The
headlines in every news outlet and on every media platform is of gloom and
doom. For the last three years the world has suffered an obnoxious and
murderous psychological attack upon its populations by the rulers of the
darkness and the hidden agenda of fear: and it is not going to stop yet.
A number of people were discussing
with me just yesterday about how the world has become very dark, and hope seems
to be all but gone. It is true of course that the media thrive on bad news, but
this current level of anxiety and hopelessness has been deliberately escalated
by the puppet media flooding its readers with brain-washing negative disinformation.
Wherever you look, whatever you
watch or listen to, it is either of a depressing nature, of violence, fear, or
worthless stupidity. Films are filled with hate, murder, demons and devils,
viruses and worldwide disasters, all feeding people's minds with things that
destroy life rather than elevate it.
If you chew on poison long enough
you will become sick and die from within.
Right now we need a band, an army,
of blood-washed, Spirit-filled Warriors who know nothing else except to preach
the gospel of Jesus Christ to this fast-dying age we find ourselves in.
Sadly, most believers (church
people and pastors), are just as worried and anxious as the rest of the world
about their houses, their job, their income, and their future dreams and
aspirations. They are preoccupied with the things of this world which are soon
to pass away, and have no real concern or passion for the work of evangelism and
reaching the great multitudes of people lost in sin and bewilderment, headed
for an eternal hell.
BUT somewhere out there are some special souls who have no
love for this world, and who long to see God's kingdom come with power and
glory. They may be alone and wondering what on earth 'church' is all about
these days, and are utterly disillusioned with all the artificiality of a
plastic religion that holds no power and no authority. They see the darkness
spreading throughout society at a rate never seen before, while congregations
sit in their sanitized buildings singing little ditties, with the band prancing
around on the platform supposing that they know God and can lead the people
into his presence.
To such men and women out there
who are sold-out to the cause of Christ Jesus, no matter what age you may be, a
word comes from the throne telling you that NOW IS THE TIME to arise [get
yourselves up] and shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is
risen upon you, 'for the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross [thick,
heavy] darkness shall descend upon the people:
BUT the LORD shall arise upon you [in glorious light and
manifestation], and his glory [his power, his light, his honour, and his
radiant presence] shall be seen upon you. And the heathen shall shall
come to your light, and kings [rulers, executives, leaders, politicians,
business people] shall come to your rising [your rising up from doubt and fear,
from obscurity, from unbelief and despair, from sin and backsliding, from
impossibilities, and from being unknown or unwanted].
Revival does not start in the
church, neither is it (as some presume) a successful evangelistic campaign.
Revival is personal. It is when the dried-up servant of Christ, the backslidden
and careless believer, the discouraged and worldly pilgrim gets back into the
Word of God, back onto the path of truth, and puts away all the things that
hinder him from running the race and daring to do exploits in the name and
power of his God. It is when the love of God and the love of souls becomes his
number one passion and occupation of mind, heart, and actions.
You can sit there and do nothing,
and nothing is what you will get; or you can obey God, get yourself up, get
dressed in your spiritual uniform, and begin to shine for the glory of your
Lord and Saviour. Everything else will follow, as God will always, unfailingly,
honour those who honour him.
In the darkest night the light
shines the brightest. Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
