Inspired, Touched, and Awakened
Aug 15, 2012
I am GREATLY inspired, touched and awakened by your ministry and more too, your precious touch with the Lord! I just ran into your website some 2 days ago while on a search in hunger to find something on developing a lifestyle marked by the Spirit's tangible Presence. I found your writings and resources most helpful! I felt to let you know how much of an inspiration you are to me already. Thanks for yielding to God to spearhead a prophetic revival in the nations. I'm believing God to make me a blessing to your ministry. Thank you so much sir!
Timely Word on Breakthrough!
Sep 28, 2009
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Your word, "Press Through to the Breakthrough" was so timely for me - and the Church at large. I cannot tell you how much I was encouraged by it. I have been walking through a season of fire and purging like never before and I have been a Christian following hard after Jesus for 16 years. This fall - all the prophets are saying - is a new season. Thank you for you word and encouragement to Press Through! Pressing through, Amy Hayes
Seeking After What?!
Jun 15, 2009
Dear Brother, I just read your article "Show me the Stuff!" Thank you for your honesty and integrity. Many do need to hear such a message. I can't think of anything you said I disagree with and believe your courage and obedience to address this trend will be heard and help to bring balance in the body. There will always be those who seek after a sign, but they have not sought their Savior and His Word with all their hearts...yet. I love the Word of God with all my heart. He has used it to heal, guide, bless and encourage so many times. He brings His Word to mind in every ministry setting I'm a part of. He also demonstrates His great love throught the supernatural in these settings, as well, which brings great joy and thankfulness! I attended a small meeting some years ago, here in Duncanville at the Bat Zion Messianic Congregation. It is wonderful to see how powerfully the Lord has used you and continues to grow your ministry for His good purposes. You will be in my prayers. Blessings As You Go, Vivian Olson

Signs Without the Gospel?
Jun 15, 2009
Dear Matt thankyou for your transparency. I was so moved to read your email about the signs without the gospel, and my heart was heavy. In Wales here we have been seeking the lord concerning that next move in our land, and many are meeting for repentance. We have to go back to the basics, the foundations of our faith to see why everything has gone so badly wrong. I believe that the Holy Spirit has been leading us into teaching on Jesus, what did he do, what did he say, what was his response to the world around him. Red letter days are good, these are days where the focus is upon the red letters in the bible, which are the words of Jesus in print. The signs and wonders are great, but unless we are grounded in the truth we cannot sustain that move of God, because to live in that place takes the purity and holiness that you speak of. Thank you my friend. Hope to see you again in Wales one day. Heather. Anglesey North Wales UK. www.ourchurch.com/member/k/keys
Spiritual Kindergarten
Jun 15, 2009
Thank you so much! What a sobering word! I feel like I'm constantly repeating spiritual kindergarten (LOVE that person, TRUST God), and as such I love what you are saying. I especially love how the signs follow preaching. I have never quite understood that so clearly until now, although I'm sure I've been told a million times. So bless you in keeping our Beautiful Jesus the main thing! I'm going to hang onto this newsletter for a while so that I can ponder this stuff and hopefully get it, for heaven's sake!
Post-Election Word
Nov 14, 2008
The November "A Word From Matt" concerning the election result is quite powerful. In the rush to say something/anything about the election some Christians have written things from a very slippery slope which makes what Matt wrote all-the-more mature and impacting. Thank you.
INSIGHTFUL TEACHING
Sep 22, 2008
I just read both parts of "What in the World is Happening", and I very much appreciate the depth of the insightful, Godly counsel and wisdom you share about our response as we see more and more leaders falling. Your message was right on target. I'll be forwarding to several friends in ministry. I commit to praying for you, and you pray for me, that we will "finish well" and "finish strong". Blessings, For the cause of His Kingdom. Norm Wilkie Tulsa Evangelistic Temple
God is Shaking it All!

Excellent article and I will testify that so have I gone through shaking, shifting and transition in all area of my life, it has not been fun but knowing God's grace and love it is purifying time. Keep it up, David
TIMELY WORDS
Sep 22, 2008
Pastor Matthew, Thank you so much for addressing "The Rise and Fall of Christian Leaders," and Christians in general. In the wake of all that has happened in the last few months in Christendom my heart has been grieving in many different ways. Thank you for reminding me to examine my own heart as the Word says, "it is deceitful above all else." It has been a sobering time so I will be careful to heed your timely words to reflect on my own integrity, honesty and relationship with my Lord. Praying for MSM daily...

Owen Sound
Jun 12, 2008
I just read the account written by Matt about the Owen Sound meetings. I was there. I’ve been struggling with and processing abuse from my childhood. Most of it was sexual and ritual abuse. I’ve been seeing times of explosive joy on this journey accompanied by times of sorrow and grief. It was like God was showing me time and time again that my healing was not all times of sadness. I had been struggling with inner turmoil most of my life starting as a teenager right up to the present. I’ve come a long way since then- God has been in the process of healing me from rejection, abandonment and low self worth. God has brought me out of a lot of oppression and depression too. The joy I experienced at the meeting was contagious- I felt it coming from Matt as he spoke. The more I think about it, I can feel the joy starting on my face- I know that He is not finished with me yet! There is still more joy to come I’m sure of it. I feel free-er than I ever have for a long time- my spirit has been asleep for so long- it was awakened back in January of this year and has been fed and nurtured by the Word. This latest outpouring has been a dose of good to my spirit and soul as well.
An instrument in our Father’s hand
Jan 26, 2008
Dear Matt Thank you for being an awesome instrument in our Father’s hand, especially the words that you post on the Elijahlist.
I love, love, love this word!
Jan 26, 2008
I Love Love Love this Word! What came to me as I read it is- the first four letters of re-strengthen spell REST- As we Rest in Him, He Re-strengthens the Foundation of Love in us. Glory to God!
You’re right on track
Jan 26, 2008
Thank you for your article that was posted on Elijah List. I noticed especially, the article number 10. It has been burning on my heart for over a year now. For me personally, I have not been sure how my ministry, which is very apostlic in nature because I am not intended to start another church, could work the way pastors think now. My young pastor is so set in his mind about the old way of doing things and the numbers growth of our own church. I believe we are living in the day of the "baptism of the Body". May the Lord help us to see His plan more clearly, and may the leaders be willing to follow it. Keep writing. You're on the right track. God bless you.
Really helpful to me
Jan 26, 2008
Thank you for the word that you gave on "Re-strengthening your foundation." It has been really helpful to me and I have passed it on to some of the Prophets that I know. God is saying the same thing and I really believe that HE wants us to listen to what is being said.
So right on!
Jan 26, 2008
Dear Matt, Thank you for that article on the Elijah List on walking in love and strengthening our foundations. That was so` right on and exactly what God is doing. It is so refreshing to really hear the truth of what God is saying and doing. Bravo to you.
Thank you for the word
Jan 26, 2008
Just wanted to say thank you for the Word... It is what the Lord has had me pray for the Nations for 10 years now... it is awesome to Pray the Fathers Heart Beat and even more awesome to be blessed to watch as He works it out... The Scriptures on Peter have been comming for the last 3 months in my quiet time and it is all the Father's Will... (Return Return Return to ME I will give you the Nations for an Inheritance!!!!) Be Blessed and thanks for the conformation... Come taste and See The LORD IS GOOD!
Fresh manna
Jan 26, 2008
Dear Matt, I just wanted to thank you for the fresh manna that God spoke through you in your recent word for 2008 about building a foundation God can use. It blessed me.
Solid Word
Jan 26, 2008
Great word from the Lord, Matt So solid and right on.
God is getting ready to shake things
Jan 26, 2008
I just read your word on the foundation of love on the Elijah list. I just had a dream where I saw the ground and then a big opening started happening & in the dream I said wow it's an earthquake, then I saw some kind of a big building behind me and it began to shake and crumble and again I said this is a big earthquake. I believe it is telling us that God is getting ready to shake things up and it is time to take a good look at everything about ourselves & church. All good things are not based on the right foundation. Thank you for your great word.
What an awesome God we serve
Jan 5, 2008
Hi Matt, Last night I had the privilege of hearing a complete teaching of yours for the first time- THE LOST ART OF TARRYING. I got up very early this morning & decided to spend an extended time in the Lord's presence. After more than two hours, I looked up & saw a small, emerald-like gemstone that had suddenly appeared on top of my bed. I felt honored that the Lord would make His presence known to me in such a creative way. What an awesome, ingenious God we serve! Thank you for being such an encouragement to the body of Christ.
Right on!!
Dec 9, 2007
Just read your article in Charisma re needing mentors. Right on! That's exactly where I'm at. I just turned 65, and as an ordained minister for over 40 years who doesn't pastor a church or have an official position in a church anymore, I feel I'm too young to be put out to pasture. Relationships and servanthood have been the hallmark of my life & ministry for decades. I spent the last 20 years in business, but the Lord is gradually taking me back into teaching, training & coaching ministers...esp. the younger generation.
Keep preaching this prophetic mesage!
Dec 9, 2007
Shalom from Israel, Your article in Charisma Magazine about releasing young people has really blessed me! One of the keys to being an "apostolic father" is the ability to release and send, since this is what apostolic ministry is all about anyways. I often weep when I see many leaders that fear releasing because of being threatened, or only release within their realm of influence or ministry organization where they can take the credit. It's like a father who forces his son to work the family business, when the son is in reality an artist. Or like a father who doesn't release his son at all and keeps him in the house until age 50. My wife and I want to raise up an apostolic messianic house church planting ministry among other things in Beer Sheva, Israel. One of the great needs in the body of Messiah here in Israel is the neccessity to release young leaders, and beyond just the local congregation or within an elder leaders ministry orgaization as assistants. Of course, we also need the elder leaders as cheerleaders and encouragers and wise counselors. I look forward to a day when there is a congregation on every corner, a ministry on every street, a messianic businessman that leads a business congregation, and we all work together for the Kingdom. I see division as a great thing, of course in unity and not divisiveness... but multiplication. The sad part is many of the leaders don't see this picture. Each one competing for the few believers within the local congregations, instead of realizing the vast potential harvest and the need for many harvesters. We also need more Luke 11 apostolic young people sent out into villages with the power of God for signs and wonders! I want to encourage you to keep preaching this prophetic message!
Your article confirmed our witness
Oct 26, 2007
Matt: Thank you for this prophetic word....I was praying this morning with another intercessor from South Carolina regarding some issues. There was an intense time of intercession which led us to cry out for the Corporate Body as well as personal issues. Immediately, the SC intercessor saw a mantle given from the heavens. She said it was clear and that it was concerning creativity, the marketplace, etc. I am presently in Washington DC praying for the Nations..that His Kingdom Will Come. Having this new mantle has greatly encouraged me for the days that lie ahead. Your article read today has confirmed our witness this morning. Thank you for your obedience and for your words of great encouragment. I sense you are one who walks in humility though you are greatly gifted. Remain in this posture for the evidence of your heart will be reflected in the increased empowering of that which you say both corporately and personally.

Heaven is Releasing New Assignments - Pick Up Your Mantle
Oct 19, 2007
The part of the word about you "Picking up Kathryn Kuhlman" and bringing her in, was not only about her mantle and what she carried and what you, Matt, picked up and brought in. it's also about the Elderly and about picking them up and carrying them (caring for them). the Lord is trying to get "OUR ATTENTION". We need to honor that generation. I have actually started my own business this year as a "Caregiver" to the elderly, the Lord opened the door and I stepped through and it has been the most amazing adventure I've ever had with him. Our elderly people are on his heart, the body of Christ are the only one's who are going to honor them in their golden years and love them and take care of them. The world puts them away, and we are to "Bring them in" and honor them. Matt your word has a vast meaning. We have put so much attention on the youth that we have forgotten the Golden generation, the one's who have carried us.... Ministering to the one is very much on the Lords heart. When we honor this, that's when all the rest falls into place. Bring them in, one at a time....
Heaven is Releasing New Assignments - Pick Up Your Mantle
Oct 19, 2007
Dear Brother Matt in Christ, Thank you so much for this recent word put out 10-19-07. I had recently stood up in church and declared that there was coming upon the United States a time when ALL WILL SEE that God is going to bring creative miracles and instant deliverance to those that have been suffering and in bondage for a very long time. Praise God, I sat on a platform with Kathryn Kuhlman as a young woman and even though I didn't recognize it at the time, I NOW realize that God had planned her allowing people on the stage (which she never liked to do) so that I could have that mantle of healing. I sat just three feet from her the whole meeting. I was newly saved and was not fully aware of what I was experiencing. I have had to some degree a healing mantle, but know now that it is going to increase and fulfill what God put in my heart many years ago. He told me that my last years would be like Kathryn Kuhlman's. I have also had prophecy that I would carry a mantle of creative miracles and deliverance. I have had many trials over the years, but through the Lord he has brought me through and I WILL see my full destiny come to pass. Praise the Lord!!!!!!! Blessings on you and your family and ministry.

Oct 19, 2007
HI Matt. I read your article on mantles with great interest. I wrote this poem below a couple of months ago while meditating and when I read about your mantles I felt it was a confirmation. See; the stage is set, See; the guard stand waiting. The curtains are ready to be drawn open For the King stands at the gate. In full array for battle, All the horses are there waiting, There the chariots of Elijah are preparing to go forth. Standing in the golden presence of the King of Glory Elijah stands with whip in hand with his mantle on his shoulder; see the horsemen mount the stallions harnessed and ready, the purpose of their master to fulfill. Watch and see, Elijah enters his chariot, Look at the heavens as they prepare the way to take the beating of the horse's hoofs, For the clouds of glory reveal a highway. Elijah's chariots are ready to ride the skies. Daughters of Elijah, all heaven is awaiting, Set your gaze as flint to see the New Jerusalem. Watch for the chariots, they are coming with mounted horses leading. Do not miss Elijah's mantle when he passes by your way. Stand on guard upon your post. Watch for the prophet's golden chariot Filled with mantles, double and triple portions for the Faithful watching daughters of Jerusalem. See; your destiny is before you, Elijah's joy to give you each A mantle of his own for the Father's daughters to possess. Be united with the King of Kings, for His desire is for you, To complete His work in and though you to fulfill your destiny. Longing for His bride, To see her fulfill her place beside him, Dressed for battle, with sword ready in its place upon her side. Watch Her King, for when He sees her, stretches His arms out wide. He clothes her in pure, white linen. She is ready to come and meet the Lover of her soul. No greater glory will she ever know, Such as the glory of the Lord and His New Jerusalem.

Heaven is Releasing New Assignments - Pick Up Your Mantle
Oct 19, 2007
I want to tell you, this is confirmation to the pull I have had towards healing; I have never felt the need to be able to heal before until the last month or so. I have been praying for God to work through me in the manner along with other things because the world is in a place where they need to SEE God’s work. So many people don’t believe in the un-seen. I feel a pressing on the “visual” to the people that don’t believe. I have also felt this pressing for the need to have folks delivered. The Lord has given me a few visions; in the visions, the Lord shows Himself as a Lion. Thank you for putting this online, I know the Lord is working in a way the world has no idea about.

Dear Matt Sorger, In reference to your article: "HEAVEN IS RELEASING NEW ASSIGNMENTS--PICK UP YOUR MANTLE," you may like to hear testimonies of some of these mantles that have been released. Until I was 60 you couldn't get me in front of a mike or do anything so public as do a book signing, but God told me to start speaking. Very reluctantly I did...finally. The book I have on the market is titled: DAWNING: THE NEXT GREAT MOVE OF GOD. I have just set up my own studio to broadcast and Pod cast my own talk show. I have been on many radio talk shows and am now ready to start my own. Since I am also a webmaster I can be my own technician. The vision God gave me requires a large tract of land, so I am waiting for the mantle God placed on Isaac as he was taking possession of the land of his inheritance in Genesis 26. I will be 71 next month, and am going strong!!
Thank you for this incredible timely word!
Oct 19, 2007
Dear Matt, As a worship leader you have been a blessing to my life for years through your writing and teachings. Thank you for this incredible timely word. Just want to confirm one point, this very morning, on Good Morning America, each and every guest (with the exception of Hilary Clinton) was testifying and giving Glory to God. (i.e. tornado survivors at a church, autistic boy found who had been lost, cancer survivors) I thought I was watching the 700 Club, and thank the Lord for Glenn Beck! The most anti-God liberal networks are praising God and the devil is paying the bill! Thank you for your faithfulness to the costly call.... You are a genuine gift to many more than you Know!
This word is a confirmation
Oct 19, 2007
Thank you for today's word. It is a confirmation to what I had been getting from the Lord. A few days ago I had a dream that I was in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica at a neighbors home and a man stopped by (don't ask me who because I don't know) with an old box of old books and on the covers were written Kathryn Khulman. The Holy Spirit was upon on me all day, flooded me with tears after I got on the website and came across Benny Hinn's book on her and noticed that the color of the books in the box was the same as Benny Hinn's book. I said Lord what are you saying to me? I know somewhere, somehow I'm going to get a confirmation of this powerful dream and the Holy Spirit's presence. Be blessed and continue in the holiness of His work!!
Thank you for sharing it
Oct 19, 2007
I read what you wrote about the Mantles, Wonderful!! I love it and thank you for sharing it... I've been moving things out of my life, TV shows, hobbies, etc. I want more of God and to please Him and that seems to me all that matters anymore. My husband is doing the same thing as we grow closer to GOD in these last and final days!
Bring it on Lord!!
Oct 19, 2007
Matt: Thanks for this awesome right now Rhema word! It was so encouraging for Karen and I in this season of waiting. We say: BRING IT ON LORD!
It was right on time for me
Oct 19, 2007
Dear Matt, I just got through reading your word on the Elijah List, it was right on time for me as I had not known about how mantles were placed on God's children. I am a evangelist and the Lord has had me in a mode of getting delivered from many things as I know for sure that he has awesome plans for me in ministry and otherwise, and I want eveything that he has for me to come to pass! While I was reading your great words I asked the Lord if he had a mantle for me and I lifted my hands up to him and he made it seem heavy in my hands as he was taking my hands down slowly. I look forward to hearing more from you on the Elijah List, keep up the great work that you are doing! May God Richly Bless You and Give you The Desires Of Your Heart!!
Thank you for this timely message
Oct 19, 2007
Hi Matt. Thank you for this timely message. I know of and love Kathryn Kuhlman. I remember her saying that loving God would cost you EVERYTHING. I remember watching her meetings and saying what you said, and how it brought back so many wonderful memories for me. God Richly Bless you.
Your word brought understanding
Oct 19, 2007
Dear Matt Sorger, I have never emailed anyone in response to a prophetic word from the Elijah List, but do occasionally read them. My husband and I direct a house of prayer in Richmond, VA and have a citywide ministry to pastors and intercessors in our city as well. I was absolutely FLOORED when I read your recent prophetic word about new mantles being released. Last week I had a dream - it was short - but I was in a meeting where there were many other people. I noticed that some were leaders from our city, however, there were more. I saw specifically one leader who is with Christian International and has a church here. There was an elderly woman ministering. I new that she moved in signs and wonders -- I thought the name Patricia King but knew that this woman was not her. She walked over to me in the dream and laid her hands on my face (she embraced each side of my head). She spoke something of miracles and signs and wonders, but I was not clear. Then she said a special angel was assigned to me for the next 3 years. END OF DREAM I awoke. The next day I went to my office and shared with our prophetic team the dream. I did not know who the older person was. The NEXT NIGHT I had another dream. In the dream I was sitting on the couch with an older woman next to me. She was sharing that it was the end of her course, it was time for her to go. I immediately recognized her as being the woman from the dream the night before. I said, "You are the woman in my dream last night". She smiled and placed her open hand on the front of my face. She lost her strength. The next thing I knew, I was holding her under her arms and supporting her as I led her to her bedroom. But I had to physically embrace her and support her weight as I assisted her into the room. END OF DREAM. You have no idea how much your obedience to share the word you received has meant to me. I know that it is a corporate word, and I knew at the time of my two dreams that it was for many -- however, I also knew that it was meant for me personally and was a word to me directly. We have been pressing into intimacy with the Lord and teaching lifestyle for some time now. The word that you spoke is a strength to us -- and it will affect us here in Richmond, VA. I pray that many will hear the word that you spoke and take it seriously. It is a NOW word -- but we have a choice of whether we receive what the Lord is saying or not. I think it is important for people to realize that they really don't have to "work up" receiving a mantle. If they are pursuing intimacy with the Lord -- setting their gaze on Him, the mantle will come. He rewards those that diligently seek Him. Thank you again. Your word has brought understanding. I am now going to look up a picture of Katheryn Kulman to see if she resembles the woman in my dream.
Gods presence is so strong
Oct 19, 2007
This article has truly blessed my soul. I knew that God was up to something, because for the last 8 weeks, all I have done is weep for no apparent reason. I feel God's presence so strong. Last week I called for 5 women that I know, who know how to come into the presence of God through worship. We were in HIS presence for 3 hours, which only seemed like 30 minutes. May God bless you for sharing this.
Your article was just for me
Oct 19, 2007
I am writing you because your article is of interest to me. Because one time in my pray time I asked God where was the mantle for this time. The Lord have had me to do much research on the Men and Women of God that he used in their day and times to carry out his work. I had just asked God why am I receving this article at this time. I have read Kathryn Kuhlman books and even Smith Wigglesworth book. I have studied all the Great Men and Women of God in their times that God used them. I appreciate you writing about this because it is true of what you have spoken. Just know that this have come into my life for time and season of my life. What you have spoken God is bringing me into this season. I didn't even realize that God has a mantle until he revealed it to me. I am going to church if you have more articles I would like to read them. I am just coming unto the knowledge of this season so we thank God for you writing what the Spirit of the Living God is doing in this time.
True confirmation of what I had received
Oct 19, 2007
Reply to your recently submitted Elijah List prophecy. In 1982 as I was driving home from church one evening, I caught the end of a radio program with a woman who had a very funny voice. I was blessed by what she said and I listened until the end. At the end of the program the announcer came on and said "thank you for your faithfulness over the years to this ministry but tonight is the very last program that we will be airing. Kathryn Khulman Ministries will no longer be on the air". I went to reach for the dial to change the channel and a voice said just as loud as can be "she must decrease that you must increase". I was stunned and thought how could that be. How could I have a ministry like Kathryn Khulman especially since I always made fun of her when I was a teenager. I thought about this over the years and have come to realize that God wasn't speaking to me single but to the Body of Christ. He was going to release the anointing that one person had carried onto the whole body. I was so excited to read Matt's word as it was a true confirmation of what I had received so many years ago. My husband and I have been directors of a Healing Room and are truly believing for a great outpouring of this anointing upon the Body of Christ. Jesus went about doing good healing all those who were oppressed of the devil. Deliverance and healing. Thank you Matt for the word.
God put a mantle on me
Oct 19, 2007
Matt, I just finished reading your article regarding "The Mantle Room of Heaven." I know what you are saying in terms of God releasing Mantles is true. I just attended the Voice of The Apostles conference in Harrisburg, Pa, hosted by Randy Clark. When on the last night of the conference, Saturday, Nov. 3rd, I was up in front of the alter, just worshipping God. The Holy Spirit was already all over me, because we were deep in worship. Then suddenly, I felt the Lord just drape something over my shoulders. It was like when you put a coat over someone shoulders, but it was gentle, warm, and had a degree of weight to it, but not very heavy. I did not want to move, because I was afraid it would lift. Then what came in my spirit was "this is a mantle". I had not read your article regading "the mantle rooms in heaven", I just read that today. I was telling someone in my Church about it, and he asked whether or not I had read your article. I said no, but I will as soon as I get home. I am now seeking the Lord in terms of what type of mantle. I am one of your partners, please pray with me regarding this matter.
You were speaking right to me
Oct 19, 2007
Hi , I read about your article "Pick up your Mantle" and I really enjoyed it for I felt like you were speaking to me. I just have a little concern(or say contribution) about "Visitation from the Lord require you being in a specific place at a specific time" I agree with Elisha being at the right place at the right time. But with the examples you gave based on your own experiences, it sound like you were impacted with those anointing powers because you were at those locations. To me, I think it is not because you were there physically, but rather you were spiritually ready with expectation to receive Gods anointing. I am saying this because I could go to the same places you experienced God's power but if my mind is not ready with a desire and broken heart and expectation as Elisha, I would not receive anything from God. Thank you so much and it is my prayer that the Lord would continue to open your eyes to see greater things that you can not even imagine, to you.

God bless you brother. I loved your article about the mantles. Recently when I went to sister Paula White’s Satisfied Women’s Retreat in Orlando the last weekend of August, when sister Paula finished preaching and was ministering, the Lord had me to lay prostrate on the floor and when I did so, I felt the Lord put over me a mantle. I don’t know the specifics as to what I’m supposed to do, but in my church I am in the worship team. I know I have a prophetic gift. My pastor comes out on TV too, (CTN network) and funny you spoke about the TV media mantle. My pastor definitely has a special anointing for this. His messages are powerful and so concise. My husband and I love him and we are doing all we can to help our pastor in his ministry. God bless you brother Matt.

Hi Matt! What a encouraging word my friend! I wanted to confirm this word. 3 weeks ago I received a awesome dream where the Lord took an Olive green shirt that I was wearing (which is my favorite shirt in the natural) and with the wind of His Spirit took the shirt and brought it up with the wind, and it became a large mantle and wrapped it around me. In my dream there were 2 men that I had begun inner healing and deliverance with the previous week. I believe that God has given to me a mantle of peace and healing. This mantle was also prophesied over me last year at the generational conference through Kansas City IHOP prophetic team in Orlando Fl. When I read the article today, my heart just sucked up the beauty and faithfulness of God! Over the last 3 months the Lord has done some major house cleaning within me, and it has been because of a drive for intimacy with him. More intentional prayer and face time...more worship throughout the day and night and the constant awareness of his presence. I am ever so humbled to be a part of "The wearers of the Mantles of God".
Heaven is Releasing New Assignments - Pick Up Your Mantle
Oct 19, 2007
I never heard of you before Monday morning (10-22-07). I was directed to The Elijah List where I came upon a Word you gave entitled, "HEAVEN IS RELEASING NEW ASSIGNMENTS- PICK UP YOUR MANTLE". What only the Holy Spirit knew was: I was struggling that Monday morning. I was fighting so hard to encourage myself in the Lord... I have been praying, sowing, and believing for a long time for God to send my Elijah to me... I pray, send him/her to my father's field where I am faithful and busy working..... That particular Monday I was almost despondent in my spirit... I was growing weary in the wait.... impatient... and the Holy Spirit was with me. He encouraged me. When I read your post it was complete and total confirmation of everything our precious Holy Spirit had spoken to me... and then some! I am renewed and refreshed and I can work and wait and watch in greater peace. Thank you for your hearing ear. Be blessed.

Dear Matt, I just read the article posted by the ElijahList, (....Pick Up Your Mantle ), and I would like to share with you what I heard the Lord say and what He showed me earlier in this year. On April 18, 2007, while in a time of prayer along with others at church, the Lord spoke this to me; "There is a mantle coming upon My people, the mantle is falling. Let the sound of freedom ring. Freedom will be heard with a clear unmatched sound....," I'm not sure of the date, but sometime prior to that, I saw in a vision what I recognized to be a mantle. Although I had never seen a mantle before this, I knew that's what the Lord was showing me. It was something similar to a blanket, except clearly not for the purpose of warmth. This covering that I saw was so beautiful! It was a crimson color, but yet not any exact color that I can actually say would completely describe it. It shimmered all over as if it were covered with a layer of some kind of shiny material that also gave it a softened appearance in it's color. There were designs in it that I can only describe best to say it looked as if they were embroidered into the material, although I know that is not an accurate depiction, but I know no other way to describe it. The designs looked very much like vines with leaves and they sparkled like diamonds. Within the vine-like decor there appeared to be silver threads throughout it. It was truly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and the description I am giving of it does not do it justice. While I was looking at this vision, I heard the Lord say, "This can only be received in humility". I'm not for sure what this mantle represents, but by it's beauty I am drawn to that it must have some connection with the Glory of the Lord being released to His body. Be blessed in the goodness of the Lord,

Hi Matt, I was standing in our church last week, 7 Oct 2007, worshipping when I saw a short vision. It was clear and puzzled my mind. This was the vision: I saw a very narrow alley. On the other side of the alley I saw the Glory of God in all its brilliance. As I spoke to the Lord about it the Lord gave me the interpretation: “My people / the church must go through a very narrow time and then they will go into eternal Glory!” I sense that the Lord is calling the church to sanctify them according to: 2Chr. 7:13 - 14 "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Love in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Greetings, I was greatly encouraged by this particulat message. My husband, myself and our son have recently left a fellowship of being there 28 years because of some sexual immorality that was going on. We were shown by the Lord the scipture in Revelation, when God was speaking to the 7 churches and one in particular was about tolerating the spirit of Jezabel. This has been going on for years and our eyes were opened to it and by His strengh and grace alone, we were able to leave. We still have our daughter and 2 grand children there. We knew when we left, we would be shunned because this is what they do when people leave and I was guilty of doing this myself. I have since repented and gone to those I wounded in this and asked them to forgive me. My husband and I have forgiven all those in the fellowship that we needed to, but our son is so wounded and angry he is not able to do this at this time. My heart is heavy for the separation between my daughter and grand kids, but we continue to pray that God will set the captives free and pour out His mercy. I am so encouraged and thankful for this message. Bless You.

I just read your article on Elijah's List. Wow! I'm so happy! I'm not crazy. Two weeks ago I felt GOD was saying a great shaking is coming and whatever is not of HIM will be shaken and destroyed, and I felt very strongly that someone in our church needed to take a wooden stick, a staff I guess it's called, and as that person struck the ground, chains and bondages and things were being utterly destroyed with each strike of the ground. I saw white and yellow light in a ripple effect extending through the whole ground and it got stronger with each stike and I saw things leaving (black shadows in all different sizes) out of the east door. I don't think it was received well, but anyway, this brings great peace to me because I know it is of GOD. I can only pray the leaders in the church will have eyes to see and ears to hear. Please pray for us to be obedient to GOD and to fear GOD alone and not man. May GOD pour out more blessings and more anointing on you and your ministry to bring HIM more honor, glory, and praise.

Thank you JESUS!, For Matt Sorger~ For having an ear to hear what the spirit of the Lord has been revealing to the church for the last 3yrs. I have long waited, to see this timely word come to past and God said now is the acceptable time. As a vessel of the Lord you have confirmed, enlightened and exposed the trick of the enemy which has crept unfortunately into the body of Christ. Through your submission to the Holy Spirit, I have truly been blessed by this word. As an intercessor when the Lord gives you these issues to pray about, they often and most times involve leaders, so what do one do? We continue to seek the Lord and pray, asking the Lord to bring total healing and deliverance to the body for His Glory. Bless God, for the things He is doing. Stay in tuned with God! May His blessing overtake you for bold truth being released and revealed globally and nationally. The Earth is the Lords, and they that dwell within! In awe of His awesomeness.

Dear Matt I am subscriber of ElijahList from South Korea. Today, I read your inspired message – “There is a shaking happening across the corporate body of Christ”. And it gave me perspectives about my current shaking situation. Shaking is uncomfortable even dangerous, but, I believe there is no way except going into the God’s shaking. I believe your message from the Spirit of God and very in time. I want to walk with the Spirit more closely with any cost. Please pray for me and my family (wife and a son) to keep challenging with listening to the Lord’s voice.

I had a dream a few nights ago that goes along with your prophetic word I read today on the Elijah list. I dreamed that I was looking through a key hole and it was beautiful. What I saw there was a rolling hill with beautiful green grass, the trees were in bloom, blue skies and white puffy clouds. When I stepped back away from the door it (the door) was a brown ordinary door. Not a door that you would normally take an interest in. The key hole was in the shape of a HEART. The Lord started speaking to me. He said "That is your promised land but you can't go in until you are the shape of the keyhole." He said "The heart is my heart and you have to have my heart. The only way to have my heart is to have my love and my compassion for people. You have to start praising me for all things. When you are up, PRAISE ME when you are down, PRAISE ME. Praise me in ALL THINGS then you will have my heart and THEN you will be shaped to fit in the keyhole because YOU ARE THE KEY to YOUR promised land. Thank you so much for your word. It just confirmed in me what God had already said. I bless you with Health, Happiness, Success and Prosperity, May you walk every day in the favor of the Lord.

Dear Matt, I just want to share with you that your article about God shaking the church is in answer to my prayer. I am a messenger sent by God to a local church here in Cape Town, and my instruction was to go and dig up the foundation. As I prayed God showed me what is in the foundation and many of the things you pointed out are in that foundation, I saw Jesus standing in a vision looking down into the foundation trench and looking at these things in the trench and saying "This is what they are building on" So I prayed for more info about the foundation, and I believe that your article is giving me more insight about the foundation. Thankyou and God bless.

It was amazing reading Matt's word on the Elijah List then the same was posted on your MSM website. I was asking God this past week for some confirmation of the prophecy that the Lord had me declare over Lancaster the weekend you came down. The vision was that there was a shaking and uprooting. I saw these buildings, some where still standing because their foundation was stong and of Jesus. Those buildings that were shaken and fell was that they did not have a strong foundation as it was mixed with man and other religious ways. The Lord had me say that there was to be shakening of the church, who will stand during these days and remain true, fearless, and strong in these days?! Anyway, I just wanted to share that and thank God for the confirmation. The Lord has me moving into the city of Harrisburg to love, love, love. All I want to do is love the broken, bruised, and unlovely.... the drunks, the prostitutes, users and abusers. Vision is unfolding day after day. I cannot thank my Daddy enough. Oh Jesusss!

Dear Matt Sorger, I read your prophetic message on the Elijah List dated Oct 12th and when I read it I almost screamed. The only thing that restrained me was that I was at work. You see I am a school teacher. But once I read it completely, I KNEW I had to email you to tell about a prophetic dream I had had that same night. Before I begin, let me explain that I went to Israel last summer June 2006 and since I came back I have been having prophetic dreams and visions. Just a few weeks ago I dreamed about the number 241. Immediately Acts 2:41 came to my mind, where 3,000 souls were added to the church. Later I was directd to Ps. 24:1. A couple of weeks before that I dreamed of the numbers 50 and 100. 50 means Pentecost and 100 means children of the promise. From this I received the revelation that the Lord is pouring out a corporate anointing on the body of Christ, and that we, are the Children of the promise. We are the Joshua generation who will actually do GREAT exploits for Our God because He is pouring out the oil found in Acts 2:17. It's a fresh anointing for the Body of Christ. He is empowering us to do the work. The time is NOW!!! However last night's dream was so powerful that I simply have to share it with you. Here is the dream. I dreamed I was somewhere outdoors with the minister of music at my church and his wife. We were watching two huge white doves burn but they were not really aflame but were simply smoldering. Part of their wings were turning black because the fire was not hot enough to set them ablaze. Then one of the doves fell off of the pyre and the minister of music picked it up with his bare hands and put it back with the other dove. Suddenly a huge blaze went up and the fire re-ignited so high that the flames actually went up into the trees. We were in what looked like a forest, but this fire was not harmful. Not one tree caught fire, but the fire blazed high and brightly. It reminded me of the emblem of the Holy Spirit with the dove and the flame of fire, I was so blessed that when I awoke the Lord spoke these words out of my mouth, "pure white snow". Snow is a symbol of (spotlessness and radiance) and we know that fire either burns up things or it purifies. God is re-igniting the fire of the Church. He is sending a fresh fire from heaven and either it will consume us or purify us. I am so so grateful to God that He would share such wonderful revelation with the likes of men who are not worthy to even call upon His Holy name. The fire in the Body of Christ has been smoldering but suddently God is pouring out fresh fire and re-igniting us with HIS passion for souls and setting us ablaze to reap the end-time harvest. There will be no more "church as usual". Everything will be changed by His presence. The Lord is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh. The young men shall see visions and the old men shall dream dreams. I am so excited about this new season. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year marked the beginning of the "new thing" that God is doing. Last November the Lord woke me up around 3:00 in the morning and gave me this word. God said this is a season of celebration, marked by GREAT JOY. The Lord also said there would be five things that accompany this season. 1) Unprecedented soul salvations (literally thousands will get saved in our services). 2)Unusual healings, miracles, and deliverances. 3)Debt cancellation. 4)Radical worship & praise (All night long. It won't stop.) 5)Transference of GREAT wealth-for the upbuilding of the Kingdom. God is NOW putting this wealth into the hands of men and women of God of integrity who are called to be Kingdeom builders. This is financial resources we need for the end-time harvest. (Five) is the number of grace. We are about to experience GREAT GRACE. The Lord also said to me "I have accelerated time". Matt, this is not about to happen, it is happening NOW. The Lord is releasing this anointing and everything we need to do the work. This is a special and divine season. I just wanted to share this with you, especially after I read your email about the corporate shaking of the Body of Christ. May God bless you richly and thank you for allotting some of your time. In Jesus' name.

Thank you for your word regarding the three idols. While reading the paragraph I inserted below, it reminded me of a terrible incident that happened between my 16 year old daughter (at the time) and her youth leader's wife. My daughter, who is now 20, has just now gone back to church with me. We have changed churches also. Thank you for exposing this terrible idol within the church. I will pass this information along to my daughter. Again, thank you. "Under the guise of "submission" people have subjected themselves to unhealthy control and abuse. For example, you may have heard, "If you leave this church, you'll never go anywhere. If you leave this church, you're out from under my covering and the devil's going to get you." This spirit uses manipulation and fear to control people. That is not the Spirit of God."

Coming out of the wilderness
Jun 25, 2007
Praise the Lord! I had to take this time to email you and let you know how much your teaching, "Time to come out of the Wilderness" has blessed my life. A friend of mine had given it to me weeks ago and I had placed it in my bag (and totally forgot about it). This morning however, I was crying out to God and my prayer was, "Lord am I doing this right?" I have been in the wilderness for a while now, and while I feel as if I am walking in obedience, and remaining in faith, my circumstances aren't changing, leaving me to question if I am missing it somewhere. After prayer, I began going through my things and I came across this CD. I immediately knew it was the Holy Spirit responding to my prayer as I listened to your teaching regarding the four wilderness' and the importance of each. The Holy Spirit later revealed that I am exactly where He would have me to be and that I am simply to trust Him. I so thank God for you and your ministry and for teaching on a subject that is not always popular but so desperately needed in the body of Christ today. God Bless you Man of God and I look forward to hearing more of your teachings. In Jesus Name, Tiffani F.
Your words were so confirming
Apr 24, 2007
Dear Matt, I just finished reading your April 24 contribution to the Elijah List. I wanted to share with you how pertinent and confirming your words were. Several weeks ago I traveled from Colorado to Wisconsin due to a call from Hospice pertaining to my dad's pending death. All of my siblings were called home as we walked through my dad's final days. He passed peacefully but not before consciously giving his "final blessing" to his children. I know that God opened a door for us to receive all the blessings and unfulfilled promises of past generations. I opened my heart to receive all that God had for me to bring forth His purposes and plans. I am still with my mom, walking with her through her journey without my dad. The enemy in my camp are my siblings and other family members. Somehow, as only God can, He is bringing peace to a family filled with strife and competition. I am grateful for the love of my Father and the promises of His Word. I know that this is the year He has set aside for me to bring fulfillment to the many words He has lovingly spoken to me. Blessings to you. I pray continued discipline in your life, to hear and obediently speak forth all He gives you. In His Name, Cathy F.
The year of completion
Apr 24, 2007
Matt Sorger; This is not the first time you have had a confirming impartation from the Lord for me and my house. I was recently told by the Holy Spirit, to rest and take a Sabbatical leave of absence from the ministry of exhortation I had been giving over last year and the beginning of this one. We are indeed coming into our year of completion, and an abundant life in kelach, means to: complete, maturity x old age, and we have seen in the spirit, and the natural, a possessing of the land where seed promises have been sown in us from the Lord many years ago, and are now about to breakthrough with acceleration and a double increase. Completion was a word I received in the spirit, from the Lord Dec. 6th, 06, and has had no end of blessing to my husband and I in the natural & spirit realm. No doubt there has been a great cleansing and pruning/purging, done by the Father of lights, individually and corporately. Some 3 1/2 years ago while serving as leaders in a Healing Rooms assignment, we saw your impartation on Joseph and the season of being lifted out of the pit, and brought into the palace, and so on, this was a huge confirmation to us at a time when we were in deepest need of it. We are just now beginning to see the manifestations of that anointed word and witness to our spirits, as well as yours. Get ready for a new time of "teras-dunamis!" Thanks Matt-- Keep hearing & seeing, Shalom Carolina

Significant changes in September
Oct 16, 2006
I just read your message on September and the Jewish Holy Days. Recently for the very first time, I realized that God brought major changes in my life, during the month of Sept. I was able to trace back nearly 40 years, where September marked significant changes. It just happened again this Sept 2006. I knew it could NOT be a coincidence, but I didn't know it was actually a way that God works either. Thank you so much,.... Bonnie,

Hi Matt & MSM Thanks for the monthly CD mailing Your Wilderness Is Over! I wanted to testify to the goodness of God! My daughter who is Brittany was adopted by my husband James and I. Brittany has been a part of our family since she was four. We adopted her at 9 years of age and she is now 14. I was notified by Children's Aid Society that Brittany has received an inheritance from her grandfather (birth mom's father).

Intimacy with the Holy Spirit
Aug 30, 2006
Thanks for your e-mail and for resetting my account. I'm excited to be giving more to this ministry, I wish it could be more. I was praying the other day and I felt the Lord told me that great increase is coming to Matt's ministry and that I should give more, not only to help aide this increase but also for increased blessing. I am excited for what the Lord has done and what He is about to do in this ministry. I have been SO incredibly blessed by Matt's ministry; I can't properly put it into words. I attempted to tell Matt how blessed I have been by his ministry when I met him briefly at the Youth Explosion a few weeks ago in PA, but really could not properly relay what has happened in my heart. A few months ago the Lord told me so clearly to leave the church and the ministry that I had been a part of for over 7 years. It's a very long and complicated story, but it was one of the hardest decisions I had to make because I was letting go of what I thought was my destiny. I had to deal with a lot of emotions when I left and one of the things I dealt with was hopelessness. This is where Matt's ministry came in. A friend of mine had been at Brian Lake's tent meeting in Morgantown, PA and mentioned Matt's name. His name stuck with me, I knew that name from somewhere. I looked him up online and immediately recognized him from a Todd Bentley meeting I went to in Mt Ephraim, NJ, many years ago. I started to look around the website and found the free teaching on Prophetic Destiny. I downloaded it and wept as I listened to it. When Matt talked about his testimony, and how He had been so hungry for the Holy Spirit as a teenager and would listen to worship tapes in his room and cry out for the Lord to come, I wept. I remembered my teenage years, I was the same way. I worshipped for hours until one day the Holy Spirit visited me and I was never the same again. I was so on fire for a number of years but then I "settled" in the ministry I was a part of and allowed school and work and ministry to consume my life and really become my idol. As I was listening to Matt speak, it hit me like a lightening bolt, I heard the Lord say "the difference is that he kept seeking me." I was a mess for days, all the blame shifting and excuses I had for where I was at in life had no hold anymore. I had missed 7 years of intimacy with the Holy Spirit and NEVER even realized it! How could I have not even seen what I had missed? I was so grieved in my spirit after I heard that tape and was crying out to the Lord for restoration for weeks. But as I continued to listen to Matt's teaching (and many other teachings after that), and looking at the photos on the website, and looking at how the Lord moves through his ministry, this extreme holy jealousy came over me. Not for the works, but for the intimacy that produces the works. It drove me for days, I would think of a teaching I heard or a story I heard on a CD and I would just cry out to the Lord to come to that place of intimacy. I was so hungry that I drove almost 2 hours to see Matt at a youth convention (even though I'm too old for youth conventions) because I just was hungry for every ounce of the anointing I could get. I never go up to ministers or try to get attention, but I was so hungry and so blessed, so I went up to him to thank him and he prayed for me for intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Ever since that night, the Lord has been taking me to new levels of intimacy like I have never known. I feel like I was seeing in black/white and now I'm seeing in color. I have no idea where the Lord is taking me next, the destiny I thought He had for me is not an option anymore, but I don't really care because I've finally found what I needed, which is such sweet intimacy with the Holy Spirit. I know this is just the beginning of a whole new place and really would not be here if it were not for the impartation and the jealousy that was stirred in me through this ministry.

Into the Holy of Holies with Matt
Aug 30, 2006
Matt Sorger’s mom was dramatically healed by the power of the Holy Spirit when he was 14 years old. Since then hunger for God’s Presence and Glory have been the driving force in his life, Matt said when he visited Denmark. By Mette Schwartz And Henri Nissen
Source: Danish Newspaper “Udfordringen” August 30 - 2006 When Matt Sorger’s mom received healing during a Mass in a Catholic Church, she was knocked back ten feet by the invisible power of the Holy Spirit. “It was actually a quiet Catholic mass,” Matt said when we met him in Kolding, “my mom went forward to receive prayer from the priest who was filled with the Holy Spirit.” “When the priest prayed for her, the power of the Holy Spirit came and threw her more than ten feet back through the air. Her whole body was shaking under the power of the Holy Spirit. She thought she had died and gone to Heaven, because she had no idea what was going on. She had never experienced the Holy Spirit before. But when she got up she was completely healed,” Matt Sorger said. The Whole Family Receives Jesus That very week, Matt, his father and the rest of his family received Jesus. The mother’s healing convinced them. Matt Sorger was only 14 years old. “From that moment I became very hungry for God. I always had a desire to get closer to the Holy Spirit and I pressed in to get a hold of God,” said a smiling Matt, who today is 33 years old and has a worldwide healing and prophetic ministry. Danish Event Coordinator In the Spring, Kim Nielsen of Denmark moved with his wife and two daughters to Long Island, NY, where Matt Sorger is based. Kim works there as the Event Coordinator and helps arrange Matt’s meetings. Matt’s parents were also with Matt in Denmark. They quit their jobs a few years ago and now work fulltime with Matt. Was Frustrated with God “As a young person, I prayed for people and nothing happened. I was frustrated,” Matt admitted. However he chose not to give up: “I pressed in more after God. I loved the feeling of God’s presence during corporate church meetings. I loved to worship God. But when I came home and sat down on my bed and wanted to talk with God, I didn’t feel anything…it was just dry.” “I said, ‘God, I want you here when I’m alone like I have you at the meetings in the church with the others.’” Therefore Matt made a decision. He got a little tape recorder, put a worship tape in and started to listen to the music from the church during his personal prayer time. “I sang the same songs as at church when I was alone. Day after day I went into my room and listened to the worship music, and I felt absolutely nothing. But I decided to still worship God, even though I didn’t feel anything. Day after day, week after week and month after month. Nothing! “Some people give up, because they don’t feel anything. You must not give up. You have to keep pressing in. It’s like when you are digging a well and some dirt is in it. You dig and dig, until you finally hit the water. That was what I did.” Breakthrough “But four months later I was standing in my room, and I remember that moment, where my hands were lifted in worship and I sang the same song I had sung a million times, and suddenly something happened. I could feel something over my head opening up, and I could feel God’s presence coming down from my head and down over my body. “Wow, I thought. I was about 16 years old when Heaven opened over me, and God’s glory came down upon me and I was caught up into His presence – into the Holy of Holies. Since that day it has been like this – when I just whisper the name Jesus, the same thing happens. I can feel the person of the Holy Spirit coming over me. “Once I wanted to test and see if God would come. I was a college student at the time, and I was standing and doing my laundry. I thought to myself, ‘Holy Spirit, I wonder if you would come and be with me now here in the laundry room?’ “I can still remember the sound of the washer as I lifted my hands in worship and said ‘Jesus.’ And, in that same moment the Holy Spirit came upon me in the laundry room, and I thought, ‘God can even come into a laundry room.’ “Then I realized, that in the moment you lift up your heart in worship to Jesus, no matter the time or place, the presence of the Holy Spirit will come. “It was a big breakthrough in my life as a teenager. I kept on seeking God’s presence. I didn’t seek a ministry. I didn’t even know I was called to one. I just loved Jesus and wanted more of His presence. It wasn’t complicated. I just continued to spend time with the Holy Spirit. People Fell… “Then some years went by. I was 19 years old and I started to pray for people. Suddenly they began to fall down when I prayed for them, and I was surprised: What is happening? Others asked, ‘Matt, why are people falling down?’ I answered: “I don’t know.” And at that time I really didn’t know. I was shocked the first time somebody fell down, and I just looked at my hand and said, ‘Wow, Jesus, that’s cool.’ “I began to see the power of the Holy Spirit touch people, and they started to be healed and set free from demons, and they had a breakthrough of God’s presence in their lives. People get healed through a strong encounter with the Holy Spirit,” Matt says. “Just one touch of God’s glory can change your life forever. I’ve seen it happen. I have seen people go to counseling for years – people who have been sexually abused and had their lives totally destroyed. When God’s power hits them, they are set free. They get healed and completely transformed in an instant. I have seen it happen. Bigger Ministry “When I followed God’s call, I became an assistant pastor in a church where I was for about five years. But four years ago God changed my ministry and said, ‘Matt, I want to send you out in a healing and prophetic ministry. You will start traveling around and spread the fire of the Holy Spirit.’ “It is hard to start a traveling ministry, if you don’t know any pastors or churches. You can’t just open the doors by yourself. God has to do that. But one thing I’ve learned, and that is that the anointing will make the way for you. When it is God’s call and plan, He we will make sure it happens. “Suddenly the doors opened and people started to invite us. God’s power hit, and revival broke out. People saw miracles. It was great. And I was the one who was the most shocked. A Zone of Glory “When you grow in the presence of the Holy Spirit a zone of God’s glory will manifest around you, and that zone can be expanded. That’s why I sometimes don’t have to lay my hands on people. God’s glory increases, and expands out in the room and touches people further away, and sometimes it can touch a whole congregation at one time.” Translated by MSM Staff, Christina Nielsen

Testimonies for The 30 Characteristics of the Glory of God
May 25, 2004
Dear Brother, I wanted to say thank you so much for posting this message of 30 Characteristics on the Elijah List. This IS where we are headed. We are even seeing it begin to be manifested in my church now. PTL! This is a NEW DAY and it IS OUR TIME! Thanks again, John L. C. Pastor St. Peters Assembly of God St. Peters, MO I was so blessed by the reading of your article on the 30 Characteristics of the Glory that will rest on the Last Day's Church. These are all things that I know down in my heart, but you have brought them back to remembrance and even as I am typing I feel God's precious presence stirring deep within, saying, "Now is the time. Now is the time for my Glory to fall, now is the time for signs and miracles. Now is the time for the lost to be brought in." Thank you for being obedient and writing these things down. Dear Matt Thank you for your word on 30 characteristics.... It was great to receive, as we are working with all these scriptures, and to have them put into such good order is great for us. We are living in exciting times, and it is great how God is connecting words from all around the world, and supplying all the help we need. What a blessing you have been, may the blessing of the Lord return to you doublefold. Maureen E. (U.K.) Dear Mr. Sorger, I am so thankful to God to read the prophetic article with scripture references in the May 23 Elijah List. I was greatly encouraged by our Lord, who has been growing me, from glory to glory, at an exponential rate. I am pasting two encouraging words that I believe came from our Lord. They, too, will encourage you as they are so in line with what you shared via Elijah List with me. May our Lord continue speaking to you so that you may make His heart and His word known to mankind. Again, I was filled with confirming joy as I read what our Lord Jesus spoke to your heart. Be strong and courageous. Be confident that you are surely an instrument of the Living God. Be saturated in the love and humility of Christ. Desiring to be a handmaiden of our living Lord, Connie B. Matt, Brother, I have to give a big "thumbs up" in the Lord on the material in the article. I have printed off a few copies and will be giving them out to several people. The Lord has shown us the very same things over the last 4 or so years. You might want to take a look at the "Implosion Series" that can be found on the website listed below. I'd love to talk with you sometime...or email. Blessings to you, in Jesus Name Ray G. The Body of Christ International Po Box 3061 Montgomery, AL 36109 Thanks My Dear, Dear brother, These words bring hope, joy and healing to me. I am going through a time of restoration and healing after being misunderstood and removed from my place of ministry in my church and am out of Church for a season. But God, who is faithful and just will lead and is leading me and my wife. We have a real vision for seeing our city Transformed and seeing our churches and leaders work together in unity and build the same Wall in one Accord in the City. I pray for the word of God to become more and more real in your life today and everyday as you grow and mature in the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that you are blessed with ALL Spiritual Blessings of Heaven today. I pray as you read these words that you will experience God's, Mercy, Love and Grace and Kindness to a new measure and in a overflowing of revelation and Wisdom, as I did when I read your message. May You Know the Love of Christ ,that passes all understanding. As we say in Mississippi, Ain't God Good ? In His Love and Service, Phillip Dear Matt, This is a "good word" and most definitely a "word from the Lord", which is much needed in this time and hour. Dear brother keep being faithful even when needed to deliver those difficult words, like medicine they will be healing to the church and leadership. Bless you, Jeff W. Ottawa, Ontario
Testimonies for Birthing Revival Through Intimacy
Apr 29, 2004
Steve and Elijah List team, This morning I read a word from Matt Sorger regarding the importance of intimacy in the next move of God and particularly in the context of the Song of Solomon. This is the exact vision the Holy Spirit has given my wife and I and we are working with Christian music producer/recording artist Nick Coetzee at Rain Music in Tampa, FL to record this even as I speak. Nick has done contract work for Hosanna Integrity and Maranatha Music and produced the first US release of Shout to the Lord by Hillsongs. He is also an accomplished worship leader and songwriter (Higher Than Angels, Right Now the Presence of the Lord). The Holy Spirit introduced us to Nick last summer at the annual Worship Institute summer seminar for worship leaders last year in Dallas, where Nick is a faculty member. Then the Holy Spirit gave us the music last summer, fall and January for this new CD immediately after we completed our first CD, Songs in the Night (self-produced). We spent 3 days at the beginning of February 2004 architecting the material for the CD in Tampa where the Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way and even birthed a new song during this time. On March 23, 2004 my wife Caroline (graduate of the Supernatural School of Worship at Bethel Church, Redding—led by Don Potter) flew to Tampa and spent a week helping record the rhythm tracks for the CD, which currently has 14 tracks. (We are praying about adding one more). So she just returned to our home Austin earlier this week, a few days ago. And so I wanted to encourage both you and Matt of the accuracy and timeliness of this prophetic word. I have attached the track sheet listing the song titles for the CD, which will be entitled Steal Away, and is scheduled to be released in July 2004. In Him, Bruce C. Dear Matt, I've never sent an email to someone who has posted on the Elijah List. But this time, I'm compelled to let you know that the Word you brought based on the visitation at your church was like getting a personal letter from Heaven. Last Sunday, 3/28, in the pre-dawn hours I experienced a very intense dream, unlike any I've had. The imagery was somewhat unusual, but I was able to discern that God, as Alpha and Omega, was in the dream along with the Holy Spirit. What I will never forget is the experience of being filled with the Ruach of God to the point of "knowing" that I was in a place of "one breath, one heartbeat, and one sound." The "sound" was in the form of an indescribably beautiful song in a voice like no other I've ever heard. I didn't want to leave His arms. I didn't want to awake, but when I did I was overcome with a Presence of intense love. It is still lingering in me and my home. There was one bit of symbolism that I wasn't clear about. In the dream, at the end, the Alpha and Omega figure walked down the aisle of the church toward me, holding what appeared to be a three-year-old child wrapped in white linen. The child was alive but very still, almost passive. After reading your message this morning, I now have a better understanding of the meaning of the child. More importantly, your carefully written explanation, using scripture, of what happened in your church helped me to better "see" in the spirit a richer meaning for the dream God gave me. Bless you, Matt! Jeannie K. Novato, CA Dear Matt, I just read your article on ‘Birthing Revival through Intimacy’ on the Elijah List. It so confirms all that God is doing and has put on my heart. As I read it the Power of God has just come over me and I must just fall on my face before Him. Thanks for sharing it. Sandra I love the Lord so much, He is so faithful to me as to never stop reminding me through His word or through a word from one of His who have His heart concerning all of us, His children. I attended a Harp and Bowl and gave myself totally to Him in worship, not looking for anything but to spend time with Him.My hands became heavy as if oil were dripping from my fingertips, the Lord said Myrth, then I remembered the Song of Solomon. It was if I entered His chambers. Thank you Lord for reminding me of the sweetness of your presence. Thank you brother for redirecting me to the most important purpose in my life, being with my Beloved. God Bless you for the sake of His kingdom, Sharon F. AWESOME how GOD can you get!
Witnesses to me---Melisa. Dear Mr. Sorger, I read your message "the next move of God will be birthed out of intimacy". I just want to thank you for being faithful to the Lord, and thank you for the message. It really spoke to me! In Jesus Donna Thank you so much for the wonderful word about staying in the presence of God so we can birth the next move of God. My spirit most definitely bears witness with this message. Lisa Brother Matt, This is an excellent Word and I believe you have the heart of God in it. The Church has been powerless too long! It is almost like we are the valley of dry bones and someone needs to prophesy to them to make an army. We need an army of worshippers to violently bring down the gates of hell and establish the Kingdom of God again in America and beyond. Brother Matt, "prophesy to those dry bones and they will live!" says the Lord. In Christ's Love, Pastor Angelo Thank you for sending this incredible message. I long for this kind of visitation here in Australia. It is so wonderful to hear of God's presence filling and presiding over the entire meeting. This really encourages both me and my friends to keep seeking His face and waiting on Him in His entirety. God Bless You, Rhonda

Thank you for your obedience to ignite the flames of faith in those of us who understand the "sound" of God's spirit in the words released via the Elijah List. Indeed, the Joseph anointing has been released and is functioning in the earth through vessels that belong to "Him".

Matt, I bless you beloved of Christ. I do not usually read many listings like this because I want a pure word of Lord to work through me from our Lord myself and I must hear his words to me and through me. I would like very much to be sent your listings or postings if possible though, can I get that on going anyway? When I read this word I felt the fire and anointing of God. It dropped down out of heaven on me and I could barely read it all. I know this is the word of the Lord. Our Lord has been ministering on The Joseph Company and the Breaker and about the youth for awhile and to begin to see its manifestation is beautiful. I as you have been hidden and I know that I know that I know I am of this company, no agenda JUST JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED! Thank you for sharing your heart. I have a smaller listing on In Jesus under prophetic artist. I am in agreement with this word Father YES AND AMEN

Hello Pastor, Thank you for sharing about the Joseph anointing. As I read this I felt the anointing and I cried because the Lord has been sharing this to me about my life. This was confirmation. Thank you. My prayers are with you. Praise the Lord for His mercies.

Hello Matt: You don't know me, but my name is Todd from Pittsburgh, Pa. I was thrilled to read your prophecy on the Joseph blessing for 2004. You see, for many years I have seen my life as a parallel with Joseph's life and the Lord just recently spoke to me and my wife separately that this was going to be our year to break forth for God's calling to be fully realized in our life and abundant blessings were going to be poured out upon us. I/we have been going through incredible times of testing and the refiner's fire. I feel like I have been inside of the crucible. He has been removing the chaff from my life and pruning me that I might bear more fruit and that my fruit would remain (John 15). He spoke most of these things to us just within the last couple of weeks and then we saw your prophecy on the Elijah list. I prophetically read Isaiah 61 over my wife a couple weeks ago and about two weeks later she heard a worship song in church that said "This is the year of the favor of our God, this is the day of the vengeance of our God ...". Then God spoke to her and said that she needed to obtain a copy of that song on CD and continually sing it because we were going to see the fulfillment of that in our lives this year! Then we saw your prophecy about Joseph. That is absolutely awesome! One of my favorite scriptures in the entire Bible is when Jacob was prophesying over Joseph and he said "Joseph, you will be a fruitful vine with your leaves reaching over the wall" Genesis. I knew that God wanted me to claim that scriptural promise right then and there and that I would see the fulfillment of that promise some day. It's been many years since God spoke that to me, but I have tried to be diligent to hold onto that promise and many other that I see in scripture. God has a great prophetic calling upon my life, but unfortunately I have been maligned and greatly misunderstood over the years (the refining process), but through all of that God has taught me to wait upon Him and know that a man's gifting will make room for himself and bring him before great men. God does the promoting and no one else, especially ourselves. If we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, in DUE time he will exalt you. Also, he spoke to me out of Galatians 1:15 "BUT WHEN IT PLEASED GOD, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through his grace". I had to understand that EVERYTHING has to happen in God's perfect timing. Like the old saying goes, God is rarely early, never late and always right on time. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience and testimony with you. I just wanted to let you know that your prophetic word definitely resonated with me and my spirit. May the Lord be glorified and exalted in all of our lives until the return of Christ!! Maranatha - Come Lord quickly.

Dear Matt, I receive a copy of your word this morning regarding the Joseph anointing and was so encourage. This year has started with attacks coming from so many directions that at times one feels like lying down and not getting up. But At the onset of starting our business we declared that we want to use our business to bless those who do not have as well as the Lord's work. We have been faithful in doing so with that which was placed in our hands, but we know that there is more and we are trusting that this is the year for breakthrough in our finances, relationships etc. We seem to have gone through a period of having to release and forgive so many times that at times one wonders when will it end but when I read again about Joseph in your letter, I realized that at least I have not landed in a physical pit or been put into prison. Many thanks for your encouraging word. I will most definitely pray over it for our lives. Many thanks and God Bless, Fanie and Suzette Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Matt, Praise the Lord for your message about the Joseph anointing. It is a message that the marketplace has been awaiting for a long time, especially those of us that have been waiting for God to move in the business arena. Would you pray for me, please!! I am 47 and have spent the last 20 years trying to find where God can use me in the marketplace and sense that I can walk in the anointing of Joseph but everything I touch seems to fall apart. Even when I am blessed I seem to not make the right decisions. I want so badly to follow God’s way and to lead other businessmen into an understanding of God but feel so powerless and wonder if I am ever going to be able to more in God power. Do you offer some type of phone consultation as part of your ministry? I sense I need a healing in some part of my life but can not identify it. Thanks for your encouraging revelation about the Joseph anointing and pray that it is speaking to me.

Thank you so much for your obedience!! Have a blessed day!
Joseph Anointing Testimonies
Mar 31, 2004
Matt, For months the Lord has been teaching me through Joseph. Then the Holy Spirit confirmed what I had been hearing when your Joseph words showed up on the E-list. Then, just last night I was telling my friend how I've spent some great, concentrated time w/ the Lord at Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs. Each day, like never before, I've been showing up asking God to bless me. I've always prayed this specifically and generally, but I knew that I was asking like Jacob---that I was not going to let Him go until I He'd given me the miracles He's told me about for years. In those same days last week I declared that I was a prince in Christ. I don't remember doing that before either. So it was very cool and encouraging to see yet another word that directly paralleled where I was at. I just read about Jacob this morning in your revival word and saw the meaning of the name Israel! Thank you!

Hi Matt, I usually don't do this but I just wanted to write you a note of encouragement to let you know how your word so resounded with my spirit and how I could so relate to what you had to say. I've been in a season of character building, testing and preparation for the release of the full call of God on my life, so without a doubt your right on. I appreciated your insight. God bless you.
Sharing Encourages
Mar 31, 2004
Pastor Matt, Just a note to say thank you for taking the time to write down and share with the Body of Christ this message. It was a blessing of strength to me personally. I left the ministry three years ago….walked away from the position I so loved and it was one of the toughest things I have ever had to do. But, like you, I felt I needed to step out, so I could step into what God was bringing me into. Though I have not entered back into ministry…I know it is just a matter of time that I will walk into a conference consulting ministry…a ministry of seeing people’s lives changed by the transforming power of God through special events and conferences. Thank you again for sharing.

Hi Matt, Thank you so much to be obedient for the voice of God and to write this article. As I go through some very hard difficulties at the moment, and I have so many prophetic words and what God has given me as dreams for my calling and destinies. Just these days I thought I will give up on this. Today morning I felt to read Elijah list and saw your article. The presence of God came as I was reading this article and I just had to cry, also the pain I go through at the moment, because I really felt this is God who is speaking to encourage me, and in my spirit I know these words are truth and of God. God really spoke to me through these words. So thank you so much. Just want to write you this for your encouragement.

Hi Matt, Back in the beginning February, you sent out a three part message regarding the Joseph anointing. After reading it, I felt it speaking to me. You mentioned in it how the shame of the past is being removed. At that time, I was working through so much garbage in my life that I had been going through for about the past 10 years or so. God was working on healing me, and bringing me into a stronger relationship W/ him. The shame I was feeling from my past was being revealed to me and removed. You also made mention about spiritual promotion. I wasn't fully sure what this meant. Until, I was promoted at my job about a month later. I knew it was from God because the promotion came out of nowhere and my boss even made mention while giving me the promotion that "I wasn't a thought in his mind until five minutes ago." I didn't understand what God was doing, but I could feel he was doing something. I noticed, W/ the promotion, I got a new title, and was separated from the rest of the people I worked with. This was something that I needed spiritually, it caused me to work really on my own, and with a different crowd of people in my office, which matured me in the flesh and tremendously in the spirit. It was only about a month later in the beginning of March, that I noticed my dreams were changing and becomeing spiritual messages. All of a sudden, I started to just be able to interpret my dreams in a spiritual way that I have never been able to. God was speaking to me in parables in my dreams, and was able to interpret them! God also gave me the interpretation to a friends dream, to help put him at ease due to a death in his family, as well as girl friend of mine, who is a Jehovah Witness! If it wasn't for your messages on the Joseph anointing I would have never known what was going on in my life. Your ministry has really blessed me, and I just wanted to thank you for it. God Bless.
