Gap Time

Gap Time
One morning while reading my Bible, in Isaiah 51& 52, I saw what struck me as a gap. Like a generation gap. What I would like to equate it to is the same way the earth can split open during an Earthquake. After the shaking, there can be a considerable crevice or gap created.

I believe we are in a time of shaking that is and will create just this kind of Gap.

I see an overlapping mindset in the world today that spans the generations.

A generation without a purpose
A generation without a hope
A generation without a mission
A generation without a vision

A generation without a passion

It is encapsulated in the “Whatever” and “I don’t care” attitude, as long as it doesn’t take too long and it doesn’t cost me too much.

The parents did not seem to care enough to do what is right, now their children are going to the extreme and not don’t seem to know what is right or wrong. If they do, you can’t tell.

The deception that “IT DON’T MATTER” and its fall out are quite apparent. The great lie, that there is no consequence to my action has given way to the greatest tragedies we see today.

The birthrate of Fatherless Children is exploding. Close to 50% of children born today are born without a father.

God loves the children, and God loves the parents of those children, but life just got harder for both of them. There is a reason God created Adam AND Eve. Cain and Able needed a Momma AND Daddy.

There are exceptions to every rule, and if your an exception, Fine. Think about how this might apply to some small area of your life. I believe the reason the weakness in the current generation is found in the lack of concern and passion of doing what is right in the previous.

The Lack of Passion for right has given sway to losing the concept of right.

This brings us to a troubling time. Now.

Here we stand on the precipice of eternity, with the challenge of reaching our world for right, when many don’t even know what right is, and if they do know, they have not cared.

There is a wake-up call coming, and this will clarify many things for all of us.

A shaking in the earth. The cup of trembling. A shaking. An awakening.

A shaking in the markets. It is happening. A shaking in the families. It is happening A shaking in the church. It is happening.

Everything that can be shaken is shaking..... right now.

Will you stand or fall when the epicenter moves into your little world?

If your not prepared, you better get ready now.

Set your feet, strengthen your grip, sell out and stock up.

"They all are watching to see your reaction... " Who are they? Everyone that matters.

Will you...

Sit back, lay out, ease up, let off, slow down, pull out or lay down?

I hope and pray this is not the case.

What I encourage, implore and pray that you will do is Stand Up, Show Up and Press In.

It is time to be counted.
It is time to be counted on the Team of Right and doing it right and caring while we do it right.

Stop expecting someone else to pull your share. Your share might get left! Quit Putting off what God has been asking you to do for so long.

It is High Time.

If you have been waiting for the perfect time. You’re not going to get a better time than now.

If you’re waiting to Get Older, look in the Mirror.

The shaking has already started. The Gap is widening. What side of the Gap will you be on?

I appeal to you as Abraham appealed to God. Abraham stood in the Gap for Grace.

It is time to realize where you are.

The shaking will only increase and become more personal as time goes by. Get your house in order. Get your children in order. Get your finances in order.

When the Shaking stops, I hope you’re all right.

In Him, By Him, Through Him,
