Prayer
The EntrePRAYneur News is a match to light the fire of God’s grace in your heart. We believe God wants to use you as an EntrePRAYneur in the marketplace of your everyday life.
In an article entitled “Winds of Change” by Rick Joyner, from the December 2002 Prophetic Bulletin he wrote what we believe The EntrePRAYneur News will serve as a catalyst to accomplish. Christian leaders must start educating their people on biblical economics, and we must start recognizing, equipping, and supporting marketplace ministries. This may sound incomprehensible to many, but most of God’s pastors are not called to ever stand in a pulpit. They are called to shepherd their fellow employees, fellow club members, even sports teams. Many of God’s greatest teachers will not teach in church meetings, but will teach their fellow workers at lunch tables, or in other public or private places. God is raising up “industrial prophets” who will prophesy to business leaders as well as political leaders. We must begin to recognize and help equip and support these ministries to do their work where they are called to do it.
Much of the frustration of Christians in the body of Christ today is the feeling of being called into ministry, knowing that they have been given gifts of the Spirit, but not having a place to either be equipped or released to do the ministry that burns in their hearts. However, there is not enough time or room for all of these to function in church meetings, and this is not where they are supposed to function. Our whole paradigm of church must change. Church is twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We should be equipped to move in the gifts and ministries of the Spirit at any time and in any place.
Christianity will break out of the four walls and two hours a week where much of it is now imprisoned. At the end, church life will be like it was when the Lord Himself walked the earth—it will be saturating all of life. The Lord did the bulk of His works in real life situations and He wants to do the same through us. One day miracles will break out at the mall, the next day at the beach. Preachers and teachers will soon be drawing great crowds spontaneously in public places to hear the word of God. Houses will be open on every block for people to meet the Lord, be healed, delivered, and taught sound biblical truth. Then the church will not be an institution, but it will be the life force that it is called to be, and the sure witness that the kingdom of God is at hand.
We are exhorted in Psalm 32:6 (The Message)
6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray;
when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts
we’ll be on high ground, untouched.
Now is the time for us to build our houses on the Rock by hearing and obeying His Word. How we handle money, and whether we are obedient to the Word of the Lord in this, will become one of the primary determining factors at the end to distinguish between those who are true servants of the Lord, and those who are really being blown by “the winds of the earth.” The Entreprayneur News will consistently bring articles, testimonies and teaching that will equip you to grow as a person of prayer in the marketplace of your life.
Precious Prayer Fire Igniters,
As I bow before our Almighty Father my heart explodes with praise as I try to express what He did this past few days in the Zimbabwe “Pray Without Ceasing Summit”.
Firstly, we give all praise to our God for how He used your individual prayers to manifest a multi dimensional outpouring of His own united glory. This picture of the Zimbabwe Victoria Falls gives a “little” insight to what He did through the magnificent light of the world, His SON, Jesus Christ and His holy Spirit. PLEASE PRAISE GOD as you thank Him for each one of these VICTORIAS I list below:
- An email from an intercessor who attended: “It was a real blessing to us and we saw so much happening that The Spirit has been leading us to pray for many years. It is always so encouraging when you see prayers being answered, and most important, The Spirit determined for us to be there to witness the fulfillment of those prayers. When The Spirit leads a man to pray, for His Glory or Revival, the inference from the Bible is, that God designs to bring it about, and that was confirmed this weekend.” Cicely Lenton
- God sovereignly drew the facilitating team together, and again your prayers that it be all about HIM and nothing about us were manifested as The Holy Spirit, guided to bring each member forth as follows. The Regional Apostolic and hosting Pastor Raymond Motsi, the young and incredibly anointed worship team of TK, Natasha and Yvonne, (All from our hosting church Bulawayo Baptist), Pastor Lean Erasmus, Apostolic Pastor from our South African partners in Hoedspruit, then Chad and myself.
- God drew some 400 intercessors, including 70 pastors from 51 churches and as we worshipped, shared our hearts from God’s Word, prayed in multiple ways, God’s unifying grace and glory was poured out like Victoria Falls!
- We praise God for Ian and Jan Johnston (my sister). Ian did the catering for the 3 x 400 =1200 meals that we served during our 2 days.
- We praise God for each of you and your churches that gave toward the financial support of the Summit. We praise Him in faith for the $3,000 still needed to cover outstanding expenses. (Please email or call Colin on this if God speaks to your heart to be involved)
- I personally praise God for the wonderful times we shared with my Mum, Dad, sister Jan and her family, Ian, Chelsea and Stephie.
Thank you each again for an incredible outpouring of your hearts through prayer, upon the wings of which we were carried into His Presence.
With love and Chkk-Chirrrrrring joy in Jesus,
