WHATEVER IT TAKES THEY WILL GIVE: BREAKING THE RULES.

SHAKING MEDIOCRITY FROM ITS COSY LITTLE HIDE. LAYING DOWN THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR PRECIOUS LITTLE WRONGS, LAUGHING AT LABELS, FASTING ESSENTIALS.

THE ADVERTISERS CANNOT MOULD THEM. HOLLYWOOD CANNOT HOLD THEM. PEER-PRESSURE IS POWERLESS TO SHAKE THEIR RESOLVE AT LATE NIGHT PARTIES BEFORE THE COCKEREL CRIES.

THEY ARE INCREDIBLY COOL, DANGEROUSLY ATTRACTIVE INSIDE. ON THE OUTSIDE? THEY HARDLY CARE. THEY WEAR CLOTHES LIKE COSTUMES TO COMMUNICATE AND CELEBRATE BUT NEVER TO HIDE

EXTRACT FROM THE VISION POEM BY PETE GREIG

Amy Orr-Ewing

“Plenty & comfort in this life are not promised in the kingdom. Instead, those who are crying tears because they have been excluded and insulted as a result of a firm allegiance to Christ have this nearness to God within their time if crisis. This is a profound and mysterious truth.

I witnessed this myself when worshiping  with 250 leaders of the underground church in China. many had suffered beatings and persecution because of their faith in Jesus. Yet I never experienced such joy in worship.”

There is a direct , dynamic link between the persecution of God’s people and the church growing rapidly as God’s kingdom advances. this is a Biblical principle.
