STAND UP

By Rick Mathes

Acts 2:14 But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words”

There is a lot of needless pontificating in too many pulpits these days. The preachers of this post-Christian era are only showmen putting on the performance they expect you to pay for and return for more. How shameful can it be for us to face Jesus knowing this happens and having done nothing about it? These synagogues of Satan prosper because stupid underfed sheep go to the other side of the fence with the devil’s smile to welcome them. All this happens because today’s preachers don’t have the “spiritual T” to preach repent, submit and obey!

Take a stand! Ministers of America clean up your own backyard before you go to other nations and tell them how to clean up their backyards. Have the courage of Peter to speak up the gospel of Jesus: nothing more and nothing less. When Paul passed the baton to Timothy, the future of our faith went with it. Now it has been passed on to you. Don’t drop it! I guarantee you, every soul in heaven would exchange places with you in a heartbeat to be in the Last Days with our Lord.

You must rise up your voice and let the world know that you are in Jesus as your Lord. It only takes one match to light a universal It only took one Paul to turn the Roman Empire upside down. As the name “The David” in known in New York as “Trump” is known around the world, it is nothing compared to the name of Paul! I might add, your name is known in heaven!

How can they be saved unless they hear the good news and how can they hear it if you don’t declare it to them. The Word teaches that you are a new creature; you have the ministry of reconciliation and have become an ambassador for the King. When people get to know you do they get to know Jesus?

Make know that the time of our redemption is near. Whisper it in the shadows and shout it from the rooftops! And while you are in this state of mind, just stop, stand still and listen. Not only will you hear the endless echo of your own words from the mouths of others but you will hear the precious words of Jesus say, “I love you” in the soft hush of His creation surrounding you. In the trees, the sky and in the wind is the eternal Word of God, “It is finished.” For you, if you will stand up His Return will be seen on the horizon.
