(Highlighted Scripture: St. John 2: 5)
It was the night of January 2, 2012 (Monday) heading into the morning of January 3, 2012 (Tuesday), when God showed me the vision of the The Great Falling Away. For the course of the next two weeks, God provided the details, revelation and insight pertaining to the vision. Afterwards, God begin to deal with me about sharing what he showed me with the "entire Body of Christ", on a global scale.
Now I must confess even though God spoke this to me, my initial thoughts were to share it with a few friends, loved ones and my local church family (Washington Park Church of God in Orlando, FL) and that would be it. Once I begin to share it with friends and loved ones, God open a door for me to share the vision and it's details live on the radio on Rejoice 1140am with Grace Worthy Ministries. Afterwards I had the opportunity to share with my local church. This is when I saw God move in a way I have never seen before in my entire life!!! Once I shared the vision, people literally rushed and flooded the alter. People were literally almost stumbling and tripping over one another trying to find a spot on the alter to kneel. As the alter filled, people began to kneel on the front pews. As the front pews filled, people began kneeling wherever they could find a place....in the middle of the floor...in the isles...at their seats...wherever they could! Almost ever soul in the entire church began to cry out to God with all their might!!....ministers...deacons....mothers....members.....even guest and visitors were crying out to Lord! I've NEVER seen anything like it!! The spirit of repentance and revival bombarded the sanctuary!! Lives were being changed and transformed. People were being renewed, restored, refreshed and rejuvenated spiritually. People were resubmitting, re-yielding, rededicating and recommitting themselves to God! It was as if everyone had had a "Great Spiritual Awakening" and was experiencing "Person Revival" in their own individual lives!
Then the Lord began to deal with me even more. He spoke to me and said, "This is why you must share the vision and the revelation with the ENTIRE Body of Christ." God knew my heart. He knew my thoughts. He knew that I wasn't serious (at that time) about taking this word globally. God continued to speak to me and told me, that every believer that will hear, receive and adhere to this word, will experience a Personal Revival in their own individual lives and those that do not receive, but have read, will be held accountable. (it's coming up again in Judgement). Can you imagine if every believer in this entire world, experienced personal revival all at the same time....or about/around the same time??? Can you imagine how the Glory of God would overshadow the face of this earth??? Can you imagine how the the power of God would sweep across this world??? Can you imagine how God would move in and upon this land??? It would be the real life manifestation of 2 Chronicles 7:14!!......"If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land!"......Not only that, but Joel 2: 28 would also be manifested......"And it shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions!" God then let me know, that as each believer experiences "personal revival", this will then cause a Great Spiritual Awakening to breath forth in The Church (world wide).
Now I must confess again, I began to toil with God in my spirit about this. I told God, "First of all I don't even know where to start. I don't even know how to get this message to the entire Body of Christ. Secondly, this is a very important message that the church needs to hear, but if I share it, people may not take it seriously, because no one knows who I am." (Let me be ebonic for a minute)......I told God, "I ain't nobody big or special. I'm just a lil chubby country boy from Bushnell, FL (Sumter County), who now lives in Orlando, FL. They (The Church) may not receive this word from me. There are more popular preachers and more well known ministers, with much bigger names, with way more influence, that carries more clout and weight in The Church and huge followings, that people (The Church) will be more willing to receive and accept this word from. It may not be effective if I tell them." The Lord responded to me and informed me that He could have chosen anybody in the entire world for this assignment, but He chose me!....Oh my God, just the thought of that last statement is bringing tears to my eyes.....The Lord went on to tell me that it wasn't my job to produce the "Revival" and the "Great Awakening". However, my job is simply/only to share what He showed me and that it was His job is to produce the "Revival" and the "Great Awakening"! Further more God explained to me that He can't do His job, until I do my job. However, If I didn't do my job, He will find someone that will. It was then that I repented for my hesitation to obey God, accepted the assignment and decided that I didn't want God to have to find someone else. I wanted to be that someone!...I AM that someone!!!
God then gave me inspiration to start this Blog as an attempt to obey him and as an effort to accomplish the task that He had assigned to my hands. The blog has been running for seven weeks now and in those seven weeks, God has allowed it to viewed 730 times and by 9 different countries - and counting.
(USA = 701 ; UK = 11 ; Russia = 6 ; Mauritius = 5 ; Germany = 4 ; Maylasia = 2 ; Bahamas = 2 ; Canada = 2 ; South Africa = 1)
I've said all that, to say this, "Whatever God is calling you to do in this last hour, DO IT!!!" Whatever God has assigned your hands to do, DO IT!!! Whatever mandate God has placed on your life, DO IT!!! Whatever God is speaking into your spirit and dealing with you about, DO IT!!! You may not have the backing or the support you'd like to have, but DO IT ANYHOW!!! You may not have all the resources you feel you need, but DO IT ANYWAY!!! You may not get the response you're looking for, but go ahead and DO IT!!! Many people may not believe God sent you, but get up and DO IT!!! Many people may not hear or receive, but yet and still, DO IT!!! You may encounter mochers, scoffers, nay sayers, and even hatters, but you've got to DO IT!!! No matter how large it seems or no matter how small you may think it is, JUST DO IT!!!
In our Foundational Text, Jesus and His disciples are guests at a wedding, but they had no wine at the wedding. Mary, Jesus' mother turns to Him and says, "They have no wine". Jesus' responded, "It is not my time yet.", meaning it wasn't time for Him to step to the for front with regard to His ministry. Mary did not exchange words with Jesus. She immediately turned to the servants and said, "Whatever He says, do it! (St. John 2: 5)" Even though it may not have been Jesus' time, however, there still was a need. Anytime (and anywhere) there is a need, the Lord is provoked to move. Jesus then instructed the servants to go fill some water pots with water and serve it to the guests. The servants obeyed the voice of the Lord and somewhere between filling the pots with water and serving it to the guests, the water had been turned into wine. Their obedience to the Lord had brought forth a miracle!
That overwhelming unction that you keep feeling on the inside is God tugging on your heart and pulling on your spirit, trying to provoke to action. That unquenchable urge that you keep feeling in the pit of your stomach is God, trying to inspire to move. I submit to you, that your next miracle will come as a direct result, of your obedience to what God is calling you to do right now! The next move of God for your life depends on your willingness to obey what God is dealing with you on and instructing you to do now. Sometimes God calls us to things that seems to for fetched an unrealistic at times. Sometimes it seems like He's speaking something to us that is to big and to daunting of a task to carry out. Sometimes the assignments that God calls us to can be extremely overwhelming. Sometimes it seems that what God is asking of us is unobtainable and unachievable. Sometimes it seems that we're to insignificant and to inadequate to accomplish to the assignment. You may not even know exactly what to do or how to do it, but if you come to God with a willing heart and an obedient spirit, God is able to lead and guide you through the process. He's able to direct you through the process. He just wants to know if you're willing to follow Him through it. Once you start, it may even seem like what you're doing isn't effective - it's not working. It may seem like you're not making a difference. It may seem like no one else is concerned about this matter but you. It may seem like no one else cares but you. However, I have a word from the Lord for you today, if you produce the obedience, God will produce the results! Whatever vision God has given you and/or placed in your spirit, He will also make provision, so that the vision can come to pass!
Then there are other times when it seems that God has instructed you to do something that seems insignificant and unimportant. However, I want to encourage you and let you know, if God is speaking to you and dealing with you about it, than there is a need for what He is calling you to do. And just like at the wedding from our Foundational Text, God has been provoked to move on behalf of that need and He has chosen to move through you! He could have chosen anybody on the face of this earth, but He chose you! Your obedience to what He is calling you to do at this moment, will produce the next blessing and breakthrough in your life.......WHATEVER "HE" SAYS, DO IT!!!!!!
