Prophecy
Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth you possession.
In vision, I saw a huge harvest and God put our church in it. Many people don’t know where to start to reap the crops because the portion for each one is large. But the harvest time doesn’t wait for people. God reminds us the importance and urgency of caring for His Kingdom. Actually, harvesting the souls is easier than we thought, as long as we are willing to take the first step. We just need to be there for God and have faith in God that He will send His workers to help.
Message
Psalms 3:3 (by Pastor Tong Liu)
While the coming of the 9/11 memorials is near, many special activities and programs are hold in memory of September 11, 2001. Pastor Liu shared that one of our daughter churches- Harvest Church of New York, was formed after the crisis. Pastor Xiao has a heart to build a spirit-filled church to serve the local Chinese people in such a difficult time. Surprisingly, this church experienced an astonishing growth in numbers in the past ten years.
Last week, when Pastor Liu visited the Ground Zero again, he was very touched by the scene he saw- a cross, which is formed by intersecting steel beams in the rubble. Although World Trade Center buildings collapsed, this 9/11 Memorial Cross represented a symbol of perseverance and faith. The glory of men would be gone one day, however, the glory of God remains eternal. Our God bestows glory on us and lifts up our heads.
Let’s pray for America and this land. Ask God’s glory manifests here and not to condemn USA. Let’s learn from Nehemiah, he said, “ I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s house, have committed against you.” The hope of this nation is our God. We are experiencing the longest economic crisis since 2008, let’s stand on the gap to pray and believe only He can bring changes and breakthrough. When there seems no way, God will make a way. Revival only comes in crisis or a difficult situation. God is always willing to help us.
Reflection
Is there any situation you cannot solve in your life? Do you know God always can lift up your head? Put your hope in our victorious God and you will know your problems can be resolved because of Him.
