the shift continues
Here's a little quote from a recent prophetic word from Dutch Sheets.
The Shift of '06 Dutch Sheets
This will be a year of the greatest change the church has experienced in our generation. While preparing to minister in Dallas on January 5, I heard the Holy Spirit very clearly say, "Tell them. . ." I quickly grabbed a pen and wrote the following as it was givento me:
I must bring further changing of paradigms, not just to those who have not been moving in the flow of My spirit, but even to those who are in the flow of My Spirit. I heard Him say, Restructure, restructure, restructure. Ministries will restructure, churches will restructure, businesses will restructure, individuals will restructure (the way they do things, their time, the way they think, the way they operate), families will restructure. Teaching on the kingdom of God will bring about great changes of paradigms, taking us back to the original mandate of Genesis. You will hear it taught over and over again this year. Kingdom theology is going to be at the forefront.
Something is happening across Britain today: a new kind of church is beginning to appear; increasing numbers of
christians (recent research suggests between 40 & 100,000) are starting to gather in homes, colleges and work places.
Living out a 24-7 faith, they are missionally focused with a 'go to them' dynamic instead of a 'come to us' invitation.
These communities are small, fluid, organic, reproducible and most of all simple; so simple that any believer would respond
by saying "I could do that!"
The aim of this site is to connect, report and resource these new groups.
