Penghalang Kegerakan Penginjilan Sedunia

Yang menjadi penghalang kegerakan Penginjilan sedunia adalah:

1. Peraturan organisasi/manusiawi/duniawi dari gereja.
   
2. Tidak adanya kesatuan di dalam Tubuh Kristus.
3. Banyak Kristen yang belum dipenuhkan / dibaptis dengan Roh Kudus.
   

Kegerakan penginjilan sedunia bisa juga diartikan sebagai kegerakan rohani sedunia atau kegerakan memberitakan kabar baik / firman Allah / kebenaran Allah ke seluruh penjuru dunia dengan kuasa Roh Kudus.

Gereja di akhir jaman ini tidak boleh lupa / menyimpang dari misi utamanya. Kebaktian persekutuan memang bagus dan perlu, tetapi yang jauh lebih penting dari itu adalah kegerakan untuk menyebarkan kabar tentang Yesus Kristus ke setiap orang di seluruh dunia, karena ini adalah misi utama dari Tuhan Yesus kepada Gereja (Markus 16:15-18, Lukas 24:47-49, Matius 28:18-20). Karena satu orang saja bertobat dan menerima Yesus kristus, maka jutaan malaikat dan umat Allah di surga pasti bersorak sorai. (Lukas 15:10).

Apa arti Injil? Injil artinya kabar baik yang isinya adalah bahwa setiap orang di dunia ini harus bertobat dari segala dosanya dan percaya kepada Yesus Kristus sebagai Juruselamat, supaya dengan jalan orang tersebut boleh menerima pengampunan dosa yang datangnya dari Allah.

Mengapa harus bertobat dari segala dosa dan percaya kepada Yesus? karena undang-undang kerajaan Allah akan diterapkan secara penuh di bumi ini pada waktu kedatangan Yesus Kristus kedua kali (baca: kiamat). Siapa yang tidak percaya pasti akan dihukum dengan hukuman kekal di neraka yang menyala-nyala.

Mengapa harus beriman kepada Yesus Kristus? karena Yesus Kristus telah melakukan kehendak Allah untuk mati di kayu salib, dengan maksud, menjadi korban sembelihan yang sanggup menyenangkan hati Allah sehingga Allah tidak menjatuhkan murka-Nya kepada manusia yang berdosa. Ya... Yesus Kristus telah menjadi Imam Besar, yakni Perantara antara Allah dan manusia, Dia telah menjadi korban perdamaian yang menghalangi jatuhnya murka Allah kepada manusia, asal manusia itu beriman kepada Yesus Kristus sebagai Penyelamat.

Sungguh, di akhir jaman ini, siapa yang dengan segera percaya kepada Injil dialah yang berbahagia, mengapa berbahagia? karena dia menerima jaminan hidup kekal dan janji-janji Allah yang luar biasa.

The Vision of the Return of Christ (David Michael)

(Isaiah 63:1) says: Who is this Who comes from Edom, with crimson-stained garments from Bozrah [in Edom]? This One Who is glorious in His apparel, striding triumphantly in the greatness of His might. It is I Who speaks in righteousness [proclaiming vindication] mighty to save.

Also, Habakkuk 3:3-15 God came from Teman (Yemen) and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens , and the earth was full of His praise. And His brightness was as the light, He had horns coming out of His hand, and there was the hiding place (Tabernacle) of His power. (Please locate and read the rest of the passage.) Isaiah 34:9&10; Psalms 110; Psalms 45; Rev. 19; Jude 14 & 15 emphasis Authors

What David saw and experienced was absolutely extraordinary. He saw the return of the Lord Jesus, Who had descended from heaven into earth's atmosphere, moving through the skies above Teman (Yemen and Saudi Arabia.) He literally experienced what it would be like to be taken up to be with the Lord and to return with Him in the air. I will try to share it with you as he gave it to me, as if that could ever be possible.

As the experience opened I suddenly felt as though I had been taken to another place. I looked around and saw gathered all around me, a countless number of saints. Their faces were beautiful and radiant, for they were there for the marriage supper of the Lamb. His bride, of which, I was a part had been caught up to be with Him in the air suspended in His Tabernacle, high in the sky above the Arabian Peninsula. We were hidden in the canopy of the divine bridal chamber. As I looked around, I realized I was in a building that was larger than anything that I had ever seen before. It was both vast, and tall. The ceiling was so tall that had the building been constructed upon the earth it seems as though one could have perhaps seen it from neighboring states. One can imagine the immensity of a building designed to hold the saints from antiquity to the time of the great catching away of the Church.

As I looked up, suddenly the veil opened and I saw Messiah sitting upon His throne overlooking with wonder and delight His perfected bride. As Messiah's eyes moved slowly across the great community of saints, he would look deep and penetratingly into the eyes of each one, captivating and caressing their soul with His tender love. So it was with me. When our eyes met, I felt His approval, His great delight that I was there with Him. I could see and understand His weighty purpose for my life and for the Church on earth. At the same time I had an understanding of eternity
itself. Joy overflowing filled my heart. Deep thankfulness for all that I now understood only added to the exhilarating joy. The pageantry, the joyous
merriment, the bridal song, the dance of the bride was all part of this suspended moment of long awaited intimacy with our Beloved. Finally, we knew Him as we were known. In what were perhaps only minutes, love's fulfillment was greater than the heart could ever have been prepared for. Everything I ever wanted to feel or ever could have hoped to feel was exploding inside me. Yet I was fixated upon Him with such serene calm. Love divine was possessing my very being and sweeping me away with adoration and wonder.

Yet, even in this incredible moment in time encapsulated by His love, riveted upon His watchful and tender gaze we were able to know anything we
wanted or needed to know about anything, even those things that did not necessarily pertain to the Chamber in which we were hidden. We also knew the things that were occurring upon the earth. Earth was very dark and the space between this heavenly Tabernacle and earth was filled with clouds so black as to beggar description. What was happening on earth itself was hideously evil and perilous beyond my limited human vernacular to explain. Only a drastically reduced number of the human race was left. Many lay dying within the earth's desolation. Human carnage was everywhere. We thought as our awareness of the earthly desolations increased, there has never been anything like this in the history of the human race. It left us with an awesome soberness. Yet, being encapsulated by His wonderful love and wisdom, did this knowledge in any way take away from the wonder of being with our Beloved who is just in all that He does.

Destiny began to grip our hearts as we realized that we must soon respond to its call to re-enter earth to save all of Israel and the remaining Gentiles who were awaiting the coming of the true King of Israel. All of Israel was waiting, looking for their Messiah to come and deliver them. We saw the huge commonwealth of Jewish people desperately searching for Him who alone could save them. Messiah knew of the imminent deliverance He was about to make. We could feel His growing anticipation of this final crescendo, in human history when at last He would take His rightful place as the King of all the earth. As His anticipation and joy grew, so did ours, for we were now one in heart with Him whom we loved. But, everything was set to precision timing. At this moment He was enjoying intimacy with His Bride, while yet the Holy Spirit and His angels were carefully caring for those who were His on the earth preserving them for His appearing.

In what seemed like the next moment, it was time, and the descent to earth to take up His throne was upon us. Our Messiah began to lead us forth in our gradual descent, still hidden in the clouds not yet seen with the naked eye. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people were eagerly awaiting His coming. Knowing He was coming to a people who were ready to make Him King, Messiah with His grand entourage continued to descend until He reached the skies just above the Mount Paran at which time we began to move parallel to the mountain range. The sight of Eternity's King and His
grand army of saints was so glorious, filled with such pageantry the likes of which no earthly king has ever seen. The King of Glory adorned in majesty coming to earth with His bride clothed in His own glorious apparel designed just for her. His glorious Church -- jewels immemorial. Oh, words are pail -- books could be written and never tell the real splendor of this divine crescendo of the ages.

Together we traveled just above the Kings Highway in the sky across the Jordanian mountains. I don't remember undergoing any special transition from the
suspended palanquin in the sky to being part of a numberless holy army, but somehow that transition was made and we were now part of the most powerful army in all creation. Due east of Jerusalem, at Ammon, the Holy army being led by their Divine Captain of the Host now on His white horse became visible to all. Riding on triumphantly for truth with the host of the saints behind Him. We turned and headed straight for Jerusalem, where we would enter through the eastern gate. Eternity's King -- mighty to save, and His glorious Church were reroute to save all of Israel, His beloved; and those who looked for his coming. The anti-Christ had given his best to take what rightfully belonged to the Great King, but in the end was overthrown by the Eternal King Himself. Every eye saw Him, and those who looked for His appearing loved Him.

It is the most glorious vision of the return of Messiah with His Church.

The End.

Mukjizat itu Nyata (Diana Panjaitan)

Berawal dari rasa kesemutan biasa pada jari tangannya, Diana tidak menyadari bahwa itu adalah awal dari kehancuran hidupnya.

Suatu pagi ketika Diana hendak bangun tidur, Diana merasakan sesak di dadanya. Ia tidak dapat menggerakkan tubuhnya dan ia sama sekali tidak dapat berjalan. Dengan rasa cemas, orang tua Diana membawanya ke rumah sakit. Setelah mendapat perawatan oleh dokter dari rumah sakit tersebut, Diana diperbolehkan kembali ke rumah.

Diana kembali ke rumah dengan kondisi yang sudah jauh berbeda. Diana tidak lagi seperti dulu yang selalu ceria. Beberapa hari di rumah, kembali Diana mengalami gejala yang sama dan untuk kedua kalinya ia dilarikan kembali ke rumah sakit. Namun kali ini tubuh Diana sudah lumpuh total.

Hanya dalam waktu satu bulan, hidup Diana seperti berada di ujung tanduk. Dokter menemukan virus ganas yang mematikan bersarang di tubuhnya. Menurut Dr. Freddy Sitorus, dokter yang menangani Diana, kalau hal ini tidak cepat diatasi maka virus itu bisa menyerang syaraf pernafasan dan bila hal itu sampai terjadi maka akan berakibat fatal bagi nyawa Diana.

"Syaraf utama dalam tubuh saya sudah terkena virus dan semuanya sudah mati rasa...," ujar Diana sambil menangis saat membagikan kisah hidupnya kepada tim Solusi.

Seperti disayat, kenyataan pahit itu juga dirasakan oleh kedua orang tua Diana.

"Dunia seperti runtuh rasanya. Saya hanya berdoa kepada Tuhan agar anak saya disembuhkan," ujar Merry Sitorus, ibunda Diana.

Namun bayang-bayang kematian semakin dekat mengejar Diana. Hidupnya hanya bergantung pada suntikan demi suntikan.

"Saya tidak siap untuk meninggal saat itu. Saya tidak bisa bernafas, dan saya baru menyadari bahwa ternyata nafas itu mahal," ujar Diana sambil menahan sakit.

Diana juga sempat marah dan kecewa dengan Tuhan. Diana merasa bahwa segala usaha dan harapannya yang telah ia gantungkan sepenuhnya kepada Tuhan sepertinya sia-sia. Di saat Diana mengalami kekecewaan yang berkepanjangang, Dr. Freddy Sitorus menyarankan Diana untuk mengikuti sebuah kebaktian kebangunan rohani di Ancol yang dibawakan oleh Rev. Benny Hinn. Menurutnya kalau manusia tidak dapat menyembuhkan, maka Tuhan pasti bisa meyembuhkan.

Iman Diana yakin bahwa hidupnya masih ada harapan. Namun di tengah lautan manusia dan matahari yang membakar Ancol, tiba-tiba saja Diana kehabisan oksigen. Ketika tim doa dari Benny Hinn mendatangi Diana dan berdoa baginya, tanpa disadari lawatan Tuhan terjadi pada hidup Diana.

"Hati saya seperti plong dan ada hawa hangat di pinggang saya," ujar Diana.

Ketika mereka menyuruh Diana berdiri, maka dengan perlahan Diana mulai bangkit dan dapat berdiri. Diana naik ke atas panggung dan disambut oleh Benny Hinn. Kemudian dengan rasa sukacita yang luar biasa, Diana mulai bisa menggerakkan seluruh tubuhnya tanpa ada rasa sakit.

"Saya tidak pernah menangis. Tetapi saat itu, tangis saya tumpah dan saya kagum atas keajaiban dan kedahsyatan Tuhan terhadap anak saya. Sungguh hebat Kau Tuhan," ujar M.Panjaitan, Ayah Diana, menutup kesaksian ini.

Nafas itu memang mahal, dan yang membuat nafas itu adalah sebuah Pribadi yang sungguh luar biasa. Jadi, hargailah Tuhan. (Kisah ini ditayangkan 7 Mei 2009 dalam acara Solusi Life di O'channel)
