Little did we know just how much God would want us to be on our knees, pleading for the nations and declaring His Reign this semester!

This is a kairos moment, and it’s nearing its end. The virus will recede, the world will go back to normal. Will you? Will you go back to normal? Press in. This... is not a simple platitude. Hear this as a prophetic burden, as a call to action. Press in. We must not miss this moment. To go back to normal is to fail to grasp the kairos moment. Don’t miss what God is doing now. Here. Press in, people of God. Press in. What is this moment? Here it is: now is the time to repent, to humble ourselves, to pray for a move of God in our midst. Perhaps a move that is marked with tears more than laughter. Perhaps a move that results in a spotless bride. Don’t let this moment pass you by. Resist the urge to go back to normal. Resist the desire for normalcy. Instead press on for personal holiness, for growth and maturity. Press in for an intercessory burden. If you don’t have an intercessory burden, ask Jesus for his burden. Call upon Jesus to demolish every pseudo-christ in your life and in the Church worldwide. Cry out for purification, for Holy Fire, for a return to the first things. Fast. Read the Bible. Pray. Fast some more. Re-read old prophetic words. This moment is soon passing, but may we become lighthouses anew in the stormy seas of this world. May we fall in love again with Jesus. May we do violence against all the idols our hearts have constructed. Jesus, come into your temple and be exalted. Have Your way. Pull us, drag us, forward into what You want, God. Wreck us for all other lovers. Wreck us for all but Yourself. Amen. . . . No hashtags. Just prayer.

It was my great honor to be able to hand deliver to Alan Perry his diploma. Alan had been unable to attend GATS graduation in April at Voice of the Prophets. As I prepared his diploma for mailing, I realized that I would be driving through his town on a family trip. So, we arranged to meet at the school where he teaches. What a blessing to meet Alan, celebrate his accomplishment, and hear testimonies of healing from the Agape Prayer Center - a healing ministry he has started in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Prayer Center was his vision throughout his GATS program and was cemented through his practicum experiences in a similar center in a nearby town. I love that FFCU-GATS offers us these opportunities to build the Kingdom, meet our brothers and sisters in Christ, and celebrate how God is ADVANCING HIS KINGDOM!

Perhaps you have seen this already, but Dr. Matthews is organizing an intercessory trip to the Bible College of Wales, July 21-28, 2019. We will be visiting some places that were important to Rees Howells and Samuel Rees Howells, and some other places that were key to the Welsh Revival. We will also be interceding for the nations on the grounds of the Bible College of Wales.
