Don't Quit Now 
by Dr. Larry Ollison 

Something has changed. There has been a shift in time. The spirit realm
is on alert. Something is about to happen. Heaven is preparing for a search
and rescue mission. Jesus is prepared and ready to return with the spirits
of the saints of God and call forth the bodies of the living and the dead
who are the church. We are in the final moments before rescue. This is not
the time to give up or lose heart. 
Paul said, "When I was a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a
child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (1 Corinthians
13:11). Paul was not saying that it was sinful to be a child or that there
was anything wrong with being a child. Children are children. Children are
young and think like children, act like children, and talk like children.
But there is a time when a person is no longer a child. At that time,
wisdom would say put away the childish things and walk in the new season. 

For over 1,900 years the church existed in an era looking toward the end
of days. For 1900 years the earthly nation of Israel did not exist. The
biblical prophecies of the future said that it would, but it didn't. And so
during these 1,900 years, the great men and women of God, who were called
to proclaim the Word of God, spoke of a future - a future when Israel would
become a nation and a time when that generation would not pass away until
all of the prophecy of the end of days had taken place.

On May 15, 1948 a miracle took place. A nation that had not been a nation
for 2,000 years, a nation that had no army, no land, no national currency,
and no government came into existence in one day. That nation occupied the
prophetic land that the prophets of old had predicted. The nation of Israel
was re-born and the church moved into a new era. 

For centuries the church had taught about the time that was to come, but
today we are in that time. The fulfillment of prophecy is upon us. We are
no longer children thinking about maturity, but we are now the mature
church preparing to be received into the glory. It's time to build upon the
basics we have learned. It's time to be mature. It's time for the church to
walk in the strength and power that was prophesied all those centuries ago,
(Ephesians 5:27) - "He did this to present her to himself as a glorious
church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be
holy and without fault." 

If you are a born again believer, you are the church and you have a
responsibility to walk in the full anointing, to stand in full faith, and
to be the conduit in which God flows His miracle power into the earth by
way of His Holy Spirit. The time of playing church is over. The church has
been in training for a long time. But now is the time to walk in what we've
been trained for. 

For centuries the church has been preparing for this time, and recently
the preparation has been intense. But now, we must apply the knowledge and
walk in the anointing and power we have been given. Only by walking in this
strength will we be the glorious church that the Lord is coming to get. 

The games of childhood are behind us and the solemnest of our calling is
at hand. As we press into this new time, you have the responsibility to
speak God's Word in such a way that those who hear will have life changing
experience. If someone needs salvation, counsel, or healing, you should be
the instrument of deliverance.

The words you speak and the actions you take should be so led by the Holy
Spirit that there will be no doubt that you represent the King of Kings.
The pettiness of offense and un-forgiveness should drop off. As a church,
we must not look back at past failures or even past accomplishments, but
must place all our effort on preparation for the return of our Savior. 

The enemy has increased his attack because he sees his end drawing near.
Because you are the church, you are the one being attacked. As you well
know, the mission statement of the enemy is to steal, kill, and destroy.
But the enemy has no authority over you. His only weapon is his mouth and
it only has power when you place your belief with his words. 

So as we press into this new era, do not fear. Do not become discouraged
and above all, do not quit now. We are only moments away from hearing the
great shofar blow in the heavens and seeing the appearing of our Savior.

God is on the move transforming a people who will prophesy according to
His plans and shake this world from its complacency. Divine alignments are
taking place as God is adjusting dry bones. When we align with God's plans
and purposes, we will discover we are in the right place at the right time
to receive favor and His great grace. The wind of the Spirit is blowing the
dust from our dry, disjointed bones. When we are knit together in a spirit
of unity, a strong, mobile skeletal structure will be revealed. By humbling
ourselves and turning our faces to God through repentance, the necessary
adjustments are made to bring restoration to the Body of Christ.

The breath of the Spirit is blowing upon an army of dry bones once again
(see Ezekiel 37:1-10). Our bones are in place, and muscles, sinew (uniting
muscle to bone), ligaments and a covering of flesh are being added. A fresh
breath of the prophetic is rising to bring new life and strength. Believers
who will prophesy according to God's will are on the scene to usher in the
new move of God.
