Get Off Your Assumptions!

Out of the Darkness
It's time to stand up for what I believe
Put away my hurts and no longer grieve
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; Isaiah 61:1 NASB
The time has come to stand up for what I believe. To answer the call that has been placed on my heart. To get off my assumptions and throw tradition in the trash! To get in the trenches and love the hurting. To show them that Jesus is the only answer!
We have been going to meetings at the church that speak of the end times. When I was a little girl we would go to Daniel and Revelation meetings and I would be so scared that I wouold not sleep at night because I was afraid of the end times!
Fear does not make it go away, it only makes me afraid! The Bible speaks of the end times and anyone who has ever read a book or turned on the tv probably knows something about it. So what do we need to do to prepare for the end times? First we need to pray and ask God what HE wants us to do. Then we need to do it.
To react to the end times out of fear only makes you fearful. To spend your time watching for signs and wonders only makes you....somewhat...watchful! What about those who don't know Jesus? It is my responsibility and yours as Christians to get off our assumptions that someone else is going to do it, and get in the trenches and lead people to Jesus! Don't expect them to come to you!
Recently I spoke of a dream and the battlefield in that dream. That battlefield is right in front of our very eyes and it is up to you and I to turn to the person next to you and show them Jesus. It may not be in audible words, but it needs to be in the way we live our lives! You cannot force this down their throats with your Bible knowledge. Pray and ask Jesus to give you the words and show you what needs to be done. Talk to God...then shut up and listen! Then be willing to do whatever it is that He asks you to do!
Are you willing to walk onto that battlefield?
