Highway Acts 3:21
"Jesus
must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything,
as he promised long ago through his holy prophets"
ACTS 3:21
Some
time ago, the Holy Spirit started to speak regarding the Scriptures
in the Book of Acts Chapter 3, verse 21, which talks about the time
in which everything must be restored and of the manifestation of the
Glory of God.
"Antique
things will be brought to new splendour, old things will be destroyed
and new things will be brought to light. Some tracks will be closed
and others will be opened. It will not be sowed in sterile tracks and
they will be closed, but new tracks will be opened in unforeseeable
and unexpected ground. They will be sowed and will bring fruit in a
fast and abundant way".
This
prophetic word, received during a meeting amongst Apostles Paolo Montecchi,
Corrado Salmè e Lorenzo Lippi, speaks in fact about the apostolic vision
which must be brought back to its original splendour within the Church:
Religiosity is swept away (old things are eliminated) and the Holy Spirit
produces those new things, fresh revelations to which the Lord always
adds new things showing His children road’s (or paths) which remain
unknown up to a precise time. It is the continuation of that “Restoring
all things” process that must happen in order to welcome the bridegroom!
A restoration process often rich of new things, characterized by clear
cuts with the past, with our own security and mental schemes formed
with time.
The
above-mentioned prophetic word is a specific indication that plays a
fundamental role in illuminating the road that the Lord wants the Church
to undertake in this specific historical moment in time, in this further
step towards the final Restoration. A new path which has already been
traced in God’s heart and which wants to be undertaken with a different
preparation from what has accompanied us up to now.
Surely
everybody has noticed that we are living in particular days and also
in a new spiritual atmosphere. What the Church can do at this present
time was unthinkable five years ago. For example, the work that the
Holy Spirit is doing in the city of Milan: the chance to organize events
in the centre of the city were a nearly impossible dream which today
find full realization, many are, in fact, evangelicals, coming from
different “denominations” whom this year have come down to the city
squares to make their presence known (and heard). The more grace is
shed on us, the more we realize how important it is to return to the
simple model of the church and take part in the apostolic vision.
The
Lord is guiding us to go beyond the traditional way of operating, and
invites us to open the heart to be ready to receive new revelations,
new leading models, new strategies which can be efficient in bringing
fruit and preparing us for the coming times. There is in fact a vision
for the next few years, shared during a time of prayer by the three
pastors and felt by many believers in various parts of Italy: “A monster
which comes from the sea against the nation but which, not been able
to do anything, is forced to go back to the abyss”. In order to be
well prepared for the attack, we want to take and show a unity in the
vision and a new kingdom mentality in the nation, following the voice
of God.
It
is all through these times of prayer, communion one with another, and
sharing of visions and prophetic words, that the servants of God, in
one accord, have decided to receive the revelation coming from Acts
3:21 and have been guided to call intercessors and prophets in the nation
to come together in various Italian cities from the North to the South,
wanting to mark, in this way, a spiritual line which crosses the Nation.
In
every regional major city (“capoluogo di regione”) starting from
the North of Italy and following down the boot in a period of three
years with a time space of more or less three months, there will be
“Sacred Assemblies”: meetings of intercession and worship to last
a full day, from 10.30 in the morning to 10.30 in the evening, opened
to every single church, appealing particularly to intercessions, prophets
and young people. It is the answer to the call written in Joel chapter
2:15-16
"Blow
the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly. Gather
the people, consecrate the assembly, bring together the elders, gather
the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave
his room and the bride her chamber"
A
highway of praise – from the North to the South of Italy – will
be therefore built to prepare the way for the manifestation of God’s
Glory in view of the time of restoration of all things...
With
the “Sacred Assemblies” project, that we call A321 as per given
revelation, we want to “interpret” the desire and the heart of God.
Whilst the A321 movement will work to touch the various regions, the
local churches are free to organize sacred assemblies in their cities
even once a month. By moving in unity, we receive from Him continuous
directions; we prepare the spiritual ground for a big harvest and to
open the heavens with days of praise and prayer, moving in complete
unity.
Once,
Pastor Yonghi Cho said: "We have many conversions because the heavens
in Korea have been opened by prayer”. Let’s be prepared to pray
and search for God, worshipping Him and attracting His presence down
to our earth. Even in Italy, in every city intercessors and all churches
are invited to move in a prayer of unity that opens the heavens and
touches God’s heart, pulling down spiritual obstacles and thereby
opening the way for revival and transformation.
We
will start our First Sacred Assembly in Trento on 17th January
2009 to then end in Sicily in 2011. The last Italian city where we will
conclude this three-year period is Rome in December 2011 or January
2012. Every Italian regional major city will have hosted a Sacred Assembly.
During
the prayer meetings in which we received, little by little, the vision
for the A321 project, the revelation that 2012 would be a particular
year was shared, a Tsunami Spiritual time for Italy. Let’s prepare
ourselves in these three years for a time of great reaping, ploughing the heavens. Without any doubt, God is writing new pages in the Italian
spiritual history. Something antique will come back to shining again,
something old will be eliminated, and something new will be brought
to life.
Let’s
gather all intercessors, prophets and young people so that the Glory
of God is manifested during the days of continuous worship.
Furthermore,
the Lord is inviting His people to go up to the mountains tops of this
nation to pray and prophesy over Italy. Dedicated teams will be created
for this very purpose.
To
bring this vision to life all ministries will be invited in a movement
of unity that will require a lot of efforts and everybody’s collaboration.
Oikos Network is obviously part of this vision.
We
remain however attentive to receive more directions, opened to further
change, completely abandoned to the guide of the Holy Spirit.
