New Book from ARC Leader Danny Mullins

              ARC leader, Danny Mullins, has published a new book. Darkness to Light, is the story of one man’s courageous journey out of a dark season of life toward healing and wholeness. It is the story of Danny’s refusal to settle for less than all God has for him. This book is refreshing because it is written in such a vulnerable and transparent manner. The insights Danny shares from Psalm 27 are hope-filled and life-giving for those who are in a season of life that lacks both.

 ARC National Leadership Team member, Graeme Sellers, writes of Danny’s book, “This book is Danny’s public account of how bitter experiences pushed him toward wholeness. The greatest value of this book lies in its bald, matter-of-fact narration of the dark places of our inner lives and the lunatic self-management of our emotional prisons…Here, in the straightforward description of these bleak and life-stealing conditions, is to be found much of the greatness of this book. It is a warm and human challenge of our inability to fix ourselves, and a hope-filled declaration of the innate kindness of God in doing for us what we cannot possibly do for ourselves.”

Order your copy of Darkness to Light on amazon.com. Then order a copy for someone you know who may benefit from the hope and life it shares.

“Now is the time of my favor and my people will walk in it.”


By Mike Bradley, ARC Director


Dear ARC Leaders,
I want to share a prophetic word with you that I believe is from the Lord for the entire ARC network this year, a word not merely to be heard but to be lived into. Please read it, test it, and then let me know what you think.

Now is the time of My favor and My people will walk in it.
This is the word from the Lord we are hearing in my home church, Wonderful Mercy, and which Hope Community Church is hearing in Long Beach, CA. As I’ve listened to this word being declared and preached in both locations, I am convinced it is a word from the Lord to all of us in the Alliance of Renewal Churches. As this word has been declared and proclaimed, it has also been accompanied by a focus of ministry for every ARC leader and Church to be intentional in serving the world—locally and trans-locally.

Thus, the connection is that as we move intentionally in serving the world we are going to experience an increase of God's favor upon our lives as individuals and as churches.
Test this. Weigh it. And if you believe this is a word of the Lord, act on it.

We are doing that here in Arizona at Wonderful Mercy Church and Bob Mabry and Hope Community are doing so in Long Beach, CA. It is a word that is influencing our preaching and teaching, our worship and prayer, and strategic initiatives which both churches are launching this year.


As Director of the ARC, I believe this is a word for the entire network. Please take it seriously. Last year we shared a word from the Lord concerning improbable provision. Where leaders took it seriously they and their members reported testimonies of having experienced it, and some continue to experience it.
I encourage you to visit the websites of both Wonderful Mercy (www.wonderfulmercy.org) and Hope Community Church (www.hopecclb.org) and listen to the sermons Graeme and Bob have preached on the theme of favor.
Now is the time of My favor and my people will walk in it as they serve the world.

May you hear whatever God has to say to you in and through this word.

In God’s unshakable and extravagant love,

 
Mike
