“Why What You Are Going Through Is So Important!”

by Lonnie Mackley  Aug. 15^th 2016

Some of you have probably wondered why the Lord is being so thorough in your time of preparation and purification, and there are several good reasons for it that I have listed below. Knowing why you are going through this and that there is a good purpose and end to it can help you to keep your faith and hang on during the tough times of extreme testing and warfare that you’ve been experiencing.

1. This is the last harvest of souls and we must become spiritually mature enough for God to flow through us to save, heal, and deliver as many people as possible before the Great Tribulation and the soon return of Jesus Christ to the earth. How many mature sons of God do you think there are per 100,000 unsaved people around you? Even though Jesus has strategically and geographically placed us in different areas the harvesters are still very few, so the responsibility and importance for each one of us to be ready and capable to walk in God’s power is evident. Each one of us reading this was once unsaved and someone took the time to help us get saved. How would you like to be facing the end as an unsaved person right now? That’s why God is not cutting any corners with you.

2. There are some very serious things about to take place in the earth where we must be ready to respond as disasters and horrendous things take place. It would take very little to create fabricated chaos and to declare martial law in order to suspend the normal order of things here. And once the structure breaks down it will act as a domino effect and can bring other countries down along with it. People will be in a major panic and looking for answers and help that can only come from the power and love of God flowing through His mature sons. Not to mention the incurable diseases that only God can heal, and the miraculous food multiplication that may be needed. This will not be a harvest for novices, but rather for people that have been through the fire of God’s most difficult challenges.

3. All of these new converts will need to be discipled and cared for during a time where most people will want to bolt and forsake God. These people will need spiritual mentors that can hold their hand in the worst of times. If another people are allowed to come and take over as a judgment against the sins of our people, you may have to be a spiritual and literal father or mother to the many masses of people that need to make it through this terrible time in history. In order for you to do that you need your flesh, sin, and selfishness dealt with and purged from you first by the sanctifying work of God’s Holy Spirit. He leaves no stone unturned and He will not let you fudge on weak areas that you would otherwise ignore and leave alone. This takes time, patience, and trials that can feel overwhelming.

So if you get weary or discouraged thinking that God is being too hard on you in this time of tough transition and preparation, then just know that you were born for this time in history, and that what you are going though is critical to the survival and salvation of many others. You will make it through this time, and you will be ready and very glad that God gave you the great honor of going through it!

^{RO 8:18} I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. ¹⁹ The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
