“Raising Up an End-Time Prophetic Company”
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” Joel 2:28-29
The 22nd National Prayer Gathering (NPG) held last April 12-15 at the cavernous Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City was the most powerful and prophetic of all NPGs ever in the Intercessors for the Philippines’ (IFP) 22 years of existence! A record setting 12,000 people jam-packed the huge Astrodome worshipping, praying, interceding and enthusiastically listening to the prophetic messages by delivered by three anointed prophets of God namely Bro. Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj and Bro. Vincent Selvakumar (both from India) and Pastor Neville Johnson (Australia). These three prophets delivered powerful messages proclaiming God’s marvelous prophetic words to the Philippine church and nation that unveiled to the multitudes gathered there that the Lord would continue to protect the nation from natural calamities as the churches would be vigilant in their prayers and intercession for the nation.
The Lord would also transform the Philippines in all aspects of her existence as a nation and a people and would be a showpiece of God’s amazing grace and mercy to many nations of the world especially in Asia. As the Lord would protect and preserve us from natural calamities such as destructive earthquakes and tsunamis, the nation will be healed, restored and begin to prosper. The glory of the Lord would be poured out upon the church and eventually, the whole nation in such a powerful way that the whole world would look at our nation and be amazed. Millions of Filipinos will come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! We would then be able to fulfill our calling as a missionary-sending nation to Asia and the rest of the world!
A special focus of the prophecies was given to the young people of the land. Bro. Sadhu, Bro. Vincent and Pastor Neville, over and over again prophesied that the Lord is setting apart the children and the young people of the land to walk in a special calling as prophetic generation that shall eventually fulfill the great mission call of the nation. A great altar call was given by Bro. Sadhu at one point in the conference some 7,000 young people who were present there. Much weeping and cries of dedication filled the Astrodome as they come in front and knelt down before God to consecrate themselves for the extremely important role that they will fulfill in the end time harvest. The Holy Spirit filled and touched every one of God’s people who came charging them with a new strength and mighty anointing of the Lord!
It was the best NPG ever held as the Lord laid the foundation for the revival and transformation of the nation. A new season has indeed come to the nation. A new season for the Lord’s mighty work as the day of the Lord’s coming draw to a climactic consummation. Bro. Sadhu spoke about preparing the church for a mighty visitation of the Lord-how the church must walk in holiness and righteousness with much prayers, intercession and supplication to prepare the way of the Lord. Pastor Neville spoke on how the believers can cultivate a walk with God that will enable them to enter the spiritual realm that can give the church eyes to see and ears to hear and such powerful spiritual experiences that shall enable her to walk in victory and effectively meet the challenges of the Last Days. Bro. Vincent painted a prophetic picture of the End Time scenario that is now here and will increase in intensity both in terms of great darkness on one hand and increasing intensity of God’s glory on the other hand.
Bishop “Kuya” Dan A. Balais, the CLSF Senior Pastor and the IFP National Chairman presided over the program of the Prayer Gathering, opening up the conference laying down the foundation defining the timely theme of the 22nd NPG which was: “Raising Up An End Time Prophetic Company”. Ate Nona, the IFP National Director and the IFP Board presided over the IFP Coordinators consultation, which took place every morning from April 18-20, 2011. Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva also spoke outlining the character that is needed to prepare each one to receive the prophetic anointing. Bro. Wyden King and Pastor Ed de Guzman gave the messages for the IFP Coordinators consultation in the morning sessions. The 22nd NPG was made more significant by the presence of many evangelical bishops such as Bishop Ef Tendero, denominational heads and ministry leaders for the first time again in many years. Indeed, this is a powerful sign of the new spirit of unity that has been birthed since the 2010 proclamation of the Year of Jubilees for the nation.
A new season has indeed come! A new generation of prophetic company has been anointed and ushered in to the nation preparing the church and the Filipino people for an open heavens in their pursuit of God’s prophetic agenda for the Last Days to prepare the Bride of Christ, reap the End Time Harvest and usher in the second coming of the Lord!

Praise God for this great work that has begun. Those 3 Prophets are really some of God’s powerful end time ministers. I pray that we will continue to heed to what the Lord is saying to His people.
