To All Friends of Lionheart/ The Prayer Furnace,
The Lord is speaking clearly and many mature prophetic voices have confirmed it: the Body of Christ is heading into a season like never before, and it is nearly upon us. The Lord has spoken to us specifically at Lionheart for many months that we should be prepared for big changes starting in September this year. Therefore, with this in mind, we are taking a Sabbath as a ministry for the next four weeks starting today.
Much like the nation of Israel in Joshua 5, the Lord often requires His people to renew the covenant with Him before He releases us to take the next step of His plan. While the sign of the old covenant was circumcision, the sign of the new covenant is the Cross. To us this means that the Lord is calling us as a ministry and body to take time out of our normal schedule to draw near to Him with the purpose of letting the Holy Spirit search us, try us and see if there be any wicked way in us (Psalm 139:23-24). It is a time to repent of and seek cleansing from any outstanding sins, offenses, etc. the Lord brings to our attention.
All are welcome to participate in this Sabbath, but please note that we will be adjusting our schedule and changing some of our services from now until Sunday, September 4th. The following is a short summary of changes:
The Prayer Furnace: The Sabbath schedule of the Prayer Furnace will be Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, until Tuesday, September 6th (Tuesdays and Fridays the building will remain open until the end of each service) when it will return to the current schedule. We will be closed Monday, September 5th for Labor Day. During this time, all of our regular watches will be suspended so that our staff can seek the Lord. We will play instrumental CDs in the sanctuary to keep a devotional atmosphere.
Lionheart Services: Lionheart Restoration Ministries will offer three services of worship and teaching for the next four weeks: Sunday mornings at 10:00am, Tuesday nights at 7:00pm, and Friday nights at 7:00pm. The teaching during this time will mainly focus on shoring up the foundations of spiritual life.
It is our hope that by allowing the Cross to work deeper in us during this special time, we will be better prepared to establish the Kingdom of God in the coming season.

Grace and peace,
Mike McClung, Director of Lionheart Restoration Ministries/ The Prayer Furnace of East TN
