I wonder if you have noticed that God is on the move. He is lighting fires, changing lives and His Spirit is sweeping across the world with a force and fury wondrous to behold!
You may be asking yourself…”Where is this movement?”
And unfortunately many churches in North America are befuddled when they hear people speaking about God’s mighty movements. But this is not because it isn’t happening, but mostly because we aren’t getting on board with what God is doing!
In the church of the Nazarene around the world, we are seeing sometimes 500 or 1000 churches starting each year in various zones/districts. This is because of the Spirit of God wooing people to Him and believers being obedient to the calling and direction God is putting on their lives.
In America I believe that it is starting too. And we can choose to get on God’s side, or be left behind.
God is stirring in people’s hearts the desire to speak of His wondrous story to those who will listen. Not waiting for them to come to a church building or get comfortable in a seeker sensitive area. But just going in love and boldness and proclaiming: “The Kingdom of God is near, repent!”.
I pray that I will be a part of that which God is doing and that we can snatch from the very clutches of hell those who need God’s redemption and we can allow God’s Spirit to move within in us to such a degree that no one could deny that God is moving to seek and save the lost!
Remember God’s heart beat is….’none; all; none; all; thump; thump; none; all”:
God’s heartbeat is that none should perish but all would come to repentance and salvation.
How have you seen God working and moving in your midst?
