12.12.12. A Time of prayer and listening.
12.12.12. A Time of prayer and listening.
A call to align with God, and His purposes for our lives.
Across the spheres of our society, God, who is light, is revealing that which has been hidden in darkness. He is calling His people to pray. He is calling his people to communicate His love and to speak out boldly in the midst of crisis.
At 12 noon on 12.12.12 will you join us in gathering together to pray? The number 12 speaks of God's perfect government, and of His authority. This is a moment to pray for God’s government in our individual lives, in our churches and in our nation.
Wherever you gather with other believers, please pray for these two key areas:
Pray for an awareness of what God is doing at this time, of being part of the Body of Christ and say yes to being in alignment with Jesus, the Head of the Church.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
We will come before God in quietness, in humility, seeking His direction for each of our lives, and with hearts repentant of the sin that is in the church as well as the nation. We believe that God will speak, and hear our prayers. Our prayer is that as we unite and align under Gods authority we will begin to see the manifest authority of God in our land.

Psalm 66:7 He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Matthew 23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

The Forge School of Faith-2
The Forge School of Faith-2
(Friday 19th April – Friday 17th May 2013)
“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work.” (Isaiah 54:16)
Two Weeks: The Forge School of Faith (December 2012)
We sensed last June, 2012 that God wanted us to launch the first school, in order to lay a faith foundation and redeem and restore the inheritance of Rees Howells. We had a wonderful time for two weeks at The FORGE School in Wales. It was beyond our expectation. (4 attendees' testimony video clip)
God brought everything into a beautiful and wonderful picture of a new movement of God. God has envisioned, encouraged, challenged, healed and united us as the family of God. We foretasted a little of his full picture of a movement with a lifestyle of community, worship and intercession. Thank you so much for your prayers, gifts and participation in various ways.
Four Weeks: The Forge School of Faith (April & May 2013)
“A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.” (Genesis 2:10) A couple of weeks ago, God really encouraged me through this scripture to extend this school to go out to the nations from Wales. Therefore we are going to hold 'The Forge School of Faith-2' for TWO WEEKS in Wales and for TWO WEEKS in the Middle East; an exciting opportunity.

The FORGE vision (English & Korean)
The FORGE vision
“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work.” (Isaiah 54:16)
God has commissioned us to redeem the land Rees Howells once purchased and made the site of the Bible College of Wales, a place of intercession and training for the mission field, which is now vacant and for sale. (One of the two former Bible School sites has been purchased by Cornerstone church in Singapore)
The vision we, and many others, have is to open a centre there which functions both as a prayer house with intercession for Israel and the nations and worship; a training centre to prepare workers for the mission field in these last days and also preparing a place for Jewish people.
The picture God has given us is of a spiritual FORGE, where apprentices learn how to handle fire, water, oil and metals and wrestle them into useful weapons, and where the apprentices are themselves forged through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit's fire to become useful tools in His hands.
War changes everything in our lives. We need to understand that we are at war and we are called to fight. Our weapons are not physical weapons and are different from this world's: the love of God and the word of God. (2 Corinthians 10:4) These weapons are unfailing and invincible. We have to prepare for battle; we have to beat ploughshares into swords and pruning hooks into spears. (Joel 3:9-11)
If we are deceived by our enemy's deceptive peace, we will be disarmed like in king Saul's time. There was no blacksmith in Israel, so on the day of the battle not a soldier had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them. They were deceived by the Philistines' strategy. (1 Samuel 13:19-22)
Therefore we have to build The FORGE to make not only swords but also blacksmiths who know how to deal with iron, fire, water, air and ash in order to forge weapons of God.
대장간 비전 / The FORGE vision
“숯불을 불어서 자기가 쓸만한 기계를 제조하는 대장장이도 내가 창조하였다.” (이사야 54:16)
1924년 리즈 하월즈에 의해서 세워졌으나 문을 닫은 웨일즈 성경학교 부지를 구입해서 이곳이 중보와 선교를 위한 센타로 다시 회복되도록 하는데 저희는 부름을 받았습니다.
이 대장간 비전은 저희를 비롯해 여러 사람들이 이 성경학교 부지가 예배의 센타, 이스라엘과 열방을 위한 기도와 중보의 센타, 그리고 이 마지막 추수 때 선교 일꾼들을 훈련하고 다음 세대를 길러내는 훈련의 센타, 그리고 유대인들을 품고 훈련하는 장소로 다시 세워지게 하는 것입니다.
하나님께서 주신 그림은 영적 대장간에서 견습생들이 어떻게 물, 불, 기름, 그리고 쇠를 다루며 이 과정을 통해 유용한 도구들을 만들어 내는지를 배우고, 자기 자신들을 하나님의 손에 맡겨 그 분의 말씀과 성령의 불로 풀무질 되고 물로 담금질 되어 하나님의 유용한 도구로 다시 태어나게 하는 것입니다.
전쟁은 우리 삶의 모든 것을 바꾸어 버립니다. 우리는 우리가 전쟁 가운데 있으며 이 싸움을 위해 부름 받았음을 인식해야 합니다. 우리의 무기는 이 세상이 들고 싸우는 총과 칼이 아니라 하나님의 사랑과 그 분의 말씀입니다(고린도후서 10:4). 이 러한 하나님의 무기는 결코 실패하지도 않고 패배하지도 않습니다. 우리는 이 싸움을 준비해야 합니다. 쟁기를 쳐서 칼을 만들고 낫을 쳐서 창을 만들어야 합니다(요엘 3:9-11).
만약 우리가 원수의 위장된 평화전략에 속는다면 우리는 사울 왕 때처럼 무장해제를 당하게 될 것입니다. 블 레셋 사람의 전략으로 인해 그 당시 이스라엘 땅에는 대장장이가 모두 사라져 버렸습니다. 그래서 전쟁의 날이 되었을 때 사울과 그 아들 요나단 외에는 칼과 창을 가진 병사가 아무도 없었습니다(사무엘상 13:19-22).
그러므로 우리는 이 대장간을 세워 칼을 만들어 낼 뿐만 아니라 대장장이를 일으켜야 합니다. 대장장이들은 아침에 일찍 일어나 풀무에 불을 다시 지피고 그들의 손이 더러워지는 것을 마다하지 않습니다. 하나님은 성령의 불을 어떻게 다루는지를 알고 당신의 살아 있는 말씀인 성령의 검을 제대로 만들어 낼 줄 아는 영적 대장장이들을 일으키며 훈련하고 계십니다.
만약 지금 우리가 리즈 하월즈의 유업을 회복하여 이 영적 대장간을 세우고 영적 대장장이들을 훈련한다면 그들이 스스로 하나님이 주신 은사들과 기술들을 사용하여 이 마지막 때의 기근과 전쟁에서 무너지지 않고 오히려 하나님 나라를 확장하는 전사들로 일어나게 될 것입니다.
