquer for us, and most of all, how much He loves us ALL. Then, allow Him to just show up and be His glorious Self!

The Three Kingdoms

The Lord showed me specifically three kingdoms: the kingdom of this world, the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Evidently it is rare these days in Haiti to find anyone who doesn't want to hear about Jesus or be prayed for.

(Port-au-Prince, Haiti)—Baptist Press has published the remarkable story of the saved son of a Voodoo priest, 26-year-old Jean Junior Cineas, who has dedicated his life to bringing his fellow Haitians to Christ. (Photo: Baptist Press)

"It gives me joy to [share Christ]," said Cineas. "I love to do that. It is my life."

As noted in the report, Cineas says voodoo's influence has diminished and many Haitians are now calling on God. In fact, it's reportedly rare for him to meet someone who does not what to be prayed for or hear about Jesus.

"There are a lot of people who came to Jesus from voodoo," he said. "I heard that during the earthquake, my father called on Jesus. He said 'Oh Jesus. I know what You can do.' But I wasn't there. I do not know if it's true."

According to the report, Cineas first heard about the Lord from Baptist missionaries Mark and Peggy Rutledge, whom he leaned on to escape the voodoo life his family embraced. "I owe them [the Rutledges] everything in my life. Without knowing me, they took me into their home," he said. "I love them so much."

"There are many people who have not heard about Jesus," he added. "Many people are lost. This makes me sad. I want to do what Jesus said. I want to evangelize. He gave us the Great Commission."

Animals are remarkable in their ability to see things we don't, be it the dog that sniffs out cancer or the fish that predicts earthquakes. Animals know when they are needed.

I would imagine it takes a special kind of person, someone with a very empathetic personality, to work in hospice.

But what if your character happens to be of the feline persuasion?

That's right… a cat.

Perhaps you've heard of Oscar; known to some as the "hospice cat." He began his "ministry" of furry comfort after being adopted from a shelter with the intent of using him as a therapy animal at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island.

There, the patients are suffering from either severe dementia or in the final stages of a terminal illness.

Oscar's skills have progressed way beyond therapy, however. According to a recent Reuters report, when the cat was about 6 months old, the staff began to notice that he would always curl up on the lap of the Steere House's residents just prior to their death.

Oscar has apparently "predicted" 50 deaths thus far.

Once, when the staff tried to encourage the cat to curl up with one patient they knew was soon to pass on, Oscar refused, choosing instead, a resident a few doors down. You guessed it—that person died before the other, much to the surprise of the staff.

Dr. David Dosa, who first wrote about Oscar in the New England Journal of Medicine back in 2007, doesn't want people to see the cat as a "four-legged angel of death." He states that there is a lot of important therapy that the unique feline provides, which is often overlooked in comparison to the phenomenon of his prophetic tendency.

So, Dr. Dosa has written a book about Oscar, which is now available, titled: Making Rounds With Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat.

"There is a lot to tell about what Oscar does, but there is a lot to tell on the human level of what family members go through at the end of life when they are dealing with a loved one in a nursing home or with advanced dementia," said Dr. Dosa.

He added, "I don't think Oscar is that unique, but he is in a unique environment. Animals are remarkable in their ability to see things we don't, be it the dog that sniffs out cancer or the fish that predicts earthquakes. Animals know when they are needed."
