/holy•rebellion/
Rebellion to the world is righteousness to God.
“Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” Isaiah 1:16-17
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2
THE CALL TO CONSECRATION //
__________________________________________________
Elijah stood alone,
On one side Baal, jezebel, Ahab and Israel,
but the one who stood alone stood rightly,
and then came rain.
David stood alone,
On one side stood the Phillistines,
and their champion from Gath,
cursing the God of Israel,
The Lords army frozen by fear,
Saul in his tent scared,
but took his sling and a stone,
then Goliath fell.
Jesus stood alone,
Judged by the Empire,
betrayed by His brother,
condemned by the crowd- crucify him,
his disciples disappeared,
but the Chosen One whispered “forgive them”,
then he rose.
You stand alone,
surrounded by spiritual forces,
a degenerating world,
fallen man,
the flesh against you,
but God for you and Christ in you,
then nothing can stop you.
Welcome to the Holy Rebellion, you don’t stand alone.
