Its a blessing when a person who hears God ends up in a place of broad influence. In a column in the latest Charisma Magazine introducing their new managing editor, Troy Anderson, Steve Strang, publisher, quotes him as recognizing some of the things I and others have been saying the last few years. One Spirit! Troy is quoted as saying that many believe the great falling away is already underway. Yes indeed - to me that is quite obvious, though many discount it. He also said that Many faith leaders believe Americas sole hope is another Great Awakening. Amen! What else can ever bring this nations society and culture back to valuing the ways of God. I believe the Pentecostal/charismatic movement will take on an increasingly visible role as a conduit for the work of the Holy Spirit as a strong and courageous voice to uphold Judeo-Christian traditions and biblical truth, according to brother Troy. Why is that? Because, I believe, God is accelerating building His church by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit far and wide. And the believers and churches operating in Holy Spirit-revealed truth are advancing Gods Kingdom, bringing in the harvest more and more, and these great numbers of believers God will use to influence the culture. He is quoted as saying he is excited about this new role because Charisma influences leaders in the Pentecostal/charismatic movement, which, he noted, is one of the worlds fastest-growing religious groups and one that is key to the future of the church. In the last century, the number of Pentecostals, charismatics and members of independent churches has grown from less and 1 million to more than 600 million. God has been doing a mighty work in the face of growing end-time darkness and falling away, raising up a huge remnant of spirit-filled, praying believers and churches filled with the light of Jesus that drives back darkness, to be laborers in the harvest, bringing in all who will.
