A PROMISE TO THE SMALL CHURCHES
On the night of Saturday the 17th of January, 2009 a friend sent me this prophetic word by SMS which was given at the Jesus Culture meeting in Melbourne on the same day. The following is not a "word for word" rendition of the message but is the essence or "heart and soul" of the prophetic word.
"The Lord is going to pour out His Spirit in the small churches and will visit the pastors. Those who desire to see stadiums filled will see it with signs, wonders and miracles."
Twelve years ago, when Light of the World Ministries Church first began, the Lord spoke to me and said that there will be such a revival in Australia (and the world) and so many people will come into the church that weekly meetings, not just crusade meetings, monthly meetings or special events, but weekly meetings will eventually have to be held in stadiums and arenas such as Acer arena and ANZ stadium.
Year after year since the Lord gave me this word, He has continued speaking it to me. I asked the Lord for confirmation and recently, people have come to our church who said that so many people will be coming into the church (the body of Christ) that we will eventually have to hold our meetings in arenas and stadiums. What makes this confirmation so striking is that the person (my freind) who sent me the message did not know what I had received and known for twelve years. The person who gave the word, definitely did not know what I had received and those in our church who have been confirming this, could not have possibly heard this from Jesus Culture as this word was spoken after the confirmation we received from the people in our church.
I exhort all who read this especially pastors, leaders and intercessors to join with us in prayer so that we will be prepared for the revival that is coming.
