The Lord is Speaking to Us

We pray to hear and obey what the Spirit is saying to the church. Here are several prophetic words received this week in our congregation:

1. On Sunday Dwight gave a word that Holy Spirit was standing as it were beside us waiting for us and to receive his help and direction instead of us trying to do things on our own. He paid for the grace and freedom that comes when the Holy Spirit is Lord.

2. Karen Gale later shared that she had received a picture that morning of the Holy Spirit as if he were a person walking behind us, laying his hands on each of us, yet we were not even aware of him nor responsive to him.

3. This week Kendra received a verse from Deuteronomy 6 while praying about the sale of the building. And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. (‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬ ESV)

4. At the same time Dwight had a picture of the "mixed multitude" exodus from Egypt. A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds. (‭Exodus‬ ‭12‬:‭38‬ ESV)

Share dreams, words and impressions with Richard so we can pray for interpretations and applications.

Old Testament Prophecies of Messiah and their Fulfillment in the New Testament

This fulfilled the prophet’s prediction… Matt 2:15

But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem…  Gal 4:4 NIV

             Each day this week I encourage you to read aloud from prophecies below, along with their fulfillment.  No other religion has the miracle of God’s Word.  Only the One, True, God of Gods, revealed His purposes through prophesy, then perfectly fulfilled them.  Faith comes by hearing the word.  Your faith will grow this Advent, as you believe, obey and fulfill the purposes of Messiah in your life.  In this way, we prepare for His second coming.  Thy Kingdom come.  Thy will be done.  Come, Lord Jesus.
