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.
Powerful writing!
Amen!! An incredible reminder that when we + God into anything that we face or do, no odds or force can ever defeat us!
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.”
Ephesians 6:13-15 ESV
