CHANGE AGENT

The Feeling of More

This is probably not a feeling unique to me, or probably even unique to our generation, but there is a deep feeling of urgency, so I’m going to jump in the deep end.

Many generations have come and gone. Many generations have achieved great things in history, things that have shifted the way we think, things that have greatly impacted the Kingdom. Those same generations that have done great good have also failed in many ways. I say this not to be critical, because, Jesus aside, there is no man, nation or generation without it’s fatal flaws.

That said, setting our eyes on today, there is a desperate urgency and need for our generation to stand up, and to stand up in a BIG way. Our thought patterns have to change, this desire to be individually great has to be put aside and we need to learn to walk as one, because the mountains in front of us, they require alignment. Real alignment, not the perception of.

“They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down.”

‭‭Joel‬ ‭2:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We can no longer just call ourselves God’s army, we must be it and our allegiance must be to God and not self. The world is corrupting the minds of our generation, the generation behind us and the generation after that, and as God’s children, aware of who we are, it is on us to cry out.

“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As one body, we have to fight against the deep roots of corruption in our culture, begin to instil good values and mindsets in the coming generations or we’ll never see our nation change. We have to teach true love to overcome the ever growing numbers of people fighting depression, young children hanging their worth on what others think of them, being driven to self harm, fighting suicidal thoughts and many attempting suicide. As one body, we must come against this love of mammon, that has caused many to engage in blood covenants with other gods, to sell their soul for gold that they can’t take with them, we have let it into our culture now we must stamp it out. As one body we must stand firmly against the spirit of the LGBTQ movement that has forced itself into every influential medium, and presented itself as an option to all, twisting scripture to present itself as acceptable to God and representing the truth of the Word as hate.

The battle is not ours, but the Lords, but He requires us to come in one voice and one body in alignment with His heart and to not continue in silence or fear. The things we are fighting with today will only magnify themselves in the generation to come if we don’t stand up to them now.

There is more God requires of us and we need not sit back, or stay in our corners, the vision must be big, because the mountains aren’t small.
