Time to repent.
Take an honest look at ourselves asking the Holy Spirit to reveal ANY wicked way in us. Then accept His revelation about us and repent. Don’t deny his spotlight. Don’t live in denial about your sin and iniquity any longer.
Time to pray.
Take time to pray for others. Ask the Holy Spirit who He wants you to pray for – and what to pray for them. Be Spirit-led in your prayer. Don’t be quick – be patient and wait, listen.
Time to worship.
Raise your voice to worship the King of Kings. Out loud. Full throated. Let ALL your enemies know Who you serve. Let your heart revel in His glory. It is needed now (for you personally) more than ever.
Time to listen and prepare.
Spend time before Him. Ask Him to speak to you. His hear His Voice. Write it down. Work it out. Obey promptly.
Time to renounce fear.
Know your salvation. Know your destination. Know your King. Know your commitment to your King. Fear has no part in His Kingdom or His warriors. Ask Him to download His faith into you via the Holy Spirit. He freely gives to those that ask Him. Know that He IS the Author and finisher of your faith. Speak out loud your choice to be rid of fear.
Time to move.
Don’t move out of reaction. Move out of response to what He tells you to do. Move in purpose. Move in confidence. Move out of divine direction. Don’t be apathetic and lethargic. Know you’re a chosen one of the King.
Time to be bold.
Be confident to walk with Him. Speak what He tells you to say. Pray with His authority and conviction.
I think Mordecai’s challenge to Esther applies here for us and those we are responsible for.
For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14
