This morning in prayer God showed me an astonishing vision.

Please keep in mind as you read this that I am not talking of the physical realm here, but the spiritual.

The world is under attack by something akin to a hurricane. Rain is falling, the wind is whipping up, and people are plunging through water that is rising rapidly and will kill them. However, they are just like the people we watched on the news from the French Quarter in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina - partying on in utter denial of what is happening.

We see the people of the world drowning in ick but smiling about it and have to wonder… are they singing, “If all the raindrops were m&m’s and gumdrops”… ? Do they see the wind as some sort of spiritual blessing and the rising water as a great pool of sweet tea to swim in? So it would seem, by the way people - especially Americans - are rushing to jump into the sea of relativistic religions. We in Christ have no blinders and we can see that pool of sweet tea isn’t so sweet. ::cries::

We (ExWitch, similar evangelistic ministries, the church) are like the rescue workers that are hurrying to the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - by bus, boat, helicopter, any way they can get there.

• How dangerous is the work? Sometimes it’s deadly. Yet we must willingly go.

• How many people did not heed the initial warnings to evacuate? How many are still there now, trapped and awaiting rescue?

• How many will become sick simply from drinking that contaminated water? We hold the pure water of life? We can’t keep it bottled up in the church. We’ve GOT to take this precious gift out to the storm victims who so desperately need it. They are the ones who are going to die without it.

• How many are still stubbornly holding out, even with the floodwaters rising… holding onto their torn up homes and businesses and families lost and saying they do not need to be saved? What they’re lost to doesn’t matter… it could divorce, homosexuality, pornography, gang violence, street crimes, separation due to religious differences… what matters is that they are hopelessly helplessly lost.

• What of the those who are becoming more and more lawless - spiritually looting and pillaging from this religion and that? When the waters rise and they lose what they’ve scrabbled for - we must come in a liferaft for them. They must not be left behind.

• How many will die there because they refuse to leave?

• How many will die because no one came to get them? God cries real tears for these people.

We are called to be rescue-workers. Get in a boat. Blow up a life-raft. Put on a harness and board a helicopter. Wade out and give someone a hand out of the flood. Start handing out living water from right where you are. Don’t you dare stand still.
