My wife and I were sitting in church this past Sunday morning, on July 13, 2008, as well we should have. We were not in our local church body, but were visiting a church in a neighboring city. Praise and Worship was over and we were supposed to be listening to the Pastor give the announcement, introductions, etc.
I felt the Lord start speaking to me as He usually does – quickly, succinctly, and interruptingly. So I started writing it down, as I usually do. Normally, I sort of “sense/hear” what He is saying. He will then go into greater detail with a “fleshed-out” word later.
Bottom line is as follows, word for word. He even shows me the exclamation points, commas, etc. Even the grammatically incorrect phrases appear to me during these times. Anyway, here it is.
“You have heard about it; you have read about it, some of you prayed for it, fasted for it, yearned for it, ached for it!
Well, it is here! Do not continue to pray for it; pray, yes, but not for it to come – but that it grow, grow, GROW ! Yes, fast for it – but not for it to come – but that is grow, grow, GROW!
IT IS HERE!
Now – so it’s time to stop waiting – it’s time to GO and DO!
Yes, there will be those who stay to fast and pray, but even those I tell to GO! In the spirit to whenever and wherever God tells you to go and do; the other 90% of you must GO and DO physically, spiritually, and mightily.
GO & DO!
