Julian Adams Weekend

Next weekend we have the privilege of receiving the ministry of Julian Adams into the life of Life Changers. A friend, a worshiper and strong prophetic voice, Julian manifests a theology and lifestyle of what a true son looks like. A ministry marked by prophetic accuracy and signs and wonders, this promises to be an inspiring, equipping and life-giving time as we prioritize the presence of God, His voice and in celebrating His faithfulness in giving us gifts. We are expectant and we recognize Julian as an Ephesians 4 type Prophet, but how can you best prepare your heart preceding the weekend and as well as during his visit in order to fully receive "a prophet's reward"?

1. Come with a faith-filled open heart, recognizing the office of a prophet which is more than a gift of prophecy we can all operate in.

2. Celebrate the corporate prophetic word for the church and do your part to see it fulfilled.

3. Rejoice with those who may receive personal words. If your heart leaps and witnesses with that word by faith, receive it for yourself.

4. Open your heart and mind to an impartation of the mantel Julian the prophet has so you can begin to walk in more of your prophetic gift, that is within each believer.

 

 

Matthew 10:41: “He who receives a prophet in {the} name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”

 

 

NCMI SA Equip (Part three)

Thursday was a good day.

 

 A morning filled with moustaches and Mexican gang terminology (Terry Kreuger), New Zealand accents and distasteful All Black references from Bruce Benge and rounded off with the stories of plane crashes and fearless courage from Hennie Keyter, I joined the chip and dip queue for lunch with a heart stirred afresh as well as with the very unsanctified thought of who I would least like to meet in a dark alley out of the three morning speakers. 20 minutes later the stirring had become more of a heart-burn as I ate my salty lunch way too fast, but I digress.

 

By the time 7pm rolled around and the countdown clock moved swiftly to zero, the prophetic voices were released to fearlessly declare new seasons and unmarked paths as well as to remind us of God’s original intent. Gill Patterson, Ash Bell and finally Mike Hanchett masterfully lead us through a very organic evening of refreshing and empowering. Definitely an unscripted evening, but the fingerprints of heaven were all over our gathering as the Spirit of God moved amongst us.

 

As Tyrone and others have echoed on numerous occasions, we are through transition and God has us in position. And if Thursday was a day of increased positioning, I have no doubt today we are ready to be launched.

 

And in terms of the dark alley question, I polled extensively (three guys nearest me at the time) and we all agreed that we feared Terry Kreuger the most.

That moustache alone would kill you.

 

Incoming Calls

There is a certain sense of electricity in the atmosphere as God is on the move in Life Changers like never before. With strong prophetic preaching and ministry over the last month or so, there is a definite acknowledgement that God is taking our moments and stringing them together like only He can do, to put together an exciting revival type feel. But for a community to live in an ongoing and sustainable state of revival, expectation and breakthrough, individuals have to carry it first. 

Realising the season we are in, we as a church leadership have invited three apostolic and prophetic Ephesians 4 gifts to come and add perspective, impetus and guidance into the life of our church over the next few months. To whet your appetite, below is just a brief synopsis of each of these friends of ours and the dates they will be coming:

Mark and Candice Van Pletson

(13th-14th October)

-Been on the eldership team at Glenridge under both Rory Dyer and Ryan Matthews where Mark oversees the worship, the operations and does a large portion of the preaching at their two sites. He carries a strong apostolic gift and speaks into church leaderships around the country.

Ryan and Melissa Matthews

(15th-18th November)

-In 2008 this couple took over the leading of Kingsgate (then London Church International) in London, UK before returning in July 2011 to Durban to take over leadership of the Glenridge eldership team. Ryan is passionate about the presence of God and for the church to live in the full expression of the trinity

Julian Adams

(2 weekends in January 2013)

-Julian is currently based with The Kings Arms in the UK where he ministers from and into many other nations and contexts all around the world.
