Ministry

Hi George,

I recognize in your testimony that the Lord truly has re-ordered and re-focussed your steps and prepared you and leadership as new vessels for the new season. But it will be a season like we have never seen before!

What we see in Holland in the established churches is a tremendous shift especially in current leadership and not because of sin per say but it is really happening. People in leadership, some even in the close circle of the set man are leaving their church turf with much tears and hurt!

God at work and shaking in and out! We are tested and challenged. I shared this with Romero the other day because I felt in my spirit a strong sense of the new wine and new skins. It is really going on. And it hurts like never before but is necessary. Some symptoms ministers are facing are: a to the bone tiredness, a sense of 'I'm I really called to do this', Secret thoughts to give in or to give up, been hurt by others especially in the inner circle etc.

So I encourage you to push and proceed with a new fervency as you have never been pushing before. New spiritual territory with new anointings, new giftings is ready for you and leadership for the take.

Let the new Wine flow ...

Many blessings,

David

This is definitly a tough time. Transistions go well with some and difficult for others. We have transistions into a strong network of solid leaders but was hell getting here. It took a lot of dying and about 4 years. I believe in you so much and would do anything possible to help in your transistion.

Dear George,

Thanks for sharing! The LORD bless you in this new season.
God is good. He seems to be emphasizing realignment lately - and it seems that you have made this shift. I believe it will be positive.
May the LORD bless you in the next steps and the Apostolic Reformed church in Bulgaria.

Just a comment, I agree with what David Rakers shares in the comment above, it is about new wineskins. Ps Richard Williams from History Maker International (Apostolic & Prophetic network for evangelism and discipleship mainly among youth) just shared with me the same about the partners (pastors) and often key people in their churches - many have left, but it was necessary. God is doing something to prepare for the new wine. Trust that encourages you.

Sincerely with blessings, Sian

Thank you EVERYONE for the encouraging words! I am inspired to see that more and more Christians are realizing how serious this whole thing is and more and more maturity is coming to the Church.

George - I want to tell you how much of a blessing you and Wanda are --you have continued to stand with whole-hearted firm integrity and we appreciate your steadfastness, and your open and honest communications to the Body (just as the Apostle Paul wrote letters to the church), this is very powerful, demonstrating your commitment to God and love for the Body, to do whatever is Godly and necesary to destroy confusion and bring clear understanding and unity. I admire your transparency - which is honorable and demonstrates humility. I stand with you in prayer in Jesus name.
