Wimpy Whine or A Battle Cry that is Set for Change

Thinking on Jesus and His walk on this earth we conclude He encountered many people. His walk took Him to a variety of people.  His life may not resemble ours. His family was of the Hebrew nation. His hair different than yours or mine. His love, well, it was of course Heaven SENT!
When He spoke He needed no megaphone to be heard. He walked with those He knew, preached on the hillside and prayed in the night for the city He longed to nurture with the Father's love.
A man of intercession, we find He had a clear vision of what to pray for those God the Father loved so much.

Luke 13:34-35......34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' "              NKJV

Yes, He had wanted to gather the children together. He desired what the Father desired.

Psalm 81:13-16

13 "Oh, that My people would listen to Me,

That Israel would walk in My ways! 

14 I would soon subdue their enemies,

And turn My hand against their adversaries. 

15 The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him,

But their fate would endure forever. 

16 He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat;

And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you."   NKJV

Jesus came to bring love and light from the Father. God the Father desired His people to listen to Him. He desired Israel to walk in His WAYS! He so wanted to subdue all the enemies that was prevailing against them. And God would see them fed with the finest of wheat and with the honey from the rock God would satisfy indeed!

Yes, Jesus came and did that. Jesus endured for the joy that was set before Him. That joy came from the Father of His love. When He arose from the dead, He was seen by many. Was not held in a deep secret, but A REVEALED Jesus had risen from the dead.

He came through and in the Crowning MOMENT showed the earth and all its inhabitants that God was Alive! He came to reveal the Battle had been won. The cry had been heard, "it is finished!" And finished it was!

All chaos broke out after He was risen in Heaven. The disciples now Apostles were being changed from glory to glory. The talk was probably non-stop. But on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came in power, He revealed the wind of change.
Prayer was the word Jesus gave. Go back to Jerusalem and tarry!

Do you want change?

Is it time to speak as Jesus spoke? Is it time for a Battle Cry or just that wimpy whine?

As the intercessor for your family, for your community and for your church or body of believer's, is it time to shout out in prayer?

My intercession times are not marked with sighs or too much silence. I am not protesting God's goodness, but I am protesting the enemies and their rights. They have none in my life or in yours.

 I do not need a megaphone. God hears my cries, and He hears yours as well.  I may not have every hair in place on my head or even the clothes on that looks like a militant ready for battle, but I do have on the full armor of God. I am in tune with His heart and when I hear that battle sound of the drums.........playing........I am knowing my God is for me and He is on His way with what I require.

Prophetic, most likely.

Significant always. For intercessory prayer is reaching God's heart for those around us. It is the instrument of sound from our hearts that states loudly..........." boots are on the ground and we are taking territory for the kingdom of God".

Cursing, never.

Complaints, no. I'd rather not whine when I know His Blood covered and brought change for a human race.

God is brilliant. He needs no introduction. He made His life known when He placed the stars in the sky. Keeping our focus on Him, helps us capture His thoughts for the right plan, for the people to pray for, for the family member who is lost in drugs, for the one wanting to control you in the work place, or even in some form of rejection, Jesus knows. God always brings us to the that place which is knowing who we are in Him and how valued we are.

Let Him remind you of the Love He sent for you. Let Him soothe your anxious brow that everything is going to be alright.

Let Him gather you as a mother hen and her chicks, and let Him speak mysteries that will light the fire in your heart to pray............to give the sound of the beating drums from that which comes from Heaven through you to bring change. Touch Heaven today and see your earth changed for the good.

That is why He came!

And Paradise Too!

Had seen this short news report of a young man who ran to join Isis, went because he was promised to be a part of a killing machine team. He went because he was promised to have money, women, villas and paradise! Yes, it was listed in that order. Well, today he was killed by those he went to join up with! They, the Isis group killed him because they thought he was an Israeli! But the reports say he was not an Israeli.
Sad how many people look for fame, even if it is for the fifteen-minute type of fame.

Jesus came to bring His light and life to the world. He came to heal those with a broken-heart, to bind up wounds and set captives free. With much unrest in the world today, we see many taking to the streets to have their say, but I wonder how many are ever really heard. Some seem prepared with their megaphones in hand. An incident occurs and the street is filled instantly and within a short amount of time one pulls out their megaphone. After viewing this one on TV I was wondering how many people carry megaphones in their handbag or backpack today and are ready for action to have a say?

Bringing this back to the body of Christ, how many of us are ready for our say? How many of us are ready to talk of Christ and paradise and how to get there?

Jesus spoke of Paradise when dying on the Cross!

Luke 23:36-43..........36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself." 38 And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." 40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." 42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." 43 And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." NKJV

As Jesus spoke to the man on the cross, "today you will be with Me in Paradise", Jesus was heard!

In the pain of the cross, in the moments before death, with every fiber of the man's being taken to the limits one body could experience, the man in humility asked Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."

So I ask again, do we carry the Word of Life with us to give to another or do we just want to have our say? Now where is my megaphone?

On a serious note, the young man had to know that Jesus was to be revered and honored for the humility and His undeserved death on the Cross.

"Lord, remember me!" Jesus remember me Shelley. Remember YOUR word to me, remember me and take me to be with YOU!

John 14:2-6...........2 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know." 5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  NKJV

Are we quick to pull out our Bible and lead someone to life everlasting? Are we thoughtful of others to pray for them and those situations that arise out of an untimely death for some youth that lives in another state? Or is it always about me, my say and what I am doing? These are things I ask myself all the time. Am I making a difference to speak life into others or am I wasting time? Do I stop and pray for those who suffer such a tragic loss of a family member? For whatever the circumstance, lives of any color still count!

That paradise is a place of beauty of gardens and fountains, beautiful flowers, crystal looking water and grass so green that invites one to walk there.  And there is a place to reside forever in the Paradise that awaits. AND YOU DO NOT KILL ANYONE TO GET THERE!

If you feel no one hears you, then get to Jesus now, and tell Him everything. Do not leave anything out that plagues your heart. Jesus sticks closer than a brother. Tell Him your hurts, heart-ache and pain. Tell Him life is hard, but expect Him to give you love that one can not comprehend. He will reach out and touch your heart and bring healing and much hope to give you life full of promise!

You do not need a megaphone, and in fact all you have to do is just whisper His name and He will be there! He will be there to soothe the pain, and give You His words of love and invite to you to come and be with Him for eternity. We must come with a humble heart much like the young man on the cross. God can handle our anger, complaints, and disappointments. He knows us! And He is able!

Father, You see the chaos in the world today. Whether we are red, yellow, black or white, it is YOU who created each of us for YOUR plan of good. I pray today for those who know not why such trouble may assail them, but that YOU have the power that each person needs to overcome their situation and circumstances. For those who are saved, may they reach out to YOU today and know You have a better way to get to the answers they need! In the face of discouragement and much anger, may each choose to believe Your Word that is mighty to deliver. Father thank YOU, that YOU drive out forces that have set themselves up against Your children. And for those who may not know You today, Lord send laborers across their pathway. Keep them from the power of the devil and his evil forces. Right now those who have lost a loved one due to racial unrest, I plead the Blood of Jesus over the portals of their minds, their wills and their emotions. May they hear the Gospel of Peace and receive Jesus as Lord of their lives. May they come to the Light and Knowledge of Jesus. And now for all who have the restless nights of  no sleep, with tears and heartache, Your promise of Life in Your Son Jesus brings them all back from the cliff-edge of doom and destruction. May they come to peace in knowing that You are the Prince of Peace! Father, I now close this that each will know the wonderful joy that is just ahead. Whether we are red, yellow, black or white, we are the blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. We give thanks that we are the accepted in the Beloved and redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen.
