LAST CALL

THE LAST CALL

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

The message of the Spirit is "COME, COME COME."

It is a UNIVERSAL CALL. No one is excluded. No one is forbidden entry. It crosses all boundaries known to humanity-- family, city, state, race, nation and continent.

It is a CALL OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. It is the Spirit, moving upon the hordes of humanity-- like it moved upon the animals who were gathered into the Ark of Noah. It is also similar to the moving of the Spirit upon the multitudes who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem as He was riding upon the young ass, the foal of an ass.

All humanity will HEAR the call, but not all will HEED the call. It has never been so-- it will never be so, until all sin and rebellion has been crushed and destroyed by the Lord of the Universe.

Jesus must have been referring to this Last Call when He said that He would build His Church, and the gates of hell should not prevail against it.

Jesus likened His Kingdom to a grain of mustard seed. From a small beginning, it would grow to be a dominant force in the earth.

He likened it also to LEAVEN-- a small amount placed in the dough, works until the WHOLE LUMP is leavened. The leaven of the Spirit is "working" in the earth today. It has never ceased to "work" since the Day of Pentecost. It will NEVER CEASETO WORK, until the WHOLE IS LEAVENED.

This is our hope. This is our expectation. This is our promise from God.

Believe it. Trust it. His promises never fail.
