Master, are you going to restore the kingdom?

Acts, Chapter 1-6 :When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?" 7-8He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in even to the ends of the world."

Isaiah 6:1-6:8 Isaiah said, “Here I am, send me”.  As with Isaiah God has a task to be performed and is asking everyone “Who will go! How about you? What are you doing? Are you waving your hands and yelling, “Here I am, here I am” or are you hiding and saying, “I sure hope he doesn’t see me. Be willing to say “Here I am, send me” and you must be willing to be obedient, and be willing to complete the task he has for you.

God has the need for witnesses in this world today. God asks of you to be willing to do what He tells you to. God doesn’t say you have to meet any other requirements. As a matter of fact if you look at that verse in Acts again God tells you that he will empower you to do His will. All YOU have to do is be willing to be used. Are you willing?

To receive this power each must be in a right relationship with the Lord. This begins with salvation. “Repent and be baptized”. Things haven’t changed. Repent means to turn away, or to take the opposite direction. This simply means that you look at the direction that you are moving in your life and if you’re going the wrong direction, make a conscious decision to turn from that way.

It is God’s will for you to be a witness, are you willing to put yourself in the right place. Not for the sake of having a New Year’s resolution but for your own peace and joy. Today is the time for you to resolve to do the will of God. It is God’s will for you to be a witness! Be willing to complete the task. You must not be discouraged by the enemy. You must follow the instructions of the Father. Finally, follow through until the task is complete. You are God’s sender. He is given you the opportunity. Be willing to accept the task. You do not need to be sent somewhere else you’re where you can help right now. Just be ready to complete the task.

The harvest can’t be completed without each member doing their part. Your life will not be complete if you are not doing your part for God. Where are you? God says,”Who will go? What is your answer?
