For the past few weeks we have positioned ourselves in Daytona Village’s parking lot, reaching out to the lost and backslidden. We represented God as ambassadors, yet God has give us a mandate to reach the lost at any cost. We have no excuse, for the commission is to go…Matt. 28:19 – Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (2 Cor. 5:20)
Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! (1 Cor 9:16)
In the weeks that Faith In Action was there, we prayed for and reached many people through the gospel. We had a prayerwalk around the apartment complex, tearing down stronghold, being “violent” for the Kingdom of God. How violent Christ was about or salvation! He was in agony: He “continued all night in prayer” (Luke 6:12). He wept, fasted, and died a violent death; He rose violently from the grave Was Christ so violent about for our salvation, and does it not become us to be violent for the souls of man? Christ’s violence was not only satisfactory, but exemplary. It was not only to appease God, but to teach us. Christ was violent in dying to teach us to be violent in believing.
Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit and prayer, people were set free from demonic strongholds and oppression. There were times when we sensed the fire of God burning within us as we agonized for this neighborhood. Hell was not an option for this place.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (1 Cor 2:3,4)
We must do all within our means, through the will of the Holy Spirit to stop, prevent or deter these men and women from the tortures of hell! Can we expect to do any less?
The Spirit of God is clearing the way for a great move of God. We are praying for revival. Good News from the Spirit! Revival is Coming! People are Praying! This is the Year of The Opened Door! and the Flood Gates (Doors) of Heaven are Open! If you want to be apart of what is coming its not too late, Draw Near to God and He will Draw Near to You, take your place in Prayer and by doing so you will be taking your place in the Revival that is coming. But it will only come as we become prostrate before the Lord in intercession and supplication for the lost.
On the last day, we felt the storm brewing, for in times past we have had dozens of people coming forward for prayer, re-dedication and salvation; on this night though, all was quiet all around, yet something was brewing…..God was up to something. We have realized that this was not we can do or say, but all through the power of God. The pastor taught on hell and the fire of God, and one could sense the heat… “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. (Zech 4:6)
As Christians we need the fire of God to ignite our passion and we need to preach the hell-fire of God to ignite this lost world, as EM Bounds says….Christian character needs to be set on fire. Lack of heat makes more infidels than lack of faith. Not to be in fiery earnest about the things of heaven is not to be about them at all. The fiery souls are the ones that win in the heavenly fight. Nothing short of red hot can keep the glow of heaven in these chilly times. We must grasp the live coal and covet the consuming flame.
Pray for this ministry as we go forth to do what God has called us to do, to be:
(1) fully surrendered..
(2) men & Women of prayer,
(3) student of the Word of God,
(4) humble
(5) free from love of money,
(6) consuming passion for the lost,
(7) definite enduement with power from on high.
The world is yet to see what one man or woman totally consecrated to God can do.
We have to represent…..

You forgot to mention the most important thing – what the Most High Lord God of All Creation wants you to do is Keep His Holy Laws.
IF the Christian Churches and Organizations were in full compliance with Holy Law, our world would not be in the situation that it is in.
It is Knowledge and Vision NOT belief and faith!
Without doubt you probably mean well, but meaning well and DOING as the Most High Lord God of All Creation requires are two different things! There are many well meaning people burning in Hell.
Should you like to see a picture, one can be found at http://theakurians.com/pictureofhell.htm.
I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHO YOUR “MOST HIGH LORD GOD IS”….BUT MY LORD IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND IN HIS BOOK IT SAYS….
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. HEB 11:6
YES THERE ARE WELL MEANING PEOPLE BURNING IN HELL….BUT OUR JOB AS CHRISTIANS IS TO SHOW THEM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE THAT CAN BE FOUND THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE AND REVELATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT…..LET’S ENCOURAGE, NOT DISCOURAGE…THE TIME IS SHORT AND WE HAVE A MANDATE TO REACH THE LOST……NOT ARGUE AND FIGHT AMOUNG EACH OTHER ABOUT DOCTRINE……
MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND MAY GOD CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU…..AMEN
