We pray...That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge
…that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19
DAY 11—Evangelists have a significant role to play as a fullness comes to the Body of Christ in the closing days of the age.
According to this following Scripture, there will be a significant representation in God’s Kingdom of people from out of every family, every language group, and every culture group in every nation. It must be that Evangelists will participate in this.
Revelation 5:9—And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the Book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
The fullness that will be known in the Body, and ultimately in the Kingdom, will be comprised of people to whom Evangelists have risked their lives to carry the Good News of the Kingdom.
While it is clear that Evangelists have an important role to play in bringing the Body to its completion, the very meaning of the word “evangelist” implies that their part is played out among unbelievers who are being brought into the fold.
Again and again, we remember the Great Commission given by the Lord Jesus to His disciples just as He was departing from them. To know the fullness toward which the prayer from Ephesians 3:19 points demands that the commission be carried out to its completion.
- Matthew 28:18-20—And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world (unto the consummation of the age). Amen.
FATHER, it is clear that the fullness cannot come about till the commission given by the Lord Jesus is fully obeyed. Please move among us by Your Spirit. Call forth those in our midst whom You will use as Evangelists. Move in those who remain behind so there will be a healthy body to receive the new ones who will be brought in.
