Virus

I was at a seminar a few weeks ago and was told about a virus. The Luke 10.2b virus. It's a prayer based out of Luke 10.2, "And He was saying to them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'"

How it works is you set an alarm on your phone to go off at 10:02 am everyday, and when it does you stop and pray that God will send you out into His harvest as a worker and that He will send other workers into the fields to work. For the last few weeks I've been doing this. For the last month I've been preaching on joining the work, discovering and using our Spiritual gifts, and working together to "re-build the walls". This past Sunday the message was out of John 5, the healing at the Pool of Bethesda.

In this story Jesus commands the man who has been laying there for 38 years to get up and walk. He is healed, stands and walks by God's power, but he still had to stand up and walk. God doesn't call the equipped, they don't see the need to trust Him. Instead God equips those He calls. When God calls you to a task He will empower you to do it. When God tells you stand up and walk for the first time in 38 years, He will strengthen you to do it. When God calls us to do the impossible He will give us the power to do it, but we've got to be willing to take that first step of faith and trust that He will come through.

We are all called to serve. We are all called to be laborers in the great harvest. Catch the virus, set your phone alarm for 10:02, and each day, "beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Spread the virus. When your phone goes off and people ask you what's up, tell them about Luke 10.2. "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;" spread the virus.

God has a great work that needs to be done, the workers are few, will you join them? Catch the virus, spread it, join the work.

Peace be with you
