DOOM & GLOOM

For many these are dark days. In light of what is happening in our world, and in our own country, they are days full of worry, concern, confusion, fear, suffering and lack.  But the Bible says in the Book of Malachi that when darkness covers the earth - when men's hearts fail them with fear over all of the dreadful things happening - IN THAT MOMENT:

"shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings" (Mal 4:2) 

I'd like to share something with you written by David Wilkerson, Senior Pastor and founder of Times Square Church in New York City:

"For God's people, the message is not one of gloom, but of gladness. In the darkest hour, when things look hopeless - when there is fear on all sides, and everything is overshadowed by gloom - Jesus is going to rise in greater revelation than at any time in history.  And the world is going to witness his saving and keeping power in all its glory.  In a world gone mad - when radical Islamics boast they have prevailed, when agmostics cry, 'God is dead!' - Jesus Christ will rise up.  And he will shine as a healing Sun, brighter than in all past generations".

Guys, there aren't the words of some over-emotional, under-anointed, wingnut tele-prophet.  These are the words of Malachi, the prophet of God.  God cares about you and me.  He knows when we are in difficulty.  And through you may be facing more difficult and uncertain times in your life than at any time in your life...keep your eyes on Jesus, because if you do, you are going to see remarkable things, and you will experience a level of joy in your life that you have never known.  

Stay tuned.  In the next few posts I'm going to share more of something David Wilkerson has recently written about signs, wonders and miracles.
