Being a Determined Church We see in these last days the prophecies in God's Word being fulfilled. I Tim. 4 talks about how people will turn from the truth of God's Word giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. More and more everyday this prophecy is being fulfilled. But we are also seeing the prophecy of God of Him pouring out of His spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28) coming to pass. God desires to bless His people, He desires to bring REVIVAL to His children, but there is one thing that we must do to receive what God has for us. We must be determined to become the church that He wants us to be. People are crying out for a move of God. People need to know there is hope. That hope I am talking about is Jesus. The church today must become DETERMINED to reach out to a lost and dying world to let them know about the saving GRACE of our Lord and Savior. We must first realize that His church is not a church building made with hands. (Acts 17:24) The church is the people of God, His children, blood bought, born-again Saints of God. We are His temple. (I Cor. 3:16) We as the body of Christ, His arms, His legs, His voice must regain our determination to reach the lost. Our goal should be to reach the sinner with the message of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus. Do you want to see people saved, set free, delivered, redeemed. It’s time for the body of Christ to unite. Lay aside our denominational differences and join forces and minister the message of salvation. It’s time to catch a hold of what I call the Bartemeaus determination. We read in Mark 10:46-52 about blind Bartemeaus who made a decision to receive from Jesus, no matter what he had to do. He became DETERMINED to get Jesus’ attention. As he heard about what was taking place through the ministry of Jesus his faith began to grow. I believe he was praying and asking God to bring Jesus down that road. Bartemeaus sat along the side of that road begging, he heard that Jesus, the one in whom he had heard about was coming down the road he was on. So he determined that Jesus was not going to get by without him receiving from the Lord. As Jesus approached Bartemeaus’s faith grew. He stood up and began to scream out “Jesus, thou son of David; have mercy on me” (vs. 47). The people around him told him to be still, but he cried out all the more, “Thou Son of David; have mercy on me” (vs. 48). This caught the attention of Jesus. And we see by the rest of the story that Bartemeaus did receive his sight. It was by his faith of DETERMINATION. Bartemeaus got results because he didn’t let the world talk him out of receiving. We must also decide to do the same thing no matter what the enemy throws at us. We are I a war, not a scuffle. We are Soldiers in the army of God. We have to gain the Bartemeaus DETERMINATION. If we do, we will see results. Souls will be saved, People will be healed, set free from hurts etc… So as the children of God, lets step out and be DETERMINED to reach our towns, our communities, our neighbors with the LOVE of God, and then and only then will the Kingdom of God be built. In Christ; Pastor David Moore Jn. 14:6
