Seize the Day!

Luke 19



⁴¹As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it ⁴²and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. ⁴³The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. ⁴⁴They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you."

     There are times and seasons appointed for the moves of God and the changes of the Holy Spirit. It is not possible to attend a meeting of Smith Wigglesworth, John Lake, Martin Luther, John Wesley, or other mighty leaders. It's not possible to attend the final West Coast Believers Convention of 2009. There are defined and definite seasons. Those times are set and you cannot go back in time. Grace and Mercy are new every morning, but certain things cannot be done over, only forgiven and washed. You cannot REDO your kids lives growing up, you cannot REDO a marriage... sometimes you can start over, but not REDO.

     One must take a hold of the seasons that arise. You must take part in what is going on and participate in any way possible. This applies especially in the callings of God for your life in general and daily. You have divine appointments today, will you keep them?

     Recognize the time, before it's too late. Has God been calling you to make changes? MAKE THEM! Has God been calling you to move? MOVE! Seize the day!

Newsies Cast - Seize the Day Lyrics

Music by Alan Menken.
Lyrics by Jack Feldman.

DAVID:
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day

DAVID and NEWSIES:
Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray

DAVID:
Wrongs will be righted
If we're united

DAVID and NEWSIES:
Let us seize the day

Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one
