Word for 2012 by Marita Kellett

^rd January 2012

COME CLOSER TO ME

“Rest in me, draw closer and know my deep, deep all-consuming peace. For it is I, only I, that can still the storms of the night. A sea of tranquillity will flow across this troubled land as the people turn to me.

Know me, know my heartbeat. Do not focus on world affairs and all that strife which surrounds you, focus not on the world economies but keep your peace with me.

Come into the deep, and as you walk with me know I am always at your side. Wherever you place your feet I am surely there. As you draw close to me the storms will pass overhead .React not in retribution, but learn to respond in my love at all times, for it is this love that will turn people to me.

Around you will prevail maelstroms and they will be world-wide- the cycle of darkness will be repeated. People will run to and fro seeking, seeking they know not what. They will run in terror from the earthquakes that will swallow the land, from the rumblings of the tides, these happenings will drive people and nations into fear, confusion, anger and they will turn to other gods in disbelief.

They are not focussed on the one true God; they need to know it is I, only I that can comfort.

Time to show a winnowing hand- to reap the harvest. Call the threshers nigh. Pick up the chaff ^1,*. –yes, I came for the lost that they may not perish. Those, whom others would trample on, reach deep into their hearts for theirs is a promised kingdom and they will reap the greatest treasure of all.

I bring a supernatural kingdom- ²* a Jacob Generation ³* Many will be afraid of my power. But fear not.

Tread with care as you herald in my kingdom. Take one step at a time, await my instructions, and then cross the bridge. Do not go ahead in your own understandings for these are treacherous times. malevolent forces, witchcraft abounds, Precipitous times , as if on a knife edge. Day of the Jackal*⁴

Put oil in your lamps, trim your wicks and be prepared to keep vigil, for the nights will be long and hard. Be resolute, step out of your comfort zone and know this is the time of your calling, to pray, to herald in the dawn. The darkening face of the storm leaves a brooding presence but come the dawn all will be light. So keep vigil until the dawn of my coming and bring in my kingdom. Out of the dawn will come Heaven sent Blessings and an abundance as you keep faith.”

__________________________________________

3. Ps 24:6 (NKJ) “This is Jacob, the generation of those that seek his face”

4. Day of the Jackal ~ the synopsis was based on a true story of the plotted assassination of President de Gaulle on 22^nd August 1962 in anger over the French Governments decision to give independence to Algeria. Suggestion of another presidential attack?

2. Jacob Generation- Bringing Heaven to Earth. (Gen28:2-10) Jacob communed with God through the night until dawn- (Gen 32:24 Jacob was left alone and he wrestled with God until dawn.”

Who are the Jacob Generation?

Those who are left alone in order that God might have their undivided attention. In a sense they go through a season of “abandonment” with total focus on Him. We need to hold onto God until we have seen our circumstances/whatever God places on our hearts change.

Those who are willing to die to the flesh (Esau) and live by the spirit (Jacob). Jacob crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. Spiritually the Jordan speaks of separation and death. We must die to flesh and live by the spirit and place a high value on the gifts of the spirit God has chosen to place upon us, to never let go of our spiritual birthright, that we may enter His throne room, and bring down the ladder from Heaven to earth heralding in the Kingdom of God in a new and powerful way - an Open Heaven, a supernatural kingdom ^{2 *}

We receive our righteousness and blessings (Ps24:5) from God by Grace. This is a time of outpouring of his provision and blessing for those who will wrestle...Our reward is to stand in His presence in the Throne room Jacob was the spiritual seed of Isaac, his twin Esau was the physical seed who sold his birthright for a pittance – he did not value it. Jacob Generation will not let go of their anointing, of their blessing, their birthright they know its value. We need also to pray for those in ministry who are drawn by the flesh and not the spirit.

God , through the Holy Spirit is changing lives –picking up the chaff ¹* - In God’s eyes these folk left behind are just as precious in His eyes –whose lives can be changed through an experience with God. We need to pray for that wrestling- that overcoming and for those whose specific ministry is outreach – that they will become a generation who will praise and worship God in power.

It is a generation that will seek his face – Jacob (deceiver) became Israel. 32:28 for your name shall no longer be called Jacob but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed. I believe a calling to do spiritual battle for a new Israel- an Israel of face seekers, a young generation of true believers who will claim their spiritual heritage.

2012 A need for Change 30 December 2011 by Martin Cooke

I am changing everything. The things that you see may remain the same but you will see them through different eyes, because I am giving you sight. Before this time in many ways you thought you could see but you were blind. You thought you understood the scriptures. You thought you clung to true doctrine. You thought you were right to hold to strongly believed doctrines. But now I want you to let go of all that you have held so strongly so that you may embrace me and my love. How can you love one another if you are so resolute in your differences that you cannot make space for my love. Do I love you my people because you are true to all that you hold dear, or because I recognise you as the children I died for? Recognise each other for what I have made you as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Put apart your differences and cease to try to convert others to your cause. Do not squabble among yourselves, for when your sight is clear you will be able to remove the offending specks in each other's eyes. There is much that needs to be remedied in my Body but it cannot be performed by those with blind eyes and unpractised fingers.

When you know me, you will know true doctrine. When you follow me you will see others as I see them. When you cease from fighting your wars and defending your ground and you trust in me, I will remedy that which needs to be fulfilled in my Body. For I can make you whole, even as one Body. What is it that causes the spots and the wrinkles, is it not impurities and stress between members? I will reform those who need reforming, but especially those who attempt to reform others but not themselves.

2011-12-29T20:40:00.001Z

Staying up-to-date.December 2011.

I have not been publishing prophecies for most of 2011 mainly because there was little that could be said was new. Rather, the Lord seems to have been repeating words and promises given before, and I see little point in repeating words that are already available. It may be that I am passing into a fresh season now, with more to share. I have also failed to pray enough for this site and have had my mind on other things. Perhaps 2012 will be different!

Paper Clip 29 December 2011 By Martin Cooke

2011-12-29T20:17:00.003Z

Paper Clip

You can either fasten paper permanently with glue or a staple, or use a paper clip. The Church in the past has been inflexible, fixed to a routine and ritual. I am breaking the bondage that the Church has to man's tradition. No longer will the members of my Body be forced to conform to man's tradition but they will be freed to be led by my Spirit. My giftings were never intended to be used within the context of religious structure, but to be ministered within the flow of my Spirit. A person's body is not fixed to stand rigidly; it will eventually succumb to pain and cramps. My Body moves as a person's body moves, with ease and flow. You cannot confine my Spirit saying "You must go here" or "You must go there". My Spirit comes and goes where He wills. If I choose to send my Spirit to those who sought not for me, but withhold Him from those who do, that is my prerogative. I send my Spirit where He wills.

PROPHECY 4th January 2011-A YEAR OF COMPASSION

Saw a hand reaching up to pick apples off a tree. These were high up, mature red rosy apples. On the same tree were many which looked a different variety ,were pale green almost yellow . On the ground were a lot of fallen apples, many bruised and going rotten.

“A time of selection”. The red rosy apples are the “chosen of God”- an army of volunteers , mature Christians , who have “paid the price”. They have not yet been picked from the tree ,although they were ripe and ready. They have been saved for a special purpose. The time is now “ripe” to pick them . It is time to harvest God’s chosen leaders.

These are not people who have already the glory , but those who have volunteered to forsake all , are humble, are willing to lay down their lives for others, not for their own glory but for those around them, They will go forth and reap the harvest in a year of compassion.

“Harvest time has come. Go, take the best fruit and nourish those who have been weakened by the onslaught, those that fell , lift up their hearts and turn them back to me – many are backslidden ( those on the ground) they are in danger of being lost, show them compassion, show them my heart, show them the true light of the Gospel. For it is I that breathes life not the world around them.”

This is a time of nourishment , feeding and preparing an army that may stand against an ever flowing tide. A` tide that will come in force that many will be “knocked off their feet” and left breathless. Turn them back to me , says the Lord. The battle ahead will be fierce and many will fall.”

There are those who will be leaders and those who will be in the ranks. (the red rosy apples are the leaders who will nurture and grow the pale colourless apples )many of whom will remain in the ranks , “others will grow in supremacy “beyond their wildest dreams” – only because “someone `cared and guided them and released them to their true potential”

“You will be surprised by those who I raise up, no not “ the names”, those who already have the glory , their call is on a different path .I will choose those whose glory is not known, the downtrodden, the infirm and yes, even the despised, because they have showed me their true heart. This is a time of compassion. These will be my leaders of a compassionate army.”

“I call you now to pick up the fledglings, ( then saw the apples damaged lying on the ground). Heal the sick, help the poor, heal the broken-hearted, the poor in spirit, that they may be restored and released and purposed for my will.

Then we shall see the victory – many lives changed, turned around- man’s plans thwarted, characters turned-around , an un-bending of wills, a change of mind-set .

Saw Christians with laurel garlanded heads, as if the “Champions” Look not to your own accolades to your own glory ,not to elevate yourselves, but do this in humility in my name . These are my people and I won them”

THE NATION

This nation will turn back to me and I have called others to purpose this- another army , an army that is already honed and primed. ( believe these are folk already known and who have been operating in faith outreaches for some time and who have been especially commissioned)

This nation has been a nation of stalwarts but latterly of brigands who have robbed and plundered it’s people and other nations and been swayed to chase wealth and recognition and have joined forces with those who would have evil purposes ,(EU) that are not based on Godly principles. There are men I have “taken aside” for their own protection. These men will no longer govern. It is MY banner that shall fly over this land.( saw the Royal Standard flying from Buckingham Palace- replaced by God’s ???)

The nation has much unforgiveness At its roots There is much to repent for .It is a time for the nation to show mercy and compassion. There has been a relentless “hounding” of other weaker states by those who make world decrees (EU)to win contracts which glorify wealth and man.

It was I that allowed the Banks and financial institutions to be brought down , and allowed the floods , the breakdown in communications and the blanket that covered the land ( ash cloud?).

Yet the proud and haughty still do not see . This is not a time of compromises . It is MY word that will reign and it is I that will rule this nation, and it is I that will have dominion over this earth. Do not give in to other gods and idols

I will turn a proud and haughty people , whose roots have come out of good earth , who have forsaken me now .There will be anarchy in this land (believe a root will start from Liverpool, saw many people marching against politics- this was earlier in the year and it already partly happened after the election and more recently with the students) and many will flounder because of compromise and weakness.

“a quickening of the sands”( I was reminded of those poor Chinese who perished in Morecombe Bay in slavery for rich masters- I believe literally “quick sands” or an earthquake on a magnitude we have not seen before ). “Many more will be swallowed up by the land.”- “The ground will be disturbed”

“Big fires”consuming many. People will cry out in my name for mercy. The wealthy and powerful shall not escape. Their money will not save them , only my name.

I then saw a huge foaming, very frothy wave crashing down the Thames which even the Thames Barrier could not hold back(was this chemical spillage ???) and flooding across the plain. (I sensed the Olympics may not go ahead in the way it was planned because of this ,( I do not sense the Olympics as a blessing!)

There are many who will “look to the skies , and see nothing” but those who are mine shall see my Glory, a sky that will be full of colour, reds and pinks, mauve sand gold- a sky of Hope and Promise. Keep looking to the skies and to Me and not to the ground, and man for you will only see a time of desolation. Focus not on earthly things and all that is around you, for in My Kingdom, there is Grace and Mercy, Hope and fulfilment and provision.

“Tread carefully Oh my people . stay close and under cover.” Saw a picture of an artichoke , with the heart, in the centre , around the heart are protective fleshy leaves. “Guard your heart for it is mine “

The Lord then gave me Colossians 3: which sums up much of what I saw in prophecy

By Marita Kellet

Consider the Poor

2011-01-10T13:36:00.001Z

The rich have had it all their own way. They have fattened their hearts and lived luxuriously. Blessed are those that consider the poor, that see their injustice at the hands of the rich.Those that seek me have a heart for the poor and hate the injustice they are made to suffer. At this time if the righteous will seek My face and intercede on behalf of the poor I will redistribute the wealth of this land more fairly. Who will sigh and weep for the poor of this land?
By Martin Cooke

The Ploughman and the sower.

2011-01-10T11:03:00.005Z

Isaiah 28:24-26

When a farmer ploughs for planting, does he plough continually? Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing the soil?

When he has levelled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field?

His God instructs him and teaches him the right way.

Every year farmers plough and sow. They do not have years when they just plough and years when they just sow. In your prayers and in your living you must both plough and sow. Just as on a farm some ground will be soft and productive while other ground will be hard and in need of more work to break it up and make it productive, so you have seen breakthrough in some areas while strongholds remain in others. Learn to discern the time to plough and the time to sow. In this coming year you need to continue to break up very hard ground but you also need to recognise what has already been broken up and not miss the opportunities to sow.

Remember that what is sown has the potential to yield a harvest of a hundredfold. When you who are faithful, but few in number, sow righteousness the town will produce a hundredfold harvest of righteousness. When you sow submission to God, many others will submit. When you sow forgiveness and bless those who curse you, anger and violence will cease in the town. When you sow generosity, greed will be destroyed. When you sow love, people will be set free from selfishness. Do not say, “When O Lord will this town bow the knee to you?” You bow the knee and see if others will not follow.

By Matthew Jeanes.

A year of change

2011-01-10T11:02:00.001Z

I have noted that much of the ministry lately has been repeats of previous words, so I have found little I wanted to publish. At the start of this year I have detected a shift, so here are some new words.
I saw a picture of someone laying down flowers at a funeral. For many this would seem a pointless waste of money. Yet the flowers were an expression of love, and love is never wasted.

Love is eternal. That is why the apostle Paul says that the gifts of the Spirit will pass away, but love never fails. The Bible uses the word "charity" in the Authorised King James: it means much more than the word we use now which is "love". It implies selflessly giving ourselves on behalf of others in the love of God. The Chambers Dictionary defines love as "The disposition to think favourably of others and do them good."

We will receive a revelation of love in our hearts if we are open to God this year. A shift will happen in which we will see our lives and the things we do in terms of love. As a consequence many wrong attitudes will drop away, as follows:

We will no longer do things out of selfishness. We will no longer do church activities to impress others, whether Christians or non-Christians.

We will no longer do things out of self-effort to try to please God.

We will no longer work to draw people to ourselves.

We will have no need to prove anything to ourselves or others.

We will no longer give tithes and offerings out of duty.

We will want to benefit others rather than ask "What's in it for me?"

Worldly success, rewards, praise or position will no longer dictate our actions.

We will no longer perform deeds out of compulsion, or lay compulsion on others.

We will be willing to suffer disgrace, humiliation, criticism and loss of face rather than compromise on love.

"Charity never faileth". We will not begin a task and then fail to complete it.

We have often read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 and discussed it. We will now receive the revelation needed to live it.

By Martin Cooke

Stop and Live!

2010-04-01T13:14:00.001+01:00

Stop and Live! 01/04/2010

Have you seen? I mean, have you really seen, or have you only glanced quickly? For many do not see and understand, but see only to confirm their own decisions. Stop man and pause! Take a good look. Watch carefully. This is the only way in which you will discern My will. It cannot be found in a moment without proper thought. It is not revealed without a period of waiting. Hear what I am saying to you. Have you really heard or are you distracted by the sounds of the world? Only those who hear and see and understand can inherit My kingdom. Only those who consider My word as hidden treasure and meditate thereon will dig out the guidance needed for their future decisions. You have rushed in the past and have gone astray from the paths I had prepared for you; all because you did not stop to listen. Listen now and live!

We see all sorts

2010-01-12T16:03:00.000Z

What are we to make of prophecies that come with dates and are highly predictive? When some of them don't come to pass the reputation of prophecy and prophets can suffer accordingly. Is it worth the risk of publicising such prophecies? Or might we then miss the blessing that comes from sharing a crucial word? Many Christians do not understand the nature of prophetic utterance. Church prophecy does not have the same certainty as prophecy in scripture. The gift of prophecy may be inaccurate for any number of reasons. The prophet may be carried by his own emotions. He or she may be trying to promote their ministry with a spectacular word. They may be deceived by a lying spirit. Other problems might be that God changes His mind (Oh yes!) when intercession or repentance averts judgement. The prophecy might apply to another people group to the one reading it. The prophecy may fail because of unbelief or disobedience with the hearers. Or the prophecy might apply to a distant time for its fulfilment but ministers encouragement and direction.You may be able to think of other problems, but on this site which is intended for mature Christians I think we can take a measure of risk.

Year of the Leap 2010

31st December, 2009

Manasseh Christian Ministries

Lana Vawser
My precious Church, this year is the year of great leaps. Many of you that have found yourselves in hard places will find yourselves leaping forward with great stride by the power of My Spirit.
Many of you that have found yourselves in great dismay, despair and depression will find yourselves lifted above out of the dark holes and lifted high on My wings, to places of great heights that you have never known before.
There will be great leaps taken in ministry areas. This will be the year of a greater leap in revelations to evangelise, prophesy, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons. This will be the year of greater leaps into My revelations. These revelations will unlock greater strategies to see My Kingdom advanced and come to earth in a more tangible this year.
There will no longer be stunted growth for those who seek Me, but greater leap in depth of intimacy. Many of you have found the past year one of tremendous hardship, tremendous stunting of growth, tremendous attack and tremendous despair, but I am turning this tremendous darkness into tremendous LIGHT. Tremendous GOOD. Tremendous RECOMPENSE. Tremendous HARVEST. This year many of you will receive tenfold to what the enemy has stolen, tenfold of what the locust has devoured.
Harvest, Harvest, Harvest! Leap, Leap, Leap! This is the year of the LEAP!
I challenge many of you to no longer dip your toes into the river of My Spirit. It is time to PLUNGE, LEAP, let go of all fear, repent of bowing knees to fear, to bondage, to strife, to manipulation, to control, to obsession and shake off all these things that have held you down. Repentance will break the chains.
Many of you have been like feathers blowing in the wind. Not able to sustain its ground but being carried back and forward by every attack, every wind of doctrine and every arising of the flesh. Repent My Church and come and dive deeply into My love. No longer will you be feathers, but find 2010 to be the year of Me building each of you into mighty oak trees.
2010 will be there year of lost comfort. 2010 will be a year of many being called to step out and do radical things that they would never have dreamed of doing before. Many of you will be like Paul, and moving into ministries of tent making. Tent making to send forth My Word, moving not by man’s expectations and work, but by the leading of My Spirit – NOMADS are arising!!!!!
At the turn of the year, the first minute of 2010, I will release My fire upon many lives to burn away all the chaff that has come to the surface in many of your lives. Many of you have found yourselves feeling like you are drowning in the issues, the flesh, and the wounds of the past that have come to the surface and feel there is no way out. I have brought these issues to the surface so that each of you may lay your hearts before Me, repent and at the strike of this New Year, see My fire being released to begin burning away that chaff every day of 2010 and the great LEAPS will occur as this chaff is burnt away.
Leaps in wholeness, leaps in healing, leaps in visions, leaps in words, leaps in boldness, and leaps in deep revelation of My love.
This will be the year that My Church will take a great LEAP into deep revelation of My love and goodness. The enemy has released a specific attack upon many of My people who are called to speak forth to doubt My goodness, doubt My love, and doubt My kindness. The enemy has used circumstances both within My Bride and in the world to whisper too many that I am not good, that I am not love, that I am not kind. This attack has been specifically sent forth to these that are called to speak forth, so that My message will not go forth. So that the Church will not be led deeper into My love by the forerunners that I have appointed. This attack will not succeed and has already begun being defeated by many of these forerunners feeling hope rising again within their hearts at the beginning of this New Year.
Many of you will carry banners of Damascus Road in this year. Many of you will begin experiencing such deep intimate transformatory encounters with Me and My love that you will then be released into arenas to testify of My goodness and character. The enemy has been whispering too many of you that I will cause calamity upon your lives simply to bring forth a testimony. I say unto you that this is not truth, and this is not in line with My heart for you. I will cause ALL things for good. I send only GOOD gifts to you My beautiful Church, so continue to stand upon Me and fight with My Word and make Me your refuge, your home and safe place and no evil shall touch you, no plague shall come near your dwelling.
Some of you have lost hope in 2009. Some of you have lost hope in circumstances within your lives. Whether it be healing for the sick, restoration for the broken, and sight for the spiritually blind. Hope will be restored to you in this New Year as you open your heart to Me to receive. Repent of the despair, and rise up in hope. Hope, Hope, Hope, Hope is being released unto you!!!!!
2010, the year of the great LEAP!!!
Come LEAP forth into My River, decide before Me today to make 2010 a year of LEAPING into all that I have for each of you, but most importantly, decide to LEAP forth into positioning yourselves at a deeper level to receive of My love, know My heart more intimately and hear My voice. I love you My Church, oh how I love you!

The Dawn Comes

2010-01-02T17:09:00.003Z

Switch Your Source A prophecy by Martin Cooke.

Time and time again you have returned to the River of Life but only experienced death and bitterness. The waters have been poisoned by those higher upstream who thought to do you good but have only muddied the waters. You have waited patiently for change but have seen no change. Even the small patches of water that appeared to be clear were soon mixed and as muddied as the rest of the flow.

Leave this river, for I have another river which I have guarded and is kept pure. It is not like the river that proceeds from man's works that looks promising but ministers death. The River of God proceeds from the Throne of God and ministers healing to those that have been hurt . Only those who seek God will find this river. This river ministers life and will refresh the weary ones. This river ministers refreshment to the parched areas of the earth.

Prophecy by Martin Cooke.

2010 Prophecy. The Hour Is Late.

I had a picture of a watch, but the time was obscured by an attractive fly that had landed on the watch face.

The time is late, but the eyes of my people are blinded and cannot see the lateness of the hour. They are distracted by the schemes of men, by much church activity and concern for their own well-being. It is time to brush away the Satanic deceptions and diversions and to earnestly seek the Lord for His will.

2010-01-02T17:03:00.000Z

The Lord gave me a vision for 2010.
From Marita Kellet

There were a group of Roman soldiers resting under a tree, with swords and shields by their sides. Some had even removed their sandals , as their feet were so sore. I sensed these were battle weary men.
Then I saw in the air a trumpet heralding in 2010. The soldiers began (heavily) to get to their feet and some started stretching exercises because they knew they had to be fit for what lay ahead.
The half-dozen or so with the sore feet shook their heads and rubbed their legs and could not get up. They had lost their will because of the intensity of what they had just come through. They had not the courage or strength to go on. But those who stood were Overcomers, standing in faith that this was a call to a new challenge , it was if it was the final push , so they knew they had to draw on their reserve strengths to go on. In 2008 The Lord told me there was a small window of time to reap the harvest- only 3 years -and that after 2011 it would be too late.I sense this year 2010 is the final push. Maybe for Christians this year will herald the end of much of our freedom of speech. All the soldiers represented those of us who have struggled physically this year and who have become battle weary .
2010 will be a very different year to 2009. 2009 has had a thick veil over much of our efforts , many Christians have struggled in different ways and we feel it is time to give up. BUT God is calling the Overcomers to make that final push . HE will give us the battle strategy and the strength.
.By July things will be much clearer, plans that have been thwarted or confused will have a new clarity. We will see (spiritually) more of what we are facing.Now in this early part of the New Year God is assembling His armies , from all corners of the earth to come together for the big final push - to establish His Kingdom on Earth.Now is not the time to hesitate. This is now the time to put in to action all that you have been trained to do, to believe and stand in your healing, to trust in the One that guides us and not lean on our own understanding."Go Forth . Go Forth" was the cry from the Herald Angel.To those soldiers who are battle weary God is saying " draw strength from me . It is MY sword in your hand. You will not wander in the desert like nomads not knowing where to go, like a "raggle- taggle army.Now we will be effective, an elite squadron that will do much damage to the enemy , and wherever he has put his foot, and hurt my people than so shall you follow and raise up those people.I then saw people lying on a battleground and men, some in pale green, others pale grey thin cotton gowns with their feet on the necks of those who lay on their backs. Suffocating them- BUT they were offered their lives if they denied Christ .Those who refused were then slain by a sword , others tortured more. To the weak and injured, and indecisive saints, this evil army slew and anyone who was fallen or who was hesitating . The different coloured muslin gowns depicted the seniority of rank of the slayers and the more dedicated the Christian the harder was the punishment. Satan will try his utmost to stop this army if Christ moving forward, to thwart all battle plans , to hold folk back, to disillusion them. Now is the time to watch each others backs , to be close to each other, to be in prayer and be focussed. The Lord of Hosts will move us forward. Be ready .
God be with you ( us all!)

What is new

2009-12-21T21:09:00.005Z

I find the present situation for us is quite strange. Things have gone quite quiet, prayer has been subdued. If revival was at the door we should expect there to be earnest revival prayer. Despite the lack of prayer evangelism does seem to becoming more fruitful, with a less hard response to the gospel even if we do not see many saved. This more receptive response is mainly among the young.The problems with the church are still obvious; a lukewarm gospel, division and a spirit of control are some. Unless we present the true gospel with a passion we cannot expect the world to take us seriously.Two believers have remarked to me this Christmas that playing "Jingle Bells" is not going to get people saved.
