LOVE TRIUMPHS OVER DARKNESS
December 30, 2006
Deep within the heart of man is a calling, deep calls unto deep at the sound of thy waterspouts. The calling is to bring glory to God. How can we lift Him up higher so all the world can see and know that He is God? How can we truly lift up our Lord and Savior? In the Word says that if we love one another, we are lifting up the love of Christ so all the world can see and be drawn to this same love. But if we give into the enemy, and let him harass us, and cause offense and then division among the brethren, then how can the world see and know of His love?
For some we are the only example for them to follow. We are to be living epistles for all to see the true fruit of Christ among His people. But if there is bickering and there is back biting, gossip and hurt feelings, then how are we doing our part as being the Bride of Christ? How are we drawing the sea unto the Savior who loves them so?
So rise up, mighty people of God. Rise up and take a stand against the enemy of our soul and the enemy of God. Join ranks with your brothers. Cast down the hurts and resentments, the jealousies and competition, and unite together in the Spirit of love and grace with one purpose, and that is to promote the kingdom of God, righteousness, truth and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rise up and take a stand this day to unite and be in agreement with our Lord's prayer to the Father that we would be one as He and the Father are one. That is our greatest weapon against the enemy, our love for one another. It is our one and only true command to love our Father with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Its time to cast down our petty differences, the pride and competition, to take off the masks and be real, and let God's love flow between us. And then and only then will we see true revival. Then we will see our differences cast down and true unity take over. And then we will see Light triumph over darkness, Truth over unrighteousness. By His love alone shall we overcome and be the army He has called us to be.
So wake up to the wiles of the enemy to separate the Body. Wake up to the snare of the fowler to pull down prayer in unity. Wake up for this is the day of salvation. This is the day to reign victorious in Christ. The choice is yours! Choose to win and by love is our only way.
