Following the sad news of Todd Bentley’s personal situation many people have been devastated, not the least of which is pastor Stephen Strader from Ignited Chuch in Lakeland where the outpouring started. Despite the circumstances the outpouring continues and here follows a recent prophecy given by a member of Stephen’s team. Please pray for them as they move forward in serving the Lord together.

Plow deeper and reach the seed that has been sown before you.
Investments were made for you for this day.
Great spiritual wealth is laid up for you.

Foundations were laid with the pattern of heaven.
Build on this!

My harvest is a harvest of those who understand the day they are living in.
My harvest is so great that there will not be granaries to contain it!
My churches will be filled!

I am building my church, says the lord, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Plow deep, go forward, have a new determination in your spirit.
There is no turning back, says the lord.
All has been prepared for you for this season.

Now plow in the spirit like never before!
I am giving seed to the sower – holy seed is in the hands of your god.
Let my kingdom be established in the earth.
All power, all potential has been given unto you.
Now plow deep in the spirit and find your inheritance!!

Few would deny that we are seeing a fresh move of God’s Holy Spirit and that this is an exciting time for God’s Church. He is moving powerfully across the world in this generation, and in particular many churches across the UK have seen an increased desire for more. For some years prophecies have been shared about the UK (the most well known is Jean Darnall’s vision in 1967 whilst staying at St. Mary’s church in Poole- copies are available on from Together for the Kingdom www.tftk.net and what we are seeing today are many Christians seeking after the Lord in a new way. It is so encouraging to see how God is igniting the hearts of Christians across the world so that they can bring this fire to their churches.

For some time now we have been challenged by the Lord to look at the wineskins we have for the new wine he is pouring out. We have seen a large number of ecumenical services starting across the UK and we feel that the Lord has been prompting us to host a new ecumenical service based at St. Andrew’s Church, Kinson this Thursday. It is our hope that ‘Ignite’ will be a space where people can worship together and receive prayer for healing and anointing regardless of which denomination they worship in.

Please be assured that we are not intending to ‘sheep steal’ or in any way ‘compete’ with the ministry of any local Church. We have decided to hold Ignite on Thursday evenings (starting at 7:30) as we hope that it will not clash with too many other Church activities. At Ignite we will not be publicising any of the other activities St Andrew’s offers or asking for any form of offering for the work at St. Andrew’s. We are not trying to create another service for St. Andrew’s Church, rather we feel the Lord is asking us to create a space whereby people who are hungry for God can come midweek to worship and receive prayer.

We have called the service ‘Ignite’ as our prayer is that Jesus will ignite the sparks in all our hearts so that we become infernos who burn brightly for God and bless the community they are serving. If you would like more information please do contact the church office 01202 570 010.

Yours in Christ,
