Updated from 2016 because it’s very pertinent today.

I have been seeking The LORD for a relevant encouragement for Pentecost and this is what I believe I hear Him saying to us again today.

“Now is the time!

Now is the hour, the minute, the moment, when you must all choose whom you will serve.

I AM sending My Spirit to you with gifts you have dreamed of but, have not yet believed that you will receive them.

I AM sending My Spirit with Mantles of Anointing you have asked for but you have not expected to receive.

Now is the time to stir up your Faith, to listen to and believe your own prayers.

Did you not mean them when you asked Me?

Did you think your requests were too much to expect from Me?

I have such plans for My Churches — yet your plans do not match mine!

Stretch out your Faith! Expand your tent pegs! Cry out to Me for the true desires of your heart and I will fulfill!

Accept and receive the anointing that I AM sending then stand back and watch Me use you to turn your Towns, your Cities, even your Country around!

Abraham pleaded for the city for just ten righteous men.

I AM telling you that if I find five who are righteous in your meetings, I will use them to break every opposition and yoke of slavery in your Town, and I will send that move of My Spirit for which you have yearned for so long.

Now IS the time!

Reach out, cry out to Me and I will hear your cry and answer you in a way you could not believe — until you see it.

Oh you of so little Faith! I AM waiting on you!

I long to fulfill all that I want to do among you.

The promised move has started already. Lay hands upon it! Receive it!

Church is going to get messy!

Plan for new believers to come to you, and plan to receive them with open arms of Love.

Plan to disciple them.

Love them and remember these two excellent warning quotes — “I find it incredible that Christ would die for the sinner in all their mess yet we’re the ones who look at them and scorn.”

They first arrive with all their mess and baggage — as did most of us when we were first saved.

Also remember that “Only Heaven will tell how many people we turned off to The LORD by how we treat the unsaved and newly saved.”

Treat the newly saved addict, the newly saved street walker, the newly saved homeless person, the newly saved single mum; treat ALL newly saved folk with the same love with which Jesus treats all His prodigals!

Now is the time when The Spirit of God will move upon His people and begin to bring in the harvest called revival.

Lay hold of it while we have the time!”
