The Lord's Army

We are in the days where men will be completely sold out to Jesus and totally given to the call of God upon their lives! Men like Moses who have spent the most of their days in preparation for the assignment and yet do spend the most of their time on the mount, men like Joshua who are not afraid to war on the battle field and would March on carrying the Lord's mandate leading the people into the land of promise, men like Aaron who will stand as priests over the people but yet with greater consecration and will not give in to the pressure from the people. Men like Elijah who will stand against all odds and war with their prophetic weapon in total allegiance to the Lord refusing against all odds to bow to strange gods, men like David who will not be afraid to hold up the standard of their Lord before the enemy thereby defeating the enemy and delivering God's people from the oppression of the enemy. Men like Daniel who will stay with purpose even though they be the only one standi...

The refining fire

This scripture also further tells us the reason the Lord will sit as a refiner of silver is for the purification of the Levites to the end that we may be able to offer offerings in righteousness/acceptable sacrifices unto the Lord which imp...

Your First Love

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Revelation 2:2‭-‬5 NIV Dear believer, As you begin your walk with the Lord and journey through life, it takes intentionality and dogged commitment to still remain in that child-like posture before the Father yet doing the things you used to do and your heart panting after Him even much more. We have read of and seen how that many who started well with the Lord and even God doing mighty things through them yet grow weary and become victims of a burnout and sometimes even yet still...
