The Lord has given Bill Yount a word to illustrate Jesus' heart for the Church. Every member is important--even crucial. Every member! The are not a few ALL-STARS --rather, we are ALL-- . . . STARS! As someone has pointed out, "Christianity is not a spectator sport."

One final point: "OUTSIDE THE STADIUM" is not so much a specific place or defined location--as much as it is, WHO are you demonstrating the Love of Christ to when the Holy Spirit prompts you to? Read on . . .

"THE SPIRITUAL ALL-STAR GAME"

A Word through Bill Yount Email: blowtheshofar@juno.com

I believe I heard the Lord say "My people are now in the seventh inning stretch of their "Spiritual All- Star Game"

"They have been like spectators in grandstands watching "ALL-STAR" ministers being used in their giftings in the field of the supernatural."

OUTSIDE, THE CRIES OF DYING MEN AND WOMEN

A great restlessness came over the grandstands as these people began to strongly desire the giftings and callings they saw displayed down on the field. As this vision was enlarged, I could see outside of the stadium another kind of field that was unnoticed by God's own people inside the stadium.

But the game continued and even the "All-Star" ministers on the playing field could not hear the cries of dying men and women and children as they competed against each other trying to receive a greater anointing to score for personal gain.

The cries were drowned out by the cheering of the fans in the grandstands. The field outside this stadium was white unto Harvest. In this field outside were people that could not afford a ticket to watch the games going on inside the "Glory Stadium."

DURING THE SEVENTH INNING -- A REVELATION OF DEATH TO SELF

As the seventh inning stretch came God's people stood up. As they began stretching out their arms, I saw a few suddenly appear to be on crosses throughout the stadium.

The greatest supernatural event in that stadium started to take place. A revelation of death to self, death to giftings, death to callings was taking place through the Holy Spirit. The people at the very top of the grandstands on the top bleacher that had the cheapest seats in the house seemed to receive this revelation the most. And as they turned their faces away from the stadium--- as they were dying on these crosses-- Jesus began to rise again inside of them.

THE HARVEST FIELD THAT WAS OUTSIDE---AND WAS WHITE

And as they looked shamefully away from all the false glory inside the stadium, they got a glimpse of the Harvest field outside that was white. These few, with stretched out arms on crosses, immediately began leaving the stadium and went to the field outside-- to the lost and dying. These true laborers were few in number compared to the multitudes of God's people still inside the "Glory Stadium."
