Rise Up!

As I look around at all that is going on, like this morning before I started to write this article, I saw on the news a great earth quake hit Turkey and Syria and it said 2500 thus far have been killed. Within that many people we know some of them are Christian I’m sure. We also hear each and every day about people being put in prison or killed for their faith in Jesus Christ. News of our fellow brothers and sisters dying or being torched for their faith comes over our phones all through the day! What do we do with them? Just delete them? This is serious question every follower of Christ including my self-need to answer now instead of waiting until we are ask by our Lord. Have we become so dull in our thoughts of our brothers and sisters overseas or even here that we just delete them like a computer.


Mark 14:38   "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. "

It is time that everyone who call them self a Christian come out of the closet and start to pray! Matthew 21:22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."


We not only pray for our own needs, family needs, but for our bothers and sisters here and around the world. We must remember at any time things right here could change for the worst or worse than it is here already. Our call from the Lord as a Christian is to pray for one another and to remember there is power in the name and blood of Jesus. Those that are unbelievers all over the world need hope and their only hope is in believing in Jesus Christ!


Romans 10:9   "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

This is not a natural concept but a spiritual one and is only understood from our manual for success, the Bible! To be hidden in Christ, you must be born again or if you prefer, born from above!

We are pilgrims just passing through here to our eternal home, but during this journey we have a purpose and plan from our God to complete. Set before us are many paths with many gates. We choose which ones we open. We are not robots. We have a free will.

We need to be very aware we are living in the last of the last days. All around us we see so much evil. Our manual for success (Bible) is very clear about these days in which we are living. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. 2 Timothy 3:1 Perilous times means dangerous and morally corrupt.

I find that many people I minister to are fully earth-bound and are not eternally focused. I’m not talking about unbelievers but Christians!
