NEW MESSAGE October 2013
To: Members of God's Family in Hickory.
We wanted to share this important message that was sent to a number of people in ministry that God led us to speak to in person about 6 weeks ago. It was about what God was saying concerning His absolute intention to make His People One Body, and not be divided any longer. All we spoke with received us, and received God's Message. The following letter marks the beginning of a New Day in Hickory!

To: The Great Friends of the Faith!
We come to you in the Wonderful Name of God and His Magnificent Son, Jesus Christ. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to God for what He is doing and has shown. He meant every word when He said His People were not to be divided any longer.
Make no mistake it was God who led us to meet with the 20+ Shepherds to deliver the Message which He Himself drafted. Without exception each of you received us as God's spokesmen, and the Message as truly from Him. You prayerfully considered it, and asked God to show you if you should attend the gathering set for Friday, September 6. Some of you were led to be there; others were led not to be there. It was God's meeting, and He in secret accomplished what He intended. What we didn't know, and what is enormously important, is that we feel God is saying that He Conceived the End Time Church. The Living, Authentic Expression of the Body of Christ in Hickory was Conceived before sundown on September 6. Nothing outward, or visible occurred at the meeting before sundown, but God Conceived something monumental, invisible and spiritual, unseen by us who were there. Those not in attendance did not miss anything, but it is utterly a New Day for all who truly want Him and His Order, His Government. We can expect that from this New Day forward as the old wineskin starts to unravel, the New Vessel, the New Wineskin, to be knitted together by God's own hand. Then it will be openly and gloriously manifested, convincing the world of it's true and powerful authenticity.
We lay all things at His feet to enter His House, His New Order: our lives, our possessions, our families, our ministries, our callings, our personal agendas. Conception is a beginning. Birth will come. The Trumpet will be sounded, God will call a convocation, and His King will be crowned. He has always had His rightful place legally and spiritually as absolute Head of His Church, but God wants this to become practical, visible, physical, and real on the earth. When people see this New Reality they will respond one way or another - accept it or reject it!
Now the obvious question for us is: what does this mean, and what is God saying to us? What is the practical outcome of this Conception? It is clear that from this New Day forward God will gather us, assemble us (show us our place in the Body), teach us, and dwell among us strongly that we may worship Him as He should be worshiped among His People. We will soon gather on Friday nights at 7:00 p.m. We will soon gather on Sunday mornings. We will soon gather into small groups for intimate sharing with one another. God will make it clear who will lead among us as His servant leaders. |

All announcements will be clearly posted. It is our strong sense that we will begin to meet in October. (Obviously wrong here!)
God will provide everything for us.
Yours with grateful and joyful hearts, Phil Needles and Shimon Bar-Ner. It is indeed a New Day!
