For Such a Time as This

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1087

-Begin Transcript –

Last week, I talked to you about the importance of finding your purpose – the true reason for your existence. God has already equipped many of His people for what’s about to happen, and He also wants to equip you. This year, things seem to have accelerated. Evil isn’t hiding its face anymore. Get ready. Get in position to be used by God. The time is NOW.

Okay, I love the passage of scripture we’re gonna focus on today. I had planned to read it myself, but I came across this TikTok from a young lady who was also led recently to this passage – so I’m gonna let her get us started, and I want you to pay close attention to everything she shares here.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

She’s right on target, folks. And one part of what she said especially stood out to me. There are some people who are along your path who need YOU to witness to them. There are people God is going to bring into your space, okay, who maybe won’t accept the Gospel message from others – from a preacher or whatever – but they will be primed and ready to listen to YOU.

Now you might say, how? Why me? How can I minister to anyone? What do I have to offer that anyone would listen to me and come to know Christ? Guess what. Those are fantastic questions. So take those questions to God and be ready to obey whatever He wants you to do. All you have to be is obedient.

You’ve heard it said, God doesn’t call the equipped, but He equips the called. So just answer the call. Offer yourself to God as a willing vessel – but like she said, let go of anything and everything that holds you back from being used for His most noble of purposes…winning souls.

One of the first things you may have to get rid of in your life that’s holding you back is doubt. As long as you doubt your usefulness to God, you will remain pretty useless. Realize that doubt is like a heavy chain of bondage. It holds you prisoner as long as you hold on to it. Let it go. Obey God and HE will do the work THROUGH you.

Moses had a speech impediment. At first, he doubted his usefulness in freeing God’s people from Egypt. But he obeyed God, and he’s now known for leading the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. David was just a young boy when God called him. He was too small to wear armor, but he was skilled with a slingshot. Even though Goliath was a giant, David brought him down with one rock. Why doubt what God can do through YOU?

And here’s the awesome part. When you obey, that’s when the miraculous happens. Take a look at this young man preaching the good news on a street corner, and watch what happens as a result…

Praise God! That’s powerful! For you listening to the audio only, after speaking about the gift of eternal life, this guy who’s just out there obeying God makes an alter call right there on the street corner, and almost immediately after the invitation is made, a transgender man – a man who has been identifying as a woman – he was there in that place at that time by God’s design, and he came forward to accept Jesus Christ. It’s beautiful.

Folks, that’s what we’re called to do. Obey God and make a difference in where people spend eternity. But we must let go of doubt, fear, and whatever holds us back. We have to get rid of prideful things or any sin that’s keeping us from living up to our potential. But most of all, we just need to be obedient. Answer the calling on your life and do it now.

Yes, that young girl was right. 2024 is already a crazy time to be alive, and the enemy is ramping up for spiritual war. We who are called need to suit up, get in position, and stand ready. There’s no more time for playing around. No more time for Sunday morning Christianity only. No more time for dabbling in just a weensy bit of sin on Friday and Saturday night thinking we’ll get right with God again tomorrow.

No! That won’t fly, saints. We have a mission! We have a purpose and a calling. It’s time for men and women of God to stand up and fall in line for battle. Souls are at stake. That person you work with that you think is too far gone and on their way to hell – they might just need you to show them the love of Jesus. You could be the one who alters that person’s eternal destination.

Are you really gonna sit by and let people slip into damnation just because you’re afraid of trying? Come on, hear it, Stace. I’m talking to myself as much as anyone else here. We have to get serious about saving souls NOW, y’all! Time is running out. We stand at the precipice of the end of the age, and God is calling all His warriors into position for such a time as this!

So pray up, suit up, and get in the fight! God bless and keep shining the Kingdom Light!
