From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
This is one of the most PIVOTAL, life-changing, paradigm-shifting, really-believe-God words of the Lord I've ever read.
I commend it strongly to you and I ask you to send it to all your friends.
Did you realize we have been LIMITING what GOD CAN DO by the way we prophesy?
We are always prophesying what God is ABOUT TO DO, or what will happen in the near future.
God wants "NOW" in our prophetic words.
Barbie Breathitt writes:
God says, "I am limited to only manifesting in measure because of the small platform they build Me with their restrictive, futuristic words. I want My people to begin to exaggerate My [prophetic] word, so that I can begin to enter into and expose My grandeur with a NOW word of faith. My prophets are worried that if they prophesy a NOW word, I will not come, or it will not happen. Their fear of embarrassment restrains Me."
And speaking of the word "NOW" – this word is a NOW WORD!
Read it, be encouraged and as always, ENJOY! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

The Lord spoke to me recently, and the following is a paraphrase of what He imparted:
Housing the Fullness of His Glory
"My prophets need to build Me a substantial platform that is large enough for Me to inhabit, to house and display My glory. My people keep postponing My coming, even with the terminology they use to praise and worship Me. Very few songs invite Me to come and display My greatness or declare the power and authority of My presence in the NOW.
"My prophets prophesy: 'There will be a time coming...' 'I AM getting ready to...' 'A new season will begin...' or 'In two years from now this or that will happen.' When My prophets prophesy in this manner, because I honor the words of My prophets, I cannot manifest in a NOW way.
"I want to manifest My glory in the NOW!
"I am limited to only manifesting in measure because of the small platform they build Me with their restrictive, futuristic words. I want My people to begin to exaggerate My [prophetic] word, so that I can begin to enter into and expose My grandeur with a NOW word of faith. My prophets are worried that if they prophesy a NOW word, I will not come, or it will not happen. Their fear of embarrassment restrains Me. But My Son, Jesus, became of no reputation. He only did what He saw Me (the Father) doing.
"I want My prophets to speak what they hear Me saying and do what they see Me doing on a grander scale."
He then brought me to passages in Ezekiel where God instructed Ezekiel to command dry bones to come alive, to prophesy as He commanded:
"Also, He said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, "Thus says the Lord God: 'Come from the four winds (the creative dimension), O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.'"'" (Ezekiel 37:9) (Photo via Snappy Goat)
"Daniel spoke, saying, 'I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds (the creative realm) of Heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.'" (Daniel 7:2)
When we prophesy as God commands, a certain sound is released, a shaking ensues and a coming together of "One New Man" occurs, and the Body of Christ resurrects out of the wilderness as a unified Body that is full of power. God continues to call us to stop hiding, crouched in the corners, and to stand up in an elevated, spiritual level of operation as individuals who are united as the Bride of Christ, having made herself ready to arise as One New Man.
In order to see what the Father is doing and to prophesy as He commands, we must operate in the expansive, spiritual fourth dimension of glory, not the limited, worldly third dimension. We must transition from operating out of a "gifting" level into operating out of the glory level. Where we have normally operated in a "gifting" or "anointing" level, we are being called to step behind the veil into a mature level of "Christ ministry" – the "Seven Spirits of God office" level of fullness, where all the limitations are taken off (see Revelation 4:5).
The Seven Spirits of God
God is always communicating with us, whether we are aware of it or not. God communicates to us through His multidimensional Spirits. The distinct dimensions of God's Spirits are...the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of the Revelation/Knowledge of Christ, and the Spirit of the Reverential Fear of the Lord. All seven Spirits dwell within the Believer at varying degrees.
God created a specific system of communication for each individual person, a personal vocabulary depending on how one interprets. He speaks in puns, parables and symbols. When the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke in parables, Jesus explained that symbols had been given unto them (us) to understand the Kingdom of God that is within the Believer. We are enlightened to perceive by God's symbolic language, whereas the world is confused by it (see Matthew 13:10-17).
God speaks in parabolic phrases so that we can come into the knowledge of God (spiritual realm) through the Spirit of Understanding, in order to gain wisdom to move in His counsel and in His might. Being born of the Spirit, the Word becomes alive to us. God can now speak to us through the Word, symbols, visions and dreams (see Job 33:14). He finds different and distinctive ways to speak to each one of us, and He does not speak the same way every time. God is very diverse (the multi-faceted wisdom of God). (Photo via Piqsels)
Imagination: The Key to God's Creative Dimension
Understanding God's symbolic language is possible through the expansive capacity of the imagination. The creative ability of the imagination is the conduit, so to speak. God wants us to engage the imagination (the greater platform), so He can enter into it and express Himself in a much grander way to us than just by knowledge or by intellect. The imagination brings in the creative dimension God wants to use, so that He can express Himself to each person individually and meet our specific needs.
The imagination empowers us to live and experience life in a much grander way. When we learn to live by our imagination, we will live life in abundance, in the best and the worst of times. The creative use of our imagination causes us to aspire to reach our full potential. By accessing God's supreme power, knowledge and wisdom through the Holy Spirit, we have the ability to operate as God designed us. By gaining the understanding of God's mysteries concealed in the soul of our thoughts and spiritual dreams, we can live in the future dimensions of increase. Accepting God's increase prepares us to step into and then steward the magnitude of His multiplied blessings.
The ingenious, creative Spirit of Christ Jesus dwells within the imagination of every born-again Believer. We know God as our Creator by becoming an heir of Jesus' divine nature. The divine nature of God gives us the power to create things (in and through the imagination) not currently seen or known to exist. Resting in the divine nature of God causes us to imitate God by electing and agreeing with a prosperous future. There are many futures God has designed for us. Futures-in-waiting already exist in the realm of the spirit for our imaginations to discover. We have the power to choose which destiny we will fulfill in life.
