Jo Ellen Stevens ~GOD IS RAISING UP THE ENCOURAGERS

Deuteronomy 1:37-38 (CEV) “The Lord was even angry with me because of you people, and he said, “Moses, I won’t let you go into the land either. Instead, I will let Joshua your assistant lead Israel to conquer the land. So encourage him.”

~ENCOURAGEMENT ~ ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS OF THIS TIME~

The Lord showed me something this morning. He said that Facebook has truly brought out many who have the gift of encouragement to the forefront but that this gift was going to begin to be an even more important gift in the body of Christ as the days get darker upon the earth. In fact it is going to be such an important gift that God is now raising up an army of encouragers like unto Joshua and Caleb.

~YOU ELDERS ENCOURAGE THE YOUNGER~

There is an army of those that are not afraid to encourage the younger believers to go forward in the race who are being readied to go in and take the land! I saw some in the body of Christ who had made it in their walks in what God had called them to do and be in Him, and they had the power in their mouth to strengthen the people of God, but many were not because they thought that if they encouraged another that they would take their place, but the Lord said, “those that are in my Kingdom and have been encouraged by me in the past must now encourage those who I am about to anoint, to go in and possess the Land!’ This is the KEY to them being able to go in with them because I will have NO ONE TO GO IN WHO WILL DISCOURAGE MY PEOPLE!’ This is also a key to winning the battles that they will face as they are staking out the land!”

“Yes, I am raising up the encouragers in my Kingdom to strengthen those who are to possess the land! Take your place! Align yourself with those that I speak to you to get behind! Do not hesitate to speak my words to them! Even if you see immaturity in them. Strengthen them as I have strengthened you! Encourage them as you have been encouraged! Be thankful for those that have encouraged you and spoken into your lives! Yes encouragement, thankfulness, and giving honor where honor is due will bring strength into those that have fallen down and it will cause them to go in and possess the land!!”

Isaiah 35:3-7 (ESVUK)

Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;

Arise Shine! Jo Ellen Stevens
