And here we are again. It only seems like yesterday when we were out parading our passions and purpose for the Lord. I often think about what was going on deep in the bowels of the grave as Jesus wrestled with principalities and powers and overcame those three days.
Tomorrow we proclaim He arose and won the battle over sin and death and the grave.
Hallelujah – Because He Lives, We Live.
Let me encourage you whichever part you are playing in the Body – we are called out to be firebrands in the darkness.
Called out to be the light of God in a dark and dreary world.
As we traverse through our neighborhoods tomorrow or whenever we go, be intentional and conscious with each step that we are a light , a torch, the flame of the gospel ; that as we move , we are destroying darkness and reclaiming the land.
We don’t have to be the speaker, the preacher, but just by our very presence and our hearts aflame in unity, is a witness to the gates of hell – that Jehovah did it and will do it again, and again..
We are taking ground.
We are taking the Good News of Jesus to our community, to our streets , to the nations.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ who walks with us and the host of holy angels
How the world needs the joy and peace of the Holy Ghost.
“Sing” says the spirit as I write –
What shall I sing ?
I hear a song and refrain as follows:
“Rise up ye men of God
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of Kings
To serve the King of Kings
Rise up O men of God
His Kingdom tarries long
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong
and end the night of wrong.
…and so as we prepare to lift our national flags and banners , I close with the penultimate stanza of the song by Phil Keaggy
Lift high the Cross of Christ
Tread where his feet have trod
As brothers of the Son of Man
Rise up O men of God
Rise up O men of God
Written by Evangelist Linda J
