Tuesday's Service

The service on Tuesday night at Anchor of Hope Church in Willisburg, KY was awesome.  The anointing of the Spirit was very evident in every segment of the meeting.  You could sense the spirit of anticipation as people gathered (some of them were very early) to seek after the presence of God.  I truly believe that God is awakening the "spirit of anticipation" among us; we must come into the presence of God believing and knowing that God is prepared to hear and meet the cry of our hearts.

I was awakened this morning with this inspiration.  The Lord confirmed to me that He is at work in the hearts of people.  In some cases and in some locations the people of God have grown content with the status quo and they have lost their passion for Christ and for the ministry that Christ released in this world.  But during the service last night I recognized something that needs to be declared publicly.  There is a "remnant" of the family of God who does hear the Voice of God and they are prepared to follow after Him regardless of the attitudes of other members of the Body of Christ.  Many of us are recognizing the desperate times in which we are living and we will no longer stand idly by and allow the enemy to take more spiritual territory.  I recognized this last night as people from various age groups, male and female, and members of various local churches in the community  began to turn their hearts toward God in an unified response to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.  The altar was full of people seeking for a deeper relationship with God.  People were seeking to be free from all that was hindering their walk with Christ.  I want to speak to all people who are sensing the urgency of the moment deep in your heart; do not be discouraged, do not allow hindrances to slow down your pursuit of God, do not allow the opinion of others dissuade you from obedience, do not allow the whispers of the enemy to intimidate you, and do not allow the "religious" crowd's response to the move of God stop you from your pursuit of God.  This is the day to arise from spiritual slumber and shake off the heavy chains of despair and defeat and follow after God with passion and fervency.  This risk of our faith will produce a great spiritual reward.  Ephesians 6:12, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."
