Scripture for the Day (August 18, 2017)
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. (John 4:35)
Everything we are hearing from the Holy Spirit, from the Word of God, and from other ministers of the Gospel is that it’s time for the Church of Jesus Christ to wake up and stand up. It is time to GO into the highways and byways. It is time to carry water to the dry and barren places. It is time for revival and a new awakening. It is harvest time and the fields are white for harvest but the laborers are few.
We are living in a time where darkness and gross darkness covers the earth. Christians are getting their heads cut off in foreign lands due to their belief in Jesus. Our own society is being torn apart by hatred and violence. The respect for authority and the rule of law is deteriorating in front of very our own eyes.
What’s the answer? The answer is JESUS! We have the answer, but we have for the most part succumbed to fear and have been silenced by the enemy. One of our top Generals recently reported that we were losing the battle in Afghanistan. Well, guess what. We are also losing a bigger battle than that. We are losing the battle for the heart and soul of the United States of America.
My wife and I have committed ourselves and this ministry to encouraging the Church of Jesus Christ to wake up. It only takes a small spark to start a fire. We believe that we are on the verge of a great revival. It is time to pray and repent for this nation as Nehemiah did for his nation.
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned. (Nehemiah 1:6)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Where sin abounds, grace and mercy does much more abound. I don’t recall a time when God has spoken to us so plainly and put so much Word in us. We are full to the brim with His fire and glory. It is not a question anymore on whether or not we pour it out. The only question is where and when.
We recently mailed ministry packets to many churches in our general area introducing ourselves. Most of our ministry has been in other states so they don’t know us. We just know we cannot keep all that God has given us bottled up inside. We have to GO and give out! It’s like a fire shut up in our bones and we will give it out somewhere. You need to do the same thing. It may not be preaching to a church. It may be a neighbor, a friend, a business acquaintance, a stranger on the street or in the grocery store. We have this treasure in earthen vessels for one reason and that reason is to give it away.
It’s time to GO Church! Today is the day of salvation! Now is the time! Your country, and the lost souls that are out there searching for an answer are calling you. If you are a born-again believer you have been equipped to enter the battle. You have been drafted by God into His Army of Believers. Just remember, love never fails. Sticks and stones are not the answer. Jesus is the answer. He is the way, the truth and the life. We just have a lot of people out there that don’t know Him. That’s our job. That’s our battle, and at the present time we are losing that battle. It is time to WAKE UP, STAND UP, and GO!!!!!!!
