Day Three of Self-Quarantine.
11 more days to go.
Recently, the Lord has put a lot on my heart.
As soon as my team in Azerbaijan found out that we were being evacuated and sent home to the States, the Lord gave me a lot of vision for my time at home.
He has put so much excitement in my Spirit for how He is going to move, of how He is going to use this virus to bring people back to Him.
This is OUR time. Let us not waste it.

A Word For The Church
A plague has come.
Our church buildings may be shut down.
But the church is NOT a building.
It was NEVER intended to be a building…
WAKE UP.
We ARE the church.
It is time to rise.
It is time to BE the church.
It is time…
To love our neighbors.
To take care of those in need.
To show the world the HOPE that we have in Jesus.
There may be a pandemic, countries may be shutting everything down, borders may be closing, and economies may be suffering…
But why should we be afraid?
Why should we fear?
Our hope is not in this world.
There is NO FEAR in love.
For perfect love drives out fear.
Anxiety, GET OUT in Jesus’ name
Fear, GET OUT in Jesus’ name
They have NO RIGHT to torment children of God.
What are we even afraid of?
Afraid to run out of food?
Afraid to be jobless?
Afraid get a disease?
Afraid to die?
We worship THE GOD WHO PROVIDES.
The God who is with us! The God that has poured out His Spirit unto us!
We worship the God that PROMISES that we will have troubles in this world, but to take HEART, for He has overcome the WORLD.
Oh, and we worship THE GOD WHO HEALS!
–
If we live, we get to BRING Kingdom on Earth & we get to SHARE the hope that we have!
And if we die, it is only our gain!
So why on Earth would we be afraid?
Should people full of courage, love, and hope be hoarding?
Should we become selfish, anxious, and worrisome about tomorrow?
NO.
For we are children of God.
We have the hope of Christ.
The Holy Spirit dwells inside of us.
We walk in authority because of the Spirit.
We cannot forget this!
So, WAKE UP.
This is OUR time, church.
Let’s rise.
Let us gather in our homes…
Let us pray together.
Let us love each other well.
Let us break bread together.
Let us take care of our neighbors.
Let us worship in our living rooms.
Let us be full of boldness, hope, & joy.
Let us share the hope we have in Christ.
Let us BE the church that we forgot to be.
This is the calling on our lives.
To be the church.
So let’s get it.
