Where are the Visionaries within the Church? (excerpt)

(By Rev. Dr Jeffry David Camm JP MIEPR)

Throughout history we have seen men and women elevated by God, to give visionary pictures of what God wants to happen within the Body of Christ. These people have been just ordinary people, until God selected them and raised them up to a position of significance within the Body of Christ. In Joel 2:28 it clearly says that God will pour out His Holy Spirit upon ALL flesh in these last days. So where are they?

Where are the people who have received visions from the Holy Spirit which will change the direction of the Body of Christ (and their respective nations) and re-direct their focus back to Jesus Christ and away from things of this world, which have been allowed to infiltrate the churches?

TRANSFORMING AS YOU GO (excerpt)

(By John W. Boland - (c) copyright 2014 John W. Boland, all rights reserved)

Can family, friends and co-workers see a marked change in your character for the better by the power of your relation to Jesus Christ?

Can the church you attend claim to be a church revolutionized by people committed to Jesus?

Has the town you live in been transformed by energized believers in Christ?

Have people of other faiths or no faith seen the changes that have taken place in you, in that church you attend, or in the community because of Christ?

If not, why not?

As believers, we have a calling to share what we know with others, baptize new converts, and help them understand the difference between worldly values and those of Jesus Christ! It is a command, not a suggestion.

The Privilege of Prayer (excerpt)

(By Ps. Ian Weeks)

Have you ever stopped to wonder about the privilege of prayer?

How is it that mere human beings can talk with the Creator of the heavens and the earth?

How is it that the God who owns and controls the universe is interested in our daily life and delights to hear our meagre prayers?

Prayer is truly a wondrous and mysterious thing! Yet Jesus encourages us, even commands us, to pray!

What is the Spirit saying to the church? (excerpt)

(By Justin Pagotto, Jireh Financial)

As I look around the body of Christ and listen to what the Spirit is emphasizing in this season two things come to mind:

1. That our Father is really serious about building the house of prayer in each city.

2. That our Father is really serious about building John 17 unity in each area.

Slavyansk, Ukraine: An Epicenter of Charity and War (excerpt)

(by Karen Springs )

Slavyansk, a city in eastern Ukraine with about 130,000 resident, has suddenly gained international notoriety, as it has become one of the epicenters of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. A gateway city to the eastern regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkiv, it is a strategic location for pro-Russian separatists.

However, prior to the international attention the city has gained in recent months, Slavyansk was the epicenter of another revolution, a revolution surrounding adoption.
