K. Allan Blume BR Editor | Is this a movement of prayer? Recently, there have been several unique moments when I strongly sensed that God is doing something unusual. I’m not talking about small events. I believe God is moving across North America and the world. I believe He is preparing His people for something great and something special. One evidence I see is the large number of prayer movements popping up across the land. I have followed movements of prayer and taught in many prayer seminars and conferences. But I have never seen as much focus on prayer as I am seeing right now. In this week’s print edition of the Biblical Recorder, my editorial column points to some of these prayer movements. Please take a few minutes to read my comments. I would like to hear from you if you are willing to share about the prayer movements you are witnessing in your community. It’s time to pray for America like never before. It’s time to pray for our churches more than ever before. We need to pray for each other more fervently that ever. Pray! Email me: [email protected]. |
