JANUARY 2010
I was worshipping in church a few months ago when I heard the voice of the Lord speak to my heart. He said, “I want you to start a NOW Campaign.”
To back up a bit, I have been on a quest over the last few years to understand TIME. Not just any time but God’s timing. How he does things. God had a whole tribe dedicated to the issue of time in the Old Testament, Issachar. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, we see that they were the tribe, “who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” All the tribes looked to them to understand what to do and when to do it.
Understanding the times and seasons is key to our victory. So if that is true, what is time? It is a measurable period with action and conditions. There is chronos time and Kyros time:
1. Chronos-This Hebrew word is associated with chronological time. Day to day to day. Month to month to month, year to year to year.
2. Kairos has many meanings. It can mean a) a fixed and definite time, the time when things are brought to crisis, the decisive epoch waited for b) opportune or seasonable time c) the right time d) a limited period of time
Time indicates either PAST, PRESENT, or FUTURE. We have tapped into a prophetic gifting that prophecies future-that is what the prophetic does-it foretells what IS to happen. But I think God is releasing a new level of increase that prophecies NOW and then things happen immediately! When chronos and kairos meet. Not because of anything we have done but because of what needs to be released on the earth NOW for such a time as this.
So I leave you today with one question. What needs to happen NOW for His Kingdom to come on earth? Think about it…
Teach about Him NOW
Heal the sick- NOW
Pray NOW
Give NOW
Forgive NOW
Drive out the demons from the demon possessed NOW
Raise the dead NOW
Go ahead…Prophecy NOW and Start a NOW Campaign to advance His Kingdom. Prophesy life in to those dead, dried bones so they may live. Prophesy lungs to work NOW in the Name of Jesus. Prophecy to the person in line next to you at the grocery store for their eyes to see NOW! Don’t wait, don’t back down. Don’t be intimidates. Do it NOW! God is looking for a people with that same understanding as Issachar, to understand the times and what the world should do. It has to do with understanding the correct TIME and then DOING something.
Next Time:
Kingdom Now! More on the timing of God to advance His Kingdom.
