The UPCI Needs a Healer

Shocked silence filled the conference when the announcement was made….

The resolution passed….

Those there, will never forget the sudden vacuum….

Time only will tell what really happened in that moment….

Some declare Ichabod…..

Others Revival….

I personally feel our movement was swept with a spirit of confusion….

We all have been confused since the vote….

We have all grieved….

However….

Such a decision will not be without consequence….

The consequence may well be more painful than any really understood….

Unity has been called for….

Global Impact desired….

But now division is greater than ever….

Now we hear of a great convocation in Tulsa…..

Great men from the east coast are leaving….

Great men from the west are leaving….

Great men from the south as well….

Great men from all over…..

Leaving……

Will the UPCI loose 100 ….500….1000….

Or more….

Now, many men who favored the resolution realize that those leaving had promised to do so before the vote….

The leavers are only keeping promises….

I have not heard from any who regret voting No…

I have heard from many who regret voting Yes…

“If we had only known”, one said an hour ago….

Brethren it appears there will be a major exodus…..

Sadly all will suffer…

I have come to a new conclusion today…

We need a healer…

Blessed are the peacemakers….

The United Pentecostal Church Needs A Healer….

Brethren….

Some are saying the 2000 seat convention center in Tulsa will not be large enough…

What if such predictions are true and we see over 1000 UPCI credentialed men make some sort of commitment to leave….

The UPCI will suffer greatly….

The United Pentecostal Church Needs A Healer….

If indeed unity is a mandate….

Then should not unity come from World Evangelism Center….

Indeed the United Pentecostal Church Needs A Healer….

General Superintendent Haney….

Lead the way to healing….

Go to Tulsa and tell the brethren you will lead the charge in reversing Tulsa’s decision….

Pastor Mangun….

Use your platform this year at Because of the Times to help heal the UPCI….

Without a healer….

We are divided and weakened….

Two organizations will never be united….

Rather both….

Untied….

The United Pentecostal Church Needs A Healer….

Is there a voice….

Is there a man …..

Who can stand and serve as healer….

Somewhere within the UPCI is a man with a voice who is able to help bring healing….

Will the leadership come from WEC….

The General Superintendent….

The General Secretary….

Alexandria….

Indianapolis….

Home or Foreign Missions….

Indeed the UPCI must have a healer from within….

The healing will not come from those convening in Tulsa….

The course they choose was selected for them….

Brethren….

The United Pentecostal Church International Needs a Healer….

So we need to limit how people can spread the gospel in order to have healing and unity? I don't think so. I think that people need to stay in and allow their neighbor to do what they feel is the best way to spread the gospel and show the world that christians can stand in unity as brothers even when we don't agree every issue.

Bro. Smith.......

I'm wondering. What do you think a man could do to bring about "healing" at this point. Hundreds have left in the past over resolutions that won a yes or no vote. The fracture was never repaired -- not even when apologies were issued by highly respected men and leaders.

So, I'm wondering ....... what do you think could be said or done to repair any fracture damage done as a result of the implementation of Res. 4?

It's certainly interesting to sit where I'm at and read and hear all the comments being made.

I know enough to know that the "issue" isn't always necessarily the issue. Certainly not all of it anyhow.

This year was the first time legalism was challenged. Legalism loses every challenge because it is based on faulty premises. The same legalistic spirit who can scare the "hell" out of people could not use the same intimidation tactics with their peers. The moderates realized no matter what they did, the legalists would not be satisfied until every opinion contrary to theirs was destroyed.
