(continued from Part 2)

We are living in a world that is hastening to judgment.  Already the
judgments of God are manifest on every side.

There is a huge Muslim world that has yet to yield a harvest to God.  There
is a Jewish world that is yet to see its Messiah and be saved through His
finished work.

It is not just that you should become a preacher.   Maybe the Lord is saying
to you, "Would you be a prayer partner with Me?  Would you stand with Me?
It will cost you everything, but will you?  Maybe you cannot go, but the
Lord is saying that  you should give more.  I have been in parts of the
world that made me cry.  I've seen servants of the Lord who with just a few
hundred dollars, could do so much more.  Maybe the Lord will send you where
you do not necessarily want to go.  Who would be interested in the kind of
ministry that Isaiah had?

You will never regret responding to the Lord's challenge.  I have met many
Christians in their old age--sour, crabby mean and straight-laced.  They
have settled into a kind of rigidity and are full of regrets.  I have never
met anyone who has responded to the challenge of the Lord who said, "Oh, how
I regret following the Lord!"  Rather, I have met servants of God in their
old age whose mouths are filled with laughter and their hearts with joy.
They heard the Lord's call and they responded.  It cost them everything, but
they have no regrets -- only praise and adoration for the Lord.

Here we are in a nation that needs intercession as it has never needed it
before.  We need people who will pray, not in a fanciful way, but a
genuinely Holy Spirit-burdened way.  May you hear the heart-cry and may you
be enabled to say, as I once said many years ago, "Here am I! Send me."
