It’s Time to be Apostolic

While I do understand that these must be the last days of the Church before the rapture, it is certainly an exciting time to be involved in the Kingdom of God. The darkness of this hour should not discourage us. The state of affairs in our nation today afford us opportunities to minister to hurting people like never before. It's not hard to find someone in need, someone who is searching, looking for the answer to the mess they've made of their life. All God is looking for in our Church is a willing vessel. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to be talented, you just have to be willing to be used and led of the Holy Ghost. I believe we are being led by God into a dimension of the Holy Ghost that we have not been to before, simply because our generation demands more than ever before. In our service last Sunday night was a sovereign move of God, only eternity will tell how lives were changed and affected. This is the time to let God have His way among us. Don't ever let us be guilty of rejecting traditional religious theology while embracing traditional religious procedure in our services. We are unapologetically Apostolic… in doctrine AND in worship. I watched last Sunday night as people worshipped and danced before the Lord, and God manifested Himself mightily. What impressed me the most however was that after a few minutes the shout turned into a deep conviction of the Spirit and people everywhere began to weep and break before God. If we will simply praise him, He will show up every time. Of course we need preaching, there must be a balance, and everything must be done in decency and order. But oh how we need God to direct and control our services. It's time for all of us to determine and commit, "I will be a vessel God can flow through." I don't claim to know exactly where God has us as a local church right now, but I pray that we are entering into a season of reaping the great and final harvest of souls. Times of transition are always a little painful, but I pray God would do whatever it takes to get us to the place where we are seeing the altars tear stained, the baptismal waters troubled, and the pews filled. We've wore a badge of pride for years over being Apostolic in doctrine, "we've got the truth." God didn't give us truth just so we could be right and someone else could be wrong. He gave us this revelation so we could Apostolic in Power. Let's forget those things which are behind, and let's press toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. It is time to be Apostolic.
