Cindy Jacobs Prophesies: The Lord Says, ‘Romans 8:28 Is in Full Effect’

It’s very interesting how the Holy Spirit will use things that you’re going through to not only prophesy to you, but also to prophesy over the body of Christ. In listening to other people and hearing what’s been coming out of their mouths, I felt like the Lord wants to comfort us. There were two phrases that the Holy Spirit addressed.

A Test to Trust for the Timing

The first phrase was, “I thought by now. I thought by now.” The Lord is saying, “By now you thought that child would not be a prodigal. By now you thought your finances would be different. By now you thought your health would be different. By now you thought you would’ve seen the manifestation of the family healing.” But the Lord is also saying, “I am processing and doing things behind the scenes. Trust Me with the timing.”

And you know what? I realize that it’s a test for us to trust Him with the timing—test to trust for the timing; those three T’s. So the Lord just says to you, “I hear you. I hear you. I hear you when you weep for your family. I hear you when you can’t find that job. I hear you.”

Non-Traditional Church Congregants Find New Way to Praise Jesus ‘Down in the Dirt’

Three years ago, Chris Battle walked away from his pastoral duties after three decades of leading Black Baptist churches in Tennessee. Battle left, he told NPR.org, because he wasn’t seeing much of a connection among people, the unity in the body that Jesus Christ died for.

Battle says he felt like people were turned off by sermons, pitches for money and the “Sunday morning formality of all of it.”

“I said to myself, ‘maybe we need to do church differently,'” Battled says. “But what does that look like? I didn’t know until I got to the garden.”

Jamal Bryant, the ‘Pro-Choice Pastor,’ Should Sit Down

You probably already heard that Rev. Jamal Bryant, pastor of 10,000-member New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, defended abortion from his pulpit last summer after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision. Bryant said on June 26—ironically during a baby dedication at the mega-church—that the high court’s ruling “declared war on women in this nation.”

Last week, Bryant continued his tirade by asking Black churches to stop opposing abortion. “Christianity is in and of itself pro-choice, but we don’t say anything because a lot of Black churches are white evangelicals in drag,” Bryant said on The Cool Soror Podcast.

If you watched Bryant’s infamous baby dedication ceremony in June, you’ll know that the most shocking thing about it was not Bryant’s anti-biblical comments, but the fact that so many people in the auditorium were clapping and nodding their approval. Congregants who were dressed up for church were actually applauding the pastor after he announced that God approves of killing unborn babies. {eoa}
