A PASTOR’s WIFE’s LETTER  -Trish Woelk
Since the early days of my Christianity, I have been praying for revival.    Coming into the Kingdom at the end of the Charismatic Movement in l975, I went to Aglow and Full Gospel meetings, but the glory had departed and religion, politics and factions were moving in.  My longing for the presence of the Lord was fed by writings and biographies of revivalists.    Studying Evans and Finney made my heart ache for the church. She was being overtaken by her enemies, the gods of this world. Ten years ago, while studying the 33rd chapter of Exodus, the Lord began showing me the state of the church.    Exodus 33:3- “Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst…”    I saw the church. No cloud. No pillar of fire. No Presence.  No manifestation. No miracles, signs, or wonders. He was not with us.

We were wandering around in the desert, being over- taken by our enemies. There was a terrible shallowness everywhere. We said things about Jesus that were blasphemous: “Just ask Him into your heart and you will be saved”. Unbelief was common: “Can you really know if you are saved?” The most simple teachings of the Bible –  repentance, holiness, sacrifice, faith, love, were ignored or misunderstood. Almost the entire church followed denominational hierarchies who used sheep, rather than caring for them.     Propagation was rare, something we studied, like math. Righteousness, peace, and joy? Testimonies? Baptisms? He was not with us.
“…lest I consume you on the way for you are a stiff- necked people.”One who is stiff-necked is one whose vision is restricted. Eventually, left untreated, the stiff-necked person´s head will not be able to turn.    Stubbornly holding to a form, the Institutional Church refuses to admit His glory has departed. Stiff-necked,  she insists on carrying an ark that does not give evidence of His presence. Declaring she is a place of covering and protection, she is being overrun by her enemy.    Insisting she is the place of nurture, she is using hungry baby lambs to feed herself. Declaring herself a place of freedom, she uses the Bible to bind sheep to herself.  She is led by a board of elders rather than a pillar of fire, and she is ruled by a pastor, rather than a King. “Bring them in so they can be saved!” she cries, while her sheep trudge through the desert full of unbelief, fear and timidity, unforgiveness and bitterness, ambition, vanity and sexual impurity, strife. Stiffly, with no more passion than the building she so proudly meets in, she drives her congregation through the motions of sustaining “church life”, which generally consists of a schedule (somehow thought to be hallowed) of weekly meetings…    Tragically, her differentiation from the world is not always discernible. She is stiff-necked, refusing to admit what everyone knows but her – her strength is in her numbers and her money, not her God.   Mike & Trish Woelk pastored for years in Pentecostal churches. They are still very active for God and are still recognized leaders among-st the Christians .   Rev. 3:12-22

Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection?  July 30, 2021       With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.      By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.
