In 1860 the famous Pony Express was created . Watching videos on the subject was pretty interesting . The Lord was again showing me something , but I wasn't quite sure just what . On the the Pony Express videos the narrator was telling how it operated , who created it , and how dangerous it was . One video mentioned the actual name of one of the riders . He was the rider that rode from east to west . The name of the rider that rode from west to east was lost with time , but there were two names that some believed who that rider might have been . Although it didn't last long only 18 months , it was a very celebrated job . Crowds would greet the riders with bands and fanfare .
Ok that's enough of the history of the pony express .
The reason the Lord allowed me to see this I think is the importance of information , news . See the Good news is what we are charged to carry on . We are like thise pony express riders of the past . And I do understand that back in the 1860's it would be a very dangerous occupation to have , with the weather elements , and robbers and back then renegade indians . Today missionaries have a very dangerous calling . They go to places that Christianity is forbidden they go to places where there are diseases , lack of food and water , to serve our Lord . They are martyrd , because of the teachings of Christ . Yet western civilization doesn't put them on a celebrated list . Today there are several revivals that have reached the younger generations . The ones I speak of are happening in colleges in Kentucky , Texas and here in Alabama . Someone had to listen to the Holy Spirit and go out . Someone took a step out and started spreading the news . Someone didn't think about the repercussions of what they were sharing with others . They just did what the Lord told them to do . They were like the pony express riders induring the elements the attacks from the enemy . They aren't worried about what would be said about them .They aren't ashamed what unbelievers will think about them . All they want to do is to spread the Great Commission. Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach [1] all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So let's be a part of God's HOLY EXPRESS .
