Romans
8:35, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it
is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as
sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.”
This
world has entered a new era. Something extraordinary is on the horizon, the
conclusion of former things and all things becoming new. We are poised at the
culmination of all things. We are standing at the door of the most earth-shaking event in human history. That is the soon appearing of the Son of God,
the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.
The
Holy Spirit is stirring within the hearts of believers creating anticipation
and expectation for a last great move of God. The Word of God promises that “I
will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:”
Joel 2:28. This prophecy was partially fulfilled in Acts 2:16, “But this is
that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the
last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams:” The purpose of this outpouring is to
cause mankind to realize their need of a Savior, to draw those who are willing
to salvation, and to bring the obedient into full fellowship with Jesus Christ.
God’s design is to use the Body of Christ to spread this message of the Gospel into all the world. He will provide the anointing and resources to complete this mission. The faithful and obedient will share in this victory! (continued)
