The Job is Still Not Done

Where Did We Go Wrong?

Jesus told His disciples
Go
We have hunkered down in churches.

Jesus told His disciples Teach
We want to be perpetual students

Jesus told His disciples Make Disciples
We've become sponges, asking for more

Jesus came to do His Father's will.
He trained His disciples. He told them, "I'm going to my Father and your Father."
As He was going He said, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Then He said Go, teach, make disciples.

The followers of Jesus were given a job to do. He gave them their assignment, and then He said, Wait.

And they did. Jesus told them And behold I send the promise of my father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.

And the power came upon them and they went out and thousands were born into the Kingdom of God. And those disciples went out, as the persecution intensified, and millions were born in The Kingdom.

If you know anything of Christian history, you know that The Word went forth in power and people were born into The Kingdom. The main thrust was into Europe and England and over to the US.
Now, retrace the disciple's steps and you'll find that the majority of those places in Europe have turned away from Jesus. It is almost as if Satan followed behind, finding chinks in the wall, until the people believed the liar. Now, according to reports, the United Kingdom, once one of the most prolific countries at sending out missionaries, is over 90% heathen. Only around 5% even attend church.

And what of America today?
If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14

This is the season of celebration.
This is the season of consecration.
This is the season of dedication

All for King Jesus who was obedient unto death.
