You must be shamelessly persistent, compelling, forceful, and swift

There are four greek words that must define our outlook, and disposition in this last days, especially in this 70 days revival: anadeia (persistent), biazo (forceful), anakgazo (compelling), and Harpazo (swift).

‭‭Luke‬ ‭11:5‭-‬13‬ ‭teaches that men must be shamelessly persistnt in prayer. He talks about the greek word ANADEIA. He encourages us to be shamelessly persistent in prayer!;

[5] And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; [6] for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? [7] And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

[8] I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. [9] And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. [10] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

[11] If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? [12] Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? [13] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

In ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:1‭-‬8‬, the Lord emphasises the same concept and doctrine. We must learn to persist in prayer and push shamelessly until we get results;

[1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. [4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

[5] yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. [6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? [8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

‭‭Luke‬ ‭14:16‭-‬24 ‭however reveal the second Greek word, ANAGKAZO. The Lord encourages us to  be persistently compelling in evangelism. The Lord wants us to shameless compel people into the church untill there is no room;

[16] Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: [17] and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. [18] And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. [19] And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

[21] So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. [22] And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. [23] And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. [24] For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:12‬ ‭reveal the concept of BIAZO. we know the voilent takes it by force. We must be voilent and aggressive in our pursuit;

[12] And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Outpouring All Night Service

I have said again and again that a man dealing with a roaring lion shall not follow a shepherd bleating like a goat. There must be a roar in your voice as a singer and preacher.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:22‭-‬23‬ ‭speaks of swiftness, HARPAZO; thiw is the season to be swift and be on the move. We can not play games and procastinate anymore. We must be swift in all that we have to do;

[22] And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

This is the time to revive the pillars on which our church was built and thrived. We are rising to revive PRAYER, EVANGELISM, FELLOWSHIP, AND WORSHIP.

Stay bleseed
