Beloved, I write to you not as one who is distant, but as one who witnesses the light that has come into the world—the light that still shines in the darkness, which the darkness has not overcome. The Lord’s voice echoes through the ages, calling you to return to the Lord. Now is the time.
This generation has grown weary, entangled in the snares of routine and the comforts of complacency. You have known the form of godliness, yet you deny its power. Although you gather in His name, your hearts remain distant from the fire of His love. The Lord longs for you to draw near, to know Him not as a distant figure but as the living God who is close to all who call on Him in truth.
Do not be deceived by empty rituals that offer no life. The Lord desires more than outward expressions; He seeks your heart. As Scripture declares, “Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning” (Joel 2:12). The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. He will not turn away from the one who seeks Him with a humble heart. Therefore, return to the Lord.
Oh generation, how long will you slumber in the comfort of predictability? How long will you be satisfied with shadows when the substance of His glory is within your reach? The Lord calls you to wake up, to shake off the dust of apathy, and to rise into the fullness of His light. The day is coming, and indeed it is here, when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him (John 4:23).
You are the temple of the living God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you. How can you be content with anything less than His fullness? The Lord desires to fill His temple with His glory, to reveal His presence in your midst. “And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Exodus 40:34). He longs to fill your life with His unshakeable presence, to dwell among you as your God, and you as His people. Therefore, return to the Lord and experience His glory.
Let your heart be stirred. Let the coals of heaven touch your lips and purify your words. The Lord calls you to speak His truth with boldness. Let the fire of His Spirit ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched, for He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). The Lord calls you to a deeper walk, a life where His Spirit guides every step, where His presence is your constant companion.
Do not delay, for the time is short. The Lord is near, and He calls you to return to the Lord with all your heart. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6). He is faithful and just to forgive you, to cleanse you from all unrighteousness, and to fill you with His Spirit.
Beloved, this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). If you walk in the light, as He is in the light, you will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies you from all sin (1 John 1:7). Return to the Lord, and He will make all things new.
Let your heart be stirred by the presence of God, for the seraphim and cherubim encircle His throne, crying out day and night, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8). Allow the coals of heaven to touch your lips and purify your words. Let the fire of God rest upon your heart and ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched. The Lord is calling you into His holy presence, where the angels declare His glory and where His Spirit fills you with life and light.
Let this be the cry of your heart: “Lord, I need You more today than I did yesterday. I am desperate, I am hungry, and I long for the real Jesus. Come, Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, fill me with Your fire, and let Your glory rest upon me.” Amen.
