WATCH AND PRAY part two
1. On three occasions, JESUS warned the CHURCH to WATCH AND PRAY. ONE, in reference to His appearance to receive His BRIDE, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, WATCH AND PRAY: for ye know not when the time is. ... Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping" [Mark 13:32-33,36] TWO, at GETHSEMANE, where JESUS travailed in PRAYER before His death on the Cross, "WATCH AND PRAY, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" [Matthew 26:41] THREE, after FORETELLING distress and instabilities preceding His RETURN, upon the world and CHURCH, JESUS said to His disciples, "WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" [Luke 21:36] In all three instances, "WATCH" emphasised a REVIVAL, a heightened AWARENESS of what to LOOK FOR.
2. There is so much going on; wars and rumours of war, fears of what lies ahead and diverse instabilities. Not knowing what to WATCH, many are distracted and railroaded into confusion. FIRST thing to WATCH at such a time as this, is WHAT GOD IS DOING, "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but HE REVEALETH HIS SECRET UNTO HIS SERVANTS, the PROPHETS" [Amos 3:7] In the midst of global distress, beginning of sorrows, God is working out the GREAT REVIVAL; the final of the GOSPEL in all nations, "All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS. ... And this GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLDd for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" [Matthew 24:8,14] The REVIVAL, orchestrated by outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT as spoken by Prophet JOEL, Joel 2:28-29, has alighted in the most unexpected nations; China, Nepal, Iran, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh among others, "The PEOPLE THAT WALKED IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined" [Isaiah 9:2] I charge you to keep your EYES on WHAT GOD IS DOING, it's going to be a SHORT WORK and you will not be disappointed at His appearance, "For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH" []Romans 9:28]
3. There is a lot going on in the world right now, not the least because Satan is CAST DOWN and ANGRY, "... for the ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. ... having GREAT WRATH, because he knoweth that he hath but A SHORT TIME" [Revelation 12:10,12] SECOND thing to WATCH, as we navigate the last days of this dying world are the antics of Satan. SPIRIT of the ACCUSER is at war against the nations, turning them against one with shameless ACCUSATIONS. The ACCUSER, working through THOUGHTS and IMAGINATION, Is the reason there are divisions and strife in the fold; we are quick to bring damaging ACCUSATIONS against Brethren without hearing from the other party. How then shall we WATCH not to talk of PRAY when with a "BEAM" in our eyes, we point accusing fingers at the mote in others, "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the BEAM OUT OF THINE OWN EYE; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER'S EYE" [Matthew 7:5] I challenge you to be REVIVED in your inner man, WATCH that, "... that ye may be able to stand against the WILES OF THE DEVILl. For WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" [Ephesians 6:11-12]
4. We live at a time of unparalleled CONTRASTS; Satan is raising hell on earth, God is pushing the GREAT REVIVAL to SAVE and prepare His BRIDE. The common denominator in all these and THIRD thing to WATCH is your SOUL. If you are not BORN AGAIN, you have no "EYES" to "WATCH" and are as a blind man, easily led astray by blind "LEADERS", "... Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?" [Luke 6:39] The GREAT REVIVAL is God's final push to SAVE your SOUL by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS CHRIST; REPENT of your SIN and. accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Saviour today, it is free, "For BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast" [Ephesians 2:8-9] ARE you BORN AGAIN?, WATCH and daily EXAMINE yourself to SEE and put away all "WEIGHTS", SIN and DISTRACTIONS, preparing for that glorious day when we shall be TRANSLATED to be with Lord. Therefore, "BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world" [1 Peter 5:8-9]
I challenge you to be part of WHAT GOD IS DOING; join us on ZOOM every WEDNESDAY to pray down the GREAT REVIVAL.
