Ecclesiastes 3 tells us “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” WPC believes we have entered a new season – a time of turning. Ecc 3:17 talks of “a time to judge every deed”. The key message for this season is – turn away from sin and seek God. The vast majority of people will not see the need to repent and far less the need to seek God. Jesus says “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” John 8:32. He continues “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin….. You belong to your father the devil…he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” This season of turning is also a season of intensified spiritual warfare. We are fighting the father of lies and praying for a revelation of the truth across our nation.

In this new season, we want to encourage a new approach to prayer. Our starting point is ourselves. Many of us are crippled by lies. The enemy attacks our self-worth, he picks at the scars of our disappointment, and he wants to stop us praying effectively. We often fail to engage in spiritual warfare because the enemy has told us it is not needed. We want to turn away from those lies, which weaken our effectiveness. We turn to Jesus, wanting to spend more time in His presence and listen to Him. We continually ask “how do you want me to pray Lord?” We are “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Heb 12:2).
This season of turning will include:

• A strong focus on praying for this powerful move of God to turn our nation around. Join us at our Prayershift and Watch and Pray gatherings as they step up a gear.
• Strategically, this is a time to pray for prayer. We have accepted prayer being a minority interest for too long. We believe God wants to mobilise His whole church to pray for and see a turning.
• We will be encouraging you and providing tools and resources to pray for this turning.
• We will be working with prayer and mission organisations and churches to encourage a shared call to pray and work for turning.

Date for your diary 12-14th March. Our next national prayer conference at Swanwick will focus on Time 2 Turn. We expect to see significant change in our nation when we gather together. Book online and take advantage of the early bird offer.
