Let It Begin with Me II

By Lea Sylvester


As Christians, we must get back to the basics of who we are. We are one in Jesus Christ. As Jesus prayed in John Chapter 17, we are to be one. I am not referring to heathenism or non-biblical teachings, I am talking about born-again Christians; blood-bought saints of God.

 

In Matthew 18:20 our Lord tells us, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” This tells us of the raw power, the power we possess through Jesus Christ. We must understand Christianity is not difficult. In short, we need to refocus and get fired up. We must get up and prepare for battle! Jesus has it covered from A to Z for us. He has EVERYTHING covered for us! Do you believe that? Let us review: 

 

Our Lord is the Good News that will outshine and outstrip all of the bad we see today.

He is the Avenger of anarchy against the church He is the Blessed Redeemer of the blood-bought Saints He is the Conqueror over the crusades of evil He is the Destroyer over demonic worldly objectives He is the Foe that fights spiritual famine He is the God over all who remain godless He is the Hero who stands in harm’s way of those He loves He is the Initiator of the covenant over embattled Israel He is Judah’s Lion ready to deliver justice to the world He is the Kinsman Redeemer able to rescue His own He is the Lover of Lost Souls leading us to victory He is the Maker of Heaven and Earth able to make an end to Marxism He is the Name Above All Names including all world leaders He is the One True Messiah over one-worldism He is the PURE LAMB OF GOD who purchased our freedom He is the Quick Two-Edged Sword who separates the wheat from the tares

 

He is the Revolutionary who put down all types of man’s ungodly revolutions He is the Son of God who single-handedly saves man He is the Triumph Over Terror from the East He is the Undying Savior over universal worldliness He is the Victor over the vilifying rule of tyrants He is the Watchman on the Wall warning of the last day He is the Xtra Man in the fire able to quench the flames of hatred He is . . . Yesterday’s Hope, Today’s Dream, and Tomorrow’s Promise He is the Zeal of Zion and He is zealous for those who are seeking His appearance

He is our Lord and Savior, the Alpha and Omega, and He is COMING BACK! “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” I Thessalonians 4:16-17

Imagine when He comes back in the Eastern sky! He has the sweetest voice we will ever hear! Jesus Christ has a mission for us. Could we believe that we are “just here” without a purpose? If God were “done” with us, we would be dead in a cemetery somewhere. You can’t “retire” from the Kingdom of God! All you can do is RE-FIRE and that is what we must do!

God is talking to us today. Let us leave the milk and grow up. Let us go to the meat and prepare to be warriors in these days. Prayer. It is the mightiest of all weapons we have. It is a weapon of mass destruction! It was Daniel who prayed for 21 days against the demonic control of the prince of Persia. By the way, he is still over Persia; that is known as Iran today. That demonic influence is still there. But Daniel resisted him.

There are many demonic influences over the United States today. It is time to pray them down. Pray down religiosity and religious spirits, to pray down those who say they are Christians but who have no fruits.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, what is going to happen to you? Maybe you’ve been saved for a long time but you don’t have “that edge” anymore. Follow Jesus with everything you have! Serve Christ with fervor. Be a warrior! Be in this for the full fight. We are on the front lines of the good fight. We have a nation to save through the power of Jesus Christ. Don’t discount these as mere words.

The Apostle Paul took down the entire pagan empire of Europe with his words, his prayers. He was chained to guards in Caesar’s household. Paul described those guard’s very armor. We have it in our Bibles; the armor of the Christian was actually described by Paul from a Roman soldier’s armor. The Bible says, “All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.” Philippians 4:22. What does that mean?

It means that Paul helped some of Caesar’s relatives become followers of our Lord! This was a man who had tormented and tortured and killed Christians! Look how his obedience served our Lord.

Be a warrior for Jesus Christ. In these last days, we have a job to do. Let’s be about our Father’s work!
