As we watch history change before our eyes in the Middle East with governments teetering and people willing to lay down their lives for freedom, we must remember this very important thing:

Somewhere, whether in a room or a coffee house or a university classroom, one person spoke up and said, “Enough! We must fight for change now!” Because that one person dared to speak, others followed, and two governments have already fallen.

Is this not what Christ is calling us to do in these last days? Will we stand up – even if we feel we are alone – and say, “Enough! We must fight for change now! People are in darkness across this world! People still have not heard the truth! I will no longer be silent, nor will I be stationary!” Will we engage in battle on our knees for the nations and for our neighbors as we never have before? And as Isaiah cried out, will we say, “Here I am, Lord; Send me!”

As we read through today’s headlines in Matthew 24, we reach this amazing statement in verse 14: “This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end shall come.” These words are coupled with one powerful word in Matthew 28 which is spoken with all of the authority and power of our Lord to everyone who believes in His name: “Go!”

It is time to lay aside our fears and our comfort and give all that we can for the Gospel to be preached to all nations so that the nations can exalt Christ as Savior and King!

It begins here:

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
