Prayer Gathering: Saturday, October 23, 2021

October 23, 2021

What have we become? During times of adversity, challenge, and trouble we’re forced to adapt and change to meet the moment.

So what have we become? More like Christ? More like the world? Stuck?

God’s plan for us, collectively and as individuals, requires something of us: A change of heart. A change of purpose. A change of what we do so that we can become more like God.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

We invite you and your church leaders to join us at 9am on Saturday, October 23 for a time of prayer and spiritual formation. It’s an opportunity to discover what God has in store and to decide whether you’re ready to become what God wants you to be.

There will be worship, guided prayer, and times to connect in prayer with other leaders from across the conference. We are providing both an in-person and virtual experience to allow for all of our churches and leaders to be involved.

So mark your calendars and invite your church family to be part of this important event.

Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin
Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin

Bishop E. Kenneth Martin delivers a prophetic challenge to the Free Methodist Church, confronting deep-rooted issues of spiritual bondage, systemic oppression, and the church’s complacency. “Churches are dying in a cage,” he declares, calling for a radical shift in how the church addresses:

– Spiritual chains of sin and oppression
– Historical and ongoing impacts of slavery
– Diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges
– The church’s reluctance to engage difficult conversations
– Breaking free from “nasty” church politics and self-serving leadership

“This is a season of manifestation,” Martin says, urging a breakthrough from 2025 to 2035 that will transform the church locally and globally.
