Kathi
Pelton: "THE POWER OF WORDS--GOD IS ADDING A NEW AUTHORITY UPON OUR WORDS"
 Words
WORDS! It just seems that God is focusing in on the words of our mouth. The
other day, I caught myself being a bit "sharp" with my words to my oldest
daughter and I thought, "Would I talk to someone that I minister to in that
tone?" Of course not! But the Lord was quick to say, "Don't you minister to
your daughter?" Yes, my children are my most influential ministry! I will have
more impact on my four kids and my husband than anyone else that I have ever meet.
Then I remembered the verse out of Proverbs 16:23-24 that says,
"The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds
learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Where there was grace in the past to have some discrepancies
between our personal lives and ministry lives...it seems that this is no longer the case! God
desires to entrust us with authority in everything we do and say (in our day-to-day, moment-to-moment lives). This has required a great consecration of our
personal lives during this season. Especially in those areas that have had
compromise in them.
He is refining His Bride with great pressure, fire, and love.
At this time, there seems to be a focus upon the words that come forth from our
mouths. I believe that this has to do with the authority He is releasing to us.
We will be declaring His words over nations, and they must be aligned with His
words only. The words that come forth from our lips are a reflection of the
meditations of our hearts. Psalm 19:14 reads,
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy
sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."
The Alignment of Our Words
This issue about words is very personal to God. It concerns how we talk about
ourselves, our spouses, our children, our churches, our cities, and our nations.
Our words are being aligned with the words of Christ. Jesus only did and said
what He saw His Father doing and saying...this is our example.
We must watch and
listen before we speak because there is life and death in the tongue, and God is
adding a new authority upon our words as His sons and daughters to speak life
into nations, people, situations, etc.
It is a time to know His words more then
ever before, and to align our words with His Word. This is not only His written
Word, but the timely words that He speaks day-by-day and wants to release through
us. God desires that healing comes forth from our mouths, not harm.
Proverbs
12:18 says,
"There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of
the wise brings healing."
Mouth-to-Mouth
I keep hearing the words in my spirit, "mouth-to-mouth." It is like the Spirit
is blowing life "mouth-to-mouth" into His Bride. This life-giving breath will
have "words of life" upon it for us to speak His timely word into many
situations. It is a greater place of intimacy and authority. "Mouth-to-mouth"
not only refers to the procedure of resuscitation (giving back life), but also of
a kiss.
We have stood face-to-face but it is getting even more personal in this
season. It is like Jesus has bent down to kiss His Bride with life and intimacy.
Intimacy unto further revelation of "who He is" and life for the purpose of
"giving life" to a lost and dying world.
We need to let the prayer of our heart be out of Psalm 19:14,
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy
sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."
God seems to be inviting His people to receive the gift of authority that comes
through our mouths and words. We must first accept the invitation and allow the
Holy Spirit to breathe upon us with this purifying breath. It comes with great
requirement of allowing the work of the Spirit to be upon our every word. It is
about agreeing with Heaven, and speaking that which is pure, true, and lovely. If
you do a word search on the word, "Word," you will be amazed at how important
words are to the Lord and how powerful they are in the mouths of His people.
I encourage you to take the time to look through the Bible and find how God
speaks about "words" and the power of the tongue. There are over 500 verses that
include the word, "Word" in them. Pray some of these verses, so that your words
and tongue will always be to declare truth and His righteousness. The "closet of
our mouths" are being cleaned out. Open up, and let the Holy Spirit come in and
cleanse your words, and fill your mouths with His words of authority and truth.
Word Verses
Exodus 24:3--Words that release obedience
"Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the LORD and all
the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, 'All the
words which the LORD has spoken we will do!'"
Deuteronomy 4:10--Words that release
instruction
"Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when the LORD
said to me, 'Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so
they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may
teach their children.'"
Deuteronomy 18:18-19--Words that release
judgment
"'I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put
My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
And it shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall
speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.'"
1 Corinthians 2:4-5--Words that release power
"And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the
wisdom of men, but on the power of God."
Acts 11:14--Words that release salvation
"...and he shall speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your
household.'"
Acts 10:43-44--Words that release the Holy
Spirit
"Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who
believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those
who were listening to the message."
John 15:7-8--Words that release answers and
fruit
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it
shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be
My disciples."
May your mouth be filled with life-giving words!

NEW ELIJAH LIST CD!
"He Reached Down"
by Peter Spencer
$15.00
Audio CD
 "When
I started this project, I began by asking the Lord what His heart was for this
CD. It was then that I heard Him say, 'I want to know your heart for this CD.'
And with that revelation, I was set free. These songs are my heart. Most were
recorded live and spontaneously, with no musical preparation beforehand.
Intercession and prophetic song are woven into each one.
I pray the Lord will bless you, release you, and bring you closer to His heart
as you listen. I pray the deep passion found in His heart would cry out and
beckon you to the deep. Oh Father! Thank You, that You reached down and took a
hold of us! Now we are gratefully Yours!" --Peter Spencer
Peter Spencer has led worship at various churches for the past 16 years and is
currently a worship leader at Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Albany, Oregon.
I am SO excited to introduce our first-ever (among many more to come) worship CD's by THE ELIJAH LIST. This first one is by Peter Spencer. Remember that name because I think you'll likely hear more from him.
It's called, HE REACHED DOWN, and you're going to be amazed at the THUNDER you'll hear on the track by the same name as the CD! Not to mention the Scripture that is part of the CD.
Peter's worship is spontaneous, soaking, powerful, devotional, and many more adjectives I can think of.
We've only ordered a few thousand copies to start, so get yours while you can. This is a superb CD, and we are already working on the concept for our next ELIJAH LIST WORSHIP CD. These will all be good. I hope you won't miss out on this first one!
This is truly a "get it while it lasts" CD. You're going to love it. I know because I LOVE IT even after spending hours helping to produce it!
--Blessings,
Steve Shultz, The Elijah List

TOP SELLING BOOK
"Open My Eyes, Lord"
by Gary Oates
$14.00
Book
Foreword
to Open My Eyes, Lord: Open My Eyes, Lord, Gary Oates' new book, is one of the most exciting books I have read in a long time. It is a book about holiness and intimacy with our Triune God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Gary's pursuit of a life of intimacy with God, and consecration to a lifestyle of holiness, has been shared with his wife, Kathi. However, their walk with God took a gigantic leap forward after Gary saw the Lord Jesus while out of his body, and both he and Kathi's eyes were also opened to see angels.
One cannot read this book without becoming hungrier for "just a closer walk with Thee" type of experience/relationship. I know that I have a holy jealousy for the intimacy I see for God in Gary Oates' life. I am no longer satisfied to be able to sense the presence of angels when they come near me. I want to see them. I want to enter into the fulfillment of a word I received over ten years ago, "I want your eyes to be opened to see My resources for you in the
Heavenlies, just as Elisha prayed for Gehazi's eyes to be opened."
 I encourage you to read this book with an open heart and mind. As you do, agree with me in this prayer, "Open my eyes, Lord...I want to see Jesus...to reach out and touch Him...to tell Him I love Him. Open my eyes, Lord...I want to see. I want to see Your
Heavenly resources for me. As Elisha prayed for Gehazi, for his eyes to be opened, I pray for every reader of this book to have their eyes opened; just as I pray for my own eyes to be opened. In Jesus' Name.
 Amen."
--Randy Clark,

I
was handed the manuscript to this book...I finished it the next day."
