Day 27

Last night in our briefing, we started talking about signs of the times. We were talking about all the things that are going on in Israel, Iraq and Iran et al. looking at how quickly we could see another world war. We were all feeling a soberness on the room. And then one of the guys in the group asked, ‘if we know that all of these things have to happen, wars and rumors of wars and ¼ of the earth dying, then how do we pray?” It was one of those times when you know that you have to pray right now, but when these events start breaking out, what could you possibly pray? Instantly, I felt the answer hit my heart. Salvation. If ¼ of the earth or more will die then we need as many of those people to be saved as possible. Not so that we could have cool meetings and big churches, but so millions and millions of people don’t spend eternity in the lake of fire. For the past two days, I have been gripped to pray for salvation. The Lord does not desire that any should perish, but that all should come to eternal life. That includes both Jews and Muslims, Americans and Asians, everyone. So, the beholding verse of the day comes from this line of thought. It is short and simple. I am making it a declaration on the Web for all to see. 2 Corinthians 6:2,

“Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.”

I declare it to a hurting world that is about to tear itself apart. Today is the day of salvation. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart.
