This situation (the believers not knowing their gifts or the will of God for their life) has prevailed for two thousand years. Now it is coming to a screeching halt! The Lord Jesus has come to His churches. He is calling out (in heart, for now) whoever will turn aside from the world and his or her own ways and seek the face of God. There is no time to waste. The tares are coming to maturity.

If you want to be a victorious saint, an inheritor of the promises of God, you must become the bondslave of Jesus Christ.

The tribe of Dan is not mentioned in the list in Revelation, Chapter Seven because the name Dan refers to judgment. The sealed servants of the Lord are going through judgment now, as they confess their sins, and will not be judged but sentenced to eternal life at the appearing of the Lord.

How could we be changed into immortal life and rise to be forever with the Lord until we first have been judged?

The tribe of Ephraim also is omitted in Revelation Seven. Ephraim is included in the tribe of Joseph and refers to the Gentiles who are included among the servants of God.

The point is, the victorious saints do not live for themselves but for the will of Christ. Are you ready to be a servant of the Lord?

Young person, listen to me. My generation, the older generation, of American Christians has failed the Lord. We are occupied with the material riches of America, vacations, our retirement scheme, our hospital plan, our entertainment. We attend church but in many instances we are not burning with the fires of consecration that Jesus demands.

God is calling to your generation and that of your children and grandchildren. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only source of power great enough to change the world from its slavery to lust, money, and violence. All the talk in the world won't do it. The problems are coming from Satan and only Jesus Christ is able to conquer Satan and this He can do and shall do.

But how about you? You have your life ahead of you. Why don't you give it to God, not like the church people around you but like the saints of history who have followed Christ with a single heart.

Listen to me! If you will give your best to Christ He will give His best to you. And the "best" of Jesus Christ includes all the power on earth, in the atmosphere, and in outer space. This is where the power is. This is where the wisdom is. This is where the beauty and splendor are.

You have but one life. If you do your best you may accomplish some small good in the world, and I know you want to do the best you can when you see what is taking place around you.

But if you take the fish and loaves of your life and hand them over to the Lord Jesus He will feed the multitude. I'm not kidding. The Lord and you working together can change this stinking mass of protoplasm we call the world.

You can make it a better place for children, for animals, for nature, for people of all kinds, for the many races in America, for the disabled and sick.

The Lord and the world are waiting for your answer. What will it be? A servant of yourself or a servant of God?

To be continued.
