"GOD IS LOOKING FOR VESSELS TO MANIFEST HIS SON IN...."
1 John says, walk as Jesus walked....
Revelation states "The Spirit and the Bride Say Come"
We are in a time in which the Holy Spirit desperately needs to emblazen the hearts of the true Church of Jesus Christ.
We are without a doubt in a crisis hour in the earth. The Knowledge of the Holy is lost amongst men. The Holiness and Fear of Christ is lost even amongst the churches of the earth. The Fire of the Holy Spirit being poured out is indeed a rare and mysterious event in the Northern Hemisphere.
A Spirit of rebelliousness, idolatry, and an AntiChrist Spirit truly is thriving in the earth.
This can be seen through the cultural destruction of the American people. Soldiers are simply a mirror image of American culture at large. It is true that our Soldiers worship at the thrones of immoral fornication, alcoholism, substance abuse and the worship of self. Many suffer from strife, and are tormented on a daily basis in their home lives for many choices of ill report that they choose to make, some of them suffer and only mirror what they lived through or were taught from living amongst broken families, coming from broken lives.
This brokenness in the Army Soldier is simply a mirror of the brokenness of our American culture. We are a people, both Soldier and Civilian who are left sleeping. This can been seen both in the focus and attendance of the American Church and the Soldier's Chapel.
Two Great Questions are being asked in this hour:
1) How do we respond when we are asked by Christ, as He asked his disciples "Who Do You Say That I Am?" This is not a flighty question but a questions that bears the answer of the eternal markings left upon our inner man. This question, when answered in the stillness of a contemplative heart, might reveal our true stance before Christ
2) Will We Be Offended By The Righteous Judgement of Christ? On that day, when Christ returns, will we have the fortification in our spirit that stands in agreement with an all Righteous, Loving, and Holy God? Or will we shout to the Mountains to hide us from the overwhelming nature of his coming wrath? Will we be offended and shout at God, "HOW DARE YOU?" or will we stand in agreement with Christ, not with words, but with the inward stance of our spirit towards God?
These two questions, when asked in an honest manner will reveal our true nature before Christ.
May our answers not be found wanting when Christ himself asks us, and his return prompts an overwhelming response from us...
Joel 2 says: "I Will Pour Out My Spirit On All Flesh And Your Sons and Daughters will Prophecy"
May It Be So Lord Jesus!
The Spirit and the Bride Say "Come!"
JESUS!!! Have Mercy On America!!!! Have Mercy On The American Soldier!!!!!
I Leave You With This Lengthy, but Powerful Quote:
" We need the Word of the Lord in this hour. We need God to show up on our city, we don't need a little more in our ministrires, we don't need a little bit more in our churches, we don't need a little bit more in our help groups, we don't need just a little bit more, we need something from another age. We need the spirit of God to come and give life to the Word of God. God is going to entrust His gospel to a generation. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 2, I thank God that I have been approved to be entrusted with the Gospel, A laborer entrusted with the gospel, I believe, it is my own conviction that we have treated the entrusting of the Word of God as a light thing. In Matthew 9, Jesus says, pray that the Lord will raise up laborers to send into the harvest, to send out laborers. I don't believe a laborer is someone who signs up for a trip. A laborer is someone who has wrestled in the secret place and who has been entrusted with something from Heaven, in the wilderness of time, in the wilderness the Lord is going to entrust a generation in the place of prayer, the place of fasting, the place of simplicity, God is going to entrust the Gospel." God is going to do it, but we need a rude awakening. There are multitudes of transformed communities all over the world and not one of them is in North America. Not one of them is in a society where we have more schools, more seminaries, more churches on every corner, more ministries in every city, more outreaches, more food pantries, more of this and more of that. What is this saying if we aren't seeing transformed communities? What is this saying if crack addicts aren't being delivered, what is this saying if prostitutes aren't being delivered? What is this saying if a sick person can't get healed? What is this saying?? It is saying that the Word of the Lord is absent. I'm afraid that just as the man came to the disciples and they couldn't heal him, society is bringing their worst to the church and the church can't cure them. The church has a nice little word and a nice little help group but its not delivering the problem, the problems are just getting worse, we try to close our eyes, and act like its not going on. We try to act like society all around us and the bankruptcy of the church isn't real. And I'm telling you I believe Jesus is saying, Church open your eyes and look, come to terms with our bankruptcy. That's the buying of gold in Revelation 3, Jesus didn't condemn them for being naked, He said, see that your naked, see that your poor, see that your wretched, so that you can buy gold. If we begin to understand where we are at, We don't have this kind of power, this kind of love that will set a generation free. Where do we go then? It's the place that Jesus always set up, it's Luke 24:49. Behold I'm sending the promise, all that I ask is that you tarry in the city until you have recieved power from on high. In Acts 1, he said you shall be witnesses to me all throughout the earth....." Corey Russell-- International House of Prayer, Kansas City, Mo.
