"Katrina -- A
Warning to Avert Further Judgments?"

FROM THE
DESK OF STEVE SHULTZ:
Dear
Elijah List Readers,
I've spoken to MANY prophets and prophet
intercessors regarding their discernment on the Katrina Hurricane and almost to
a person, they discern that one of the major reasons (but not the only reason)
it was allowed was this: We as America-- have felt that Israel should be
pressured to pull out of their own lands.
In fact, I don't think I've heard from a
prophet that hasn't discerned that there was a relationship to Israel in that
Hurricane...among other sins of our land, of course.
As we repent for our own sins and identify
with those who are suffering and repenting in those Gulf Coast states, please
also remember to pray for a man who I believe is one of the greatest presidents
I've seen in my lifetime, President George Bush.
Pray that he will be given Godly and
wise counsel on what to do in this catastrophe and also for how he might change
course, if directed to by God to do so, on matters concerning Israel.
May God Bless America!
May God bless Israel!
And may God bless His Church!

Katrina -- A
Warning to Avert Further Judgments?
by Rick Ridings
Jerusalem

How should we pray in the wake of what may soon prove to be one of America's
greatest natural disasters in history? Is this crisis a one-time thing, or is it
only the second in a series of disastrous judgments waiting at America's door,
unless there is a massive move of lasting repentance?? |
9-11 was a powerful wake-up call. It seems America was awakened out of her
sleepy spiritual state long enough to push the "snooze" button on the alarm, but
then quickly went back to sleep.
One of the clear ways of God seen in His historical dealings with Israel, was
that He would allow a lesser judgment to come in order to stir His people out of
their spiritual slumber. If they awoke, and turned from idolatry in a true and
lasting fashion, the greater judgment was averted. If they did not, He released
(with great sorrow of heart) the greater judgment, which for Israel meant two
times the destruction of Jerusalem, resulting in the destruction of Israel's
economy and the exile of her people into the nations.
God's Displeasure
Katrina means "pure", and I believe it is a call for purification. A week before
Katrina, as we prayed about the forced removal of Jewish people from their homes
in Gaza and parts of Samaria (the northern "West Bank"), we sensed that God was
going to speak soon in very strong terms His displeasure with the continued and
increasing pressure of the nations to "divide up the Land" (Joel 3:2). Psalm 29
came out very strongly in both our day and night "watches" (we did not know
until the following day that we had both received the same Scripture and
message).
Evening, night, morning, and afternoon
intercessors, all separately received a sense that a storm was coming. They felt
that God was very angry about the pullout, and that His voice would soon thunder
His displeasure through nature. Some significant Scriptures received were:
"The voice of the LORD is
over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty
waters… The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King
forever." --Psalm 29:3, 9, 10
"You boast, 'We
have entered into a covenant with death, with the grave we have made an
agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we
have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.' I will make justice
the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your
refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place. Your covenant with
death will be annulled; your agreement with the grave will not stand. When the
overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it." -- Isaiah
28: 15, 17, 18 ( See also Isaiah 30:27-33; and
Psalm 18:1-15)
God's Mercy
For any who might question the link of the
Gaza/Samaria evacuation with the New Orleans evacuation, I encourage you to read
an article by our friend, Avner Boskey, showing the parallels between the two
uprootings (See
www.elijahlist.com/words).
In the hours just before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of America, we were crying
out to God here in Jerusalem, where we conduct 24/7 worship and intercession
from our center, facing Mt. Zion. As we asked God to "in wrath remember mercy",
we were led to confess two root sins.
The first is the exploitation of sin and
decadence, to not only parade it shamelessly, but also to use it to gain money
through tourism and exportation, via the media. Secondly, the sin of saying that
God does not have the "right" to set the borders of nations -- pressuring Israel
to divide up the Land and give away her biblically promised inheritance
to be replaced by an Islamic terrorist state, probably to be dominated by forces
openly dedicated to the destruction of Israel. I believe that Katrina's last
minute veer to the right, avoiding a head-on with New Orleans, was an expression
of "in wrath remember mercy." Although we deeply grieve over lives lost, it
could have been even worse.
UNLESS AMERICA AND
EUROPE HEED THE WAKEUP CALL . . .
Unless America heeds the wake-up call this time, and Europe heeds the wake-up
call from the London terrorism and the recent flooding, there are worse
judgments standing in line, waiting to be released upon America and Europe. May
we, as intercessors, cry out for a spirit of repentance to be poured out upon
America and Europe before judgments come that are far worse than 9-11, the
London bombings, or Hurricane Katrina.

"Releasing the Prophetic
Destiny of a Nation"
by Dutch Sheets & Chuck Pierce
$15.99 Book
|
|
|
|
Dear Elijah List INTERCESSORS,
Many of you want to pray for the states in the United States of America, and you
have a heart for different states. In this new and paradigm-shifting book, Chuck
Pierce and Dutch Sheets write about each and every state.
They give the purpose, giftings, and calling of each state and the part that
state will and MUST play in the plan of God.
Included with each state is a history of the state as it relates to the
intercession necessary to cleanse the land and to redeem lost time.
If you are an intercessor and you love to pray for the LAND of the USA, then you
simply need this book in your arsenal.
I don't know how else to say it.
Blessings for the United States of America,
Steve Shultz
Are you ready to be a part of the destiny of your country?
Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation is the remarkable story of how God
called two very different men to come together for a common cause: His desire to
heal the United States of America.
Endowed with God-given keys for reconciliation of the United States, Dutch
Sheets and Chuck Pierce traveled the 50 states rallying apostles, prophets,
intercessors, and entire churches to break the grip of demonic strongholds.
Their efforts to purge the land of territorial and generational sin began an
open season of warfare against the principalities and powers entrenched in every
state. Are you ready to join the fight to free your state and your country? Are
you ready for God to release the prophetic destiny of your nation?

Foreword to God Encounters:
My
favorite books have three elements to them:
1. They have fresh revelation from God. In such a book there's a newness to what
is written, bringing us biblical insights that have an immediate impact on the
way we see and the way we live. They do more than say "amen" to what we already
know. By nature they challenge and invite us, all in the same breath. This book
is packed with revelation.
2. They embrace mystery as a necessary part of our faith. Sometimes what we
don't understand is as important as what we do. The Golls have effectively
embraced the mystery of their encounters with God, resisting the temptation to
over-explain. By doing so they reveal their own integrity in remaining true to
their God-given assignment to give it to us the way God gave it to them. What
they do explain will keep the reader busy for a long time to come.
3. They declare and demonstrate that Jesus Christ is the same today as He was
2,000 years ago. This, perhaps more than anything else, is the message I long to
see displayed by the Church in this hour. Page after page of God Encounters
reveal wonderful insights and experiences of biblical proportions. In this book
James and Michal Ann invite us to catch a rare glimpse of the inner workings of
a prophet's home. They are among a small company of pioneers who herald this
message about our unchanging King, saying, "There is more! We must press on for
more, no matter the cost!" They have gone far beyond any criteria that I could
have set, as they launch the reader into the ultimate quest - the quest for the
face of God.
Testimonies, whether spoken or written, bring something of Heaven into the
moment, changing the atmosphere around us into a realm of unlimited possibility.
In effect, each story prophesies both the nature of God and His intent for every
person who will seek Him without restraint. Since God is no respecter of
persons, and is the same today as He was 2,000 years ago, all stories of divine
encounters become invitations. They are invitations - for those who have ears to
hear - to enter into a lifestyle of pursuit . . . a lifestyle of experiencing
the Divine One. God Encounters is such a book. It is your invitation to
the ultimate quest.
