Fearlessly Courageous

You must know that every Christian has enemies. You see the spiritual evidence every day.
But you need to know you have friends to stand with you. Believe with you! Pray with you!
We can continue to sit ideally by and just allow our enemies to gather momentum and strength
or we can take a spiritual stand against them and for God Almighty, the finisher and perfector of our faith. But that requires you to want that! It requires you to do something! It begins by asking the Holy Spirit for the courage and strength to reach out…join a church…or perhaps start attending the church you say you attend. Join a small group. Open yourself up to be vulnerable and useable by God.
It’s almost Easter. People are suffering alone. Maybe that’s you right now. I want to be a voice calling in the wilderness. And I am praying for you…calling you out to come join me in praying for others to attend church this Easter Sunday. This isn’t about being a hypocrite because you only go on Easter.
You can change that by asking God to forgive you for your unfaithfulness and come back because you want more of Christ in your life! We all need reminding that it started with one son to bring redemption. One voice to sound the beginning and with a shout, it will herald the time of his final coming.
But we are in that time in between, that God is calling US to obedience.
Romans 15:5 Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you,
in order to bring glory to God.…”
Accept one another and receive God’s endurance and encouragement during these treacherous times. Be in harmony with each other in Christ Jesus.
Why? So that with One Mind and One Voice we may glorify God.
By accepting and joining with one another we bring Glory to God and we unleash the power of his Holy Spirit to do far and beyond what we can accomplish. How?
By being obedient to a clear and concise directive.
Come together in One Voice in prayer and rise up to meet the challenges
of living in a dark and dying world.
When we come to the ONE we all pray to, we glorify God with one mind and voice through the power of God the Holy Spirit. This is not a make-believe God, or one that fits our needs for today or that we are comfortable with… This is the ONE true living God, creator of all the earth. Who knows all things and has chosen to work through us as we come together as one body. There is no other way, but Satan waits for the many stragglers so he can ambush us with no one around to lift us up. His is the avalanche of a thousand voices exploding in our America that is under siege like never before.
What might happen if we could come together in One Voice? In Unity and Harmony and humble ourselves beyond our own pet peeves and embrace the cross? Embrace his word? His calling and clear direction? To Pray Unified in One Spirit?
Why can’t that be this Easter, with you in attendance raising your voice to be a part of One Voice?
Daniel 4:31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you” Look, no king, monarch or president own God’s sovereignty. It belongs to God and God alone and
he is calling out his children to be His One Voice.
His calling is to come together in unity, faith, hope, and love to take our biggest and strongest weapon and raise it up against the mountains that are moving forward to destroy us and our nation. One Voice to lift up One Name, the name above all names. Jesus Risen Will you come and pray together for yourselves, your families, and ours, for our church and our nation as one?
Will you commit to pray with One Voice and join us on Easter Sunday?
No One can do your part!
