There is that and those things which we can do and the Lord EXPECTS us to do our part in those works, but the bigger things and the bigger steps only God can do. So in those dark times or in those times when we think and say, "What in the world are WE GOING TO DO" ? In those rough places, in those tough situations, and in those raging stormy seas, He that walked on the water and calmed the raging seas is TO BE CALLED UPON...With this in mind listen to the following.
Changing and healing and restoring America to the Lords way and light right now is not an easy work seeing how far society has drifted from Him and seeing the Left and their ungodly anti Christians agenda every where. But let us remember this. Israel had not heard from heaven for around four hundred years. Religion was everywhere, but seldom any real form of relationship with God was seen. It was a whole lot of religious ceremony going on but without passionate love for God that makes real faith HOT. Things in Israel was SO SPIRITUALLY DRY. Just a few had their ears and their hearts PLUGGED in and in tune with heaven IN THOSE DAYS. Isaiah fore told of those times saying, When Christ visited Israel, none were righteous. Most were gone astray. None were seeking God with their whole heart. They were giving the Lord the scraps, the leftovers of their energies, passion, and time. Friends, thats when SALT loses its calling and preserving strength and power.
The people of Israel, their hearts had left the true way of the Lord to do their own religious desires and their hearts became like stone.....No one was seeking God....Half hearted devotion to the Lord was everywhere. Jesus said, THESE PEOPLE honor me in lip service only, but their hearts are far from Me. It seemed to have become a religion and a way that was mostly about them and very little ABOUT HIM (The Lord). It was more of what they wanted to do and less and less of what the Lord wanted them to do. They taught man made up religious doctrine and not the true Word of God.....But guess what ? In that dark and spiritually dry time in Israel, it was in that famine of the true Word of God that God sent His GREATEST LIGHT EVER to the world beyond all the worlds yesterdays including far above Moses' grace and light.
First came John the baptist, the greatest man ever born from a woman and the greatest prophet ever given from God to preach the coming of the Lord was at hand . He was THE VOICE of the One crying in the wilderness outside the norm of religious tradition in Israel to prepare the entrance and the way for Lord to visit His People FACE TO FACE IN ISRAEL.... And then God CONFIRMED what John prayed and preached in that wilderness by sending the One that John preached of saying, "There is coming One after me who sandals I am not worthy to untie. I baptize you with water, but He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. He is desired far above me for He existed way before me"....And GOD GAVE TO THE WORLD HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AND HIS OWN MARVELOUS LIGHT. He that was sitting on the throne with the Father, was now HIMSELF in the heart of Christ. He was the Son of God by whom God made the worlds. Friend that is BRIGHT LIGHT, even the BRIGHTEST LIGHT POSSIBLE TO MAN. The Lord, the Creator had become a man in Israel on earth endued with Gods GREATEST MANIFESTED PRESENCE THRU THE ANOINTING. The scriptures reveal that God gave Jesus His Spirit Without Measure. No one therefore exceeds the light and grace that came to Israel and to all the world thru Jesus Christ. Don't you suppose that He by whom God made the worlds by KNOWS MOST AND KNOWS BEST?? He most certainly does. Friends. Jesus Christ is Lord.
I know right now in our nation and in the world we are undergoing strange times. Evil is like a black cloud in rolling thunder over the earths spiritual atmospheres. All of us are wondering what in the world is going on? Why is all this happening in and to our society? Where have the hearts of our children gone? Is there any hope? Will Heaven move one more time with grace or is it the time for all things to be fulfilled and the world to suffer great trouble and tribulation? Well lets listen to this.
I assure you by the light of the Word of the Lord, that in those dry dry days of the former generations and of this present hour, God has had and still does have His servants in secret and in quiet places in the temple of the Lord and in closets praying and interceding for the cause of God and His Christ.. In Spirit these prayer warriors and intercessors are ever before Him at the throne.. In Israels driest days God still had His prayer warriors and intercessors in position and they prayed down heaven on earth beyond all the worlds and beyond all of Israels yesterdays MEASURE. God became a man in Christ and dwelt amongst us and it was unknown and un popular men and women that knew of His Visitation and that knew His Cry and Understood His Purpose on earth and his calling as Savior and Messiah. Even when he was conceived miraculously and born of the virgin these FEW knew and THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO GOD THEY KNEW WHAT GOD WAS DOING though they were unknown in Israel. Go and read the first 4 chapters of Matthew and Luke and you will find some of them.
God seldom makes a move without first being asked or without talking His moves over with His special covenant friends on earth (Remember Abraham and Gods talk and conversation? "Lord, will you spare the city if just 50, 40, 30, even only 10 are found" ?). He just has His Chosen quiet ones in every generation MOSTLY IN SECRET, seldom in the lime light, asking Him in accordance to His Word and Will and He goes with those prayers to confirm them with His presence and light at the dispensation of their appointed time for there confirmations...And the Lord went with them, CONFIRMING HIS WORD AND HIS WILL with HIS SIGNS AND WONDERS following.
I believe that soon, all our prayers and all our intercessions for our nation, the dispensation for their appointed time will come and God will move and confirm those prayers and those intercessions with His Signs and Wonders called HIS RESPONSE, HIS ANSWERS....If My People Who Are Called By My Name (Remember).
I know it seems dark and dreary out there right now. Well so it was in Israel right before God shined on them His Face to face grace and the Loving-kindness of HIS PRESENCE WITH THEM BEYOND ALL THE HISTORY OF THEIR YESTERDAYS. Seeing all Christ signs and wonders they said. "Who is this Jesus who has such great power? He was the Lord their Redeemer in the flesh as FORE TOLD AND AS PROMISED WOULD COME.
There was not an Angel of the Lord in Christ as was in and behind the burning bush that spoke to Moses. No, but in Christ was The Lord from heaven HIMSELF saying, "Before Abraham was, I AM.......Let us call upon the Name of the Lord THE ANSWER. We so often say we are waiting for Gods response and so we should. YES WE SHOULD....But could it be God is waiting for the Church ON EARTHS response to GET SERIOUS WITH GOD AND TO QUIT PLAYING CHURCH LIKE ISRAEL WAS FOUND PLAYING CHURCH IN THE DAY OF THEIR VISITATION BY THE LORD. Salt, Jesus said, that has lost its flavor, its seasoning is no longer good for anything but to be cast out and trodden underfoot by men (BY THE WORLD). That's what playing Church gets us. HELLO. Could it be that there is a SALT PROBLEM in the Church today??? Or maybe the men, the preachers and the teachers are not pouring out from the pulpits or from their lives THE RIGHT AND NEEDED SALT that will preserve a generation??? I know one that did and he warned us for 5 decades that judgement was coming to America if America did not turn back to God and get real with Him.......deno.....share freely.
Measuring the Salt...Jesus said in the garden of his despair in Gethsemene to his disciples, What? Could you not watch and pray with me for ONE HOUR...The salt He sees in most Christians today is this. What? Could you not watch and pray with me for 5 minutes????? Hello....Jesus Is Speaking.
