Be a watchman!
I was born again in 1975. When I was 23, Jesus called me to follow Him. An amazing 45 year journey where He has taken me to live in many different countries and cultures.
He called to be a watchman, to see the times and seasons, to be alert to the enemies advance. To hear God’s voice and speak His Word. It is alive and full of power. This Word will always accomplish everything He desires, and achieves every purpose for which He sends it. – Is 55:11
I See An Army Rising Up
I am part of a small army at Capital Vineyard Church in Wellington, NZ. This small army is a part of a larger army of praying churches all over New Zealand. This NZ army is part of a huge army of praying churches in every single country around the world.
Together this huge global army joins with the armies of heaven, the Army of Angels.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies
Why is God called The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, or The Lord of Hosts?
There are more than 250 times in the Old Testament that He is called Jehovah Sabaoth or some versions (Adonai Tzva’ot), which translates God of the armies of heaven.
Its first appearance is in 1 Samuel 1:3 when Hannah is praying for a son. When she appeals to God, she does not cry out to a gentle God, but the God who commands the multitudes. –lord-heavens-armies
But How Many Angels Are There?
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.- Revelation 9:16 NIV – bible.Armies,-God
We are part of the Army of God.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with our shields of faith locked together. We have a double edged sword in our hand and we will not be defeated.
Do not let the pain of staying average, be greater than your fear of stepping up, to reach your next level. A threat free life is nauseating, mediocrity makes us sick.
It is time to forget about our reputations and our fear and begin to risk everything. We have the power of the Spirit of God within us. If He is for us, who can be against us?
God is calling His soldiers to rise up. Allow God to transform you into a warrior.
What Are you saying today???
YES LORD …I WILL STAND UP AND FIGHT.
