Today as I was working on my Seminary I found out that only approximately 7% or of the entire world live as born again Christians and 50% of the world's population still doesn't know that Christ exists. Also there are more people being born into the world than ther are "Born Again. " In fact in the past 64 years, the world's population has increased 19 times faster than the Protestant population. This means only one of every nineteen people born today will accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How can God use us to reach the billions of souls that don't even know Christ. We can't do it all but we know that we can do our part to let the supernatural power of God move through our lives to reach all those he has ordained for us to reach in this hour. How can we do this? By believing in the scripture below. God will use his saints in these last days to do an impossible work through in order to get his mission accomplished. The only thing we have to do is be willing to yield ourselves in sacrifice to God and let him do the rest. Christians who aren't willing to say "Nevertheless my will but thy will be done" won't be able to experience his unprecedented glory that is being revealed in this endtime. So, let us gear up and get ready for God to use us as vessels to complete the impossible.
18:27 But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
The amplified version of Matthew 7:1-2 says"Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemened, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you."
This morning at 4:00 a.m. I was woke up by the Lord and couldn't sleep and so I began to ask God what is he saying? Then this scripture came in my spirit. I'm reminded of a friend of mine on my church who has a book called Judge Not. I informed him that I would soon be purchasing the book because I'm curious to see what it says. However, even though I haven't got it yet, I believe God is sending a warning in the spirit.
I don't write blogs often unlesss I really feel the Lord is prophetically speaking something for us to be aware of. Yes, God speaks all the time but I believe there are times when God wants to "sound the trumpet". When I heard this scripture, God told me that we as belivers have to be careful in this hour what we called cursed or not of God. The way that God is going to use the church in this hour is in a way we have never been seen before! He is going to unleash a glory that has never been revealed before and many people will call it not of God if they don't spiritually discern with the word of God and the Holy Spirit that dwells within.
I Corithians 2:15 says "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." What? I thought the bible just told us not to judge? I believe our judging has to be spiritual. We have to make sure what we are judging is by the spirit of God! If we can't say that what we are judging is 100% accurate, then we best step back and pray lest we curse our own soul. For example, if there is a movement where something is in question, step back, examine with the word of God and pray. Often times we want to speak out against a thing but not pray. We have to be careful because there are those in the body of Christ who are babes and may not discern as we discern and if we aren't careful, we can steer them away from God. We have to use wisdom in exposing. Is it for us to expose or is it for us to pray for God to reveal himself in that situation?
James 3: 8-10 says" But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My bretheren, these things ought not so to be."
Finally, Let us use our mouths to bless where we can bless and what we see that isn't a blessing, pray that God reveals himself in the situation. In this hour, because of the way God desires to move, we should make sure that we are continuing to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling and do the work of God. He will eventually destroy those things not of God.
Remember the counsel of Gamaliel to the Pharisees in Acts 5? Verse 38-39 says: "And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or work be of men, it will come to ought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."
We see that Gamaliel presented sound advice about reacting to religious movements. Unless the groups are endorsing obviously dangerous doctrines or practices, it is often wiser to let God's will take it's course and not try to stop it within our own selves.
Lord help us for the times that we have spoken against something we didn't spiritually discern and forgive us for any words we let come out of our mouths that might have misrepresented you.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
We all know that this story is taken from Daniel Chapter 3 concerning the firey furnest. We know that Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego had no intentions of surrendering to the king's God. However, I want to point out something very key. Because they vowed not to serve the king. God was able to send an angel to protect them, and God changed the atmosphere so that they didn't smell like smoke, nor was their hair burned! Because they yielded their bodies to God, he changed the atmosphere to bring forth his glory so that others would believe!
Whenever we yield our bodies to God, we put ourselves in a position for God's supernatural provision to show up. According to Webster, to yield means to give up possession of on claim or demand: as a: to give up (as one's breath) and so die.to surrender or relinquish to the physical control of another : hand over possession of c: to surrender or submit (oneself) to another.
Amazingly, to yield also means to bear or bring forth as a natural product especially as a result of cultivation the tree always yields good fruit: to produce or furnish as return this soil should yield good crops: to produce as return from an expenditure or investment : furnish as profit or interest.
When we totally give our body to God and no longer rely on our fleshly desires and his body becomes our body, he can use us for his glory and bring forth supernatural fruit-healings, miracles, signs and wonders that have not yet been accomplished in the earth! Just as he did for Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego.
I told the Lord, I don't want to preach, teach, or minster like any other person but I want to minster in a new power of his glory! I want God to change the atmosphere when I minister so that miracles, signs and wonders can take place! I want him to do something that has not been done before! When we yield to him through prayer, fasting, and worship; he will do this!! Lets rejoice for the new glory that God will produce in us as we yield to him! Are you ready?1?! I AM!!!!!!!
