“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.”  Revelation 3:20 NAS

We are living toward the end of the Church Age, and approaching the time of the “Parousia” (appearing) of our Lord Jesus Christ.  This is the time in which the direct intervention of the Lord concerning His end-time purposes will begin.

At this present time, those who have fully submitted their lives to the Lord are being made ready to have a part with Him in the closing out (visitation and tribulation) of the time of the Gentiles, and in the setting up and establishing the Millennial Kingdom.

In his day, John the Baptist was “called apart” into a wilderness, so He could be prepared (made ready) for the appointed time, when he would introduce Jesus as “The Lamb of God.”

“Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.”  Luke 3:2

When John was asked who he was, his words revealed the deep inner work of preparation that had taken place in his life.

“He said, I am the voice of One crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.”  John 1:23

In effect, he said – “I am so emptied of self, that I have become the expression of not only the voice, but also the emotions of another, in every aspect of my being.”

So also today, there are those (you and I), who are being “moved upon” by the Holy Spirit in order to be “made ready,” so that we also might respond, as John did in his day.

Our constant prayer should be that we might become so available to the Lord, that He can, at any time, speak through us “a present word” – a word that will turn both lives and the nations, to the Lord.

This requires:

1.      Our “knowing” the voice of the Lord.

2.      Our being able to “recognize and respond” to His presence.

3.      Our having a willingness to become the expression of His life in the earth, at this present time.

The purpose of the articles on this web site, and the messages at the special Saturday morning meeting (first Saturday of each month) at the Church at Northern Virginia, in Oakton, Virginia, is to prepare a present day “corporate” John the Baptist, (you and I) to respond to the voice of our Lord, and become the expression of His life, among the nations of our day and time.

If your desire is to better know and serve our Lord, and if you are willing to be used in His end-time purposes, you are encouraged to read the articles on this web site, and if possible, attend this monthly meeting.
