Eat the Hidden Manna

Revelation 2:17a, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna.”

We need to eat the hidden manna in order to be incorporated into the New Jerusalem as the tabernacle of God. (Orthodoxy, week 4, III.A) To overcome the degradation of the church and to return to and remain in the orthodoxy of the church, we need to advance in our eating, to have a personal and intimate time with the Lord in His living and operative word.

Lord, Thrust Out Workers to Your Harvest in Germany

Matthew 9:37-38, “He said to His disciples, The harvest is great, but the workers few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest that He would thrust out workers into His harvest.” At a fellowship between messages 9 and 10 of the winter training, we were encouraged to open to the Lord and to beseech Him for four types of thrusting out.

  1. The emigration of trained and experienced families and saints for the practical strengthening and
    building up of the local churches in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, and Stuttgart, Germany.
  2. Beginning February 1, a continuous presence of five laborers with campus experience in each of these
    four key cities, each serving at least one month, to gain German college students.
  3. Beginning February 1, a continuous presence of ten laborers in each of these four key cities, each
    serving at least one month, for the perfecting of a small number of the most seeking refugees, who
    would then perfect others in their own language group.
  4. Many saints to join the Bible distributions and conferences throughout Europe in October 2017.
    Information about these and more aspects of the Lord’s move in Europe are in the four page “Europe Report – Winter 2016” (links in Europe item below).

Europe

“Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock” (Ezek. 36:37).

Currently, approximately 4500 saints are meeting in many cities in Europe. However, in Ezekiel 36:37 the Lord promised to increase His people with men like a flock. In this verse the Lord said that He would be inquired of by His people concerning this matter. Therefore, we need to pray for this and ask the Lord to fulfill this word in

Europe in 2017 (Luke 10:2).

The four page report distributed at the winter training is available at https://churchinlosangeles.org/prayer/ and http://www.lordsmove.org/pdfs/2016WinterTrngEuropeReport.pdf. Information about blending trips and conferences in October 2017 is at http://itero2017.amanatrust.org.uk.
