"NOW" written by Karen S. McGary

The time is here for the church to wake up! No more complacency, no more apathetic lukewarm excuses! We must come before the Lord with desperate hearts! We must throw aside everything that entangles and every sin that holds us back and fall on our faces before our King. We must let the Holy Spirit turn up ground that has never seen the light. We cannot care any longer what others think of us. We cannot let fear rob us of what God Almighty longs to do in our lives and through our church! Arise church! Wake up! Do you want Him completely? Or do you want just a safe measure of Him? How can we have tasted of all His goodness and not give ourselves over to Him with reckless abandon!? What can the world offer us but heartache and deception; fleeting pleasures that wrap us in defeat? The Lord gives us life! Life abundant, forgiveness and truth! The church for too long has been sleeping and now that the last days are upon us we must wake up before it is too late! Know Him now! Surrender completely now! Serve Him with hearts brimming with love and adoration! Worship Him because He is worthy! Enter into prayer. Fast and seek Him wholeheartedly! Listen and cry out! The world wars for your soul but greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world! Do you believe that church?! We always want to make it someone elses fault: "well, they aren't seeking the Lord with passion" or "that person isn't opening up and letting the Spirit move." Is the Lord asking you to be the first? Is He asking you to lay your life down? Radical faith is our desperate need right now. Faith that is bold enough to throw caution to the wind and obey His voice.
