Words right from the heart of God are pouring out in these Friday morning Prayer on the Mountain gatherings. Each week we meet new brothers and sisters from around the world. Each week the word from our Father’s heart is voiced anew: “He is coming!”
We have trained and prayed and been vigilant to hold our place on “the wall” and now He is coming, His reward is with Him1 (Isaiah 62:11). The “suddenlies” are headed our way – thundering like a caravan of racing camels. Soon, according to the words coming forth in the meetings, they will overtake us with breathtaking speed.
Are we ready? You better believe we are ready. We have been getting ready for a long time. We realize that the battles on the horizon are not Armageddon but are an acceleration of “wars and rumors of wars”2 (Matthew 24:6). In other words, it is not the end but the beginning of the end. After all of this training we now need to wake up to the fact that it is time to move up to the starting line. We need to get into our positions and lean forward, breathlessly waiting for the sound of the starting gun. Fixing our eyes on Jesus3 (Hebrews 12:2) with all our faculties tinglingly alert and focused, we need to listen for the sound of the starting gun.
As we begin to run, the stored blessings accumulated during the long, hard testings we have endured, will begin to overtake us. We are stepping into the period of time when the “harvest overtakes the planting”4 (Amos 9:13). The time of answers while we are still asking5 (Isaiah 65:24).
We have not seen these days since the Charismatic Movement began in the early 1960’s.
We have not been “as those who dream”6 in a long time (Psalms 126:1). After years of grueling training courses, we are more than ready for our steps to be “bathed in butter”7 (Job 29:6). We are about to see with our own eyes the fulfillment of the word: “Behold I do something new….”8 (Isaiah 42:9, 43:19).
We alive today will see the “new thing”. Oh fortunate brothers and sisters, we have been called and chosen to see the “new…” Something that God Almighty has not done before. How amazing is that! Oh, fortunate ones. Oh, blessed beyond compare. Get ready.
