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.
