1- Slowly.

d) If its fulfilment seems slow – wait for it.
e) It will surely take place, it will not be delayed.

Chris.
We are to flee from the stranger who tells us wrong things. God has Created the Church to be the bastion of Truth. We live in days when many churches are spiritually struggling or dry. This means that the members of those churches are thirsty or disillusioned with Church. They should pray for their church and not run after some para church organisation or charismatic preacher. So often these para church and preachers are strangers we should be running from. The only para church that is acceptable is the para church that is supported by and accepted by the local Church, therefore the Church members can openly and honestly attend and serve those para church movements.
