WHOM SHALL I SEND? WHO WILL GO FOR US?


Blessings to you and yours my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord!


   Time itself is accelerating. Biblical Prophesies are coming to pass. Our time is short. The Son of God, our Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth will be returning soon. We, His Bride should make herself ready!

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready."  Revelation 19:7 (KJV)

   We have been called with a heavenly purpose. The Lord has a plan and we fit into it. I realize that we can argue the point and say: "Not me. You do not know what I've done. He doesn't want to use someone like me."  

   Well let's put that to rest right now. When He sent His son to die on the cross you were on His mind. His love for you and hope for your future kept Jesus on the cross. He could've gotten down off that cross at any time. But He didn't. His love for us kept Him there. By His own choice and willingness. Because He loved you then and loves you now. Selah... (Ponder with intent and quietness of heart.)

  
   "For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time--to show us His grace through Christ Jesus." II Timothy 1:9 (NKJ)

   "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJ)


     So let's see what it is that He wants us to do for Him. Get excited and get ready!

   As we begin to look into this subject we will look at scripture verses that will help us to identify gifts and talents that we may have. We may already know or have an idea of talents that have been useful in blessing others. What is it that seems to come naturally to you? Or maybe you're not sure. As we study I know the Lord will make it clear for you. So be encouraged and have hope. 


   The Lord by His Holy Spirit, has adorned us, His Bride with spiritual gifts that are not only to meant to build up the body of Christ. But, are to be used to show His power and grace to those who are lost, void of hope and walking in darkness. As much as we are to extend the love and grace of our Lord. We must also understand that these gifts are powerful and full of Gods power to save, heal and deliver. Miracles will take place. Signs and wonders will happen. The dead will be raised back to life. Blind eyes will be opened. The most cynical of sinners will be saved and transformed in  heart and begin to worship the Lord God Almighty! Hallelujah! I can't help myself our God is so good!

   Our gifts are unique to us. We do not have the same gifts and talents. But they are all designed to work together in conjunction with one another. Our responsibility is to seek Him out and find what it is that He wants us to do and where He wants us to do it.


   We have been given wonderful gifts and talents. We are here on earth for a particular time and season. God has a call or mandate upon our lives. We must begin to believe that we have a purpose and walk in it, to fulfill our divine destiny in Christ Jesus. 


   "Ask and it shall be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV)


   Let me ask you a question. Would you like to be a part of what the Lord is doing in the world today?  If your answer is yes, I'd like you to say to Him right now "Lord here am I, send me."  Our Brother Isaiah had the same opportunity. He overheard the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? Who will go for us? Then Isaiah volunteered his services.

   You can find this account in the Book of Isaiah chapter 6 verse 8. 


The Lord richly bless you and make His face to shine upon you, in all that you may do and say to further His kingdom and bless His holy name!

KEEP YOUR PRAYER LIFE STEADFAST IN THE LORD


Blessings to you Beloved of the Lord,



   There is time upon us in which our prayer lives will be essential. Not to say that it should not be an essential part of our every day walk with the Lord as believers. The world is ever changing and transforming. New ways of thinking, that in my opinion may cause confusion to the masses. There are so many voices vising for our attention. Many are misleading.

   I would like to admonish you today to begin to purposefully seek the Lord while He may be found.
"Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near." (Isaiah 55:6 NIV) This verse can seem a little puzzling, giving the impression that the Lord may not always be found. Just remember that He, by His Holy Spirit now resides in our inner most being or the hidden man of our heart, our spirit man if you have asked Him into your life.

 What to pray?

   Pray for the minds, ears, hearts and eyes of the lost to be opened to hear the voice of our Lord and see His love and kindness toward them.

   Pray for all believers that their faith would not fail them in times of persecution and turmoil.

  Pray and repent for your sin, your family's sin, the sin of our countries and the world. That they would turn from our wicked ways and turn back to God our Lord and Creator.

   Pray for our children and their children that they would have the heart to serve the Lord and find their peace in Him and not the things of this world.

   Pray for your ruling leaders that all would be well with you and your families and the Lord would give you favor.

  Pray that the wicked schemes of the ungodly would be exposed by the Spirit of Almighty God and their plans and purposes of harm and evil would come to naught.

  Pray the Lord to give you a holy boldness in this season to go out into the highways and byways and spread the good news of our Savior and win the lost to the Lord.

  Pray and thank the lord for providing the provision needed to reach others for the sake of Christ.

  Pray for miracles to be wrought by humble hands as you minister to and (serve) those around you always giving glory to God.

  Pray for the Lord to put His words in your mouth to speak and deliver many by His Holy Spirit.

  Pray for the Lord give you and song in your mouth to keep your faith strong and your joy in Him everlasting as you receive your call and marching orders from your King.

  This list is not complete. I know the Lord by His Holy Spirit will also place things in your heart that need to be prayed for.

  Go out as the people of Israel did with a shout of victory and songs of deliverance. They moved expecting the God of Israel to go before them and to be their rear guard in battle. And He was and still is!

   Remember there is no God like our God who can save, deliver, heal, raise the dead, to give sight to the blind spiritually and physically, cause the lame to walk, calm the troubled seas and make mute people speak. The list of His miracles goes beyond what we are able to comprehend and speak.

  God is God of all and there is none like Him. We are a blessed people indeed to have been given so great an invitation to serve such a wonderful living God.  His mercy endures forever and He forgives our sins holding nothing to our charge.

  If you would like to experience the ever present love and mercy of God in your life, just ask Him into your life now. A simple prayer asking for God to forgive your ways that you may not have known were contrary to His ways. Ask Jesus to come into your life and show you the right path to take in Him. And thank Him for becoming your Savior and helping you in your every life. In good times and bad.

  "For every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved." (Romans 10:13 YLT)

  Welcome to the family of God! Please email us to let us know that you prayed and invited the Lord into your life, so we may put you on our prayer list and pray for you and support your growth in Christ.

**You and yours are always in our thoughts and prayers**

"Blessings to you my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. May all grace abound toward you and yours in the matchless name of Jesus!"
