Calls

Now is the Time

Beloved ministers of the Gospel, servants of the Most High God,

I solemnly charge you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will come again in power and majesty to judge the living and the dead, to take hold of the sacred trust given to you. As the Scriptures declare, “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him” (Revelation 1:7, AMP). Our Lord’s return draws near, and with His appearing, the fullness of His kingdom shall be revealed. Do not delay.

You have been called not by the will of man but by the will of God to proclaim His truth. The Word that burns in your heart is not your own; it is the message of Christ, the living Word. He has said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field” (Luke 10:2, AMP). And now, you are those workers. You are sent out not in your own strength but in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is not a time to shrink back but to rise up.

Remember the charge of Paul to Timothy, “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season” (2 Timothy 4:2, AMP). There are no convenient seasons, no moments where the work of the Kingdom can be delayed. Now is the time. Whether the soil seems fertile or barren, whether the people are eager or resistant, preach the truth of God’s Word. The Spirit compels you to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15, AMP) and to shepherd the flock of God entrusted to you with all humility and patience.

Beloved, understand this: “The time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3, AMP). And I tell you, that time has come. Many have turned aside to follow after myths and fables, seeking words that soothe their ears but lead them astray. But the Word of God is a two-edged sword, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12, AMP). We must wield it with truth and love. Do not soften the message for the sake of comfort, for “the truth will set them free” (John 8:32, AMP). Stand firm and guard the deposit entrusted to you.

To the apostles, be as those who establish the foundation of the Church, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20, AMP). Lead with authority and humility, knowing that you build not for yourselves but for the glory of God.

To the prophets, speak with boldness and clarity the words that God has placed in your mouth. Do not be silent in this hour. “If the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people, their blood will be on his hands” (Ezekiel 33:6, AMP). Now is the time to call the Church to repentance and purity.

To the evangelists, go forth with the message of life, for “how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (Romans 10:15, AMP). Let your words carry the urgency of eternity, for the souls of men hang in the balance.

To the pastors, shepherd the flock with the heart of the Good Shepherd, who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11, AMP). Care for the broken and the weary, but also be ready to correct and protect, for “wolves will come in sheep’s clothing” (Matthew 7:15, AMP).

To the teachers, teach sound doctrine and handle the Word of Truth rightly. The Church needs to be rooted and grounded in truth in this age of confusion and deception. “Let your teaching be full of grace, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:6, AMP), for your words have the power to shape the hearts of the next generation of believers.

Beloved, “the night is far spent, and the day is at hand” (Romans 13:12, AMP). Do not allow complacency or fear to hinder your ministry. “Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13, AMP). As you walk in your calling, know that the Spirit of God is with you, strengthening you, guiding you, empowering you for every good work. “He who has called you is faithful; He will surely do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24, AMP).

Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set before us (Hebrews 12:1, AMP). The Lord is coming soon. The fields are white for harvest. And you, His beloved ministers, are His instruments. Fulfill the work He has given you. Preach, teach, prophesy, shepherd, and evangelize with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20, AMP).

Revival

A Call to This Generation: Return to the Lord

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.

Visions

Vision of the Great Shepherd

In a vision, I see the valley consumed by shadows, a place where darkness and despair reign. The air thickens with the scent of hopelessness, and the cries of the lost echo through the cold, barren ground. However, the heavens suddenly open, and there appears One like the Son of Man, His face radiant as the sun at its peak, His eyes blazing like flames of fire (Revelation 1:13-16). His voice, mighty and unstoppable, roars like the sound of many waters (Revelation 1:15).

As He descends, the earth trembles beneath His feet, and the atmosphere fills with the sweet fragrance of holiness, a scent like myrrh and frankincense. The darkness flees before Him, for He carries a rod of iron in His right hand and a staff glowing with the light of life in His left (Psalm 23:4; Revelation 2:27). He walks among the scattered sheep, His robe brushing against the ground, leaving trails of light that illuminate the path before Him. The air resonates with the sound of angelic choruses, and the entire atmosphere shimmers with His glory (Revelation 5:11-12).

The Great Shepherd calls out to the wounded and weary, His voice tender yet strong, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). His words are sweet as honey, soothing the soul. As He speaks, the chains that bind the lost shatter, falling away like dust in the wind. The once-lost sheep lift their heads, recognizing their Shepherd with tears of joy streaming down their faces (John 10:14). The barren ground beneath them begins to bloom, vibrant flowers springing forth, filling the air with a fresh, fragrant scent.

The Great Shepherd reaches out His hand, and as He touches them, their wounds heal, their pain lifts, and their souls find restoration (Psalm 23:3; Isaiah 53:5). Still waters appear before them, clear and pure, reflecting the glory of the heavens. He leads them beside these waters, where they find a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). The light of His presence banishes all fear, and under His watchful care, they know they are safe, forever held in the embrace of their Shepherd.

Finally, I hear a voice from the throne proclaiming, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4).

Temple

You Are God’s Temple: Embrace Your Divine Identity

About a 6 minute read

Introduction

Beloved, there’s a powerful truth woven throughout Scripture that every believer must fully embrace: you are God’s temple. This reality is far more than just a comforting idea; it is the very foundation of your identity in Christ. The Bible makes it clear that you have been bought with a price, and that the Spirit of the living God now dwells within you. Understanding this truth can transform your life and deepen your walk with God.

You Are Bought With a Price

From the earliest pages of Scripture, God asserts His ownership over all creation. The psalmist proclaims, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1). However, God’s claim on your life goes even deeper. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you have been purchased, redeemed by His precious blood. Peter reminds us, “You were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19).

This act of redemption is echoed in Paul’s writings: “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This price was not just a transaction—it was an act of divine love, intended to make you His own possession. In Christ, you are set apart as holy, claimed by God for His purposes.

In the Old Testament, God spoke of His people as His special possession. In Deuteronomy, Moses reminded Israel, “Is this the way you repay the Lord, foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?” (Deuteronomy 32:6). Just as Israel was chosen and set apart, so too are you, a treasured possession of the Lord.

You Are Set Apart as His Temple

Understanding that you are God’s temple changes everything. The Bible tells us, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). This is not a mere metaphor; it is a profound reality. Your body, mind, and soul are sacred spaces where the Holy Spirit resides. Just as the temple in Jerusalem was the dwelling place of God’s presence, so now, in Christ, your very being has become His holy habitation.

The prophets foretold this glorious truth. Zechariah spoke of the Messiah who would build the temple of the Lord: “Yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both” (Zechariah 6:13). Yet, this temple is not constructed of stone but of living stones—each of you, and every believer—being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit (Ephesians 2:20-22).

Peter echoes this sentiment when he writes, “You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). This means that your life is a place of worship, where God’s presence dwells continually. You are set apart, holy, and sacred because God Himself lives in you.

The book of Revelation also speaks to this truth, promising that those who overcome will be made “a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it” (Revelation 3:12). The image is clear: as God’s temple, you are an essential part of His eternal plan, forever connected to His presence.

Glorify God in Your Body

Because you are God’s temple, your life must reflect His holiness. Paul exhorts us, “The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body” (1 Corinthians 6:13). This means that your actions, thoughts, and desires should honor the God who dwells within you. As the temple of God, your body is sacred, and what you do with it matters deeply to God.

The temple in the Old Testament was a place of reverence and worship, where God’s glory was revealed. Similarly, your life should be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Romans 12:1 urges us, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” This means that every aspect of your life, from your daily decisions to your deepest desires, should be surrendered to God as an act of worship.

Moreover, Paul writes, “For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people’” (2 Corinthians 6:16). This relationship is intimate and personal. God is not distant; He is within you, guiding, comforting, and empowering you to live according to His will.

Remember also that your body, as God’s temple, is a vessel for His purposes. Philippians 2:13 assures us, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” God is actively at work within you, shaping your will to align with His, and enabling you to carry out His divine plans.

A Call to Embrace Your Identity

Beloved, let this truth shape your identity: you are God’s temple. The Almighty has chosen to dwell within you, making you a vessel of His presence. Live in the fullness of this calling, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and empower you. As you walk in this truth, you will find strength, purpose, and peace in knowing that you belong to the Lord.

John, the beloved disciple, captured the heart of this truth when he wrote, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1). You are not only God’s temple; you are His child, bought with a price, and destined for glory.

This identity calls for a response. Will you live as one who is His, as one who is filled with His Spirit, who walks in His ways, who abides in His love? “If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s” (Romans 14:8).

In Revelation, we are given a vision of the temple in heaven, where God and the Lamb are the temple (Revelation 21:22). This vision points to the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan, where His presence will be fully realized among His people. Until that day, live as His temple on earth, reflecting His glory in all you do.

Conclusion

Embrace the truth that you are God’s temple. Let it transform your life, influence your decisions, and deepen your relationship with God. As you live out this divine identity, you will bring glory to the One who has made His dwelling within you. Live as His temple, holy and set apart, for His glory and your ultimate joy.

Listening

Deep Listening

In our hurried world, we often respond automatically to common questions. When asked, “How are you?” we might instinctively reply, “Fine,” without truly engaging. Yet, God calls us to a deeper level of awareness, urging us to connect both our minds and hearts in our interactions and relationship with Him. This concept of deep listening to God’s love is essential for a transformative Christian life.

Listening with One’s Mind

Listening with the mind involves actively engaging with God’s Word and allowing it to shape our thoughts and actions. This intellectual engagement is crucial as it forms the foundation of our faith and understanding. Romans 10:17 (AMP) reminds us, “So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.” Through consistent study and meditation on Scripture, we memorize and internalize God’s teachings, enabling us to respond thoughtfully rather than automatically.

Listening with One’s Heart and Mind

However, God desires more than just intellectual understanding; He calls us to listen with both our hearts and minds. This means allowing the truths we have memorized to resonate deeply within us, transforming our responses and interactions. Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) emphasizes this comprehensive approach: “Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].” Trusting God with all our heart involves an emotional and spiritual connection that goes beyond mere knowledge.

Breaking the Automatic Response

In our daily interactions, breaking free from automatic responses requires conscious effort. When someone asks, “How are you?” we can take a moment to truly reflect on our feelings and thoughts, responding with honesty and depth. Similarly, in our spiritual lives, God encourages us to move beyond surface-level responses and engage with Him deeply. Matthew 15:8 (AMP) reflects this call: “These people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.” God desires genuine connection, where our words and actions are aligned with the condition of our hearts.

Example: Telling Someone “God Loves You”

Imagine telling someone, “God loves you.” If they are listening with their mind, they might recall the familiar scriptures and affirm the truth. But if they are listening with their heart and mind, they might be profoundly moved. They would reflect on the enormity of God’s love: the God of the Universe, who created everything, knew us before time, knew all our sins, and knew we could never have a relationship with Him because of our sin. Yet, He sent His only Son to die for us on the cross so that we might be able to have a relationship with Him.

Brokenness and Crying

When we fully grasp this truth, it can break us. Psalm 34:18 (AMP) says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Recognizing that the Creator of the universe loves us so deeply that He sacrificed His Son for us can bring us to tears. It’s a moment of brokenness that opens our hearts to His love and grace.

Example: Worshiping the Lord

When we worship the Lord, we sing songs to Him. Some may lift up their hands, or even dance! But if we combine that with deep listening, the experience completely changes. Recently, I was at a local church (Living Word) and heard the song “King of Kings” by Hillsong Worship for the first time. When I hear a worship song for the first time, I immediately go into a Biblical analysis to ensure it is solid. Once I knew it was, I jumped right in. Sometimes, the Spirit overrides my evaluation, and I jump right in, but not always. After evaluating the song, I accepted it in my mind and opened my heart to it. I couldn’t even get through the first verse without crying and being broken about what God has done for us, for me. This combination of mind and heart listening brought a profound connection with God’s love.

Grounded in the Word

Remaining grounded in the Word is essential, especially during emotional highs and lows. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (AMP) underscores the importance of Scripture: “All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Being rooted in Scripture ensures that our responses and actions are guided by truth, providing stability and clarity.

Connecting Mind and Heart

To truly listen and connect the knowledge of our minds with the emotions of our hearts, we must let God’s love break us and fill us with Him. Understanding that “God loves us” is not just an intellectual exercise but a transformative experience. It means letting the truth penetrate our innermost being, changing how we view ourselves, others, and our relationship with God.

Deep Listening to God’s Love

When we hear “God loves you,” it should do more than generate a rote response. It should be a deeply felt truth that engages both our minds and hearts, leading us to a profound encounter with God’s love. This connected listening transforms our faith and allows us to live out the teachings of Christ with genuine passion and conviction.

In conclusion, let us strive for deep listening to God’s love. Let us break free from automatic responses and engage with God’s Word intellectually and emotionally. In doing so, we will experience a deeper, more transformative relationship with God, grounded in the truth of His eternal love for us. This approach to listening will not only enrich our own lives but also enable us to share the profound love of God with others in a meaningful and impactful way.

Unchanging

Unwavering Faith in a wavy world

In navigating the complex intersection of cultural progression and biblical fidelity, churches are called to uphold the truth of God’s unchanging Word while extending Christ’s love to all. This tension is evident as some denominations reconsider traditional stances on issues such as homosexuality and the ordination of women, aiming to embody a more inclusive approach.

The Immutable Word of God vs. Cultural Adaptation

Scripture is unequivocal about its own authority and immutability. “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isaiah 40:8, AMP). This passage reinforces the eternal relevance of the Bible in the face of shifting cultural landscapes. As society evolves, the temptation for churches can be to reinterpret Scripture to align with contemporary norms. However, Psalm 119:89 affirms, “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.” This permanence challenges churches to maintain doctrinal integrity even when societal pressures are formidable.

Welcoming Sinners without Endorsing Sin

Jesus Christ exemplified the perfect balance of grace and truth, offering redemption while calling for repentance. His encounter with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10) is a powerful illustration of this balance: Christ welcomed a known sinner, leading to Zacchaeus’s heartfelt repentance and transformation. Similarly, churches are called to be sanctuaries of redemption where individuals are inspired to renounce sin and embrace new life in Christ, as emphasized in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Impact on Doctrine and Community

While inclusivity is a noble goal, it must not lead to doctrinal compromise. Revelation 2:20–23 warns churches against tolerating teachings that lead believers astray. Churches must carefully discern between genuine doctrinal development and unwarranted shifts that could dilute the gospel’s power. The epistles to the churches in Revelation provide a stern reminder of the necessity for churches to hold fast to sound doctrine while correcting those who deviate from it.

Navigating Forward with Truth and Grace

The apostle Paul, in Ephesians 4:15, instructs believers to “speak the truth in love,” growing in every way more like Christ. This directive provides a roadmap for churches: to uphold biblical truth uncompromisingly while engaging with all people in a spirit of genuine love and empathy. In doing so, churches can foster environments where transformative discussions occur, and lives are changed.

Conclusion

In fulfilling their divine mandate, churches must anchor their teachings firmly to Scripture, using it as the foundation for all doctrine and practice. As Paul urges in 2 Timothy 4:2, “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” By holding steadfastly to God’s unchanging Word and embodying His love, churches can effectively minister to a changing world, guiding many to the truth and light of Jesus Christ. This balance of grace and truth, challenging yet loving, is not just compelling—it is transformative.
