Lord Requires Active Faith To Bring Change In Others
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Mark 16:17-18 NKJ).
Short Vision by Brother Glenn:
Date: 04/07/2026
Before sharing the vision, kindly allow me to give background information. A few years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ took Charis to HELL, and the person she was shown was my wife's uncle (her mother's brother). He pleaded with Charis to go warn his family, and after receiving this revelation. I was burdened with a desire to preach the gospel to his family. After several months, the Lord answered our prayers, and we received an open door. I preached the gospel there in the fire of the Holy Spirit, and no one heeded the invitation to receive the Lord.
Now, a few months after her passing (wife of the man whom Charis saw in HELL), the Lord showed her to me in a Revelation. When she saw me, she asked me to bring one of her sons to live with us because the Lord showed her how we, as a family, are praying together in the morning and our Bible fellowship in the evening before bedtime. Like the account of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31), they did not believe our testimony; instead, they accused us of lying and that we are making up stories. Brethren, we value our souls. If we had kept quiet about the things we received from God, we would be pitied, and if we lie about Revelations from the Lord, we ought to be pitied even more. Now, we are not lying about the things we have received from the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:15-19).
Accept God's Command From Scripture With a Faith-Driven Conviction
Kindly allow me to add this, articles like this are very unpopular amongst Christians who wouldn't allow a conviction to change and challenge them. Brethren, as a Church, and broadly speaking, we have failed dismally in our work of Ministry. There are literally millions of Christians around the world (only God knows the true numbers), yet only a few are active in ministry work, but everyone has been called to work (Matthew 28:19-20).
As it is, we sing 'Revival' and pray for it, while the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), thereby releasing Gifts and Power. It is Preaching Power that ushers in 'Revivals', repentance, and deliverance. "The word is near you, even in your mouth" (Romans 10:8 NIV). How long will we wait for the revival when we have already received the command to go preach the gospel, as in the above Scripture? Like I said in some previous articles, the Bible is addressing each individual believer, and individual believers are to respond to Scriptural command (Mark 16:16).
Biblically, when King Josiah heard what the law of Moses said, including the Lord's pending Judgements, he was stricken with a conviction, and he tore his clothes, and obeyed his God and moved into action, and he was joined by others, and it resulted in a revival (2 Kings 22). Let us respond to the conviction from the Scriptures, use our faith, and God Almighty will work with us.
Let me share an experience I had while being in Bible school a few years ago. The teachings we received at Bible School emphasised total submission to pastoral authority, and only after the pastor's command are we sent out into ministry or to do witnessing.
As it was, during our lectures, which were delivered by a local pastor who insisted that the lecture notes, which were authored by his senior pastor, were accurate and shouldn't be questioned. I humbly differed with that view and challenged it, which resulted in me being denied a Diploma in Ministry even after writing and passing the exams. After attempting to return the following year, the Lord commanded me not to return to Bible School.
Furthermore, one evening, when we went out to witness, we were invited by a Brother who attended Bible School with me, and he asked me who commanded me to witness without pastoral authority. I replied and said that I was commanded by the Lord through the Bible. Upon hearing that, he angrily asked me to leave his house. However, a few years later, he realised that his calling was not from his pastor but from the Lord, and today he is a street evangelist walking around with a wooden cross with a banner inviting people to the Lord Jesus Christ...HALELUJAH!
In conclusion, let us preach, witness, and fellowship like the 10 wise virgins.
Blessed Grace
Brother Glenn
