Heaven's Battle Cry

This summer has been quite different from summers past for us. Instead of us traveling around from camp to camp, or town to town, God has been bringing ministry to our doorstep….often to our kitchen island or living room sofa….

It has been a very sweet summer, as God has led us to step deeply into the lives of dear people.

And a clear theme has been coming thru each interaction….

I hear a voice in this wilderness

Where darkness has reigned for so long

Ground is being taken

Amen and Amen! The darkness has reigned long here, but this summer, ground has been soundly taken back from the enemy as thousands of students heard the Gospel proclaimed and saw it lived !

The trumpet sounds

And Your glory touches the ground

And we all stand in awe

Who is this?

This glory far beyond us

I hear a voice

I hear a drum beating

heaven's drawing near

The sky will open

Your people are being healed

I hear a voice

We have been eyewitnesses to Jesus Christ’s healing power as He steps strongly into the lives of wounded people…healing their pasts and giving them new hope and freedom to move forward.

I see a generation rising up

No longer accepting lies

Running to the battlefield

And losing their lives

This generation is not satisfied with what contented their parents. They long for truth, and are hungry for answers that are real. They are ready to surrender so they can be saved.

I see a generation rising up

No longer accepting lies

As a band of worshipers run to the battlefield

They're finding their lives

We have talked with several young men and women this summer who are willing to risk joining us at this battlefront….who know that “he who gives what he cannot keep will gain what he cannot lose.” They no longer believe that living in their “paneled houses” the comfort of the familiar and known, will satisfy. They know they will find life when they lay it down.

Great song! Who is it by?

WOW - (in humility) Amen!

May we hold up your arms as you continue in battle,... encourage, refresh and equip you for future encounters. May God hear our combined prayers, and may His will prevail!

Humbled, we pray.
