Mark Chapter 10: 17-21
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’
“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy."
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
I was waking up this morning, in that place where you just finished dreaming and you are slowly waking up, and i heard the Lord speaking to my heart. He said, 'My heart aches for the people of China'. He knows that there are countless people dying in China, and that life is so much more difficult for them than it needs to be. The common people have no say about what is happening, They have obeyed the govt policies even when those policies have hurt them so much. There is no comfort for the people when their loved ones are dying, their economy is hurting because of bad business practices, and the will of the Chinese communist party is upheld because of fear.
It is only in the shaking that hard human hearts will wake up to the realities of their lives. You will not believe in God until you have no other option to do so. This is true all over the world. There is not a place anywhere that is not affected by weather, war, and bad politics. We all need to understand the message that the Lord is shouting to the inhabitants of the earth. - what you sow you shall also reap….
The non believers want to believe that they can do this life by themselves, they worship at their own altar and believe that man has the capacity to solve its own problems. Well, it is very hard to solve a problem that you cannot see. If you are unwilling to believe that there is a problem in the human heart that only the love and grace of Jesus can fix, you will never see your own faults and weaknesses.
The signs are all over the place, yet most people want to go on with their lives as if there is always another solution to be found over the next hill, and every time they come over the hill, they find a new problem.
Jesus loves the people of China, and He wants to help them, but first they must come to the realization that they need His help, and be willing to repent of their sins. It will not be easy for them to admit it to themselves, much less to the whole world, but it is the only solution that they have to save their tattered nation…
