This last Sunday while enjoying worship I received a word from our Lord. As it was not appropriate for it to be spoken during service. I wrote it down and saved it for this posting. It went as follows. ” Hear my children, see my children. This day I have set before you a window. A window of opportunity. For I hear your petitions. I know your prayers. I am your answer. I am your opportunity. Therefore do not cover these windows. No curtains. No blinds. No covering. Look and see what I have set before you. This day has been prepared for in advance. Now go and don’t look back.”

This message goes well with the previous posting. Its the next step for many of us. God wants us to be obedient to His ways. He gives us direction and expects us to just say “yes and amen” to Him. Now when we say this, its our time to step out and go. Just like the story of Jesus walking on the water (Matt. 14:22-33). At one point Peter asks if it is the Lord and if so command him to come to Him. So, Jesus says “come.” And Peter walks on the water. Peter didn’t say great answer or that was the correct response. He didn’t stop there and not do anything afterward. No, he stepped out on the water and started walking. This was an opportunity to follow through with his yes and amen. He didn’t say it. He did it.

How many windows of opportunity has our Lord put before us? How many times did we cover them up? How many times have we regretted our actions? These windows are going to come more often for us in the near future. Are we going to say “yes and amen” to them and go to them? It will not be easy by any means. Many times we will be very uncomfortable. This is because we are just not used to it. The more often we do it, the more comfortable we will be. We are being persecuted more now then ever before. So why not give them a reason to do it. Remember that we are to “go into all the world…” talking about Jesus and all that he is. We need to obedient. And this is only one type of opportunity. There may be other ways. Like praying for people. Helping out a needy family. Ministering to the homeless. These are all windows for us to go through and for them to see Jesus through us.

Thank you for reading this. Please be encouraged to share this posting with others. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. Or worse, don’t cover it up.

Be blessed, Ken
