What Next?
What Next — from earlier — but another one is happening as we watch!
Finding myself alone for most of the day, I decided to just seek The LORD. ‘What next?’ seemed a reasonable question, to me at least, so I simply asked the question —- “What next, LORD?”
“I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another.” Ezekiel 34:22
I saw a man half eaten up by maggots! “What’s this LORD?”
“It is the state of My People, My Church, today!”
I saw a branch with almond blossom . “What’s this, LORD?”
“It is time for new life, new growth, new fruit…..”
I saw a young vigorous man – healthy, clear skinned. “What’s this LORD?”
“It is My Vision of My Church in a few years time!”
Now you may make of all this whatever you will, but here is what I understand.
I believe The LORD is starting to clean up and straighten out His Church — all who will truly and faithfully follow Him, preach the true Gospel complete with repentance, and fulfill The Great Commission.
There is coming, starting NOW, such a move of The Holy Spirit that even the most traditional and staid Churches will want to be a part of it.
I believe many will leave The Church because the status quo is being upset.
Others will move Churches in order to experience more of what is happening.
Those previously hurt by The Church will start to return. Backsliders will return. Healing and Deliverance will become ‘normal’.
We are not to judge. We are simply to ‘love one another as I have loved you’! By these fruits the world will see the church in a different, more attractive light and they will come running crying out, “Why did you not tell us and show us this before?”

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
Amen – let it be so
Thank you Chris, this makes perfect sense. Although we like things done yesterday, the Lord is being so gracious in tending to the flock. Yes, the church as many have known it will be turned upside down, as if to shake out all that shouldn’t be there, leaving only that, that should be there. Very exciting times. Blessings
