Leaders from Africa, Wider Europe, and all over North America exhort us to pray. Presiding Bishop Tim Coalter shares a timely "Facing Forward" message on prayer and North America General Presbyter Dr. Brian Sutton relays information you will want to read about the Global COGOP's annual 21 Days of Prayer, January 6–26, 2025.

The White Wing Messenger is alive and well! We have had more than 250,000 people access the downloadable, digital magazine in the last year.

And there are exciting things coming in 2025! Added to our regular features and departmental pages, there will be three new monthly columns. Two are open submission columns: a column for testimonies ("This Is My Story"), and one about living the Christian life with a Pentecostal perspective ("From Glory to Glory: A Pentecostal Perspective").

"This is My Story" is for testimonies. Any subjects.

"Pentecostal Perspective" should be about being Pentecostal: What is "A Move of God?", narratives about revivals, miracles, explanations of what we believe about tongues, healing, boisterous worship, hand raising, etc.

Please pray about writing (in English, Spanish, or French) for the members and friends of the Church of God of Prophecy. And when the Lord says, "Write it!" obey him and then send it to

Coaching and editorial help is joyfully offered.

Jeremiah told Israel (5:31) that their prophets lie and their religious leaders operate in the flesh.

The word for prophet here is "nabi." Nabi literally means "to bubble up." It describes one who is stirred up in spirit. It is the most frequently used of the three Hebrew words for prophet in the Old Testament. Notice it does not connote telling the future. When bubbling up is applied to speaking, it becomes "to declare." Hence, a nabi is an announcer—one who pours forth words. Listen. I am going somewhere.

The most telling phrase comes next in that verse: "And my people love to have it this way."

I am drawn to this verse today because it points a finger at us. What lies do we love to believe? What lies that others have declared do we hold onto and repeat to defend ourselves? Can we even tell truth from lie? We have lost our discernment. There is truth. But we have left it by the wayside to follow lies. We believe passionate talk. We believe because of the sheer preponderance of words. We make excuses for lies, calling it spin (selah).

And what flesh-driven leader(s) are we happy to follow because he or she is entertaining and attractive and appeals to our human nature and desires? Anger is the attitude of the day. Immorality is used as entertainment, sorcery is on every channel. Do we know the truth about that? Hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, are used to interact with others. The Bible (Truth) calls out all of those lies by name and says, "Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God."

I know why the Word says that a few righteous people will barely escape the delusion that is coming on the world. We believe lies, we follow the flesh, and we love to live that way!

We know Joel 2 promises the Holy Spirit will be poured out. But are we walking in the Spirit? Are we depending on him to divide truth from lies? Verses 12 and 13 of Joel 2 say, “Even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Tear your heart (inner person; mind, will, and emotions) and not your garments (outer things; trappings of the flesh). Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”

What opinions have we formed in the crucible of tears? What beliefs have caused us to travail until we know that the Holy Spirit has judged them to be true?

1 Peter 5:8 instructs us to be sober-minded and serious, watching all around. The devil is prowling, looking for someone to take from the path and devour. Don't let it be you!
