Unbelievable Days

"Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."
Habakkuk 1:5&6

I firmly believe that we are living in days that are unprecedented in history. The world economy is in unparalleled turmoil. Natural disasters are occurring more frequently than ever. Nations are in upheaval. The world is changing. Yet, all these things were prophesied thousands of years ago. Jesus spoke about these days and the Old Testament prophets testified about them. We live in the most exciting time in human history.
    Although the world condition seems perilous, God is at work. He is doing new things, and those things involve us. I have felt the Lord speaking of great things he intends to do in his church, in his people, and in the world. things that have been extraordinary will become more ordinary. I believe Christians are being raised up to do great and miraculous things for God. All this will be done through the hand of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. It will be incredible. In fact, so incredible that we would not believe it, even if we were told about it.
    There are supernatural things happening. The things God is doing are not accomplished by the hands of men, they are accomplished by God in the supernatural realm and he will use us to do his will in the physical. This requires us to be open to him. We must listen and be attentive to the things he says. We must pay attention to what is happening around us, so we will be ready to go when called. In the Old Testament book of Judges, Gideon was given a great task to overtake nations. God gave him an army, and then proceeded to reduce the number of men. He told Gideon to tell all the men who were afraid to go home. The majority of the army left. Those who remained were taken to a water pool to drink. The men who laid down to drink directly from the water were sent home. Only those who lapped the water from their hands to their mouths were called to be part of the army. The once large army became a band of about 300. God only wanted those who were alert. He wanted those who were ready to answer the call. Though there were few, they defeated great armies because of God's supernatural intervention.
    Are we ready? Are we alert and paying attention to the Holy Spirit? We are going to be utterly amazed at what God will do. We will be a part of it, but it won't be our strength that brings it about. God will win the victory. How exciting are these unbelievable days!
