We are called to impact all spheres of society

Truly we are in the season of the Lord where we as His people must rise from spiritual slumber and respond to the call of the Kingdom. One only has to look at the convergence of global events to see that in deep and great spiritual ways we are nearing the end of times. Romans 13:11 says "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:" Psalms 121:4 tells us that, "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." Saints, God is not asleep and neither should we be. We are in a time when we must come out of the four walls, identify the breaches in our communities and become repairers. Prophetic ministers and ministries need to come into alignment with God's eternal purposes if we are to be effective in this hour. As we come into a greater understanding of God's purpose of the Church, we can see why ho diabolos (the Devil) would seek to cause us to fall asleep. He does not want us to fulfil God's purposes in the earth. He hates obedience to God! You can see how in past seasons the enemy has had us so heavenly bound that we were not much earthy good. We made little difference in our communities – churches on every block yet sin and rebellion abound. God is calling us into new spiritual alignment so that we can impact all spheres of society with the transforming message of the Kingdom. He wants His King-dom to come on earth as it is in heaven and we are the carriers of His Kingdom. We need to begin doing that which He has called us to do. It is high the time that we awake and unite for the coming of our Lord and Savior is nearer in this generation than it was last year. This is no time to be spiritually asleep!

Time to lay aside denominationalism and religious

tribalism

Something supernaturally historic is about to happen to God's people, for God's people and through God's people! The nations are going to hear His voice stronger and experience the greatness of His power. There is truly a tremendous sensing among Chris-tians the world over given the intersecting of major world events. God is setting the stage for the Second Coming of our Lord and King. There is no doubt in my mind saints; we are coming into the abridgment of the end time. This is now the time to lay aside denominationalism and move away from religious tribalism. We must seek to unify as God's people and intensify our outreach for lost souls like never before. There is a new surge of God's power flowing into the Body of Christ to accomplish the work of the kingdom. Just a few days ago we were in prayer; it was the 15th night of our 21 days of fasting. As we worshipped, the supernatural power of God filled the sanctuary and ignited a fire within everyone's heart that was there. We felt a passion and a burden for the lost souls corporately as an impartation from the Lord was poured upon us. The Spirit of God spoke and asked us, "How much is a soul worth to you?" We were overwhelmed with an awesome sense of responsibility by this question on one hand and burdened heavily on the other knowing that God was awakening and summonsing our hearts to do even more. Saints we must work while it is day for when night time comes, no man can work. Will you give God permission to use you anew? Will you agree today to put off every work of darkness, even the very besetting sins and begin to walk humbly, circumspectly, blame-less and holy before our God? As this spiritual awakening unfolds, so will the greatest harvest of souls be reaped into the Kingdom. There is a coming revival unlike any we have ever seen recorded in times past. This one will sweep the nations as the glory of the Lord fill the earth; even now God is releasing a new surge of heaven's power upon you to do that which He has called you to.

GET READY FOR

HEAVEN'S POWER

and GLORY

God is going to, within this season, amplify His voice through His people and magnify His glory among His people. We are closer to the full realization of God's promise to Joel in chapter two of his book. We must awake and arise to the call of the Spirit. God is pouring out His Spirit in great, new and powerful ways. Perhaps you haven't realized it yet, but Heaven's power has been entrusted to you according to Luke 10. Will you open your heart today to receive heaven's power? This is the enabling power of God to do the work of the kingdom. Will you begin to invade new places and new frontiers with the message of the Kingdom? – In families, in government, in education, in entertainment, in business, in medicine and in every sector of society. This power is entrusted to us to become difference makers and world changers. I am sure that all of our hearts go out to the nation and people of Haiti following that recent tragic earthquake. Certainly our brothers and sisters deserve our continual prayers and our financial support. But Saints it will do us well to recognize that this nation is wide open for the Kingdom of God to invade it with the true love of Christ! Not religion but the power of the Kingdom of God manifesting in tangible ways! I say watch the hand of God upon the nation of Haiti, what the enemy meant for bad God will turn it around for His good! Haiti as a nation will glorify God the Father and its true spiritual destiny shall be awakened in this season.

personal discipline before we begin public discipleship

Friends it will take the su-pernatural power of God to accomplish the greatness which He is awakening within you. The power of the Holy Spirit is that vital force that we all need to develop the personal discipline before we begin public discipleship. God's desire is that none should perish; however, to win the lost we must be people of love, discipline and character. This is how they will know that we are His disciples and follow the Christ they see in us. Will you be a part of this move of God? God is speaking to you today! There's a woman who was on fire for God, as a matter of fact, you've preached in many Churches and the Lord used you mightily. Your husband walked out on you, you lost your home and your job in a matter of months. The enemy crippled your faith and distracted your walk with the Lord; you've entered a period to spiritual slumber. Daughter this is your time to awake and arise. You are a daughter of destiny and restoration shall be your portion in this season. Your voice will once again be lifted up like the trumpet of God that it is. There is even coming upon you a stirring of the gifting of the psalmist for you are one gifted as a singer. There is a young man, you've been in three car accidents in the past two years, in fact the last one the car flipped over three times was totalled and you walked out with nothing but scratches. There is a call on your life to preach the Word but you've been running. Son, the enemy has tried to take you out even from a child but God has been preserving you for such a season as this. You are called as community leader for you are one with great influence on people. There is a strong anointing on your life for the prophetic ministry; this is your time and season to awake and arise to the things of God.

Isaiah 21:8 says, "And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:" The word WARD here in Hebrew is, mishmereth and it means, the post, the station or the office. It gathers its root from mishmar which means to guard! As saints, we are called to be spiritual wardens, one who guards or has charge of something. Our duty in this hour is to find our station and position ourselves for spiritual duty. Many of us leave our families, churches and communities defenceless because we are asleep when we should be on duty praying and interceding one for the other and for those in authority over us. Will you make a commitment that you will not leave your post vacant but that you will begin to fulfil your destiny in greater spiritual ways? It is when you set yourself in your position that you will see your posture of prayer increase and take you to new levels in God. I pray that you remain alert to your spiritual destiny and will purpose in your heart not to be like the foolish virgins seen here in Matthew 25:1-13 "They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."
