"The Urgency Of The Hour" by Glenice Mills

March 26th 2014

God is placing a demand on us all at this time to take our rightful position as His five fold women. The word demand is a forceful, weighty command from the throne of heaven. It is not some lightweight throw away word, but has a power behind it, Holy Spirit power from on high.

I know the prophet is always about the urgency of the hour but I need to emphasize at this time, that it is truly about the urgency of the hour!

Unfortunately, many of us have been caught up in the cares of this world and have become sidetracked by issues such as family, and work/ life struggles. This is not a criticism, but actually a ‘wake up call’, a call to come back on track. We all need to, (and this includes me), seriously consider what we are called to, and whether we are walking the path that the Lord has for us at this time. I need to personalize it now by asking some questions of you.

Have you done, and are you doing ALL the Lord is requiring of you at this time?

Have you let other things come and distract, and divert you from what you know deep in you
r heart you are truly meant to be doing right now?

Let us not get caught up in the snares and tactics of the enemy. His ruse is to take us off course because he knows that if we become sidetracked we will be ineffective. We need to know that one of the biggest tools of the enemy is distraction and though many of our doings appear to be well meaning, they are not always what we are truly meant to be doing. There has been a season of grace for this, but that grace is lifting off now. Again the Lord is emphasizing the urgency of the hour. Can I encourage you right now to stop, ask the Lord if you are positioned where you are meant to be, and ask Him what needs to be put in place so you are most effective.

We also need to examine what areas we hide behind. Sometimes it is easier for us as women to hide behind our family demands rather than come into the Lord’s plans for our lives. There are obvious times when family must come first, however, for example, if we are older in years the question we need to ask ourselves is ‘are we hiding behind the demands of our children/grandchildren because there is no responsibility there to come into our true destiny?
At its root is fear and we need to look at where this spirit has rule over our lives.

Are you caught in procrastination right now? Do you know that there is something you are meant to do in God but you keep putting it off. You hope it will go away and that somehow the Lord has conveniently forgotten what He is requiring of you. It is in fact rebellion.

The Lord’s question to you is: If you know you are meant to be doing something toward your call right now and for what ever reason you have chosen to go your way rather than the Lord’s, have you considered that maybe someone is missing out on what you uniquely carry in God?

If we truly knew the urgency of the hour would we not be more responsible for what the Lord is requiring of us right now?

We know we are called as five fold women therefore we are more accountable and more responsible for the God given gifts He has given us. He knows the plans for our lives. We dare not waste time, for indeed the time is short.

The truth is we do not know how long we have on this earth, and I am sure like me you want to fulfill ALL the Lord has for your life. The time for procrastination, hiding, fear and busyness is over. The Lord is giving opportunity right now for right choices to be made to move into your God given destiny.

Indeed the hour is urgent!
