Great Commission or Great Omission?
By Francis Frangipane

Jesus warned that there would be great deception in the end times. Humility, therefore, tells us that we should not presume our personal expression of Christianity is aligned perfectly with God's heart. How can we examine ourselves? We can measure the focus of our lives with the last great command of the Lord, called by Bible scholars the "Great Commission."

What is the Great Commission? These were the "marching orders" Jesus gave His apostles just before He ascended. In other words, this is what He desired His church to be focused on until He returned. He said,

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you"(Matthew 28:19-20).

In essence Jesus wants us focused on two things: He wants us to "Go" with a view of bringing the lost into His kingdom. But He also wants the church at large to become Christlike: "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you." For some, however, the Great Commission...

Simultaneously two events will manifest on earth; they will be the result of one eternal source. The same increasing presence will cause wrath to descend upon the wicked and God’s glory to be seen upon the righteous. For we who fear the Lord, the "sun of righteousness" will rise with healing in its rays. (Malachi 4:1–3) - In Christ's Image Training

Pray for worldwide revival to go around the world as we declare God's word to the nations!

United States: Pray for repentance and a return to Christ and biblical values. If America experiences a genuine awakening, the impact will truly change the world. Pray as well for the US news agencies that are broadcasting the news under their own agenda, rather than just reporting the facts. Please ask God for mercy for our nation, justice, truth and that corruption would be uprooted, so that righteousness will prevail. That this nation would be "one nation under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all."

Those affected by Covid-19: Pray for healing and safety as well as the peace of Christ to rule and reign in the hearts of those affected by this virus. Please ask the Lord to use this pandemic for His glory and bring revival around the world. Pray for supernatual protection by the blood of Jesus.

Russia /Ukraine conflict: Pray for God to use this situation in both countries, that only His purposes come out of this invasion of Ukraine. Pray for salvations in both countries to be multiplied by the thousands.

Iraq: There has been an increase of bloodshed and warfare in Iraq. Please pray that this warfare doesn't escalate completely out of control.

North Korea: Pray for the leaders in North Korea to receive visitations from the Holy Spirit and that their hearts will be softened and work to restore peace.

Israel: Continued prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and peace with Israel's neighbors. Israel could be a great blessing for the surrounding nations.

The Lord said that His house would be called a house of prayer for all nations. At the center of the Lord's house, in the holiest place, is the mercy seat, where redemption for a sinful and suffering world is released through prayer. Your view that your culture is very corrupt may be precisely right. However, God tells us that He is looking for a man or woman who will intercede and stand in the gap for their people.

Every night my wife and I pray for our family, our friends and neighbors. We also pray for our community and America, our nation. We intercede for Israel but also for the Muslim world – especially where people are being destroyed by wars or oppressive regimes. We pray for people devastated by natural disasters, famines and poverty as well as those enslaved by human trafficking, drug addictions and gang violence. We also pray for reconciliation between North and South Korea and for revival to strike the Philippines (the largest Christian nation in Asia).

We believe that God does not want us to worry about the future, but to create the future by prayer. Will you join us?
