Greetings friends and brothers.
At this time, God is forming a generation that wants to have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit and to which the Spirit can reveal God's heart, its secrets, its plans.
God wants your powerful Word to be revealed in our nation, to draw everyone to His plan and His program, but it is up to us to make ourselves available to His initiatives by renewing our minds and beginning to think as He thinks.
Knowing God's plans means receiving a revelation from Him that will be imprinted indelibly on us. After all, even on a natural level, to know a person and recognize it among so many and in every situation, we must first know his face.
God had difficulties with Peter and had to give him visions to make him understand that the Gentiles were part of his plan of salvation, but when he sent him to Cornelius and Peter, he obeyed, even before he finished preaching, the power of God was manifested and everyone present began to speak in other languages.
A similar difficulty was that Jesus met with the other disciples, even if He had sent them to preach the Gospel to all the creatures, making them understand that their plan of salvation did not refer only to Israel, they only went to the synagogues, thus blocking God's purpose.
Certainly, all the apostles could preach beautifully, but they had forgotten the great mandate: "Go and preach the gospel to every creature." That is why the persecution was necessary to expel them from their territory.
Let's prepare the way of the Lord.

Only when some had the courage to proclaim the Gospel to the Greeks, favoring God's purpose, many believed in Antioch and converted to the Lord.
To operate, God had to find people who understood his purpose, obeyed and thus allowed his hand to move.
Acts 11: 19-24
19 Now those who had been scattered because of the persecution that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed on to Phenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, not speaking to anyone but to the Jews. 20 But there were men among them from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they entered Antioch, also spoke to the Greeks, announcing the gospel of the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22 The news of these things came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch. 23 This man, when he came and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all, that with a purpose of heart they might remain faithful to the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large crowd was added to the Lord
Today God wants people who are committed and willing to expand their kingdom here on earth. He wants to bless our nation and for that, people must have a genuine encounter with him, know his face, receive Christ in their hearts so that the love of God is reflected in society ... and if society reflects the love of God. Christ, things will improve in our country.
Let's not stop preaching his word wherever we are, let's do our work and the Lord will do the rest.
God Bless You In Great Way
