ANNOUNCEMENT

We have some very exciting news to share. As a result of the ongoing growth at the Glory Gathering, we have been looking for better ways to minister to everyone that calls Glory Gathering their home. This has meant that we have been searching for a more permanent home as well as looking for ways to minister to families with young children. We have felt the Holy Spirit leading us to search for a building that will house the next stage of development of the Glory Gathering and New Day Ministries.

The Glory Gathering first commenced as a monthly meeting, 7 years ago at the Ukranian Hall in Cordelia Street, South Brisbane. Since that time the Holy Spirit has led us to commence weekly Glory Gatherings at increasingly larger premises. Just over 12 months ago, Emmanual Raj, prophesied this word at the Glory Gathering;

I am going to take this ministry to the next level of My Glory and God says this place is not going to be big enough for the number of people I am going to send, and God says, I am giving you a place in the heart of the city where there will be seated more than a thousand.

And God says, My Glory is going to increase in this ministry where people are going to drop in the Glory of God, just like that, as they enter the room. God has prepared for this ministry even before the word has been spoken, even before it has been ministered. I see people dropping down in the Glory and getting up with a miracle even before it has been spoken about healing. I see people getting from the Glory and coming to the front, experiencing and witnessing extraordinary miracles.

God says I am going to bring my revival fire to start from this ministry and go forward to the nations because of the faithfulness of my servants. God says it shall be done, what I am saying now and there shall be thousands that will be given to this ministry. And God says, get ready, get ready, for I am extending the boundaries of this ministry right in the heart of the city. I have prepared a place and in that place it will be like in the days of the apostles in the upper room and there is going to be a shaking; a breeze and a fire and God says, that revival fire is going to start right from here.

And the Lord says, My daughter, I am going to take you to the nations because I have called you from the very belly of your mother. And the Lord says, I have annointed you for such a season and for such an hour, because I am sending revival and you are a revival minister, and God says, what you speak, shall be confirmed with supernatural signs and wonders.

And God says, I will raise a team. I will raise a team that will you will carry to the nations, a miracle band to the nations and I see you in a big stadium in America with your own band, and as you are speaking I see Glory falling on people and I see people rising up to witness wonders and miracles and healings.

(Emmanuel goes on to prophesy about a television ministry. Interestingly we have just been told about the possibility of broadcasting on a national television channel in Finland.)

... The Lord says, My daughter, I am the Lord who is speaking to you. I am going to raise you to a level that you cannot understand because I have called you for the end times. I have called you for the end time glory. I have called you for the end time ministry and I have called you for the end time fire and nothing can quench this fire. Nothing can take this fire. I will stand with you. I will stand with you. I will stand with you. Thus says the Lord of Hosts in Jesus name.

Recently Pastor Matt Prater, from New Hope church approached us about the possibility of sharing the whole top floor (very big upper room) of a large building in the heart of the city. It is an amazingly accessible position minutes from the city and surrounded by major roads and motorways. It also has extensive parking available on site, as well as easy access to public transport. There are many great features alreay set up in the building and we will have the opportunity to begin a Sunday afternoon service that could be more convenient for families with young children. Friday night Glory Gatherings will continue.

Initially we are planning to begin with a month by month tenancy agreement until we are confident that a longer term agreement is sustainable. In the short term, the Glory Gathering finances will be stretched, and we will need to use some of the money we have saved up over the last few years. We are confident that God will continue to provide everything we need to complete the vision he has given to us. Much prayer has gone into making this decision and we believe it is the right move at the right time.

Tonight we will have the last service for 2009, as there will be no Christmas Day service. God willing, we will hold our final service in Springwood on 1st January. On the 8th January we are planning to hold our first Glory Gathering in the heart of the city. The new building is located at 46 Kelvin Grove Road, Brisbane.

Lots of love,

Katherine and Tom
