The western Church has an unhealthy force in her midst, warns
prophetic pastor Loren Sandford. It is a consuming focus on "self"
and it is eroding ministry and blocking revival.
Sandford speaks to the growing undercurrent of hunger for what is
truly authentic. He explains the critical need for sacrifice and
challenges the church to return to the cleansing power of Jesus'
blood.
Readers who long for a return to true faith and genuine prophecy
will find their spirits refreshed by this message and see new power
and life in ministry. Anyone with a heart for prophecy,
intercession, and revival will answer this call to recover biblical
focus and rediscover biblical levels of Holy Spirit
manifestation.
The Church's sure foundation: Are we watching it crumble?
The Western Church is slowly slipping away from her biblical
moorings, warns prophetic pastor Loren Sandford. And by doing so
she is sinking into a culture repelled by the demands of biblical
truth.
- Genuine spiritual experience is being displaced by the need for
ongoing excitement.
- Selfless life and ministry are shifting into a personal
prosperity gospel.
- The prophetic voice too often caters to the perceived needs of
the people.
God planned a different culture for His people, explains Sandford,
one that lives the message of Jesus and His cross. Join those who
embrace a vision for cleansing the prophetic stream; who are
rediscovering miracles, healings and demonstrations of power; and
who are rebuilding a firm foundation.
