Revelation
3:8, “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and
hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make
them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,
but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy
feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept
the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that
dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which
thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
God has
set the stage for His final events. Are we willing to sacrifice our
time and energy to bring a Spiritual Awakening and a breaking forth
of the Light of God? Are we willing to commit ourselves to the work of Christ so that we can have Restoration in our local churches and in our
families?
Satan is
angry because the Children of God would dare to rise up against him.
He is releasing the powers of darkness in every public and private venue. But, Satan, the Blood of Jesus is against you! 1
John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out
into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the
world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the
world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of
truth, and the spirit of error.”
The Body
of Christ must rise up in the power and authority of Jesus Christ and
proclaim victory in Jesus Name. Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord
GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good
tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound;” Isaiah 61:1. He gave the same power to the
Church in Matthew 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
We are
challenged to receive the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in the
person of the Holy Spirit and to GO and bind up the brokenhearted,
bring liberty to the captives, open the prisons to them that are
bound. “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can
shut it...” Go and go in the power of Jesus Name! Amen!
