Where is God? He is right here - Aug 2005

Thinking about these bomb incidences in London, I am overwhelmed with the sense of God’s mercy, His longsuffering and patience with this nation and His church.

 God rules in the kingdom of man, and the Church is His habitation  on earth through which He will exact His rulership. This is living truth  we all give assent to.  I wonder sometimes how we, the Church, can live comfortably with the knowledge of the truth that God does not have any reserved solution  than what the world already has, THE CHURCH. God In and among Us.  The thought is awe inspiring.

 Many of us must be asking questions and trembling with holy fear as we ponder at the present state of the church. At the same time, It is exciting to hear God saying He will raise intercession up for this nation.  He will call His church to listen and attend to Her responsibility, which is the preaching of the Word of truth with Power and Prayer. The kind of intercession God is raising up It is not going to be just in big prayer gatherings alone,  but God will use people  who are not known  or carry the title 'intercessors'. They  are only known by the God who dwells in the secret place.

 A few years ago, the Lord warned us and said, ‘The work of intercession for this nation is not going to be accomplished by much noise on the street’.

 While I believe God appreciates and honors our obedience in mobilizing cooperate prayers, I believe He is raising up a generation of pray-ers who will only be known by heavenly hosts in the secret place. 

 The Lord therefore gave us this  instruction ‘Concentrate on building people so they can offer acceptable offerings of prayers to Me’ 

 As we sought the Lord’s guardian on this, that is, building people whose very life will be an offering to God,  we came across Pastor Francis Frangpane’s In Christ Image course. This has been an answer to prayers and great blessing to many for whom prayer has taken on a new meaning after being through the course. .

This course is a training tool for anyone who is serious about their calling to pray.  It is not a manual on prayer, but a key that unlocks the mystery of  human's involvement in prayer.

Like someone said 'God listens to the person and not prayer per se'  This is what the course is all about.  Has God not said He will make you into a new sharp instrument to break His enemy to pieces? Isa. 41:15, Jer. 51: 20. It is you who God wants to sharpen,  not your prayers, and this is what the course is for -To sharpen God's saints for effective warfare.
