This was truly a special week of prayer. I saw the Holy Spirit move upon hearts that had been hardened. I’m seeing true revival and reformation in the lives of church members, and I see God bringing new people to hear these solemn messages. One of those is a neighbor by the name of Jorge, he owns a small welding shop here in the village. He has always been kind and friendly to us and the volunteers that come to visit. He has always tried to attended our meetings when invited, but has stood kind of ―afar off‖. But God touched his heart during this week of prayer and he requested bible studies with brother Hernando. They have spent hours studying; he brings his notebook and writes down every Bible text , asks questions, and, as we say, he is eating it up. The Holy Spirit is giving him discernment, he is now keeping
the Sabbath and attending every church service. I know his witness will be very meaningful in the village, because he is well known and respected, and people know that if he follows something, it is because it is truth.

here are three photos, perhaps upside down, depicting three people? Two in front, announcing the person who is to come? And what is the person's purpose? This was my discernment of the photo.
Heedfulness Or Hypocrisy In Ourselves?
"If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death." [1 John 5:16]
If we are not heedful and pay no attention to the way the Spirit of God works in us, we will become spiritual hypocrites. We see where other people are failing, and then we take our discernment and turn it into comments of ridicule and criticism, instead of turning it into intercession on their behalf. God reveals this truth about others to us not through the sharpness of our minds but through the direct penetration of His Spirit. If we are not attentive, we will be completely unaware of the source of the discernment God has given us, becoming critical of others and forgetting that God says, “…he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death.” Be careful that you don’t become a hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right with God before you worship Him yourself. One of the most subtle and illusive burdens God ever places on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning others. He gives us discernment so that we may accept the responsibility for those souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them (see Philippians 2:5). We should intercede in accordance with what God says He will give us, namely, “life for those who commit sin not leading to death.” It is not that we are able to bring God into contact with our minds, but that we awaken ourselves to the point where God is able to convey His mind to us regarding the people for whom we intercede. Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can’t unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors. Hallelujah, God bless

With support from Presbyterians Sharing, Two Rivers Church (TRC) in Guelph, Ontario, is exploring creative new ways of being the church. Two values that support their purpose of “inviting all to come alive in Christ” are “face-to-face church” and “every voice matters.” These commitments have literally shaped the way the congregation worships God. TRC’s Living Room and Liturgical practices invite people into circles and semi-circles to be seen and heard. Opportunity for conversation, asking and answering questions, offering testimony, and sharing in discernment of the Spirit’s voice creates space for the whole body of Christ at TRC to participate in worship and mission.
