I sent this to the 200 pastors I mentor by email and was told I should send it to all of you. So here goes. I believe this was of God.. If you are not on my mentor list write and ask to be on it for free...
I saw the presidential inauguration with the million or so people standing in freezing weather, some coming at 4 a.m. to get close to the front. And what did they see? They saw the swearing in of the "most powerful man in the world", the President of the United States. Oh, I wish I had the eloquence to paint the picture in my mind right now.
One day, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord's. God Himself. is going to be recognized and crowned with glory. He wont need a million dollar robe or the most elaborate crown to make Him stand out. He Himself with radiate as bright as the sun and moon together. And WE SHALL SEE HIM. We will not rave and clap and shout and wave little flags around.. I think we shall fall on our faces and worship Him and weep with the joy of heaven on our faces.
Oh, dear pastor, every Sunday when people come to our churches, they ought to see some of that glory and be overwhelmed to be in the house of almighty God. Above all they come to see HIM. WE MUST make Him stand out that people will run to kneel before Him and get saved.
The Truth, it all starts with you and me. If we have looked on His glory, in His word in our study, it will radiate on our faces as it did Moses. If we are as THRILLED to our bones to pastor His redeemed people, to be called out by the Lord of Lords to have a burning message right from God for these people, we could transform the world in a few short days. I don't know what to say except to say, what kind of a person do your people look in the face Sunday after Sunday. PLEASE don't get more excited at the super bowl game as you do at the game of life Sunday after Sunday. Don't put on the sweet pastors smile but let the joy of God in your soul burst out to stir up everyone there. I love you and pray you will so possessed of God Sunday they will talk about the One you told them about Sunday all week long. ABC Sumner
