Most look above their heads and see clouds as an incovenient sorry sight, but Dave Gilpin begs to differ when it comes to the weather system looming over our outlook on 2012. He argues that it’s up to us to decide where the clouds ascend to and in turn where the rain falls. It’s down to our prayer and faith to lift the clouds from the low lands of faith to the highlands of faith. Every cloud carries the promises of God for our churches, ministries and personal lives. It’s time to shift the clouds. The storm contains the rain that brings the fruitfulness we’ve been praying for fo years.

This interactive teaching is all about bringing the ‘New Prophetic’ to a new generation of believers. Much of the old style of prophesying in church settings has been deliberately curtailed by many church leaders – and for good reasons. We live in a ‘celebrity culture’ where so many are afflicted by what they’re calling ‘Profile Addiction’ – a need to be seen and heard as a substitute for the Father’s love. We also live in an age where the need for role models necessitates that those who do prophecy are people others ought to aspire to be like.

In 2000 a new online Encyclopedia began called ‘Nupedia’. In 3 years it had gathered a total of 20 professionally edited articles. Someone wasn’t happy at Nupedia and suggested that anyone from any culture, age or background could add and edit articles in a new venture called ‘Wikipedia’. (Wiki means ‘fast’ in Hawaiian.) Today there are 4 million Wikipedia articles in English.
