Greetings,
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God. . . obey. . . cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days. . . " Deuteronomy 30: 19 - 20
I did not think the Lord would place upon me a message to share with you via 'prayer email' this week. So much with our gathering this weekend and final adjustments, that time is precious. Yet, the Lord speaks, and as I shared in the message of how all this came to be for 'A Call for a Solemn Assembly', I am not disobedient to the heavenly vision'. I am sharing with what God is speaking and revealing to me in regards to the estate of our nation and the state of the church.
God has called us to gather and assemble together. Now we are not able to do that physically, thus the live stream. The very way of life, world wide is being altered in our day. and what comes next, should be on the mind of every Christian. God's mind and heart should be priority. And our elusive way of church and Christian living should come under introspection during these slower, quieter days. Introspection of our priorities, intents of the heart, daily spiritual disciplines and routines of the church for His kingdom. For the two major goals that God has imparted to us as His people: for holiness; 'Be ye holy, for I am holy'; and secondly, 'finish the task'. No way can the individual or the church finish the task, without the enduing of God's power from on high.
And this enduement of power from on high, comes from those that choose Him; choose to love Him with all the heart, mind body and soul; choose to obey Him in all His commandments, whether great or small; and choose to cleave unto Him. For we have found that 'all other ground is sinking sand' therefore choose Him alone. And this returning to our first love, this resetting our priorities is absolutely necessary, for along the way of the American church we have lost these things. Humanism and pragmatism have begun our theology; and God is not sought nor found. Thus, with His remedial judgements He has sent us warnings, reproofs, rebukes, but alas they have been dismissed by the pragmatist.
Yet God in the midst of this plague is calling and inviting. He is shaking the nations and the church. And what comes out of this is so important. God has allowed us this Divine moment, 'for such a time as this' to see and be a part of these end times. Oh, that we may finish well; Oh, that we may do well. Take heed brethren, is the warning and calling throughout all of Scripture. Let us take heed to these days of God's moving that we be found choosing life, choosing God and yielding and surrendering to Him for His purposes, for His will and for His kingdom. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
The absolute necessity is to rid ourselves of disobedience, humanism, rebellion as a nation, and as the church. The conflict in our nation (s), is much in the church today. and leaders and the remnant cannot so much answer for the nation, but we can answer for the state and choices of the church. Standing together (unity), prevailing in prayer, holy and Spirit filled.
Even in the midst of these days of the plague, where 10,000's are exiting this world into eternity, the other EPIDEMICS are still happening in alarming fashion. Our urgency, and fervency should match the state of the church and the nation. Too much self, and not enough surrender is found among too much of the church. Looking and listening to the church for a renewed vow of the covenant to be fully surrendered to Him, no matter what.
Upon these days of 'A Call for a Solemn Assembly' it is the motive, priority and instruction to get back what we have lost in intimacy with our Lord. It is to restore our priorities. It is to renew our vows to Him in the midst of these judgements. 'For who know if He will return and repent and leave a blessing behind Him' for our future. Two days are really not enough to deal with all this, but it is the reason that it is 'a call' and not an actual Solemn Assembly. These days are upon us, pray for me and the speakers, pray for the viewers and for the churches response.
There has been a flurry of response the last 48 hours. Thank your support, prayers and helping to promote. It's time to do it.
Prayer tonight and Friday at 7 PM (EST) on the Facebook page and the youtube page for the group, 'A Call for a Solemn Assembly'.
