Not only are we invited into the banquet, we are commanded to do "As the Master told his servant, "Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full." This means to go to the Body of Christ, seek its brokenness, its isolation, its denial... and Cast HIS light into those who wander those highways and byways...Take God's Love and Invitation to them. When Our Father arranges the radical, intentional beyond the walls of the church occurrences that He does, we stand in awe of what occurs...People SEE God and are drawn to Him when they see His & are apart of His generosity, His Agape Love and His Passion to serve in us. Where do we go ? We don't have to go far ! We go into our communities, to our streets, to our people and we go armed with nothing but His Love. God has abundant work already in place in our midst, as we join Him in that work we SEE Him reveal His ways and open hearts. That occurred Sept 7th for a few brief hours on National Road in Wheeling, W.V. A group of people, just like you & I stood in the streets and GAVE...Gave His bounty which HE has made us stewards of, from that God reached the ends of the earth, peoples hearts, time and treasures were freely given to build God's Kingdom. It indeed was a miracle. Something very special also occurred in the doing of that call. As these servants tarried at their task of intentional service, a stranger appeared, we later learned that His name was Charles McIntyre. Charles walked up to us with a backpack on, an unshaven face and the smell of the road upon him, and He offered His Service. He joyfully served in gifted ways the entire time that we did..he became GOD'S Voice... With Megaphone in hand He announced the cause we were about and invited loudly all with ears to hear. That is Him with the Megaphone. When we completed our mission of "Going into the Highways and Byways," I shared his story with the crowd, He was homeless, hitch-hiking to Texas, He walked up at a perfect time...or WAS SENT !! Many offered him a bed for the night, we fed him and gave him some of God's Treasure so that he could feed himself, he ever so humbly accepted and bid us farewell and disappeared down the Highway, taking along with Him a stout dose of God's Mighty Kingdom come to earth. No better day could have been planned. We were indeed both visited by an angel and became His messenger in the streets for His Purposes. What miraculous occurrence will YOU see or make happen in the days to come? You will ONLY know if you GO & GIVE...as He commands. It is really oh so simple and so underused and ignored..BUT it is YOURS to experience.. Your call, the one we put on hold.. May you go quickly armed with nothing but His Heart ! Praise God !
