The Father's Heartbeat

Imagine watching the Superbowl on your big screen television and just as a touchdown is about to happen, a breaking news bulletin flashes in and blares an important message across the screen, interrupting the play.

Switching channels to today, how many of us are inconvenienced by God interrupting our show? Do we have dreams we want to live out but there are signs of bible prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes that are blaring and flashing messages on our screen?  Instead of stopping what we are doing and listening, do we point our remote controller at the TV and frantically try to change the channel to tune the message out so we can go on with our lives as planned?

Have we sabotaged God’s Kingdom in our attempt to live out our own agenda and purposes for our lives?   The church is commissioned to go out and make disciples and share the Good News, the Gospel message of forgiveness and love that is beaming from the Father’s Heart (Matt. 28:19-20). The world needs to hear that although “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), they are “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).

John 3:16 says ” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”   If we don’t speak, they won’t hear and have the opportunity to repent and receive eternal life.  There is an urgency in this hour for believers to wake up and share the redemptive message of Christ.

Winning souls and bringing in the end-time harvest is of the utmost importance to our Father’s Heart.  We can make God’s priorities our priorities by submitting our hearts to the Lord and consecrating ourselves to Him.

It isn’t too late to turn our focus back to our Heavenly Father and listen to His heartbeat for the lost and share His message that is blaring across the screens of our hearts.  There are souls that are depending on it.
