On behalf of all of us who blog from the ESC, I am pleased to inform you that we have officially moved our blog to a different host (from Blogger to Wordpress).
What does this mean to you who are reading now:
1. Our blog will continue to use the same domain name elmstreetchapel.com, so you will be automatically re-directed to our new blog, which mean absolutely no hassle for you.
2. All of our old and new content has been transferred to the new blog, so everything you could read here is now on the updated blog
3. No real change for those who read the blog except possibly a more user friendly experience
Wordpress is set up so that we at the ESC can create static pages with information that may be important to you who are reading and we were not exactly able to do this with Blogger. Because of this, it will be easier for you to get to know us a little better because now information regarding our ministry, what we believe--as if reading these posts aren't enough, who we are, and the fact that we are actually a church will be more easily accesible to all who are interested. In addition, there are some features included with Wordpress that will help us (ESC) out in the end as well.
If you have any questions reagarding the change, go here and send us an email.
God bless,
Ryan

Word 10/26/08
Many say I reign in their heart. Many say I am Lord. Yet, they do not do what I ask of them. They busy themselves with things that will pass away. They trouble and burden themselves with temporal pleasures and carnal delights. Yet, will they wait on Me? Will they be filled with My Spirit? Will they understand their lack of understanding in truth? I take no pleasure in the death of those who call Me Lord, yet do not make Me Lord. What more could I do? Three bear witness of truth in the earth, yet at the teaching of one will they give understanding away to a fable (fantasy, tale), one mans darkness. They deny My written word. They cannot hear My Spirit. They deny My indwelling (plan, purpose). They make My word of non-effect. Those they teach are taught lies conceived by the father of lies. Passed down through the children of deception; the tares, the bitter water. The end of their message leaves the hearer blind and deaf, without hope, without truth. Meat for the dogs, to be weakened without the flowing Spirit of Truth.
My hand is against you shepherds; you wolves who poison My flock. Who kill with your words My heritage. It would have been better for you if you had taken your own life, rather than pollute truth, harming those little ones who looked to you for truth.
Rise up My faithful, be bold in Me and the power of My might. Shake off your slumber, your weariness. Cast away the remnant of the flesh. Take My yoke, take My mantle, for in you is the hope of all the earth. In you is the message of truth. In you is the living testimony of mans salvation; of the rest of My Spirit within, redemption and restoration. Walk in Me, walk in My Spirit, walk in truth. That, I do not withhold from you who walk uprightly (in Spirit and in Truth).
No man will stand against truth, no man will resist the Spirit of My words. You are a two edged sword dividing truth and lies. Those who love truth will be set free, those who love the lie will know that a prophet of the Most High was in their midst. I speak against the shepherds, the robbers, the thieves, murderers, abuser of mankind, those who lust after the flesh, those who love a lie. I bless those who love truth, those who believe, those who do not love this life unto death.
Behold (look and see), I gather together the wheat. None shall be left for the beast of the field, none shall be left for the destroyer. Hidden in My holiness is the destiny of My people. I will give but two, for the world is not worthy. They have cast down and trodden under foot long enough. Now it is I who will tread down the mighty, the proud, the deceiver, the liar. The pressing of My wrath shall be seen through out the whole earth. The slain of My hand shall be an everlasting sign, never to be forgotten. To those who have been given little, is little required. Be not fearful, only believe. Let no man take what is yours.

Shortly to Come
The Lord spoke this word to me yesterday: I see, I know all things. What is hidden from my sight? I behold the wicked and the just together. None can hide, none can go from before my face. Wickedness, slothfulness, idolatry, murder, witchcraft, wantonness, lasciviousness, lust, greed, the care of this life. All lies before me, all has come before my throne. It is a stench in my nostrils, a continual flame that burns. I am weary with holding in, I am weary with repenting. Hear my words you that dwell in my house, those who delight to walk in my courts: I shall sustain you, I alone will keep you. I have set my mark upon you, for the destroyer is on his way. He will not spare the weak or the young, he will not pity the woman with child. The mighty will fall before him, their blood shall fill the streets. I will bring my judgment to rest upon the land. Your judges before you hold me not in their conscience. They take the poor in their judgment and cast the just down in their sight. Judgment is blind they say, they are no respecter of persons. Yet I find the slain in their courts, even the innocent, them who kept my ways. The woman upon the waters, a harlot indeed, by whom you have made drunk the nations. You have went a whoring from under me, you have sought another to comfort you. I will strip you bare in their sight, I will cause you shame to be seen by all your lovers. They will despise you, they shall make you barren. For you have live deliciously in their sight, full of all the abominations upon the earth.
Isaiah 6
8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Love, grace, and peace in Jesus Christ,
Austin

The Shepherds Were Warned
Vision (last night - 10/23/08)
I closed my eyes briefly before going to sleep and immediately I was standing in the middle of a street. It was night time and all I could see around me were stars falling from the sky. The light traces that I saw moving from the sky to the earth were long, and the fall seemed very far (lasting for quite a while). Whether my eyes were open or closed, the vision did not go away.
Word (this morning - 10/24/08)
Judgment has begun at My house. Many have been weighed and measured, but they have been found wanting. Did I not warn the shepherds saying, "Repent of dead works. Cast down your foolish pride and humble yourselves before Me that My will would be done in your midst." You have not heard. You have not obeyed. You have closed your ears to truth and have chosen to teach lies in My name, taking many captive. I will judge you for all of the evil you have spoken. I will speak against you and you will not live because you love to lord over My inheritance. You should have lifted up My name that I could draw all men unto Me. You should have told them how to receive the baptism of My Spirit, that they may be led into all truth, but you refused. The time has come when you will be judged. I tell you, your days are numbered.
Love in Christ,
Ryan

A River Continuously Flowing
I am always speaking to you My people, for My Spirit is a river continuously flowing. It never stops. It never shuts off. Tap into My Spirit all day long for understanding. Receive and drink. The understandings are there waiting for whosoever will. Listen. Be slow to speak. Rest. Be at peace and be still so that you may hear the gentle flow of waters. Do you believe that I am in your midst? Do you believe that I am present? Can you see me? Will you drink? I say to you this day that I am here among you. Those who are carnal cannot see, but those of you who are spiritual can see. Be spiritually minded and you will enter in. Cast off that which is carnal and seek that which is perfect. Forget the works of the flesh and move on to the higher calling of My Spirit, for surely in My Spirit is where you will find your deliverance and freedom.
Vision:
While I heard this word, I saw a river flowing through our church. Then, in the vision, I took a cup and scooped up some of the water and took a drink. I understood that the Lord is continuously speaking, but it is up to us to receive and drink of the Spirit by faith. Praise God for His faithfulness and love towards us.
Love in Christ,
Tara
Encouragment
This is the word the Lord spoke to me during prayer on Wednesday: The river flows, it is not hindered in the way. Yet to the blind, to them that believe not, do not see it so. It is too cold they say, it does not refresh my spirit. They call one to another, they say foolish is the man who treads in the water for it is bitter to us, we cannot accept it. Yet to the thirsty, them whom I have drawn, it is life. My waters flow freely, healing is in its midst. Who has tasted that I am good? Enter in all who ears. The depths of this life have pained you, the ways of the world weigh upon your shoulders. I see, I know. From the beginning I have been with you, kept you from you mothers womb. Hear me for my words are unto you. I desire to heal you, to bind up your wounds. Yet you must believe, you mus enter in. Believe not the words of them that speak against you, saying the river is dry and you are blind. Who is blind but them that I have called? Have faith my child, enter my rest. I have set my example before you and I do desire that you should also walk in my ways. I have given you strength yet much more do I have for you. Call upon me, I am near to you. Remember, hold fast to my word, even every word that flows from my mouth. Circumstance does not make you, I do. Believe my word for I love you greatly.
Romans 9
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Austin
Romans 9
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Revelation 213And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
To God be all the glory for he is faithful. Your brother in the Lord,Austin
