Today, God has released me to share with you the vision of what the Holy Spirit wants to do in the Church.  Why now? Why you?  Because He has started a work in you and He is ready to continue that work.  Because He knows that you are one among the few who will live this kingdom of heaven life on earth.  If you will receive this vision and work with God the Spirit, then you will help prove that the Body of Christ is alive in the earth.  The witness that will come off of your life.  The power and the anointing of God that will come off of your life will convince any man, any woman that God is real and that he is in the earth today.  People will be able to find Him in you, His Church, His Body in the earth.

God’s presence is placed into earthly vessels – human beings.  God living in your spirit, in you body.  It is awesome.  You are still human.  You are still weak.  You are still tempted.  You still go through.  Yet God has chosen you; it is His will, His plan, His purpose to live in your weak body.  But that is the difference, where you are weak, he is strong; and He will be the strength of your life; He will give you all the power you need to live for Him and carry out His work in the earth. God’s purpose for coming into you is to show His presence and power in the earth.  You are called to work with God the Spirit so that others might see the presence of God in you.

God is ready to do something, are you? In every generation, God gives His people an opportunity to experience His presence and power in the earth. He does this to 1) fulfill His covenant, and 2) to advance His kingdom, the kingdom of God, in the earth. It is no secret; everybody does not take advantage of this opportunity. Some are too busy, too caught up in worldly affairs and too bound by religious tradition. But there are a few in every generation who are hungry enough (spiritually), who are faithful enough, who are bold enough and determined to have all that God has ordained for them. Most of all, they are thankful enough for what God the Son has done for them that they willingly surrender their lives – their all – so to live for God and serve Him in their generation. They are committed and nothing can turn them back. They, Philippians 3:14, “… press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” They want to see the power of God in their lives. They want to experience the presence of God in them, and they do not mind being used by God, the Holy Spirit, to witness and share with others what God has done for them. And to hear them say it, when God demands more from them – more of their lives in consecrated service – their only reply is, I am ready…I am ready, Lord.

Already the enemy has some believing that they can not live Holy for God.  Some have been attacked so hard that they no longer believe that they can live a righteous life for God.  Some have gone through so much that they have given up the idea that they can keep God’s word.  He has attacked your marriage, your children, on your job, your finances, your health, your loved ones.  The enemy wants you to the place where you loose your faith, loose your joy, loose your strength, loose your commitment and determination to live a godly life, loose your commitment and determination to serve God and do His will in the earth.  The enemy wants to see the Church paralyzed in the earth, brought to the place where she can do nothing. You can change that by taking your place in God. Commit to do the will of God and all that the Devil does will be brought to naught.

God created you. He made you what you are. He formed you or fashioned you. He did not make a mistake. Stop fighting yourself. Stop fighting God and learn to trust Him and work with Him. He did not create you to fail. He is your God. You are His people. He will supply all you need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. He created you to succeed. He created you for His glory. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Greater is He that is within you than He that is in the world. You can stand on His promise. You can stand on His word. No word from out of His mouth will return void. God tells us in the midst of our brokenness: “Fear not: … I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.”

God knows that you have nothing in you – that is, in your own power to obey Him. God knows that you have nothing in yourself to enable you to keep His word. He knows that you have nothing in you to keep you from being a failure.  But the thing that is so baffling is, you want open your heart to God to receive what He wants to give you so that you might be all what He wants you to be. Open your heart and hear the word of God. Open your heart and receive what God wants to give you today. He will be your strength. He will be your power. He will be your life. He will be your healing, your victory, your joy, your bridge over trouble waters, all you need Him to be.

How do you deal with failure? What do you do when you let yourself down? How do you deal with those things that you know you can not change? You know that you have nothing in you to help you to overcome. Answer: Be honest!  Be….honest! Father, I have failed. Lord, I am weak. God, this is too much for me to handle. I want to do what is right. I want to obey. I want to serve you. I want to be blessed. I want to see my family blessed but Lord I have failed. Beloved, the greater sin is not in failing, for we all have failed. The greater sin is not in being weak, for we all are weak right now. The greater sin has to do with your not accepting what God wants to give you to overcome…to be successful…to obey Him. He wants to give to you His grace and His power. The greater sin has to do with your knowing that you can not obey God and keep His word in your own power, yet you do not open your heart to receive His power and grace to enable you to do what He wants you to do.

Beloved, God cares, no matter how poor you are. God cares, no matter how low you have fallen. God cares, no matter how dry your desert places. God cares, no matter how dark your night. God cares, no matter how men may mistreat you. God cares, no matter how hard the trial. God cares, no matter how deep the hurt.  God cares, no matter how hard the enemy fights against you. God cares, no matter how deep your valleys. God cares. So do not give up. Come before God with your faith. Do not let what’s happening to you to bring you down. But stand. Believe to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Jesus moved with compassion saw the multitude and called them the harvest.  O God, give the Church your eyes today.  Give us your heart.  Fill us with your compassion.  For we see the multitude and all we see is drunkards; we see the multitude and all we see is the homeless; we see the multitude and can only see the addict; we see the multitude and can only see the prisoners; we see the multitude and can only see prostitutes. Christ saw a harvest.  But we stand paralyzed; we can not go forth to do His will because all we can see is those people who we do not want to have any dealing with. God sees lost souls.  But we can only see those who we say do not need any help.

What price?  The price of self-denial.  The price of sacrifice.  The price of loving God with your all and loving your neighbor as you love yourself. The price of picking up your cross and following Christ daily. The price of suffering for righteousness sake. The price of forgiving. The price of doing the will of God and not your own. The price of laying down your life and dieing daily so that God can reach and touch the fields of harvest though you. You can not begin reaping the harvest without first making up your mind to pay whatever price you must pay. Let nothing stop you from giving your all to see that the will and the work of God is done on earth. Let nothing come between you and what God has called you out of the world to do for His glory.  As HE IS, so are we in the earth.
