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).

Vision of the Living Church: A Revelation of God’s Life

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and behold, I was carried away to a vast, open plain under a sky that seemed to pulse with the very breath of God. The air was thick with the scent of fresh rain, mingling with the fragrance of blooming flowers, as though creation itself was alive and rejoicing in the presence of its Creator. As I stood there, I felt the earth beneath me trembling, as if anticipating the unveiling of a great and wondrous mystery.

Before me, I saw a mighty tree, ancient and strong, its roots dug deep into the earth, and its branches stretching out toward the heavens. The leaves shimmered in the light, rustling like the whispers of angels, and from its branches hung clusters of fruit, radiant and alive with an inner light. The sight was both awe-inspiring and inviting, and as I approached, I heard a voice, clear and resonant, like the sound of many waters, saying, “Come and see what the Spirit reveals to the Church in these last days.”

As I reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, the world around me began to shift and transform. The ground beneath my feet softened, as though it had become as smooth as velvet, and the sky above darkened, not with the gloom of night, but with a deep, majestic hue, as if a great veil had been drawn over the sun. In that moment, I beheld the Church as it is today—a multitude of faces, some bright with joy, others dim with sorrow; some burdened by the cares of this world, others wearied from the long journey of faith. The air was thick with the scent of smoldering embers, the remnants of fires that once burned bright but had now nearly died out. Yet amidst this scene of weariness, I sensed a stirring, like the first breath of dawn, carrying the distant scent of a fresh anointing.

As I watched, the wind began to blow stronger, carrying with it the scent of spring—fresh, vibrant, and full of the promise of new life. It was as though the very breath of God was moving through the assembly, awakening those who had fallen asleep and kindling a new fire in the hearts of the weary. I saw the breath of God breathe life into the dry bones of a people who had grown faint, and as the breath touched them, their eyes began to shine with a new light, their faces lifted as if catching the first rays of a rising sun. The fragrance of life filled the air, and the weary were refreshed, their spirits quickened with a renewed zeal. It was as the prophet Ezekiel had seen, “I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live” (Ezekiel 37:5).

Suddenly, I heard the sound of rushing waters, and from the roots of the mighty tree, a river burst forth, crystal clear and flowing with unstoppable force. As it surged through the plain, life sprang up wherever it touched. Along its banks, trees rose, their leaves shimmering with a silver hue, and fruit bursting with the sweet scent of ripe figs. The waters sparkled, reflecting the glory of God, and mingled with the song of birds, creating a melody of creation—a symphony vibrant and alive. The words of Scripture echoed in my heart, “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells” (Psalm 46:4).

Wherever the river flowed, the barren land became a garden, and dry places were filled with green pastures. People from every nation came to the river, their faces alight with hope. As they drank, their strength was renewed, their spirits lifted as if borne on wings of eagles. It was the river of life, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, bringing healing to the nations (Revelation 22:1-2).

As I stood by the river, the presence of the Lord was with me, and His voice, like the gentle rustling of leaves in a summer breeze, said, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). The invitation was open to all, and those who were weary came to the river, and as they drank of its waters, they found rest for their souls. The river was the life of God, flowing freely to all who would come, and it brought healing, restoration, and peace to all who would drink.

Then, as the sun began to rise, I saw the Church transformed before my eyes. No longer were the people burdened or weary; they stood tall, clothed in white garments that shone like the morning sun. Their faces were radiant, their eyes filled with the light of Christ, and their voices joined in a song of praise that echoed across the plain like the sound of many harps. The air was thick with the fragrance of myrrh and frankincense, a sweet offering rising to the heavens. The words of the prophet Isaiah rang in my ears, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you” (Isaiah 60:1).

I saw a great multitude standing before the throne of God, their robes washed clean, their hands raised in worship. The scent of incense filled the air, and the voice of the Lord thundered like a great storm, “Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5). The Church, once weary and divided, now stood united and strong, a bride adorned for her bridegroom, ready for the day of the Lord.

And I saw the heavens open, and a voice from the throne declared, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4). The vision was clear—the Church had been purified, refined by the fires of trial, and now stood as a holy people, a royal priesthood, ready to inherit the Kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world (1 Peter 2:9; Matthew 25:34).

The vision began to fade, but the fragrance of life remained, lingering in the air like the memory of a beautiful song. The voice of the Lord still echoed in my heart, calling out to His people, “Rise up and live in the fullness of My life, for the time is near.” The words of Jesus resounded in my spirit, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

This is the vision I saw, a revelation of the Church as it is to come—a Church alive in the Spirit, walking in the fullness of God’s life, and proclaiming His glory to all the earth. Blessed are those who hear this word and take it to heart, for the days of fulfillment are at hand. Amen.
