They Said It Couldn't Happen. God Had Other Plans

They Said It Couldn't Happen.
God Had Other Plans

Steve Shultz     Dear ElijahStreams Family,

     This morning as I was with the Lord, I asked Him once again, "What are You doing in this season with our generous partners—those who have said yes to Your heart for the nations?"

    And suddenly, I was reminded of something Kat Kerr said not long ago:

Steve Shultz "Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters...
And when something was created, He would invade it.
He's the most excited being in existence right now—
ready to invade this earth and us, without permission."

    Immediately, He reminded me of Genesis 1:2: "And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters..."

Steve Shultz    From the very beginning, the Holy Spirit has moved over waters when God is about to create something new. And friend, I want to tell you... He is doing it again.

    Here's my take on the update I got from Mike and Lori Salley recently.

    She waited 75 years for a breakthrough... Her name is Robinah.

    She's 75 years old. And for every one of those 75 years, she has drunk from the same dirty water source.

    Her parents used it. Her children drank from it. Even after her husband passed away, she carried a jerrycan down a steep hill just to scoop up brown, murky water from an open spring filled with leaves, mud, and disease.

    People had come over the years, promising clean water. But no one ever followed through. Still, she waited. Still, she hoped.

    And I believe... the Holy Spirit was hovering.

Giving What She Had, When She Had So Little

     When her children scraped together enough money to buy her a small rainwater tank, it only filled during the rainy season. Yet Robinah—widowed, elderly, frail—opened her gate and shared what she had with her neighbors.

    She didn't hoard it. She didn't hold back. They asked her, "Why do you give your water away?"

    She said: "I was taught to give. I'm here to help others."

Steve Shultz    That's the kind of person she is. That's the kind of person the Holy Spirit invades.

    When they asked her to give her land for a clean water well, she didn't hesitate. But others did.

    "You'll lose your privacy."

    "People will always be in your yard."

    "What if you want to host a gathering?"

    Still, she smiled and said: "God blessed me... so I could bless others." And with that simple yes... Heaven moved.

The Spirit Hovered—and Then He Invaded

    When John, the Show Mercy water engineer, first visited the village, he saw Robinah at the spring—bent over, struggling to collect dirty water.

    He told them: "I saw my grandmother in her. And my heart broke."

    He began to pray. Not just for water...but for breakthrough.

    After hours of surveying and searching for the right place to drill, they were stunned. The best location wasn't in the valley like expected.

    It was on the top of the hill. It was on Robinah's land.

    Friend, the Holy Spirit didn't need permission—He had it from the Father. And He invaded that hilltop with life.

    It wasn't just water. It was revival. The moment the drilling struck water, the atmosphere shifted.

Tears. Laughter. Dancing. Deliverance.

    Robinah wept. Her neighbors cheered. John stood in awe... Because God had not forgotten her. The Spirit had been hovering. And now, He rushed in like a flood. Robinah's life was transformed. But the Spirit wasn't finished. Still giving. Still overflowing. Still reflecting Heaven.

    Today, Robinah is the guardian of the well in her own front yard. She doesn't carry water up hills anymore—she just takes a few steps and pumps the water.

    But even now, she's still giving.

    With the clean water so close, Robinah has started a vibrant garden—growing food not just for herself, but to share with her village.

Steve Shultz    She told them: "If God gave me this, I will give it away."

    Her life is a mirror of the Father's heart. He gives. She gives. He hovers. She pours. He invades... and so does love.

    "Even a cup of cold water..."

    Jesus said it so clearly:

"Whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water...
will by no means lose their reward." - Matthew 10:42

    This is such a BIG, BIG, BIG, deal to God! He said if we give to ONE OF THESE...WE WILL NOT LOSE OUR REWARD.

Steve Shultz
Robin Bullock
    I asked Robin Bullock about this the other day and here is what he said: "The way I think we should see it...when you give one of THESE a cup of cold water...You have a REWARD coming to YOU! You have a REWARD coming to YOU!"

    AND YOU'VE given far more than a cup. You've given life. Hope. Revival.

And I believe the Lord wants you to know:

"I see every gift. I record every drop.
And My Word will not return void." - Isaiah 55:11

    The Spirit is hovering again. Will you say yes?

    Right now, we're drilling one new well every DAY. But there are still so many who are waiting... just like Robinah did.

    And I believe the Holy Spirit is hovering once again—ready to invade, ready to break through, ready to pour out glory and water and LIFE.

    Your gift won't just bring clean water. It will break decades of delay. It will be the answer to prayers that have been rising like incense for generations.

    We can't thank you enough for your faithful support ALL THESE years. You mean so much to all of us here at ElijahStreams.

    We pray BIG blessings over each and every one of you.     
      
With grateful hearts,

P.S. Robinah waited 75 years. She never stopped believing. And now, her land is overflowing with water, life, and joy.

But so many more are still waiting.

You could be the reason another grandmother finally stops walking miles for dirty water... You could be the one who releases the next miracle.
