Not In Vain


As I was recently listening to one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard Holy Spirit began to move my heart. I saw images rapidly running before me. I began to see the spiritual state of this country, cries of hurting people, and how lax some are with their belief in Christ. God has called us to stand firm in our faith to stand against unrighteousness as stated in Ephesians 6:12 but we still tend to stand strong in those things that destroy us, as stated in Galatians 5:19-21. We glorify drug dealers, TV shows that support adultery and fornication; we support music that is embedded with violence, sex, drugs, and alcohol; and release in our lives by repeating lyrics. We feed the world most of our resources financially and through the consumption of our time to serve ourselves and others as we neglect God. We turn away from the call of God, doubt the promises of God, and pursue the most things outside the will of God for our lives. We continue in relationships and friendships for a false sense of value as they hold us in bondage not realizing the power of covenant in our lives. Wow! Many times I’ve heard the statement “I’m Real” but your realness lies in things that have no deposit for the advancement of your life. Facebook continues to be the platform for rants, shared violence, nudity, and the picture of destruction we have allowed in our lives. Wow! I want you to know something, God created you for so much more. He breathed greatness into you, clothed you in humility, built you in boldness, and declared you as royalty. The death of Jesus Christ has given you freedom but freedom into the ways of his kingdom (John 15:15). Your realness and boldness lies in Ephesians 6:12 which is to stand against the things that are destroying the region and people that you are assigned to. The fighting videos that are being shared shouldn’t be those of us fighting each other but fighting against the kingdom of darkness. We should fight the good fight of faith and advance the kingdom of God through infiltration coupled with colonization (1 Timothy 6:12, Joshua 18:3). We can’t continue putting everything  in life before Him that gives life, but we must find our place in him and all things will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33). Our commitment must become greater to produce an effective outcome that is beneficial for all. We must lead our children by example to prevent them from being destroyed (Phil 3:17, Proverbs 22:6). The time is now!!! No more broken families, no more broken hearts, no more broken futures, no more abandoned futures, no more lacking in life, no more selfishness, no more wasted time, no more doubt, and no more compromise. Lord we loose the spirit of excellence, love, joy, compassion, boldness, urgency, and fulfillment into the lives of everyone. We take back the God given authority and dominion which you have given us. We partake in the covenant promises and rights we have in our relationship with you through our salvation. We dedicate our lives to serve and fulfill your great commission. We honor you Lord! We glorify you Lord! Release your sound now Lord! Release your sound now Lord!
