Dale:
We're living in the day when the Father is reaching out and collecting all creation, and drawing it under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. And it's beautiful to see it happen that He's manifesting Himself. Private industry, banking industry, there's that term of the seven realms that God is taking over in the health industry, God's taking it over and bringing it under subjection to His Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Ron:
I think everybody's witnessed what's happened recently in the United States with the election. That alone, when you look at the landslide that Trump won by.
Debbie:
That was not him. That was the Lord.
Ron:
I absolutely believe that it was the Lord. It was not Trump at all.
Dale:
70, 80, 90%. Of all the counties.
Debbie:
98 percent
Dale:
of all the counties in our nation. Lord, what does this mean? And it's obvious. The Holy Spirit has been speaking to us for years. The change that God is bringing in America - in this world - starting in America, will be at the grass Roots . The people are going to rise up and say, enough is enough.
This is God moving on the people. He's a God of all people. Not just few leaders or a few religious leaders. He's a God of all the people.There are people who do not know the Lord yet, but they will. This is a day where He's drawing people unto Himself. It's gonna happen in many different ways.
You can't say, oh, now I gotta go to church. No, it can happen to you like to Paul on the road to Emmaus. He'll step in there and He will change you and bring you forth into what He wants. He's moving on everybody It's all about God's kingdom is for everybody.
Ken:
Could it be it's a time when the Master is saying to the servants go out into the highways the hedges the byways and compel them to come in.
Come unto me all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke, learn of me, for I am humble of heart. In other words, God's not going to refuse to receive whosoever comes unto Him. And I really truly believe it's got to be that simple. It's got to be so simple that people hear and say, "that means me."
I can actually receive the Lord and be changed and be a spiritual individual and know the Lord. Absolutely. People are ready to hear the Word. And all we have to do is say, Come unto the Lord, open your heart, and turn to God, because He will receive you. It's going to be a time when people say, my lifestyle is not what I want.
I'm not living the life that I really want to live. And so when I hear this, come unto me all ye that labor and that heavy laden, that's me. I'm looking for a way of life that, that has reality to it.
Ron:
I feel like the Lord's been working in the hearts of men for a long, long, long time . Preparing their hearts to hear just a simple word, not religious, just coming to the Lord, knowing that you need Him.
Doesn't have to be complicated or a lot of doctrine. It's not church. It's a real relationship with a real living God. It really is that simple. Churches and religion has complicated a relationship with the Lord, and it's not that. That's what I believe the Lord's stripping away now is the complication.
Wanting a relationship with the Lord, knowing that you need a relationship with the Lord in your life, and then wanting it and opening up to it.
Ken:
How many times have we heard people say there's something missing in my life. We're talking about people that have all kinds of money, all kinds of possessions, and everything going for them on a human level, but not complete.
And the reason they're not complete is because there's a hole that needs to be filled in their heart with the presence of God. That's how simple it really is.
Ron:
He wants to meet them in such a simplicity. To me, there's no greater meeting with the Lord than meeting Him in His love. Just His love can just transform anybody. Just turn their life 180 degrees. If they have an experience with Him and His love, you can't get much more simple than that.
Ken:
I think one of the things, Ron, too, when you talk about God is the requirements that they're going to have to fulfill. The truth is, when we accept the Lord and open our hearts to Him, He enables us to do His will.
We don't do the work. In fact, the Scripture bears that out. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. If you're striving to have a relationship with God, you're on the wrong path. You're not in the place where there is a free gift that God's offering. Salvation is free. When you come into it, the Lord does meet you, but He enables you to do His will.
He doesn't make you do His will. I think that it's such a misconception. Oh, I have to join the church. I have to be baptized. I have to do this. No, what you have to do is open your heart and let the Lord in and let Him lead and direct and enable you to be His son.
Debbie:
Isn't that what a relationship is? A relationship is just opening up and learning to know who the person is. Opening up your heart to the Lord and just saying, Lord, here I am. That's the basic simplicity of coming into a walk with God. It's just opening up and saying, here I am, Lord.
Dale:
Yahshua Messiah said it very carefully and very easily. Come follow Me. He made it so simple. What do you say to your children when you're going to take them across the street?
You should reach out your hand and say, come follow me across the street. We come as little children. Simply obeying. We never outgrow. Come follow me.
