MARANATHA! COME LORD JESUS! Zephaniah 1:14-18, Acts 2:1-17

One who cries "Maranatha" is aware, sensitive and alert to God's warnings about the 'Day of the Lord', the day of terror.

* End times pre-rapture (our present situation)

* End times at tribulation

* End times at final judgement

These all flow into each other because they are continuations. He/she is sensitive to know but not be part of it. He/she seeks to go the opposite direction- the direction of the Lord. He/she seeks cover and protection from the great day of the Lord. He/she's aware there are always two sides to prophesy and seeks to be on the blessed, not the cursed side.

Acts 2:1-4. He tarries in prayer till he receives the Holy Spirit, the Seal and Driver of the divine life in him.
Lord, baptise me, immerse me, endue me with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:4-13. He boldly speaks the wonderful works of God via his life and words in the different situations he finds himself in- the different languages of life.
Lord, grant me boldness to stand up for Jesus in all situations- before men, before sin and habits of life, before mammon, before my children, before the system, before anyone, or anything!

Acts 2:14-15. He pursues the unity of the faith and stands with the leaders to sound the same alarm and blow the same trumpet of the full Gospel- Peter with the 11, Gideon with the 300.
Lord, help me keep the unity of the faith in the bond of the Holy Spirit and of peace. Let my life reflect the unity of the Trinity, not the discord of the enemy.

Acts 2:16. He is sensitive to God's Word and he can connect different parts to make a whole. He interprets God's dealings with him in the light of God's Word. He is not careless with his encounters with God's Word. "This is that which was spoken by Joel..."
Lord, make me sensitive to Your Word and help me connect everything You are saying to me to make a completeness that leads me to Your purpose for my life.
Don't let my life be aimless and purposeless due to lack of sensitivity to Your Word.

Acts 2:17. He quickly keys into the blessed side of prophesy and he keeps knocking till the door of that blessedness opens to him. He does not give up till he enters.

* God pours out His Spirit on him.

* He prophesies

* He sees visions

* He dreams dreams

He quickly throws away any habit that would rob him of this blessedness.
Lord, give me grace to say "NO" to evil habits of life, harmless as they may seem.

He presses on the Holy Spirit to keep him in this blessedness and grows his roots in it for as long as he lives. He seeks to know nothing among men except Christ crucified.
Lord, Make me rooted in Christ all my days. Don't let me be porous and leaky. Establish me in this blessedness.

He dwells in the fear of the Lord so he is free from the fear of God's judgement.
Lord, teach me the fear of the Lord so I can dwell in safety and be free from Your terrible judgement.

He cries "MARANATHA" both with his life and with his words.
Lord, let "MARANATHA" become my life, day and night.

MARANATHA!! COME LORD JESUS!!
