Behold Now
“Now is the time to experience revival!" In this message, we are challenged to follow God's plan right now, not later.
Message Notes
“For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
God Works in Time
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth....And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Before light existed, God was already working in darkness.
Colossians 1:17: “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
Time is a gift from God, redeemed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
God redeems the past, moves in the present, and holds the future — but the only time we can obey Him is now.
2. Today Is the Time of Salvation
“Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee...”
Isaiah looked ahead to salvation; Paul declared it has arrived.
It’s arrogance to tell God, “I’ll say yes tomorrow,” when tomorrow isn’t promised.
The most valuable thing you can give God isn’t money — it’s the moment.
The greatest act of faith isn’t future planning — it’s present obedience.
3. The Urgency of Now
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
Wake up – God is calling His church to spiritual awareness in this hour.
Get up – Delayed obedience is disobedience; the right time to act is now.
Step up – Our salvation and calling are closer than ever; this is our moment to respond.
I won’t wait to do the will of God — I will do it today.
Response
Give God the moment – The most valuable thing you can offer isn’t your money or your plans, but your now.
Obey without delay – Tomorrow is not promised; delayed obedience is disobedience.
Live with urgency – Revival, repentance, and redemption are not future events—they’re available today.
