May Day, May Day!

Why do I even try to sleep in on Saturdays? These children of mine! Their alarm clock never fails or shuts off. Not that they really wanted to go out in the rain to potty. Poor Snap kept looking at me and then outside, looked up at me as to ask, seriously mom? You want me to go out in that? With much coaxing, ok with a shove, he went out.
I wasn't to excited either, God had been stirring in my heart to go back into the fields of the highways and byways of outreach for church. So I have been preparing and planning on doing some outreach. All week long nothing has gone as planned. So when I looked out and saw the pouring rain I was like this shouldn't surprise me, the old devil is trying to stop me. Then BOOM, God spoke to my spirit and said REALLY? Elaine satan doesn't control the weather, I do, along with everything else. What was your excuse last Saturday? It was too pretty? Have you ever thought that these obstacles were my doing? WOW! Of course anyone that knows me, knows sometimes I don't know when to shut up. But I am learning! My respond to God about the rain was Yes, but God, at least you let Noah finish building the Ark before you sent the rain. Let's just say that didn't go well. He responded, "Noah took advantage and worked while he had the opportunity! I have been crying out warning after warning. It will be too late to cry out May Day, May Day after the rapture or if you should die before preparing for your trip for eternity." Ouch, burn! You see God has been stirring my heart for the past several weeks about prayer and fasting. Not just the little quick prayers that we have been doing! He said you have allowed the microwaveable popcorn world into my church. He said you use to travail for the lost, intercede and fast for your friends and family. Now you pray 4 or 5 minutes and if things aren't popping you get up and go check the setting on the microwave. I am coming back soon and I am separating the sheep from the goats. Are you going to follow me or butt heads with the goats? If you are going to follow me the road is not going to be the popular, shortest or the easiest, but the trip will be worth it. So these things I have placed in your life are to see how determine you are to follow me and reach the lost. Oh and he is so right I have been consumed by junk. The last few weeks God has been speaking to us as a church body through preaching, tongues interpretations, dreams and visions. A couple weeks ago God put a thought in my mind about reaching the lost. He said May is upon us and there are many crying out May Day, May Day! You see May Day, May Day is the official distress cry of ships or planes in extreme danger. God said "this world, my people are in extreme danger. He said I don't just mean those that are lost in the sea of life, but my people, my church needs to cry out May Day, May Day!" He said May 1 is May Day! What a great idea to have an outreach to reach those in distress. Then I thought this is silly May 1 probably isn't even on a Sunday. I checked guess what it is! I am not sure why I doubt his voice. He never fails, but then doubt started in again and pushed it to the back of my mind. Then while working out at the gym the News was on and what flashed across the bottom of the screen? Yep, May Day, May Day! Slap, slap wake up! Then last Sunday Sis. Harmon wanted me to share my testimony of how my family were won to God. In the process God impressed upon me to share my May Day story. Bro. Treat gets up to preach and his message is "Do you hear what I hear"? He preached the church has gone deaf, dumb and blind. I couldn't repent fast enough! We are walking around like zombies, punch our time cards and sitting back waiting for God to just come get us. I have news for you I have read no where that it is what we are to be doing. Just the contrary and we can't wait until conditions are right.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 KJV
[4] He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
While we are sitting on our pews we are being lured to sleep. We have taken on the attitude we will just let those that won't heed just slip off into hell. The spirit of servant hood and humility have seem to be forgotten. The thing is not doing anything to stop them is just as bad. We might as well follow them because we are just as lost sitting on the pew. I don't know about you but I don't want to be lost and I want to be a "Soul Winner" as I blogged yesterday. God gave me a dream about hell and I don't want anyone to perish and go there. I told my husband the next morning as bad as the physical torment of hell was in my dream the worst part was the torment of the mind. You are in total darkness forever alone! You can cry out, scream as loud as you can but no one will hear your cries. This is going to be for eternity! I think it is hard for us to imagine what eternity is. I heard it described like this, imagine a little sparrow going to the ocean, filling his beak with water over and over trying to empty all the water, impossible task, it will never end! Hollywood wants to paint the picture it will be a forever party with the devil. Dancing, drinking, drugs, all pleasures of the flesh forever with satan. Satan is a liar, he knows what it will be like and he doesn't want to go alone. So cry out May Day, May Day today while the Life Savior can still hear your distress call. He is standing by to rescue you.
I am sending out a distress signal today myself. May Day, May Day! Can anyone hear me? May Day, May Day! I am in trouble, send help, May Day, May Day! Help! Can anyone hear me? My family and friends are in trouble! May Day, May Day! We are about to go under, the ship is about to capsize! Can anybody hear me? May Day, May Day! Is anyone listening? We will surely perish! May Day, May Day! May Day, May Day!
Until later, if I row by your house today I am just about doing my fathers business. I have to cry out May Day, May Day before its to late! Remember God is standing by to answer your cry you are never to lost for him to rescue you!
