MY FRIENDS, YOUNG AND OLD, GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!!!
“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.” Joel 2:28-29 My friends God is seeking dedicated workers today to finish up his work.
But He will not give his power to someone who will only use it when they can fit it into their schedule or around their favorite TV program. We must seek this power as we eat his Word daily “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight……” Jer. 15:16 NIV) Their can be no fear or hesitation in what God is asking us to do for Him.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2Timothy 1:7 (NIV) He knocks at our hearts door daily, but are we listening, have our FOCUS been constantly on the things of this world and not on the presence of the Good Shepherd. “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NIV)
But it starts with Faith. Soon our Faith and God’s Spirit if you walk with Him Daily, will allow you to be the beneficiary of power like we have never experience before and it will take us beyond what we can imagine at this moment. A restoration, and revival will take place from within as God’s mandate to take the gospel to all the world is carried out.
But today the passion must exist to seek the showers of blessings from God’s Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of all sins even the “Socially Acceptable Sins,” and earnest heartfelt consecrated prayers to God, that the disciples prepared themselves for the Comforter that Christ had promise before He ascended to go be with his father and start his mediation on our behalf.
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7 (NIV) God is asking no less of His chosen generation who God is given the opportunity, and privilege to carry His torch across the finish line.
But there is still work to be finished, and souls to be saved. He waits with outstretched arms for us to say with Passion, “Not My Will Lord, But Thy Will Be Done”
But “Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. “the times of refreshing” to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” ( E.G.White)
Our Faith must be stretched to the limit. But if we fail at the start of this race we will never be given greater light To continue. But why should a child of God fail we look around, we see the world as it is today, and recognize that even Satan knows, and no one had to tell him. So why should a child of God who seeks God’s presence everyday not know that Christ is soon to come.
You know prophecy, you see signs of His coming each day. But you also know that he will come as a thief in the night “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. So my friends the “curtain is pulled back” it’s time, YOUNG AND OLD, GOD HAS A PLAN for each of you so please accept His call today.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
Speak Your Mind
