"Two Short but Potent 'Bulletin Words' for Today and
This Christmas Season"
by Steve Shultz
|
=====================================
Word #1
God Allowed me to Hear Satan's Conversation
With His Demons
=====================================
I woke up this morning, having finished my "dreaming" with a short but potent
ending. In it, God simply let me "listen in" on a conversation Satan was having
with his demons.
In other words, God was letting me hear from the THIRD HEAVEN (Heaven itself
See II Corinthians 12:2) what He was watching take place in the Second Heaven,
where Satan resides, for Satan is the "Prince of the Power of the Air." (Ephesians
2:2)
========================
So Simple Yet So Potent
========================
It was so simple, and so quick that unless you DETERMINE to listen close and
take it seriously, you could miss its importance!
Here are the exact words I heard Satan tell his Demons . . .
"When the Saints pray, they have more power over me. When they don't pray, I
have more power over them."
That's it. That's what he was saying to his wicked demons.
You can't get a clearer statement of knowledge of how things work in Satan's
realm.
My guess is that Satan HATES with all that is within him, how his words can
be overheard and disseminated, and there's not a thing he can do about it.
So Saints, (that's you and me), let's do something in response and, with God's
help, let's exercise the power we were given over the Devil.
Using the Name and Blood of Jesus, let's Pray, and then pray more . . . for
in doing so, even Satan himself admits that we have more power over him when
we pray than when we don't.
Again, I just sense how ticked off Satan is that he's been once again "overheard"
and "found out". It must be frusting for the devil that he can't speak in secret!
====================================
Word #2
SLOW DOWN--YOU'RE GOING WAY TO FAST!
====================================
In this second Word (in this "bulletin"), I just told my wife I would relate
to the entire Elijah List the conversation she and I just had minutes ago.
Her response to me was "Good."
So, since she and I are in agreement, here is what she and I just talked about.
She came into the room and was stressing about all the things to be done in
this season, and in this day. Our 2nd daughter is home from College and we're
trying to squeeze as much activity into every ounce of that time since she will
return to college in Canada in a few weeks.
As a result of all these things; Christmas gatherings, shopping and events,
she was stressing. Honestly, I do much more of this than she does but today,
it was her turn.
We take turns lifting one another up, which is as it should be. Today was my
turn to build her up.
As she expressed the stress and tiredness, I asked her, "Did I ever tell you
what happened to me a few weeks ago in France when I was there and the song
that popped into my head?"
"No," she said. "Tell me."
"Well, I was getting ready to sign that final agreement to publish our first
book with Anne Elmer (now available, by the way from the Elijah List. It's called,
Transported by the Lion of Judah. It's at:
http://www.elijahshopper.com/detail.aspx?ID=377
)
As I was stressing over all the details and things I needed to do and discuss,"
I told Derene, "a song just popped into my head from the 60's. . . "
Derene is used to me getting songs in the night and during the day as messages
from the Lord . . .
So I continued, "This song 'Feelin' Groovy' just popped into my head. Especially
the part that said, "Slow down, you're moving too fast, you got to make the
morning last . . .just kicking down the cobblestones, looking for fun and feeling
groovy."
It was Interesting as I related this song clearly "from the Lord" to my hosts.
Anne and Malgwyn were well familiar with the song and Malgwyn felt he might
even have a CD with that song on it. It meant something important to both of
us.
Chuck Pierce has recently prophesied that we are in a period of seven years
of war, and ironically, at the same time, we are also in a period of seven years
of REST.
As Derene and I talked, you could feel the tension in the air melt and begin
to go away as she understood this story to be a timely word from the Lord to
SLOW DOWN, not try to go too fast, but to enjoy the moments and make them last.
Even with the special times with family and loved ones . . . remember that it
is on God's heart to send seasons of time to slow down, and make the moments
. . . and time . . . and memories last so that they will be "lasting."
So His word to us -- and to YOU --- today is . . .
"Enjoy yourself. Make the moments last. Rest in Christ. Have a Merry Christmas!"
