Dear Loved One,
Years ago, I was introduced to a simple but powerful song that began, "It is the time to take the Kingdom...." To "take the Kingdom" is to move in partnership with the will of God, keeping focused on the purpose to which He has called us-beyond those things that personally oppress and distress to passionate, intercessory prayer on behalf of others and the world, believing that it will make a difference.
Today, from China to Chile, Haiti to Indonesia, Mexico to the Nicobar Islands... we are living in a dynamic and dramatic hour in which so many devastating events, like earthquakes, keep happening one after another that we can become desensitized to the magnitude of tragedy. One may even wonder if our planet is not being loosened at subterranean levels for the climactic earthquake referenced in the Book of Revelation that will bring conclusion to the world as we know it.
I'm not saying that to fan speculation but to target our clear-headed passion and focus. You and I are called to become partners in God's promise and instruments of His redemptive advance. Jesus tells us to pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done..." That's a prayer for the entry of His power, released at Calvary, into whatever challenges you, your neighbors, or the nations of the world.
This month, I'd like you to have my new teaching, "Time To Take the Kingdom" in appreciation for your support of $25 or more. I encourage you to let God's call penetrate your heart and ignite you with the same passion and love that He has for our world and all its people.
Join me, loved one... it's time
to take the Kingdom!
Pastor Jack
