From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Keith Miller's words are always FULL of encouragement. We need leaders who truly encourage the Body of Christ, especially with all we are facing today. Keith Miller's words are always FULL of encouragement. It's like Keith pulls out the vast greatness of God inside of us and calls it forth. I like it!

Keith Miller:
A Word From God Can Change Everything!
A word from God can change everything in an instant for you, and for the Body of Christ.
"Sing to God, sing praises to His name; extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him..." (Psalm 68:4). "Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah, to Him who rides on the Heaven of heavens, which were of old! Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His excellence is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds" (Psalm 68:32-34).
Paternal Inheritance: When revelation of Abba Father truly comes and your heart cries out to Him from the very depths of your being; of your inner man, His mighty voice breaks through the clouds in power and strength for you to claim, recover, possess, and delight in your inheritance!
Psalm 68:5 reveals God in His holy habitation as a "father of the fatherless, a defender of widows." It is this establishment in our hearts of who we are as His sons and daughters, this new place of greater revelation, that our spirits are stirred for the breakthrough and building up of the Body. When the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the spirit of Joshua, and the spirits of the remnant of the people, they "came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God" (See Haggai 1:14). Their hearts were stirred to finish the temple. They had renewed courage in the Lord, renewed faith in God who controls the future. Do you have revelation of Abba God, the Defender of the widow, the Father of the fatherless? Revelation of the Father in His holy habitation, in your heart and life, will stir your spirit for breakthrough, restoration, and a race to the finish.
The Grace of His Presence
Understand this: your Father who made the heavens, who established the earth, does what He says He will do! Rejoice in the Lord! When you are established in this truth, you will walk in such vastness that you will always be rejoicing as you fully walk as an heir of Abba Father. This is the Father who will never leave you, who will show you great favor, who will provide everything you need, and who will come and visit you. Most assuredly, you will have His presence.
From the realm of revelation of the grace of Abba Father in your life will also be the revealing of the "deep things of God," to give to your children (see Deuteronomy 29:29). The deep things that He chooses to give to you will open the eyes of your heart to see His vastness, and your children and their children will know how big He really is. And you will rejoice. And they will rejoice in all that He does and will do. He is not a far-away God—He is a far out God—big, capable, able, and willing to put it all in your lap!
Set in and Seated with Him
Jesus Himself called on God as, "Abba Father," as He faced the Cross. He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You" (Mark 14:36). Whatever cross or burden you are bearing, calling out to Abba Father is calling out for the impossible to become possible. Your Father God has unlimited resources. You have access to a Father who knows the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning, so the trust factor is limitless. You can trust Him without end. He will never fail you. In fact, He is your summit! He is the full cycle of your entire life. He has everything worked out. When your flesh is silent, revelation grows such that you will be so seated with Him that you will be in a state of rejoicing.
But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God" (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). The Revealer searches all things in God's never-ending constantly full heavenly treasure chest, and pulls out riches from it to give to you. What an incredible blessing! The Revealer gives that which God has prepared, made and kept ready: profound and bottomless things, to those who love Him affectionately. He adorns us with His gifts.
The Holy Spirit expands the inner man not through head knowledge but through the revelatory realm of revelation of illumination in the inner man to a deeper, and yet deeper depth of His greatness. That you, being so rooted in Him as Father God, are set in for your coming moment, for your coming day in Christ for your destiny, which is His will for your life. This destiny is one that cannot be moved because you "see" how vast He really is. Nothing is impossible for Him. This deeper revelation roots us into a faith that brings forth works that really believe nothing is impossible for Him. Jesus said, "…nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will" (Mark 14:36). What He wills is the Father heart of God.
Pointing to His Presence
Are you willing to say, "Father, I believe You... I believe You?" when He says that it is possible to believe for a city in a day? For your family to be saved? For the funds that you need today? For the healing that you need today?
God sets the solitary in families. He brings out those who are bound into prosperity. He moves mountains. He drops plentiful rain from Heaven. He confirms our inheritance when it is weary and we dwell in it (see Psalm 68:6-11). Mountains move at His presence. Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God!
Everything—every treasure, the riches, the gifts, every increase is to bring attention to His precious presence. It will become a day of, "Behold now the Lord your God." They will see the gifts, see the treasures as you point and say, "Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You" (Jeremiah 32:17).
The priestly crowns, the blessings are for speaking His Word and ministering in service to the Lord. He crowns us as examples of His leadership as we spread the knowledge of Father God across the earth. God does not want us to spread anything but the knowledge of Him. Can you imagine a company of Believers gathered in a kairos moment for one sole, purpose? To spread the knowledge of God. That is, to spread the fame of His name, to make famous one name and one name only—the name of Jesus! Increase is coming in the vastness and greatness of God and His grace—the deep treasures are coming forth.
Crowned with the priestly blessing, as the royal priesthood, we are first ministers unto God. We are a chosen generation, a holy nation, His own special people, "that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9). We must come out of the old mind-set and into the mind of Christ where the blazing glory of His glorious presence literally rests upon us and the place as we minister first unto God, and then receive His strategies to touch and impact. Ascending and descending sends. Ascending to the Father and descending sends.
We come into that place of impact as His ministers saying, "Oh Father, Your Word says..." That is—the apostolic commissioning. The glory moves with us. The blazing glory was in Ezekiel's wheel, right where the beginning touched the end and the end touched the beginning. This is where we will be in the presence of God, where the beginning touches the end and the end touches the beginning so that we are not moved by anything in the natural because we know what He started and what He will finish! The Author of our salvation will finish what He started.
At one of our recent meetings in Houston, as we prayed for the sick at the service end, the Lord started to heal people and it was glorious to see Him move. There is always much excitement when God moves, and guess what? It excites Him too that we move with Him as He moves. As we follow His move—as we follow Him He opens the way, and we go!
Transition! Go through... Go through the Gates...
In the Book of Micah, the king goes through the gate. As God breaks through the gate, we transition and follow Him. As we transition, we lay course for the troops to come. A breaker is someone who moves with God as God breaks through. God goes through the gates and we go through too, preparing the way for the troops, for the people, building up the highway, taking out the stones, and lifting up a banner for the people (see Isaiah 62:10). Restoration is here, victory is here. God calls upon the faithful priests to join Him, to march forth to prepare the way. It is not Jerusalem's gate that we are opening. It is the Church's gate that once open will stand open day and night for all to pass through (see Isaiah 26:1-2; 60:11).
Consider this: when God went out before His people, when He marched through the wilderness, the earth shook. Great was the company of those who proclaimed His Word. Kings of armies fled. God provided from His goodness for the poor.
We are about to see a company rise up called "the Body of Christ" and wherever Father God sends His sons and daughters, we will not hope something will happen, we know it will, for He has already gone before us, opened the gate, and we are going right through it! Defeat will not be an option. It is not an option!
Grace=Incredible Breakthrough
The gate itself is God's grace. With His grace comes incredible breakthrough, an empowerment by the Holy Spirit to explode into who you are in the Lord! Shake off the dust, silence the flesh and the Lord will arise from His holy habitation, stirring you to arise with Him, crashing with Him through graces' gate for incredible, unbelievable breakthrough in every area. Revelation of the living, powerful, true, and sharp Word of the Lord in you and His vastness will pierce and penetrate the most ebon darkness or fearful shadow. As you follow Father God, expect to arise and never again sit down until He has accomplished His whole work in you. Never again settle for what was yesterday; this is your time, the Church's time for impact for today. The past and the present are not your realities! The realm of His grace is your reality as you ascend, descend, move and function in it for victory.
Receiving grace from the Lord is the act of a conqueror and victor. A new fullness and increased realm of His grace awaits you that will cause you to want to crash through, move, and function with your Abba Father. Thirst for this increased flow of grace, which I believe He is offering you, and drink your fill! His grace will mature and establish you so that you can ride in triumph with Him as a royal priest, a son or daughter of Father God, proclaiming His presence to Him, and still more, proclaiming in the wonders of His grace to a world of lost people who need to be pointed to Him.
