Stand up~

The kingdom of God should be made up of people who are willing to stand up for it! Not people who back down every time the battle gets going!


We all get so caught up in our comfort zones that we cant see that we are living in a dying world and we have got to take action to stop the people in this world from dying with it. I am so often guilty of this, there always seems to be someone else to do it, someone else to change the world.


This war gets more and more fierce everyday! We already know who's going to win this war. The question is how many battles will we win? How many soldiers will be led into victory?


The world today has made Jesus out to be a peace loving, just get along with everyone, hippie (for lack of a better word). But there was a different side of Him you don't hear about to much. The side that turned tables over and drove people out of His fathers house with a whip. He said He came not to bring peace but war.


If we are truly striving to be like Him, we need to recognise the growing darkness around us! We need to be aware of the need to be warriors in His army!


We need to arm ourselves daily with the armor of God. We need to daily ask The King of Kings to enter into us and fight for us. Because apart from Him we are nothing.


Take a moment to think about what your life would be without you Savior. Nothing. Our identity should be found in nothing else but Him alone!


And the people in this world need to know that that's what they are missing. That's the void in their life.


We as Christians fight daily battles. And we need to admit our brokenness, because in weakness His power is seen. Through dependency on Christ the lost in this world see something different, something they need!


So will you stand up? Will you fight the battles? Will you be a soldier in His kingdom? Lets make this generation one that future ones will look back on and say "they always turned back to The Lord, they never stopped fighting"


I must decrease so that He can increase~


I pray that someone gets something from my writing, because that's why i write. To bring glory to Him. I hope to get better in the future. Thank you to all of you who actually take the time to read my humble mushiness, I really appreciate it :)




Here's a song that goes along with it
