ABDUL HARRIS It's time to show your faith

Friends, I believe we have entered into the very beginning stage of a tremendous move of God. Yes, this truly is a new day.
The prophet Joel said God was going to pour out his spirit upon all flesh. And we're living in that day about which he spoke. And we're already seeing a little of that begin to happen. But we haven't touched the surface of what God really wants to do.
I believe that in the coming days, we're going to see people from all denominations join side by side in unity with their hands lifted high in praise to our Lord. Yes, God is awakening this generation to the fact that these denominational names and petty little differences that have separated us for so many years -- well, they're not important. All that matters is, "Do we bear the name of Jesus?"
Get ready
It is high time we stop being "closet Christians," burst out of this rut and start being about our Father's business. You missionaries with no missions, trustees that can't be trusted, we had better get ready. Curtis Mayfield once sang, "People get ready, there's a train a'comin'"; who among us will be ready? People, I believe there's something big over the horizon. And God has chosen us to usher in this "fresh new wave of his spirit." Every one of us needs to shake and stir himself up and begin to trust and believe God for bigger and greater things.
Jesus said in John 14:12, "He that believeth in Me, the works that I shall do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go to My Father."
Also, in this brand new day fast approaching, have we done all we can do to uplift his name? Have we visited the sick, volunteered at a homeless shelter, borne any good fruit, witnesses, if any?
If you haven't, start soon, and also learn the power of forgiveness. If you have any problems, consult the Word. Yes. I am a witness that a new day is fast approaching. Yes, people, and he is yet alive today, and he's willing to heal and mend confused hearts. I know.
