Listen to this HeartCry message

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday 11.30am-2.30pm (UK time)

COME DRINK NEW WINE! MARANATHA- Luke 2:36-38

V 36. Anna the prophetess, nee Phanuel, tribe of Asher. A woman with a proper genealogy in Israel. She too waited for the 1st coming of the Messiah. She waited for MARANATHA!

ü  To cry MARANATHA I must be a man/woman of genealogy; confirmed member of the new race, not of the adamic race.
Establish me in the genealogy of the new race. Make me a new creation indeed.
Make my life traceable through the full Gospel. Confirm my new nationality.
Make me a full blown partaker of the divine nature- A carrier of Christ's life


Anna started young and was consistent to her old age. Short lived comfort of marriage did not shake her consistence. rather, it firmed it up. Her widowhood became a great weapon for her to achieve God's purpose and make her a woman of destiny, reported by heaven.

ü  Make me consistent in seeking Your coming despite my changing situations.
Help me see every circumstance of my life as an implement to achieve destiny.
my gender, status, health condition, wealth, poverty, ethnicity, knowledge, etc. All are great weapons for a focused and consistent MARANATHA crier.
Sharpen all my implements through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Make me focused on the return of my LORD as Anna was on HIS birth- Phil3:12-14


Anna was connected to God and to people. She did not isolate herself to live a lonely life despite her great challenges early in life.
Loneliness is a disease of our time, helped by technology- iPods, iPads, Social media, etc.
People under the same roof yet barely communicate in person. LONELINESS!
- Anna a woman in a family
- Anna a young wife
- Anna a sister in the temple, people heard her prophesy
- Anna a preacher of the Gospel, she spread the good news of Jesus' arrival to people.
A connected woman at all times. You cannot cry MARANATHA! if you cut connection either with God or with people, or both.

ü  Connect me properly with You through the power of Your Word and Spirit.
Connect me properly with the brethren through my discipleship. Let me grow well.
Connect me properly with the sinners through the preaching of the Gospel.
Let my life cry MARANATHA to heaven and also on earth.
