PrayUK June Bulletin 2008
”His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters” (Revelation 1 v 15).
Dear Friends,
The glory of Jesus that was seen by John on the island of Patmos was so awesome that he fell at His feet as a dead man. The sound of Jesus’ voice was like the sound of a trumpet and of many waters. When Elijah heard the voice of God it was as the sound of a gentle breeze, a still small voice but knowing it was the voice of God, he covered his face with his cloak. God is speaking to His people today and across the world many have been experiencing the sound of the voice of God, drawing them into closer intimacy with Him and stirring them to a new level of alertness and effectiveness in the service of our King. Some have been experiencing the Pentecost sound of a mighty rushing wind whilst others have experienced a still small voice. In whatever way we may hear God there will be a life changing reaction to His holiness and His call on our lives. This is a day when God is doing a new thing, we need to have our eyes open to all that He is doing and our ears open to what He is saying to us. As He calls us and we are drawn after Him others will follow who do not yet know Jesus. This is His purpose as He builds His church and as the bride readies herself for the coming King.
Let us pray that we each hear the voice of God calling to His people and that we enlarge our hearts to catch the big vision that He has for us. Pray that we allow Jesus to draw us, His church and His bride after Him.
When God speaks it will be done. There is a door opening that no man can close. God has a purpose for these times and He will surely accomplish it.
Whether we are hearing the sound that is coming from heaven at the moment or not we have to keep persevering in prayer for ourselves as the bride of Christ and for many to be attracted to the light of Jesus reflected through His people.
May God’s blessing rest upon you and may you be filled up to overflowing with His spirit as you stand in prayer for our land.
