Published by “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”- 2 Peter 3:9
Staring through the eyes of my Father I see a world that is dying yet living, living but yet dying, alive yet dead,
Some are lost souls, some children of disobedience, some victims of satan’s lust they hate us but they need us because we know the way to eternal life and Jesus was sent to resurrect the dead.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”-Hebrews 11:1
I proclaim to the children of God nothing is impossible for our Father; he is not afraid to bleed for what we must achieve, so we must believe in his dream to succeed.
We must believe that we are children that once walked on water, we must believe that we once called fire down from heaven; we must believe that we are children, who once drank water from a rock when it poured out,
We must believe that we are children who once parted the red sea, children who raised men from the dead, we must believe that we were children that didn’t get burned in the fiery furnace, children who slew giants, children that seen the mouth of lions shut in a lions den, children who seen sight return to the blind, when vipers bit us we shook them off into the fire this is our history have faith today there is no need to doubt.
We are called to be witnesses to all men, all nations, going to every sewer, gutter, dope house, hospital, prison, shelter, gang blocks, and neighborhoods and be the light that shines I seen a beautiful tree grow from the concrete,
I seen people, pimps, murderers, blasphemers, hypocrites, fornicators, liars, and every manner of wicked man under the sun. My God calls us to go out to all men including Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah witnesses, can all come and lay at the foot of the tree and say I forsake my former life and accept you Almighty God be merciful to me.
Oh be merciful unto me my God for I am a sinner God have mercy on me.
I am the branch and Jesus is the tree and God is the gardener that watches over me.
Take heed o ye children of God for Jesus said in Luke 13:18-19
“Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”
So know that the fowls of the air, the hypocrites, the deceivers, the false teachers, will come and try to hinder, will try to sneak in and be apart of the tree but they are visible to God. They come without love in their hearts, slick talkers, forever asking questions for personal gain never seeking the edifying of the body of Christ, concerned with being right rather than having compassion.
Fowls of the air more concerned about doctrine than the children of God neglecting to lead sinners to salvation and when they hate you what should be your reaction?
Love them, even though they are full of words, great swelling prayers that are only prayed to be heard the fowls of the air behold the vision of the church and begin to mock.
Fear not for the mighty black snakes the Lord himself shall move them out of the way he shall remove the stumbling blocks.
Jesus said in Luke 14:28
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
It’s not the money, it’s the heart of the people, and it’s their will to witness the gospel. It’s not the money it’s the heart of the missionaries, mothers, deacons, and elders, it’s their willingness to be held accountable for their actions. It’s not the money it’s the willingness of the people to nurture and serve. It’s not the money but it depends on the body of Christ being on fire enough to finish it.
Count the cost humble ourselves before God the fruit of our labor is the New Jerusalem, tell me what the vision is.
Reaching the unreached and loving the unloved, witnessing the gospel, preaching against sin until our dying day, offering to a lost world a chance to find themselves in Christ Jesus, a light that shines in a dark world that’s what the vision is.
How high have we raised our thermometers in the spirit, how high will we raise them tomorrow and next year. My prayer is none look back and turn into a pillar of salt, none run in fear and be swallowed whole by a great fish, none will disobey and see the promised land but be buried outside the gates, that none will lie to the Holy Ghost and drop dead keep on running your to close.
Don’t be deceived by numbers for God will take 11 obedient servants any day over 12 servants and one be disobedient. He will take 8 righteous over millions of wicked people and save them only from the flood. He can take five fish and two loaves of bread and feed thousands with leftovers; The tares will come but God will do the separating when the grass is cut the snakes will show in times like these we will see who is faithful.
“And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”-Mark 12:42-44
Jesus said in Luke 17:19-21
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Church we are the future, our children will be the leaders of this world, they will fight incredible wars, and we all have a kingdom to build.
In a city of sin, in a community without answers, a place that has lost hope; out of the ashes shall arise a city set on a hill.
Who shall be the laborers of the harvest? Who can take the babies and raise them in the way they should grow? Can God count on me and you?
great work!
