There is a massive wind of change that is finally coming. This spiritual climate shift is happening in order to blow away the things in our lives that have held us back. It will remove things we have "battled" with in the past. As long as we are in the place that God has called us, we will be safe. God is blowing away debris and preparing us now for a dramatic change.We need to embrace the changes that are coming and not be afraid.

We’ve caught God’s passion and urgency to have our hearts ready for the huge harvest of Papa’s sons and daughters who will soon be coming into His house. He is inviting us as a family to walk in the fullness of His Spirit in a more dynamic and real way than we’ve ever experienced before.
It’s time for the body of Christ to rise up and be the full expression of Jesus together!

Winds of Change will be a jet stream used by God to usher us into:
• Experiencing revival that will restore hope and life
• Inviting Heart transformation that impacts our homes and communities
• Living more wholeheartedly in relationship with one another
•Representing Christ with increasing accuracy as His ambassadors of love and reconciliation
6
Experiencing Revival• Revival--To live again! Jesus breathing
life back into us!
• A return to wholehearted living after the enemy has tried to cause parts of us to die.
•God filling the meaning in the emptiness of people
• “He will revive us that we may LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE!” Hosea 6:2

To sustain revival, in addition to flowing with Holy Spirit, there has to be openness to character development, learning how to live whole-heartedly and led by the Spirit, individually and corporately.

• You are all qualified as assistants—when possible we would like you to be paired up and we will make the decision who the leader is. We can’t make that decision until after we find out who is in and what regions you are from. Current home group leaders would continue to lead.
• Open home groups for the first 3 session before becoming closed groups
• New groups could start along the way.
Some Practicals:
