Jesus Is Coming! Are You Ready?

God has a purpose for everything... This whole deal with death has stirred my spirit. I know God intended for this tragedy to push me into a spiritual reality. Yes my uncle was sick and my grandfather was old, but life is a gift that can be taken in an instant. It is not to be taken for granted and to be used wisely.

We are getting ready to have a huge revival with a man who is very radical in his message. When I listened to part of his CD last night something snapped inside of my spirit. Something begin to rise up in me and his words began to breed a spiritual awakening in me. My prayers the last few weeks have been to wake up the church. This spirit of casualness has to go. I feel it in my spirit and God has been talking to me and telling me, "Don't they know I will come like a thief in the night?" Tell my people I am coming. WAKE UP!!! God kept saying to me over and over. He meant for my spirit to wake up and rise up and to take His words to the city of Hollister and tell the lost He is coming.

I know we have heard this all of our lives and we witness here and there, but there is an urgency in my heart to stop being casual about it. I feel like bursting out and preaching on the street corner and screaming from the top of my lungs, Get READY!!!! God is coming!!! It's time to stop being polite and politically correct. Someone has to get bold and tell it like it is. Our city is lost and going to hell. WE are the ones who are responsible to reach them before its too late. I am sometimes so distracted with keeping my own family saved I forget about the millions of those around me who are lost and need me to wake up and forget about myself and throw them a life line so to speak.

I wish I could take the city by it's shoulders and shake it and say WAKE UP!!!!! Then I realize we, the church, have to wake up first and get it together and get prayed up and full of the Holy Ghost and then we can be sent out into this city and reach the lost and dying souls. I'm not a preacher but I sure wish I could preach this message burning in my soul today.

Are you ready? Get Ready! God is coming and our city needs us to wake up and tell them Jesus is coming. We don't have time to waste. We have to pray like we never have. We have to fast like we never have. We have to sacrifice like we never have. To much given, much is required.

God is sending Bro. Max Maddox to Hollister for a reason. It is our job to prepare the way for him. This is God sending this man to help us save our city. He will give us tools, but we have to be prepared to pay the price for OUR city. God gave us this city, now we have to take it by force...I am so fired up about this.. I can't wait to get to prayer to begin to intercede again for this city. To travail for the lost souls of this city. That is my position in this boot camp.

Prayer warrior... Who wants to sign up????? I know I'm intense today, but I don't apologize. God has blessed me by waking me up and giving me a burning desire to win our city before its too late. The time we think we have is gone.....
