PASTORS DAILY BREAD Winning Souls Should be your number one goal in life James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain My friend, it is time for the Glory. Weve reached the last of the last days. Weve come to the time about which Zechariah prophesied: Ask of the Lord rain in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings, which usher in the rain and give men showers of it, to every one grass in the field (Zech. 10:1, AMP). In this verse, he wasnt just referring to natural rain. He wasnt just talking about natural lightning. He was referring to that bright, shining cloud of Gods Glory that would usher in the outpouring of the Spirit and open the way for the end-time harvest of souls. He was pointing to the same day James referred to in the New Testament. Both Zechariah and James were looking ahead to the time immediately preceding the return of Jesus. Thats our day! Weve reached that time. The Glory is beginning to flash around us and the rain has started to fall. It is awe-inspiring to think that God has chosen us-this generation of believers - to be alive at this moment. He has chosen us to help usher in the Glory. What a great privilege! But with great privilege comes great responsibility. Because of the time in which we live, we cannot afford to just sit around and play church. We cannot afford to wave our hands and flippantly say as some have done in years past, Oh, Glory! without giving any thought to what the Glory actually is. No, it is our responsibility to follow the example of the Apostle Paul and make it our determined purpose to know Him, the Anointed One and His Anointing, to know His burden-removing, yoke-destroying power, and to know the power of His Resurrection, which, according to Romans 6:5, is the Glory of God (Phil. 3:10). Its our responsibility to press on in to Jesus until we come to understand and experience the Glory! (2 Cor. 4:6). Some people shy away from that responsibility. They say, Well, Im not seeking the Glory, Im just content to seek the Lord. But you cant separate the two. You cant separate Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing, from the Glory. You cant separate the Holy Spirit from the Glory. You cant separate the Father from the Glory. They are all One, and They are all glorious! The Glory is the manifestation of God Himself. So seek the Lord and the knowledge of His Glory. Confession: I am patient unto the coming of the Lord, for He is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth and I am winning souls to the Kingdom How many people have you lead to the Lord? PL
