A Shift in Leadership

Foreword By Bishop Nicolas Duncan-Williams

here is a shifting in the spirit, and the body of Christ is in a time of crucial transition. If the potential leaders in the body of Christ today are going to make the impact expected of them by God, we must become prophetically compliant to what God is saying in the now. My dear friend, Apostle John Eckhardt has received a strong prophetic word from God for the present leadership in the Church, worldwide. Friend, I believe that the cloud has shifted, and there will come sudden changes in leadership within the body of Christ, worldwide. This is why this publication by Apostle Eckhardt is so strategic and crucial. T We must realize that change is of the essence. In Genesis, God clearly told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, yet later told him not to touch the lad. Did God change His mind? No. God spoke a word to Abraham for a specific time and purpose, and He spoke another timely word to Abraham for another purpose. God didn't want Isaac; He wanted Abraham's heart. He is the same God that told David to ambush the Philistines in one instance and later instructed David not to go after them, but rather to change the strategy. God in one instance told the prophet Elijah to go to the brook and drink and be fed by ravens. In another instance, He told him to go to the widow of Zarephath and there you will be sustained. What am I saying?
