War Cry

Today, as we look out at the weekend and beyond, we must remember where we stand on the battlefield. In the military we have ceremonies and traditions to remind us of what we have done and why we do what we do. I am establishing this with this site, I am combining the first two messages as a call to every one of us to hold fast in this fight, and look to our King; remembering that everyday of our lives should be for Him and the mission he has set before every one of us. He gave His life so that we may live! Who are we to hold back the truth of His sacrifice and love from the captive? We must take our place on this battlefield lest we fall by the wayside. There is too much at stake.

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beast, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain" Revelation 5:6 The scars of His sacrifice are still upon His body.

 Isaiah 52:14 "His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men" The torture was so severe He did no even appear human. 

Isaiah 50:6 " I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that pluck off the hair, I hid not my face from shame and spitting." They ripped his beard off. 

Isaiah 53 "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with his stripes we are healed. " OUR sin and death was upon Him so that we can have life eternal.

Rise now and behold our Captain!

Our Captain and King stands bearing the marks of the price paid for the ultimate victory in this war, the price He paid for us. You have called on Him, you have joined the ranks of the sanctified. We are so satisfied of the fact we have found the Truth. But, I say to you "MAKE YOUR SPINE, JUST LIKE YOUR PRIDE!" The Spirit is moving within us, urging us to take up this fight. I implore you to look upon the captives of the enemy as Christ did the day he sacrificed His life for them and for you, bring them the Word of Life and freedom this day.

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:15-16

 There is no other way to say it. Too long we have stood by as this world turns to a wasteland. Those of us with living water choose to hide in our caves and horde the truth. We scurry away from the battlefield, in fear. Our time on this earth is short, this conflict is coming to a head. How can we continue to ignore the carnage taking place right outside our doorstep? Our streets are filling to the brim with blood of children, widows, the thirsty, the hungry, the damaged, the lost, the sick, the abandoned, and the despairing. As Oh Sleeper said I ask of you now. 

"What keeps this family of fighters from facing the war that we were bred for"?

Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

This is my cry to the Kingdom, to you the Ecclesia, the called out ones. I plead with you to take up your armor, wield your sword. Let not another day pass with our heads hung in defeated shame.  Let us take it in victory. We have life on our lips, speak it to the world. Breath the name of Christ into their hearts.  No longer will we be silent. "We are the children of fire! We are the lions! We stand when all else deserted, because we were born to fight, and fight and FIGHT!!!" 

 Into the fray!!!

Blessed be the Lord my Strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight Psalm 144:1
