And He said, Verily I say
unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth,
many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up
three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But
unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon,
unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the
time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.
People in the oppressive restricted
nations of the world are continuing to receive dreams and visions of the Lord
Jesus Christ and are being converted. Here
is a headline from one such instance reported on Persecution.com: West Bank--Former Muslim Evangelist Turns to
Christ A young
Muslim man in the West Bank who tried to convert a foreign friend to Islam,
ended up giving his life to Christ.
This man was met by the Lord when he cried out to Him in frustration for
answers. The Lord responded in a mighty
way.
Glory to God, who desires so deeply that none should perish that His
eyes are searching the whole earth even now, seeking those who will respond to
His call and receive His gifts of salvation, including a new spirit, a new
heart, and His Holy Spirit dwelling within.
As for those who live in freedom and use that as an excuse for
disobedience or apostasy, here is the sad truth: none of them was cleansed. It is a perilous matter indeed to take the
Lord for granted.
