Gas prices are soaring, but wait, what gas?! In some places, gas is scarce. Stock markets are taking a nose dive and our country is waging a war for God only knows what that seems to have no end.
Tell me, what are we to do in these perilous times?
Some might suggest that we flee to another country, others have reason to believe that the answer is in going to the polls and pushing the right button.
Don't get me wrong, I know who I would like to vote for in hopes that it would make a change for the better.
But true hope and trust belongs to Jesus Christ. While the world is in a chaotic rut and our economy dwindles out of control, we can rest assure that we can have peace in the midst of the storm.
Have you ever walked into a church anxious and hungry with an expectancy to hear the word of God that would minister to all of us in time to remind us that we are yet victorious because God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. And when he hung on the cross and mumbled the words, "It is finished" that was meant that the cause that He came for was already taken care of.
John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
It's time to take action on our knees to pray for a release of the Holy Spirit upon the church to empower us to reach out to those that are lost.
Every few seconds people are dying and don't even know that there is a God who loves them enough that He sent His only son to die on the cross and whatever sin they are in the midst of and are bound by, they no longer have to be bound by it.
See, most people continue in their sin and wish they had a way out. But many don't know that God has prepared a way of escape.
(1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.)
Time is out for playing church if you are not honoring God or teaching people how to walk in victory each and every day through the Word of God.
We need to pray!!! We need to pray!!!
I don't want to hear about the kind of car you drive, how many houses you have, how many people you have in your social ring... I want to know how I can walk in Victory in my life, I want to know how I can have peace in the midst of the storm, I want to know how to witness the Love of Jesus Christ to those that don't know Him, and all the things that I'm entitled to as a result of totally submitting myself to the will of God.
We need to get to the point where man doesn't matter. Please don't feed me this emotionally charged garbage that doesn't mean a hill of beans to me or my salvation. Either stand up and accept the mandate for the calling on your life or step down before you ruin the souls of people who need to know the Lord for themselves in a real way.
Let's pray for those pastors, preachers, teachers and leaders that they will develop a deeper walk with the Lord and that they will have more a desire to see souls get saved.
It's time for a CHANGE within the body of Christ. The world cannot change until the most powerful institution in the world makes a change first. It's until then that we can make an effective impact on the world.
