Prophetic Voice Needed in Anaheim
"The Assemblies of God came into being as a result of the Pentecostal
revival that began early in the twentieth century. This revival came as
God's mighty supernatural answer to Modernism, the anti-supernatural
religious liberalism that was taking over the major Christian
denominations in America and around the world. Books written to defend the
faith were being ignored by the seminaries that trained their ministers.
The possibility of God-given miracles was denied. A spiritual vacuum was
developing." -- William W. Menzies and Stanley Horton: "Bible Doctrines: A
Pentecostal Perspective"

In just a few days we will gather in Anaheim California for the
Assemblies of God General Council. The Assemblies of God finds itself
today at the same place the mainline denominational churches found
themselves in the early twentieth century. Today's church is sick with
postmodernism and a liberal mind-set and it is killing them spiritual.
Today in the Assemblies of God our doctrines, values, principles,
teachings, and traditions are under attack, yet when a voice of concern is
raised, it is ignored as an out-of-date concept and regarded as a
prejudiced view. It is possible, that out of the dust of Anaheim there
will raise up a prophetic voice that will lead the Assemblies of God back
to the altar and holiness. However, it is also possible that the Holy
Spirit will choose another group to take up the standard of holiness and
the Pentecostal message the world so desperately needs to hear. The
postmodern world does not need an anemic, weak-kneed, sin laden church, but
a Pentecostal church; full of the miracle working power of God! Dear Lord,
help us to pray Thy perfect will!

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray,
and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." –
2 Chronicles 7:14 (MEV)
