BULLETIN: Rick Joyner on THE POPE'S PASSING, "One of the most remarkable leaders of our time . . . "

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
Dear
Elijah List Family,
One of the more discerning voices in the church today is Rick Joyner. Like Rick,
none of us get it right all of the time. But let me state that Rick gets it right
a LOT!
I've rarely seen such agreement as the agreement among all the streams, from Baptist
to Pentecostal . . . that this last Pope was truly a godly man who led his flock
to Jesus. No, we don't agree with every stand this Pope took, but we agree that
God used him mightily.
We should all be praying for the next pope, not because we agree with every theological
position of the Catholic Church, but because the Pope represents 1.1 billion Believers,
most of who accept Jesus, plain and simple, for their salvation.
Please be in prayer for the selection of the next pope.
Blessings in Christ,
Steve Shultz

A
True Saint
The passing of Pope John Paul II is
a major event because we have all lost one of the most remarkable leaders of our
time. I am not a papist and do not believe that any man on earth should be called
"the head of the church," which is the rightful place of Christ alone. However,
I do not doubt that John Paul II was a man of God that all Christians should be
thankful for and should rightly mourn. It was not his title but his character that
caused him to transcend the Roman Catholic Church and
become
a leader who blessed and advanced the whole church, and, indeed, the cause of Christianity
itself. He was one of the greatest leaders of our time, and will be sorely missed.
I have said for years that John Paul II prophetically pulled the string that began
the unraveling of Communism. He stood for freedom and human dignity with a resolve
like few others. He also stood for life, without compromise, against the atrocity
of abortion. Also, in one of his very last statements, he called on America to count
as dear the life of Terri Schiavo.
Pope John Paul II Clung to the
Cross
John
Paul II also took the remarkable and unprecedented step of apologizing for the Catholic
Church’s persecution of Protestants and Jews, as well as its historic role in oppressing
other people groups. This was done with unquestioned sincerity, as it could have
caused major political and legal problems for the church, but he did it because
it was true and the right thing to do. Instead of opening the door to problems,
this raised the world’s esteem for and trust in John Paul II, the Catholic Church,
and, indeed, even Christianity itself.
Pope John Paul loved the Holy Spirit, and in an article which we printed in our
Morning Star Journal, he encouraged all Catholics to seek the gifts of the
Holy Spirit. It was during his tenure that more than 100 million Catholics became
Charismatics and were born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. Pope John Paul
II clung to the cross and tried to pray without ceasing.
Reaching Across the Barriers
I
have been accused of being a papist and of being anti-Catholic. I am neither. I
have fundamental problems with some Catholic doctrines, which I see as being in
clear and basic conflict with Scriptures, but this is because I am for my Catholic
brothers and sisters, not against them. I have Catholic friends whose intimacy with
Christ I envy. I do not hesitate to disagree with them on certain doctrines and
practices, but I also love them dearly and have been richly blessed by their friendship
and faith in the Lord. I loved and admired Pope John Paul II. He was one of the
greatest men of God of our time.
If you feel the same way, consider honoring him by reaching across some barriers
the way that he did. Send condolences to the Catholic Churches in your area for
the loss of their shepherd, while expressing appreciation for all that he did for
the whole church, and indeed the world.

"The Apostolic Ministry"
by Rick Joyner
$14.95 Book |
The ministry of the apostle is the
linchpin ministry of the church, and without it the church cannot become what it
is called to be. While the world and much of the church has focused on scandals
and problems in the church, that which is now being called "The New Apostolic
Reformation" emerged and quickly became, not only the fastest growing part of
the church, but the fastest growing religious movement of any kind on the earth.
For this reason the subject addressed by this book is one of the most important
for our times.
With its remarkable growth and impact, it is understandable that "apostolic
movements" and claims of apostleship are also becoming some of the greatest
controversies of our times. Though this book is not an attempt to answer all of
the questions arising from this issue, it does address some of the most
important ones, such as:
-What is an apostle?
-Are there apostles today?
-What is their function?
-What authority do they have?
-How do we recognize false apostles?
-What will the apostolic church look like?

"The Torch and the Sword"
by Rick Joyner
$12.95 Book |
The Torch and the Sword
continues the message that began in
The Final Quest
and continued in
The Call. It is a call to live the greatest adventure, for the most
noble purpose. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those who desire to
live as true knights of the cross, refusing to retreat before the great darkness
of our times. It is for those who will stand with courage and resolution for
truth, righteousness, and justice, as messengers of the age to come. These are
the ones who Enoch prophesied would come with power in the last days, and who
are now awakening to their destiny.
