How Long?

Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.
1 Kings 18:21 NIV

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, “How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him”: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
1 Kings 18:21 KJV

Fundamentally this is what my ministry is about. Offering the choice to His bride as to whom they will serve. And the truth is that we are choosing between Baal and Yeshua.
Just like Elijah I have been charged with a great task, the task of bringing His true message to the church. A message of hard choices and ultimate love. The church is facing one of its hardest tests in the near future and he wants his bride prepared. Not only is the church going to face an enemy from without but is now facing and enemy from within and the very elect are being deceived.


Pray that the Lord will strengthen my resolve and give me the courage to walk out in faith and trust His provision for the hard road ahead. I have much to learn before the journey begins and not a lot of time to learn it in. He is calling His people to battle and the time is NOW. The question is will we wait until it is to late or will we take up our cross, follow Yeshua in dying to ourselves and bring the message to a church that has forgotten its true love?
