Divine Harmony Pastor Steven L. Shelley (January 19, 2010)

I had this whole experience that I have not placed yet fully but I was

taken into this heavenly realm. And I saw, I heard sounds in heaven that

I’ve never heard before in my life.

They were music, but they were not music. I am 100 percent convinced

that no instrument yet made by man could produce those tones. And

when I realized what was happening, they were coming out of humans

who were standing with me before this throne-like place.

And what I noticed was. I mentioned this briefly in one Sunday morning

service. (This happened to me back actually the first week of November

2009).

What I actually saw was that each sound that was coming out of these

that were standing around me, was similar but distinct. And every time

this sound...

Do you remember there used to be a little child’s toy that you’d press

the button... It had little things standing on this little piano-like toy.


(Somebody’s got to remember this.) And you pressed the button and the

little round head of this little thing opened up and let out a sound.

Anybody remember that? Who remembers it. I don’t know what it was

called. They may still have it. But it was lined up, little choir members

like. Little singers lined up on here. And each time you’d press button,

their mouth would open up and let that tone out. “Haaaa,” or whatever

it was. And you’d take your finger off, and it would close. Children loved

it.

When I saw that, it was almost like that, because we had become almost

like little robot-little things. Because without knowing what was going

to happen, our mouth would open up and this sound would come out

of our belly.

I shared this with a few other people, and I shared it one service here.

And we had numerous people on the stream that said it was so similar

to something they had experienced.

But as one person, that tone, that sound would come out of one person,

I saw angels rise, as though that tone was calling their name, or calling

their company, or calling their job. You know what I mean.

They would rise up. And then another person in this little group that

was standing there, that mouth would close, and another person would


let out a tone, and an entirely different company of angels would rise

up.

And I wasn’t even seeing them until they rose up. But they were there

all the time. I just wasn’t seeing them.

And the next person would…

And I thought, “This is wonderful.” Because it was like God releasing

the sounds of heaven in us. And those sounds were calling the angels to

attention for their task, bringing them to notice that they needed to do

their task or something like this. Not commanding them but calling

them forth with the sound of heaven that was just unbelievable.

But what struck me the most was eventually there were four of us stand-

ing there... There was a bigger crowd before that. But eventually there

were four of us standing there. Two ladies and two men. I was one of

the men.

And the sound started with the ladies. One of the women opened their

mouths and that sound came out. And a host of angels rose up. The next

woman, and a host of angels. The man (I think maybe I was even next)

and a host of angels rose up. And then this other man who was standing

there, another host of angels... But as soon as those sounds would come

out of us they didn’t stop this time, they layered.


In other words, it was open, sound, and then close your mouth. But this

time the woman opened up then the second woman, then myself, then

the other man. And it was harmony.

As soon as that fourth tone came, it was like a roar. It was the combi-

nation of those four sounds that released like a roar. And I want to tell

you that I don’t even want to describe to you what came up, what rose

up.

Along each time the individual sound would come out, a different host

of angels would rise but when those four sounds made that harmony,

there was something, there was a group of beings that rose up. And I’ve

never seen anything like them in my life.

And when I described it that afternoon, after I had it that night before,

I said, “They were more than angels.” I don’t know what they were.

They were more than angels. They were heavenly creatures of some

kind. I’ve never seen anything like it.

They were not hideous, of course. They were not beautiful, though. Your

first look would not... The first impression would not be beauty. It was

terror, but not fear. Did you know there’s a difference?

Biblically the word “terror” is used sometimes. The terror of the Lord.

That’s not the fear of the Lord. It’s that which can be displayed, that can

cause a fearful reaction.


The awesomeness of them. The power that they displayed. I don’t have

the language.

Their faces were not beautiful. They weren’t ugly. But you didn’t think,

“Oh how beautiful they are.” Terrible was the word that came; not ter-

ror, terrible.

I said, “Oh, they’re terrible.” Which is a King James word, which doesn’t

mean awful. “You understand?”

They were so forceful and so ready to do God’s work, and just waiting.

As I turned like this, away from them, because it just roared, just raised

up with a roaring sound. And I just turned away like that. And when I

turned away, I was filled with the awareness that when they are re-

leased…

When they are released on the earth, talk about getting the job done.

They are going to get the job done.

And somebody said, “Oh, I don’t believe angels are going to bring the

harvest. I don’t believe angels are going to get the job…”

It wasn’t. That was not the lesson. The lesson was, divine cooperation

between the angels and people. And each person releasing the sound

that God had given them, and how these sounds layer and harmony is

formed.


Remember, I said a moment ago, harmony is the blending together of

sounds that complement each other. And I believe God wants us to live

harmoniously with one another.

But I believe there’s a harmony that’s coming to the Body of Christ,

that’s going to release a company of something’s. Whatever they are. I

tell you, I know one thing: I want to be on their side. I don’t want to be

against them. And I don’t want to be the object of their terribleness.

Because whatever they are, they are going to make a way where there

is no way. They are going to get the job done.

And I knew in my heart that nothing would be able to oppose them.

Nothing would be able to stop them. When heaven releases those heav-

enly creatures to the earth, that whatever they are sent forth to do, will

be accomplished. And no one will stand in their way. Nothing or no one

will stand in their way.

I know that the highest powers on this earth, and even in the second

heaven, will have to bow before them. Kings or witch, demonic and

overlords, whatever. Do you get my point? To sum up all of you be

harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kind-hearted and humble in spirit.

Pastor Steven L. Shelley Senior Pastor of New Hope Revival Ministries

Pastor Steven L. Shelley’s life of ministry was prophesied before he was

even born. His grandmother received a word that “the child your daugh-

ter-in-law is carrying right now is chosen. He will carry the Gospel and

many souls will be won to the kingdom of God, and he’ll start at a very

early age.”

Just like it was spoken, Pastor Shelley was filled with Holy Ghost and

began preaching in 1975 at the age of seven years old and was pastoring

full time by the age of seventeen. People were astounded by the revela-

tion and conviction coming from this very young man. But it wasn’t only

the wisdom of the Word that touched them but the evidence of the su-

pernatural power of God that operated in his life.

His first experience with the supernatural was at the age of three when

the Lord appeared in his room one night and told him things that were

to come. He was told that his mother and father would separate (they

divorced less than two years later) and that he would preach the Gospel

and his life would not be ordinary. His life has been marked by the

supernatural since that time and he has had countless visions, dreams,

visitations and revelatory experiences.

Although his childhood was not an easy one God kept him through

every hardship and gave him the grace not to be pulled into a lot of the

traps that young people commonly face. As a result of that he was able

to lead many of his fellow grade school students and even teachers to

the Lord.

His Pentecostal grandmother, Mildred Shelley, who had a great spiritual

impact on him, pastored a church in Columbus Georgia and he would

frequently be invited to preach for her. He also began traveling all over

the United States holding tent revivals where he would preach and pray

for the sick. Tremendous outstanding miracles and deliverances would

take place and revivals would last for weeks on end.

His grandmother passed away in 1990, leaving him in charge of the

church, New Hope Prayer Center. In 1993, God opened the doors for 60

acres of land to be purchased in Smiths Station, Alabama and instructed

him to name the property Eagle’s Refuge Holiness Campground. By di-

vine direction, the church in Columbus Georgia was sold in 2003 and a

new building was constructed and dedicated in 2004. We are currently

worshipping in this building in Alabama.

Pastor Shelley has ministered in 65 countries and seen an outstanding

harvest for the Kingdom in every one. There is one foreign country that

he feels identified with more than any other and that is the nation of

Israel. When he was 11 years old his grandmother took him on tour to

Israel where he met a part of his destiny. While visiting Yad Vashem he

had a vision where he saw himself speaking to dry bones, as the prophet

Ezekiel did and saw them come to life. At that young age he knew that

he would one day return to Israel and see that vision come to pass. He

didn’t visit Israel again until 2002 at which time the Lord opened a door

for ministry in the Land. In 2003 the Lord opened a door for our minis-

try to rent two apartments in Jerusalem where prophetic prayer and

praise ushers daily. (For more information about Jerusalem Revival

Center please visit us at Revival.org)

Serving the Lord with him is his lovely wife, Stacey Ryan, who fre-

quently travels with him in ministry. They have four beautiful children:

Benjamin Judah (1998), Joshua River (2001), Olivia Zion (2003), and

Moriah Destiny (2006). His mother Jane Shelley was radically saved in

1985 and is an active part of his life and ministry.

So many wonderful promises and prophecies have been given to Pastor

Shelley and the New Hope Revival Ministries. We thank God for the

great foundation that has been laid by the prayers and tears of saints

who have gone on before us. We look forward to the future knowing

that the best is yet to come!
