God is bringing many shifts to the church in these end times. There is an acceleration that is coming with the reformation as God is requiring speedy and major changes in how we have conducted our lives and His business. The preparation of the church for the coming of Christ is now more urgent than ever before.
Many children of God are trying to make sense of what is happening worldwide. Many are asking where is God? What is happening? Many are anxious and afraid.
I am here to let you know God is still on the throne and that God is still with you as His child. Yes, He has shaken the whole world. Yes , He has shaken and judged the world and shown men that they are just but men.
Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, And the nations cannot endure His indignation. We have seen nations great and small alike shaken to the core. Great economies are quaking. Nations can’t stand the judgement of the Almighty.
The Lord has used this shaking also to weigh and measure believers and show them where they really are spiritually. God has tested our faith, just as He tested the faith of the ancient Israelites by allowing them to go through hard times in the wilderness, “in order to know what was in your heart".
Deuteronomy 8:2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
Remember: If your faith is weak, it may not be obvious when life is going smoothly and you aren’t challenged in any way. But when hard times come, a weak faith will be revealed for what it really is: shallow and unable to help you through life’s difficulties
This has been a small test to expose how strong our faith has been and how playing church for all these years has produced weak believers who cannot stand in the face of adversity. With all the time believers had in church we should have been grounded in the Word but we have been feeding on milk not bones and pampering our fleshly and felt needs. Our faith has been shown now to be grossly inadequate in the face of challenges.
In the reformation we have been challenging leaders to equip believers, bring them to maturity, establish people in faith, in the present truth and encourage believers to stand on the Christ the rock, lead them to Christ and not to the man of God, train people to hear God for themselves, prepare people for the coming tribulation not to escape suffering.
The Church will now be ready to change. Believers will now be ready to get the real Gospel. This is a defining moment in every true believer’s walk.
When this pandemic started spreading the Lord gave the word and said , His name is a strong tower , the righteous run into it and are safe, Prov 18:10 ,The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. This word is for every true believer. Hold on to the word. The name of Jesus is a strong tower for you. In a tower you are barricaded and secured from all harm. Run and hide in the Name and you will be safe. Remain inside His name as more turbulence is yet to come to this world.
The Lord again gave another word to His people, He said, ‘I AM with you’.
God was reassuring every child of God He is with them during this time of crisis for the world. The crisis is not for the believers but for the world. Again the Lord has released a word of comfort to His children, He has said , ‘Do not be afraid because l am with you , I will guide you’
Is 41:10 , Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
God wants His children to be at peace in the midst of this storm the world is facing. He has promised to help his children. He wants it emphasized that He is with His children. He does not want you discouraged in the face of all that is happening but to know He will be strenghthening you, yes you. He will be upholding you , meaning you will not go under as His right hand will be holding you up. He will help you in everyway you need help.
Children of God must not fear during this time. God is with you. God will guide you. Stay in the word and in prayer and fasting. This will keep your faith high and you will not join the world as it is trembles because of the plague and all the other challenges that are coming.
The Lord has also given the word below:-
Hebrews 7:25 KJV
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
No matter what is happening here on earth with the people of the world, there is a distinct category of people Jesus is concerned about and seeks to help. These are those who are His own ,Jesus is interceding for them in this time and help will come their way.
So be encouraged. Join us on Wednesday 29 April 2020 as we dialogue on Zoom to know what the Lord wants us to know and do in this season.
