John
9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work.”
There
were many distractions for Christ’s disciples following His death. They must
have been in a state of spiritual and emotional distress. The Church was a
total wreck with the leaders scattered for fear of their own lives. Try to put
yourself in their places. How would you feel if the same thing happen to you? I
can think of a few: betrayed, fearful, denial, deserted, hopeless, defeated,
disbelief, anger and the list could go on. The main point being that they had
to recover from all these feelings and experiences because they had a mission
to finish.
We
can easily be distracted from our mission by the events happening around us
each day. But, we must continue to be focused on what God is speaking to us and
to the Body of Christ. God is calling us to take back what belongs to Him. It
is time to take back our nation, our schools, our churches, our families and
our children. We have allowed the covering or mantle of the Holy Spirit to
slowly erode and thereby give access to the spirit of darkness in each of these
areas of our lives.
Our
nation and our schools were once covered by prayer, seeking God’s intervention
into the affairs of state and the administration of the education of our
children. Somewhere along the line we have let down the shield of prayer. It
was not an event that happened quickly but slowly and methodically the spirit
of darkness has crept into the places that the Spirit of Light ought to be
thriving.
So
many of our churches have become financial institutions rather than houses of
prayer. The Holy Spirit is calling us back to our knees for a fresh anointing
of Pentecostal power. That kind of power will only come through intercessory
prayer born out of the heart of God and instituted through the Holy Spirit as
He seeks the will of God through us.
Our families are suffering because of a lack of Holy Ghost leadership in the family structure. We are losing our children because the Spirit of God is not sufficiently modeled and expressed in the family, in our churches, in our schools and in the leadership of our nation. God is calling us back to the Biblical structure of the family which directly or indirectly affects every other aspect of our lives. God wants to change all this and all he asks it that we agree with Him and join with Him. He is our answer! How will we respond? The Day Is Coming To A Close and we must finish His work! (continued)
