We Need To Know God's Instructions For This Hour!

We need to know God in such an intimate manner that He can give us the specific instructions that we need for this hour. Now is the time to pray and seek Him for individual direction and instructions for the Body of Christ. We cannot afford to delay or be negligent in this task. There is far too much at stake. The salvation of those we love and influence is at risk. How shall we escape if we neglect this great salvation. Time is short! Our deliverance is at hand!

Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”

We continue to fight the battle between the flesh and the spirit. However, if we are to be successful for God we must position ourselves where we can hear and receive His counsel. I hear the chatter, chatter, chatter of the diversions of this life. We must cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ that He will empower us to stay focused on His plan. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we must quiet the diversions!

We live in the most self-absorbed society in my life time. And when we are so self-focused, we can miss the greater plan that God has for us. If we are always focused on I, me, and mine, it is difficult for us to understand the needs of those around us. Our role in God's plan is to affect our world for the cause of Christ. When I am focused on the here and now, the day to day issues in my life, it pushes my spiritual connection farther away. If my attention is given fully to the pain in my body, the issues of my relationships and the responsibilities of daily care and provision for my family, then there is little room for activity in the spirit realm. That is why the Lord invites us to cast all our concerns on Him.

1 Peter 5:6, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. In verse 7, the word for “care” in the Greek is “mer'-im-nah” which mean “anxiety” and it comes from the word “mer-id'-zo” which means “to divide or separate into pieces (through the idea of distraction).” Why do we experience so much anxiety? Because we have allowed the enemy to divide our attention into so many separate pieces we become overwhelmed. The word for “careth” in the Greek is “mel'-o” which means “to care about.” It is a verb which means it is an action word. Jesus actively cares for you and will intervene in our daily lives if we will allow Him to walk with us.

What the scriptures teach and what Jesus taught is that our physical world and our spiritual world are indisputably connected together. Activity in the physical realm affects activity in the spiritual and vis versa. Jesus understands our conflict and He wants to be part of our daily struggles. In the person of the Holy Ghost, He has become our provider, our comfort, our deliver, our healer and everything else that we need. Our walk with Christ is not a separate part of our journey in life. When we try to separate the two worlds we create difficulty for ourselves.

The world around us can be overwhelming at times, especially in the current state of world affairs. Many questions flood our minds as to what may happen next. If we focus on current events alone, we will become depressed, oppressed, discouraged and defeated. But when we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how these events fit into prophecy and the end times, the uncertainty of our future is eliminated. We can move into a relationship with Christ where the spirit and physical realms connect in the prefect plan of God.

Write the vision and make it plain so that he who reads it may run with it. It is crucial that the message be shared, but how can I best accomplish this task? Ask the Lord to open doors to the venues of His choice and desire. Make a life long commitment! Lord show me the way and I will walk therein. You lead and I will follow without question!
