I’m calling out to the remnant to rise up into your identity and your calling and stop being afraid. If you’ve felt like the Lord wanted to use you, if you felt like He had a plan for your life, if you sense something deep inside you trying to get out and that the Lord wants to do something new in your life—a new work that He wants to raise up within you—friend, today this is for you. The Lord is raising up people like never before. This is a season of revival. It is a season of awakening, and for those things to continue to come to fruition, the people of God, the remnant, must step into the places and callings that God has for their lives.
Let me begin with Scripture.
Mark 1:2-3 NKJV—As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” [3] “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.’”
We know this speaks of John the Baptist, whom Jesus referred to. John the Baptist was a prophet prophesied by Isaiah, destined to come before Jesus walked the earth. When John baptized people in the river, he cried out for repentance and for fruits of righteousness. He proclaimed many truths that paved the way for Jesus to come on the scene and preach the Kingdom of God.
Friend, I believe that in these last days, God is raising up those same kinds of people again—ones in the spirit and essence of John the Baptist, who will prepare the way of the Lord.
Let me just say this: every person has a place of influence. Every person has an opportunity to be part of the remnant. Everyone can help prepare the way of the Lord. You just need to be open, fearless, and bold to do your part.
The Lord wants to mobilize thousands of His remnant online to reach people that will be reached in no other way. Refuse to give into fear on this. Make that video. Post that word from the Lord. Share that reel.
You are part of a movement of God’s Remnant Warriors. Your voice will ripple through the waters of the online space and land in the ears of those intended by the Holy Spirit. While many decry the use of social media, the Lord refuses to be held back by religion and the entanglements of past methods. To reach a billion soul harvest means multiplied voices are needed to give voice to the message.
This is you.
If you have felt that tug and pull from the Holy Spirit, give in.
Cast out your fears and speak in faith. To have a voice, you have to be a voice!
There are some of you right now who have had a desire in your heart to create a video. You have had words coming to your heart that you think, “I’ve never experienced this before.” But here you find this word in your heart and mind, and you believe it’s from the Holy Spirit. What should you do? Many of you desire to create a reel on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, and the people around you may decry those things, saying, “God could never use that.”
But I tell you, around the earth right now, God is raising up bold voices who refuse to be held back by what everyone else is saying.
They are posting those videos and sharing those words from the Lord, and they are reaching people. The reason that’s in your heart right now, friend, is that God, the Holy Spirit, put it there. He put it there so you would reach a person that nobody else could reach. He has a plan for your life. He has a plan for your voice.
I want to speak to those who feel insignificant or think they don’t have a vast audience. As I’ve said before, I don’t have a huge audience, but I will be faithful to speak to the one that God puts in front of the screen or allows me to speak into their ears through their earbuds, AirPods, or headphones. I will be faithful to speak into that person’s spirit through the word of the Lord. God is trying to get a word of encouragement, release, revival, power, and victory to them.
The same is true for you. You have a word from God. If you have any desire at all, you have a word from God.
Let me also say that for some, that desire will be a calling. It will be something they are supposed to do on an ongoing basis.
I feel like that’s part of my calling. Not only am I a pastor, but I am someone online called to spread the gospel, share the good news of Jesus, and help raise up and encourage the remnant. I’m going to be faithful to do that, waiting on the voice of the Lord for clarity and direction.
For some, that will be a calling. For others, you will have moments of divine inspiration. In those moments, you will feel something rise up inside you, and you will have a word that you feel needs to be spoken.
Friend, the word in that moment is from the Lord, and He is using you as a voice for His Kingdom.
You need to be bold, courageous, and fearless enough to release the word and speak it. Or maybe it’s a video. Maybe you’ll only do it a few times. Whatever it is, be obedient to God. Be obedient to God because the Lord desires to use ...
