From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I count it a privilege to call Bob Jones a friend. Only on rare occasions have I asked his advice on things, because I didn't want to take up his time. Nevertheless, when I saw this word, which he posted earlier this week, I knew it was so for NOW! It's short but very, very potent and is an important word for the Body of Christ in this hour.
Over the last few years, the Lord has been preparing HIS BODY for a third great WORLDWIDE awakening—and let me tell you, I've experienced more warfare in the last few years than in all my life combined previously, which has allowed me to join you all in that preparation time. God didn't cause the warfare. I would only say He allowed some of it. But my boot camp training has brought me in TIGHT with the LORD. I don't claim to have arrived, but I'm on my way to having that relationship I've already craved. I'm only 55 years old, so I'm just getting started.
So, once again, this is a NOW word. May our churches and the world's bars become as the Lord has shown Bob Jones.
But you can read it for yourself. Enjoy and be encouraged.
Bob Jones:
Build a Barn! It's Harvest Time!
Recently, Bob was told that churches will become hospitals and bars will become churches. According to Webster's dictionary, a hospital is an institution that provides medical or surgical care or treatment for the sick and the injured.
Isaiah 26:9b says, When Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. (NIV)
As the world grows darker and darker and all that can be shaken is shaken, the Church will become brighter and brighter. The light or glory of the Lord will arise upon the Church and through His Bride, and all who come shall be healed. The Healer has never left the Church; the Church has abandoned her duties. The world will come to the Church to be healed spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, socially and sexually.
Bars or taverns will become churches. They will become a natural watering hole or well of redemption. God is going to redeem all things for His purposes. Bars currently advertise "spirits" and now they will know "The Spirit"—the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Holiness, the Spirit of Love and Righteousness, the Holy Spirit of God! Now, when they belly up to the bar, they will come away full of the Holy Ghost with the expression of tongues in their mouths and fire in their bellies.
A Season of Having the 'Faith of God'
It is time for the Church to begin building barns—it's harvest time! Barns are the people coming together in home meetings where they learn to grow in their gifting and exercise their faith. They are the harvesters! We're moving from the faith in God to a season of having the faith of God.
Jeremiah 22:3a says, Execute justice and righteousness and deliver out of the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. (AMP)
The harvesters will be able to deliver those oppressed by the spirit of this world and as they are delivered, God's justice and righteousness are restored.
