I realize that some of you out there may be reading this with a doubtful smirk upon your face with a slight nod of the head. Well just let me explain.
I think most would agree that the light of righteousness is on the verge of getting brighter. It may not be as of yet but there is a tangible presence in the air around praying churches that God is moving, and about to move powerfully.
Think about this: the signs of the time are getting clearly discernable. It doesn’t take a whole lot to read the news and know that stuff is bad and getting worse. Jesus said that if you can discern the seasons, spring and summer, fall and winter, then you can discern when the end is near. Ah, you may say, the newspapers are always bad. Correct! But, never have we seen events so bad across the entire globe. Isolated and regional bad news is not the same as global transition to complete collapse. Think about this: the Russian president is calling for a globalized currency this month with many national leaders. If you’ve been reading world news you know the end is near.
I’m not a doomsday kind of guy but I am a realist. I really am just wanting to make one clear point here. As things get worse and worse and fear is at every corner there is one thing that will get better and better; the church. As the darkness get darker the brightness and the righteous acts of the saints are going to get bright and white hot. There is only one time in human history that the church world wide will be so extravagently beautiful as to be clearly discernable to the world, that time is almost upon us. Thanks be to God who will shine on us as we run the race set before us. The next time you are quickened to the sobriety of the present moment, rejoice! God is about to put His bride on display.
