NECP: January 30, 2007 - Prayer Link #272 Jeff Marks writes: Yesterday I gave a short message to the New England Alliance, a group of people seeking God for transformation in New England. It was on the book of Joel. This morning, the phrase “Rend your hearts and not your garments” began to really reverberate within me. The Lord was asking me: “Is your heart rent?
