MY FRIENDS, ARE WE READY FOR THE UNCHARTERED TERRITORY CHRIST IS PREPARING HIS CHILDREN FOR?

UNCHARTERED TERRITORY; is defined as a physical or nonphysical region or area not yet mapped, surveyed, or investigated: uncharted waters; the uncharted depths of the mind. My friends, each of us who are looking for Christ soon return, as we come into this final stretch to the finish line, must ask ourselves; are we in “UNCHARTERED TERRITORY?”

Are we moving far beyond all expectations in finishing up Christ work here on earth as we move into “UNCHARTERED TERRITORY” right before Christ soon return?” With the help of the Spirit of God, are we spreading the good news of Christ saving grace to our friends, family, love one’s, co-workers, and a world that has lost sight of the saving grace of our savior, in record pace?

Have we explored every concept and taken it to the depth of our finite minds in how best to finish up the work of Christ that is placed before us by the Spirit of God? My friends it has to be more then go into all the world and preached the gospel for God’s chosen generation “for such a time as this” we must be prepared to make extraordinary things happen for the glory of Christ.

We must constantly be asking the question to ourselves and to the one who did it all for our salvation; what must I do to be saved and enter into Gods pure and holy society as I assist in finishing up your mandate? “UNCHARTERED TERRITORY!” Yes, that must be where we are headed in our final stretch today.

Our desire, our goals, our passion, our focus, our faith, our endurance, our prayers, and the never ending study of God’s word, must never waver as we move beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary, as we keep heaven on our mind.

In addition, to finish this race, it will be very grueling, but we must never forget that our savior also went into UNCHARTERED TERRITORY at the cross but He was victorious as He paved the way for all who seek His kingdom through our faith and endurance.

Hudson Taylor, director of the China Inland Mission, often interviewed candidates for the mission field. On one occasion, he met with a group to determine their motivations for service. “And why do you wish to go as a foreign missionary?” he asked one. “I want to go because Christ has commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” was the reply.

Another said, “I want to go because millions are perishing without Christ.” Others gave different answers. Then Hudson Taylor said, “All of these motives, however good, will fail you in times of testing, trials, tribulations, and possible death. There is but one motive that will sustain you in trial and testing of your faith.

And that is a TERRITORY that very few seek throughout their lives and that is a passion to take the love of Christ to heights and depths never before seen in your lifetime. you must tell yourself THIS IS UNCHARTERED TERRITORY this is the place God has always been trying to take me too, through His love, but now by God’s grace we have arrive.

My friends we must go to places of UNCHARTERED TERRITORY within our minds and body’s we never thought we were capable of going, but because of the Good Shepherds method of preparation all we can say once we get there is, I’ve been here before, when my child decided the values he or she had been taught all of their life was not what they seeked  anymore, as they went out into the world, but now my child teaches bible study on Wednesday night.

Or when my wife or husband laid on their death bed and the doctors had given up hope, but today ten years later they are alive and well. I can go on and on, but the scenarios are the same Jesus saves physically mentally and spiritually and through our faith and endurance, He is preparing us now to go through the UNKNOWN and “UNCHARTERED TERRITORY’S” But remember my friends, our God “will never leave you nor forsake you.” as you move into this “UNCHARTERED TERRITORY” on your way to Promise land.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
