Time is drawing close!!

We have never had a time for sharing Christ like we have this year. The state of the economy is in horrible shape. Many have lost their jobs and many have divorced their wives or committed suicide. Yet, some will not stand up in such a time because the “bad” news has not yet touched them. The Scripture the Lord laid on my heart in a dream was II Chronicles 7:14. In this Scripture, we are the ones who need to humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from OUR wicked ways, THEN God will hear from heaven, and will forgive our sin, and will heal our land.

That puts the pressure on us the people of God to bring about a change in our country. With Mardi Gras, we have an opportunity to go forth and share with the people the only thing that is solid in this world and that is Jesus. Jesus promises that if we will go forward and lift HIM up that He will do the drawing and draw all of us to Himself. I know God always keeps His promises.

Now the real question is whether or not we will be willing to join up and go forth to share the Lord at the Mardi Gras. No matter how bad the situation is in our country or in the world. It is God’s will that NONE should perish. Since we know this is true, we just need to be like Isaiah in Isaiah chapter six and hear the Lord saying,

“WHOM SHALL I SEND AND WHO WILL GO FOR ME?”

Let’s be like Isaiah and realize we all need to be touched with the tongues of the altar to forgive our sins and answer,

“HERE AM I; SEND ME!”

SEE YOU AT THE MARDI GRAS!!!!!!!!!
