RUN WITH THE MESSAGE

The Lord is searching for those willing to carry the torch. He wants those without compromise who will exalt His name and let His light shine. He is looking for those willing to run with the vision of the gospel of the Kingdom. He yearns for those who will yield to Him and accept the grace that awaits anyone who says, “Yes.”

Who is called to this company? Anyone who is willing; you are called and I am called. Right now, the harvest is waiting to be plucked. Jesus said “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest?’ I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35). A key phrase in this passage is “open your eyes and look at the fields.” If you look for lost souls, you will find them. (“Light Belongs In The Darkness” / book by Patricia King)

GOD IS ABOUT TO MANIFEST HIMSELF IN GREAT POWER

“For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry” (Heb 10:37).
Yes, Jesus is coming back to catch away His waiting bride before too long. But hear what I have to say. I believe God is about to manifest Himself to this world in the most awesome display of power ever seen, heard, or experienced since the beginning of time.
God loves people. He loves saved people, lost people, backslidden people, hurting people, and addicted people. The Church at large is not ready for Christ’s return. The bride has been unfaithful to her true lover, and bridegroom. The church is living in sin and is not taking seriously the commands of God and has drifted far away from Him.

God loves His Church, and is about to manifest Himself to her in power never before experienced. He is going to shake her from her deep and deadly slumber. All who awaken will then soon be caught up in the air to meet the Lord in clouds of glory. The bride must repent of many sins before Jesus can, and will rapture her. Sin cannot enter heaven, and Jesus is calling His backslidden Church to return to Himself in love, and great grace.
Many will return with everlasting joy upon their heads, while some will justify their sins,
be lost and sink into every-lasting shame and contempt.

God is going to shake the very foundations of this earth and manifest His presence and power in such awesome ways to sinners, that many will be stunned by His mercy, healings, deliverances, and everlasting concern for their lives, as well as their souls.
These things are about to happen, and they are going to happen much sooner than we think.

AGREEMENT

“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”

There is authority and power in the prayer of agreement. The united actions of two (or more) people harmoniously working together have a greater total effect than the sum of their individual efforts. The psalmist speaks of God bestowing a blessing when brothers live together in faith and unity (Ps 133:1-3).
Jesus promises two positive results of the prayer of agreement: (1) the Father takes action in heaven on their request (v. 19), and (2) the presence of Jesus will be in their midst on earth (v. 20).
Agreement is so important in a church. To agree is to harmonize. The word translated agree is the word from which we derived the English word symphony. The word symphony implies a harmony occurring such as might be heard in a great symphonic orchestra. Imagine the delight upon hearing Handel’s Messiah. It is rapturous sound.
All instruments and players are under the synchronized direction of the conductor. Jesus is our conductor. As we love one another forgive one another and sacrifice our individual interests for the love of Christ and one another, we experience the beauty and harmony of heaven on earth.
