The Caurtald Theatre in Mutare will today resemble Bethesda in Jerusalem where influential prophet, Jay Israel, of The Light World Ministries is set to perform miracles and “extreme prophecies".
Affectionately known as Prophet Israel, the man of cloth recently launched an assembly in the mountainous city and has returned to meet both new and old believers through his Back to Christ Movement.
Today’s service is dubbed: Strictly Prophetic Day.
In a recent interview, Israel said the event would change the lives of many people.
“It will be a service of giving direction to people through the prophecies. People are living in confusion of different things,” said Israel.
“Some are confused about their careers, marriage, relationships, which business to do and so forth. This service will be one of a kind where it will be strictly prophetic to give direction to people. It is the day for believers to experience the Glory of God through prophecies and miracles, Saturday is the day.”
