IT’S TIME!!

By Helen Jesze, 25^th September 2020

“Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and to Him, and to require His favour, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you,”

Hosea 10, 12b (Amplified Bible)

It’s time to seek the Lord !

It’s time to get out of the boat and walk on the water!

“Come, he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.”

Matt. 14, 29 NIV

It’s time to light the lamp of God’s Word, sweep our spiritual house and find the precious things we have lost!

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?”

Luke 15, 8 NIV

It’s time to go after the lost sheep!

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it,”

Luke 15, 4 NIV

It’s time to believe God!

“…Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing,”

Mark 5, 36 Ampl. Bible

It’s time to get rid of those friends who are holding us back !

“Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, separate yourselves from them, says the LORD”

2 Cor. 6, 17 NLT

It’s time to pick up the tools we laid down in discouragement and go forward!

“…but one thing I do (it is my one aspiration): forgetting what lies behind…I press on toward the goal to win the (supreme and heavenly ) prize…”

Phil. 3, 14 + 14 Amp. Bible

It’s time to put disappointment and grief behind us and reach out for the good things God has in store for us!

It’s time to let God heal your broken heart!

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me (the Anointed One, the Messiah) to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent me to announce release to the captives … to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed (who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity)…”

Luke 4, 18b

It’s time to catch the vision the Holy Spirit is trying to impart to us!

“Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,”

Acts 26, 19 ESV

It’s time to let God have His way in us!

“Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you,”

Psalms 32, 9 NIV

It’s time to awake out of spiritual sleep!

“Besides you know what (a critical) hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here,”

Romans 13, 11 + 12b Ampl. Bible

“Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

Ephesians 5, 14 NKJV

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us to recognise the times we are living in. Make us – men and women – like the “men of Issachar who had understanding of the times and knew what the nation of Israel should do”. If we have been spiritually slumbering, help us to awake and rise up, that your light might blaze in our hearts and minds, healing and delivering us, giving us divine revelation, to fulfil what you want us to do and enter into our destiny for the next part of the journey!
In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
