I find myself dealing with a heavy heart today. The realization of the times and season we are living in has become a reality to me ..especially during the past couple days. I have never had a burden for my nation nor have I really cared enough to cry out on behalf of the lost. I guess I never really understood intercession until now. Because now I find myself pondering in my heart the faces of prostitutes whom are living out of brokeness and surviving from there endulgence on sin. Now I find myself instead of mocking …but weeping for the homosexual who really, from deception, believes he was created to be like that. Now instead of a thought ‘Oh yea im against abortion’ I see through the eyes of Jesus…whom sees it as murder. Now instead of flipping through the news and complaining about all the ‘Drama’ our nation is caught up in my heart aches because the time is so short yet we are no where close to being ready. These new heart changes are not because im turning ‘Super-spiritual’ (whatever that is anyway) or because I had some crazy encounter with a 20ft angel blowing a trumpet to wake me up!..My heart change simply came from choosing to embrace the heart of Jesus and letting him SHATTER all mindsets I had so neatly set up in this wild brain of mine. And every wall he shattered left room for his thoughts toward this generation and time. I am grateful he woke me up and pointed my eyes toward reality. Speaking on my behalf if im going to run this race that I SIGNED up for than some things HAVE GOT TO CHANGE. Its not about me living my life …doing the ‘Christian thing’ and waiting for Jesus to rapture me up as the rest of the world burns. Its about my life for his call. Its about PREPARING myself so that my voice can be one whom like John the Baptist BOLDLY proclaims,
“….Prepare the way of the Lord!”
Its about knowing this man in an intimate…real…personal way. Its about being willing to drop all pre-conceived thoughts and asking the intense question..”Jesus…will you be my teacher?…will you show me my part in these last days?” Can you really ask him something so real and straight forward????!…YES! Because Jesus Christ is Real and straight forward. With the urgency of the hour we are in during the elections and the state our generation is in you HAVE to be able to talk to him this way! No second hand info when it comes to revelation concerning the fathers heart. When we have things like a father in California getting thrown into jail because he removed his daughter from school where they were educating her on homosexuality….WE HAVE to know the words that are coming straight from the lips of Jesus. He is not some floating spirit who is WAY up in heaven my friend. He is a man …HE has emotions and his heart is broken. Tears stream from his eyes when another 13 year old takes there life…Do tears fall from your eyes? His heart breaks when another abortion is followed through on…..Is it just more ‘news’ to you? And his jealousy rages when thousands everyday chose to live for other loves and turn there backs on him….Do you have a holy anger that rises up inside and sends you to your knees? …I can only ask him to grant me a heart overflowing with these things…for this is the place you intercede from.
So in closing this post my question for you is this…ARE YOU AWAKE? Or are you running through life right now with a narrow focus only seeing you and your life? Do you understand that as your reading this souls..actual human beings are dying and spending eternity in hell? Do you see that our nation is about to hit a crisis and it will affect you? But most importantly do you realize the REASON you are here?…The reason you have a voice …and what that voice is suppose to be used for? ……….will you be ready?
“Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to AWAKE FROM SLEEP for salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.”- Romans 13:11
