eNews | Friday 3rd February
Dear eNews Friends & Family,
Psalm 126: 1-2
We have just completed our 3 Days of Prayer and Fasting and a big well done to everyone who stepped up into this moment.Great things are coming, and they are coming your way.Last week in Dallas I was given a very encouraging prophetic word from a pastor at a large church:
these he prophesied, were days of double restoration.
Restoration was one of those huge themes that begins way back in the Old Testament. There were no prisons in those days, so when a thief was caught in his act of theft he was compelled to make restitution. He had to give back but not only what he stole but far more besides, that’s restoration. So I can only begin to imagine what Double restoration looks like.This opening Psalm, unlike most of the other Psalms was not written by David, but it’s thought was written by Ezra as he led a returning minority exile group to Jerusalem and then proceeded to rebuild the Temple.They sang these songs of ascent as they came up to meet with God and it describes their euphoric feelings of coming out of captivity, back to their city and on into the house of God. So great was the breakthrough that even the nations said 'God has done spectacular things for them'. Great things are on their way…..
