NOW IS THE TIME
2 Corinthians 6:2 says, "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
From what I am reading and hearing the buzz word for this moment of time is NOW. Now is the time for the nations of the world, who do not want to be ruled by the deluded terrorist group called ISIS and other terrorist groups, to act and do something of substance to defeat them. RIGHT NOW is the time.
We do not have time for long dialogue or drawn out committee meetings. I read an article this morning from CNN of a young man who only two weeks ago defected from ISIS because the group was "spreading injustice in the name of justice." However, he still believes in their ideology. Thousands of foreigners are estimated to have joined their ranks, including USA and UK.
Just as the world realizes, hopefully, that NOW IS THE TIME to wake up to action, so as Christians we must also realize the importance of NOW. Now is the time for us to take military action in the spirit realm. Now is the time for us to pray as families for those who are being downtrodden, beaten, and persecuted.
Now is NOT the time for coffee and tea gatherings or prayer breakfasts where we do more talking and breakfasting than praying. Now is not the time for levity, laughing, joking and telling funny stories.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET SERIOUS AND ARM OUSELVES TO DO BATTLE.
Be encouraged.
