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

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 Bradley
Director, Alliance of Renewal Churches
