Spiritual Turning Point
Let’s strive to know the Lord.
His appearance is as sure as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring showers that water the land.
-Hosea 6:3
RISE UP WARRIOR: IT’S TIME.
As we step into this new week, there is one message Jesus is pressing on my heart. It’s time to ARMOR UP and live ON MISSION with every word we speak, thought we have, step we take, and impact we make!
My heart is grieving alongside our nation, along with each brother and sister in Christ. My soul is grieving with the EVIL in this world, but in moments of shattering loss, my faith is fueled with purpose! I believe with my soul that God is RAISING UP a generation of men and women who boldly and courageously proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and live as the hands and feet of Jesus. It’s time to RISE UP and live in the light of God’s Word. It’s time to RISE UP and be bold in our faith. It’s time to RISE UP and share the Gospel. It’s time to RISE UP and climb spiritual mountains in faith. It’s time to RISE UP and RAISE UP a generation for Jesus! It’s time to say NO MORE to the enemy and RISE UP battle ready! Hosea 6:3 has watered my soul this weekend. Our hope and faith is in God alone and His return is as sure as the dawn.
Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"
Our strength, courage, bravery, boldness, fearlessness to give up, ability to RISE UP, comfort, joy, and rest come from God alone. There is a spiritual turning point sweeping through America, through the entire world. Can you feel it? God is moving and the Holy Spirit is blowing fresh wind of revival across our nation, our world. It’s here, God is breaking through hardened hearts, spiritual currents of deception, and attacks from the enemy. In a world of so much hatred, darkness, and schemes from the enemy, we get to stand on the firm foundation of our Savior, Jesus Christ and RISE UP with eyes set above. It’s time to make Heaven crowded! It’s time to use the voice God has given us with purpose! It’s time to move in our lives with conviction and kingdom calling! The time is NOW Warrior!
Let’s take heart, rebuke fear, cover our lives and nation in prayer, armor up, and keep our eyes set above! Let’s learn from our biblical heroes and live our lives on mission each and every day. If you’re feeling exhausted, afraid, unworthy, or at a loss, borrow my faith. I promise you, as God’s son’s and daughter’s He has PURPOSE both for our lives and through our obedience. There are people God wants you to reach, hearts He wants you to touch, chains He wants to use you to break, and lives He wants to transform with His all consuming truth, power, love, and presence!
David’s bravery in battle towards Goliath came not from his own courage but from his FAITH that God was with him! Moses led the Israelites out of slavery not out of his own strength but because of God’s divine power moving through his live, equipping him to lead. Ruth’s life of dedication and surrender shows us that true joy and meaningful life is found in God alone. Esthers courage to Rise Up in faith and surrender her fear saved her people from being executed. Noah’s obedience to build an arc before seeing a droplet of rain came from his unwavering faith in God’s perfect timing and plan. Pauls life is a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and shows us that God can use us in extraordinary ways in unexpected places. Jesus Christ gave His life for all of the sins of humanity, that all who believe in Him will be saved and have eternal life in Him!
No matter what you have walked through, it is never too late to turn to God and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Before I end this blog post, I want to invite you to surrender your life to God today and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. The time is now, so RISE UP, surrender your life to God, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, and live your life ON MISSION with Kingdom purpose! Pray this prayer with me:
God, I come before you today, ready to receive you as my Lord and Savior. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose on the third day to fill me with your Spirit. Forgive me of my sins and give me a new life in you God. I invite you to be the Lord of my heart and life and I dedicate my life to you. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life with You Jesus, in Your Mighty Name, Amen!
Whether you prayed this prayer for the first time, you re-dedicated your life, or you rejoiced with someone who did, I know God is REJOICING in Heaven! The time is NOW Warrior, so RISE UP, we have work to do!
Let me pray for you as we go into this new week.
Heavenly Father,
We come before you with hearts surrendered and hands lifted in unwavering faith. We pray for a sight, sound, and scent barrier between us and the enemy. We rebuke witches, warlocks, word curses, and attacks from the enemy. We pray for a hedge of protection over our mind, body, soul, family, home, mission, and nation. We pray for the helmet of salvation over our head, breastplate of righteousness over our chest, Sword of the Spirt, the belt of Truth around our waist, and our feet sandaled with the readiness of the Gospel of Peace. Give us your strength to wage war with the Word of God, give us boldness to RISE UP in Your truth, give us clarity, discernment, and direction as we use our voice, life, and mission for your glory. May Your sweet aroma fill our home and Your joy fill our days. In Your Mighty Name, Amen and Amen.
RISE UP WARRIOR: THE TIME IS NOW
