Arise!

As I reflect back, I am so thankful that the Lord did not keep me in my former state. My life has been shaken in ways I can't explain and He is making all things new. This past year, I felt in my spirit that a shifting is going to take place. I'm overwhelmed at the confirmations over and over of each area of my life. It's like God is saying, "Yes, this is confirming that from many years ago & this is confirming this other thing over here." There's a penetrating force of attack and as the body of Christ we should not unaware of the devil's schemes. But we are ARISING and SHINING as radiant lights in the midst of the abyss of a hellish darkness in this world that the prince of the power of the air roams about in. WE are overcoming by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. We must not get caught up in offense, in petty arguements in comparison and jealousy, in pride or fear. We must pray for our leaders and love one another as Christ has loved us. We must have childlike faith to believe that God is going to do the impossible. We must allow the Father to come heal the brokenhearted and not pretend like we are not as we are. We are broken, but He will fix us. And He will heal us as we reach out in His power to bring healing to others. We must not wallow in self-pity and self-absorbence. Everything matters. Lives are at stake for the Kingdom. We will gather and pray and fast and worship and seek HIM until He abides in this region. And we will not stop until every power of darkness and hellish force of evil runs out of this region. The Name of JESUS will be lifted high and He will reign in every area---amongst the greatest and the least of these. We will be rich in every way and His Kingdom will reign from everlasting to everlasting through every day, ordinary people like us.
