from pastor Rich Allcorn 

Ever see an animal caught in a trap?  Do they sit there, quietly and wait for the fox or the wolf to come and eat them as they sit there, helpless? 

Nope!  They call out!  They, in fact "cry out, loudly and a lot!  Why?  Because they don't want to be there!  They don't really know what to do about the situation, but they do know that they want out of that trap, and they want out - right now! 

Something the Spirit of GOD said through me at a meeting of pastors recently keeps going over in my mind and in my heart.  He said, "How much longer will my people remain silent?" 

You see, when Jesus came into the Earth, He gave us "authority"!  He told us to "Go" in His name, and He gave us things that we are to do ... to get done!  He even promised us that "we" would do even greater things than He had done while here in the Earth!  Do you hear that?  "Greater things"! 

So, if we have authority given to us, and we are told we have the "keys to the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 16:19), so I know the Spirit of GOD has got to be wondering why! 

"Why" are His people just sitting there, quietly awaiting the slaughter?  "Oh, I just can't wait for GOD to come and rescue me out of this ..."   Well, I've  got news for you.  He's not!  GOD did not put you here to take you back out!  He put you here for a purpose! 

GOD has a purpose and a vision ... for YOU!  And HE expects "YOU" to carry it out.  He has given you His Word, His power, His authority, His righteousness, and even HIS Spirit so that you have an "instructor" to teach you how to get it done! 

What are we waiting for?   "SPEAK!" 

(just give this some thought ... and prayer)
