There is an ever-increasing hunger and thirst arising in God’s family that cries out, “I just want to be with you.” This hunger goes beyond the mere desire to the place of passionate desperation to hold him and not let him go. This is a pure cry and desire that abandons everything in order to find him and be with him.
“Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go…”
Song of Solomon 3:4
Nothing can truly satisfy this desperate hunger but God alone. This hunger is accompanied by a deep longing to be together where together we experience a corporate intimacy that produces unity with God, unity with one another, and ushers us into a place of high praise.
Many have been hearing the voice of the Lord saying, “Come!” He is calling out to his bride from different parts of the world, saying, “Come, find me here.” One month it may be his voice coming out from Korea, then we hear his voice coming from Egypt and now we hear his voice calling out from the Gulf region of the Middle East. God is sending out invitations as he prepares banqueting tables in different regions of the world. His Spirit is calling and inviting different ones to come to particular regions of the world to join with the family in that area for a corporate banquet where we feast upon his love and the love of one another. Together, we will drink in his living waters and watch the land that our feet step upon receiving his living water.
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” and let the one who hears say, “Come!” let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Revelation 22:17
God is calling different ones to go to different regions of the world for the purpose of standing upon that land in unity with God, unity with one another, and from that place we will release high praise to the One who has given us life.
Most recently, God has sent out an invitation for some to gather together in UAE and Bahrain this coming October. He has prepared a remnant in the Gulf States for this sovereign time when doors will be opened and destinies for our Arab family will be unlocked. Please be praying, as many work tirelessly, preparing every detail in these two locations for a banqueting table of fellowship, communion, and feasting on his love. One may go and one may stay behind to pray—but all receive the same reward.
THIS IS US
Our Featured Global Family
By Kathi Pelton
Each month we feature one of our families from across the nations to get up close and personal with. This is one way that we can put names to faces and share family stories. This month we are featuring Gaby and Cosettte El Aouad from Lebanon. We have a beautiful video from them for you to view.
THE PERFUME
There has been a tangible intermingling of the fragrance of worship as we come together on zoom calls. Though we are from many nations and many time zones, we are experiencing a fragrance that fills each house across the globe as we worship together. The weight of his presence is coming upon our worship times when we are physically together and when we are across the world from one another but joined through the technology of the internet and the spirit of oneness.
Here is an interview with one of our amazing worship leaders from Northern Ireland, Rodney Burton.
If you have not heard Rodney’s new worship/soaking album titled, YHWH Breathe, be sure to add it to your playlist. Each song will usher you into an encounter with the deep love of God and his presence that will be breath new life upon your soul.
THE PLUMBLINE
The Plumbline is where you can get links to teachings and prophetic words that God is releasing through His family.
Our dear friend, Bill Johnson, lost his beautiful wife, Beni, in July after a long battle with cancer. Just days after her passing, Bill preached a powerful and poignant message that will change many lives. We invite you to listen to this message below.
THE PATH
Arabian Desert- Wadi Run, Jordan/September 2021
As we prepare to have a remnant of the global family go to UAE and Bahrain, we wanted to share with you a video clip from Emad Hamati (from Jordan) sharing what he has seen happening with the family from Bahrain regarding the Middle East and what God is preparing.
We also have an audio message from precious brother, Elijah Lee. He shares with us what the Lord spoke to him before the Korean family gathering in June. It is a powerful time of sharing and a significant revelation for the entire family.
THE PORTRAIT
“Drenched” By Sarah P. Jose
Baptism by fire and water. The purifying fire of the living God falls down on us, anointing our minds, hands, and legs. He makes us ready for action while giving us the freedom to swing through the variety of life experiences triumphantly. The living water drenches us, providing relief, and comfort: more than enough, abundantly more.
Oh God, help us accept your purifying fire. Let us welcome it. Let us live immersed in your living water. Let it pervade every cell in our body. Let it transform every thought in our minds. Let it bring freedom.
Sarah Jose and her husband Jose Joseph live in Pune, Maharashtra, India, which is the second largest city in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
