The Call to Arise: Embracing Our Prophetic Assignment Today

The Call to Arise: Understanding Our Prophetic Assignment

In a powerful discourse on Bible prophecy, Chip Brim emphasizes a pivotal moment in history where prophesied events are unfolding in real time. As he observes the current geopolitical landscape, particularly the tension surrounding Israel and Iran, it becomes apparent that the time for believers to act upon their prophetic assignment is upon us. With nations aligning themselves in ways that resonate with Biblical texts from Isaiah to Ezekiel, we are witnessing a resurgence of Biblical prophecy coming alive—an awakening that calls for action and forethought.

In 'Unlocking Your Prophetic Assignment - Chip Brim Prophetic Word,' the discussion dives into the relevance of biblical prophecies today, prompting a deeper exploration of our roles as believers in a transformative time.

The Times We Live In: Signs of the End Times

Brim notes that the events in Israel, now a focal point of global attention, bear witness to Jesus’s teachings about Israel becoming a “stone of stumbling.” This realization serves as an urgent reminder that notifying the world of God's plan and timing is paramount. As believers, we are called to prepare—not to incite fear but to instill hope. The obligation here goes beyond mere observation; we are to inspire others out of spiritual and Biblical truth as we navigate these turbulent times.

Mission Work in Crisis: Empowering the Church

In his testimony, Chip recounts how his mission work led him to Jerusalem at a time when the need for ministry was profound. His encounters with local churches and Holocaust survivors have not only transformed his understanding of humanitarian service but also solidified the reality of the church’s role in seasons of unrest. By actively partnering with local leaders in Israel, he highlights a model for ministry driven by love, compassion, and urgency. This commitment drives home the need for spiritual preparedness and, by extension, the adventure of faith where we sow seeds of hope amidst despair.

The Power of Community: Being a Witness in Service

This week, Brim emphasizes the launch of a new initiative starting with a soup kitchen, aimed at feeding those in need as the missiles fall around them. This humanitarian effort underlines an essential truth: the church must extend its hand to support those suffering during crises. Such acts of service are not just about physical nourishment but pave the way for spiritual dialogue and breakthroughs. As believers, we take part in declaring the transformative power of Jesus’s love through our tangible actions—each act echoing the Biblical message that God will bless those who bless His people.

Feeling Inadequate? God's Call Awaits

One of the most poignant moments in Brim’s address challenges the feelings of inadequacy many believers face. He illustrates how these self-doubts can prevent us from stepping into our prophetic assignments. By raising the story of Jonah, who fled from his calling out of fear, Brim invokes a call to action: we must combat spiritual depression and rise above feelings that paralyze us. This ‘arising’ is not merely a physical act but a spiritual awakening to the higher calling that God has for each of us.

Action Steps: How to Respond?

Understanding our prophetic duties in today's world requires vigilance and a proactive approach. As Brim rightly asserts, the church is called to train and prepare for what lies ahead—embracing our roles as champions of the faith. Solutions lie in practical actions: volunteer for local outreach, partner with missions, and commit to prayer for Israel and its people. Each of these is a way to embody our faith actively.

As we apply these principles, we encourage the congregation and our readers to reflect on their lives. Are you feeling a pull towards a specific calling? Take the bold step forward in faith. Armored against fear, we must arise, go forth, and encourage one another in the journey of faith. There are seasons ahead where prophetic voices will become even more critical in guiding the church through uncertainty.

So how will you respond to your prophetic assignment in these times? The call to action is being issued across generations; let’s not shy away from it.
