I am convinced that God is initiating something truly significant at this time. He has decreed a time of mercy for America. No matter how much the heart of people has been trained against Christ in the past, God now has an open door. That is why I do not want to spend all my life praying, "Please, Lord." I rather pray : "Yes, Lord," and find out what my share is in all this. "Yes, Lord, what do you want me to do ? Yes, Lord, what do you want me to say ? Yes, Lord, where do you want me to go ?"
When God chose Rebecca to become Isaac's wife, she had to leave where she was and go where God called her so that her plan could be fulfilled (see Genesis 24:58). In the same way, God speaks to His people today, and He asks them to stand up and give up certain things. So, instead of saying constantly : "Please, Lord, give me grace so that I can get out of this relationship. Give me grace so I can give up this practice" it's time to start saying, "Yes, Lord, you called me to something deeper. You called me to be a person who can boast of you to such an extent that others can not do otherwise than bow your head and worship. So I no longer say "please, Lord" while remaining merely seated in unbelief. I decide to agree with you, get out of where I should not be and go where you call me to go !"
Maybe you already know what God is asking you to do. If He has spoken to your heart, begin with these things. If the Lord asks you to forgive, then forgive. If He asks you to tell the truth, then do it. As long as you have not done what He has already asked you to do, the other directions of the Lord will remain hidden from you.
