A prayer warrior need your prayers.
A prayer warrior needs your prayers.
Most of you know that my entire family came down with Covid in late May and my 95-year-old Mom, Adele, and I both also got Covid pneumonia which really complicated everything. My Mom has continued to struggle, even with stem cell treatments and special IV’s. She was admitted to a hospital again today with a blood clot in her lungs. She is a mighty prayer warrior and woman of God and she is a scrapper too. I was just removed from Oxygen and am believing for a healthy lung x-ray in 6 weeks and to regain my strength. But my Mom’s health and the prayers needed are much more critical and I covet the covering of believers within prayer shot of this plea for favor and healing. Thank you and blessings for your faithfulness.
An Imparted Life for the End Times
There’s a group of Christians the Bible refers to as Overcomers. They’re not perfect, but when they stumble, they get back up and when they drift off track, they return to the narrow way. They work hard to keep their love for Christ alive and their vision fresh. They are increasingly becoming wiser and more enduring. I pray that encapsulates who you are today.
For me personally, there is the call of God upon my life to join in the encouraging and equipping of these overcomers and those who want to be. For among you will come world leaders in the next great outpouring of God’s spirit. You have been created and designed to influence the world around you. Many of us are already aware of this calling.
For those who feel that you lack the means to make a difference, let me say that we are all called to be Overcomers. Don’t worry if you feel you have lost time. God has allowed for an acceleration in the growth rate of many of our spiritual lives today as he has oftentimes in the past.
There’s not one church leader I know that would not agree, we’re living in the end times. Exactly where is debatable. If we have, let’s say a generation or two before the end of the age we should expect to see a divine hastening of spiritual realities.
Isaiah 60:1-3 points to the great manifestation of the Lord’s glory
in the end-time church. Listen to Isaiah’s encouragement:
“I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time”. (verse 22)
Let’s personalized this promise. The Lord is saying that our transformation will be accelerated in the days ahead. Romans 9:28 “for the Lord will execute His word on the earth, thoroughly and quickly”. There is no reason the Lord cannot do things more quickly should he choose to: he created the universe in six days. He grew his disciples, common fisherman, into great men of God in just 3 1/2 years. Isaiah 66:8 “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a nation be born in one day? Can a nation be brought forth all at once? As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons”.
Warriors… this is why we must prevail in prayer!
The New Testament uses two words to describe the concept of time. Chronos refers to chronological time while Kairos is usually translated "fullness of time".
During Kairos Times everything accelerates and changes as reality is redirected by the unalterable will of God. Noah lived in such a time. Moses led Israel out of Egypt during a Kairos time. “Jesus came in the "fullness of time”. Galatians 4:4 and today the world marks its calendar from his birth. Such is the impact of kairos upon the affairs of man.
Isn’t it amazing that Jesus was able to take common, non-religious men and, in just 3 1/2 years, transformed them into powerful apostles? They healed the sick, raised the dead and had deep spiritual substance, and wrote scripture under God’s inspiration. How did they grow so fast? The answer is that the Lord Jesus hastened their growth “in its time”. They were alive during a Kairos time
This rapid growth did not occur because of their superior ability to grasp and implement Jesus’s teaching. Jesus imparted his anointing to them through the Holy Spirit. The end time that is close on the horizon will be a Kairos time meaning our transformation will be accelerated during those days. God is able to do all things and he has opted to work through us under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Next week let’s talk about the impartation of his anointing and what that means and looks like.
Lord continue to help us understand the deeper things of your Spirit. Help us come off the milk to eating the solid meat of your word. Lord help us to pray for an hour this week with our family for a double portion of your anointing.
Lord, please strengthen Adele in her battle with Covid Pneumonia. Bring her home to her family safely and restore her health to her younger days.
