A Cry For Souls

So many souls! So many souls hanging in the balance! So many souls perishing.
With the whole world being shaken as never before, who in my body is focusing on what really matters? Which one of my servants still dwells on what is most dear?
Do my people think that the world of mammon is what they should pay attention to? Do my children think their finances is what matters most?
How about patriotism? Should pledging allegiance to this empire or that be what dominates your soul? Perhaps it should be politics. Or seeking ever more information on one topic or another. Maybe more facts and figures is what you need.
The planet has never resembled Babel as much as it does today. Voices are crying out over every cause and crusade imaginable. Lies piled upon lies. Ignorance coupled with anger and unholy passions. The noise is deafening. And my people have fallen into this bottomless pit of the unending babble of Babel.
Where is the voice of my church today? How is it, as the knowledge of God being all but erased out of the land, that my people have forgotten the first principles? Where is the cry over the lostness of souls? Have you ever seen such a great multitude hurtling themselves towards the eternal flames of hell as you see today? Have you ever witnessed such a hatred of all things holy and pure as you do at this time?
While you fight for your freedoms, you pay oh so little heed to those perishing all around you. While you focus all your energy worrying and fretting over what comes next, those even in your own household that are destined for eternal torment you have made accommodations for in your own soul. While you lament over other’s political persuasions, unless they all repent, they will all likewise perish, regardless of which leaders they admire or hate.
The curse of social media has deceived your souls. Do you ever stop and consider exactly how you are spending your life? When was the last time you took stock of how you are using the days that I have allotted you? Where is your heart? Remember what I have told you. Where your heart is, that is where your treasure is to be found.
Is your heart consumed with mammon? Is it obsessed with current evils? Maybe it’s your entertainments. Or the latest conspiracy of wicked men. Perhaps all you care about is your children. Identify your passion, and there is where your treasure lies.
But what about the lost? Have the cares of the world so choked the flame of the Spirit of God that souls no longer matter? Have you convinced yourselves that there is nothing that you can do? Since no one seems to want to listen to the things of God, have you given up?
But what about prayer? Have you given up on the power of prayer as well? Did I not wonder whether when I return, I would find faith on the earth? Is there anyone left that believes that prayer will move heaven? But will you pray, not on your own behalf, but rather die to your own desires, and spend your self by standing in the gap for those who are dead in sin?
Many are in terror, not knowing what comes next. Yet what does it matter what comes next, if one does not know me? What does it matter if this nation is made great, or that war is averted, or this economic collapse is halted, if one loses his own soul? Why has my church stopped weeping over the lost?
I said my burden would be easy, and my yoke light. But only for those who have truly put their desires aside and fully embraced mine. I guarantee that those who refuse to lose their own lives shall never find satisfaction, fulfilment, or peace. But those who lose their life for my sake shall not only find purpose and meaning, but a fulfilment that only I can provide.
Children, you know that the time is short. Unless you choose to stop what you are doing, and find your way back to the cross, your heart will never become one with mine. And my heart beats for the lost. For every soul that slips off into eternity without me, I am wounded anew.
Will you not go forth and be my hands and feet, my voice to those who have no one else? Will you find the courage to obey me when I call you to spread the good news before it’s too late? Will you put down your phones, and sacrifice your time to petition heaven unceasingly, until I send my Spirit to open the eyes of the blind once again? Who amongst you shall find the resolve to return to your first love, and be that light to those who grope about in darkness? Which of my children shall decide to reenlist in the Lord’s army of prayer warriors, of soldiers who are fearless and unashamed in their witness of me?
To those who let my words of challenge sink in and once again reignite the fire of evangelism, there is great reward that awaits you. Let not this day pass without asking my Father to quicken the truths found here, so that you will not be found wanting on that final day. I long to tell each and every one of you that you have done well, and now it is time to enter into the joy of your master. Heed the warning, and this shall be yours. Heed it not, and risk it all. The choice is yours alone to make.
