Called to Go

Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross — The sinner merely needs to ‘receive’ it.

But Jesus has also defeated His enemy, who is also our enemy, and delivered him and his demons into His people’s hands and given His Church authority over them.

We just need to ‘exercise’ it.

The battle we are engaging in has actually already been won!

The Church just needs to stand up, move in, and possess the land.

Luke 10 tells us about Jesus sending out the seventy disciples ‘before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go’.

This battle is not ours; it is the Lord’s. The only way for the enemy to retain the land is by convincing us that it is not ours and keeping us seated. But the Lord has called us to ‘go’, He has called us to ‘do’ something about the deceived, the suffering and the oppressed, He has called us to ‘speak’ the truth and to ‘rule’ over the enemy that He died to defeat for us.

And when we can with clear conscience say that we have ‘done all’, we are called ‘having done all, to ‘stand’.

So, as we faithfully fast and pray and strike with slashes of light into the darkness, which cannot overcome it, we go, do, speak and stand, and watch the victory that Jesus has already won in Heaven, then be realised on earth. ‘Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’

We have Authority

‘The seventy returned with joy, saying ‘Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in Your name. And He said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Behold I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’
~ Luke 10: 17-19

And verse 21 tells us,

‘In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, ‘I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes.’

Jesus’ army is full of babies! Children of God who have learned to trust in Him enough to believe what He has told them, and to do what He says. ‘Not by strength, nor by might, but by My spirit.’

This video depicts an illustration of what it may look like as our prayers are going across our nation…

Thank you, Father, that Jesus has already won the victory for us, and that now we just need to take possession of it, and give Jesus the glory He deserves for having won it.

May Your Church rise up and realise with revelation clarity that we have been given the power and the presence of the GREAT I AM here on earth.

Worship:

Watch:

Prayer: Father in Heaven, cause those who are continuing in darkness and ignorance to be blinded by Your light and hear Your voice calling their names, and hear You ask, “Why are you destroying My precious babies?” Confront those who are meant to be administering protection to Australians; may they be called to account for their actions and words right now. Disenfranchise those who oppose You, and re-establish Australia’s foundations on the rock of Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ powerful and redeeming Name, Amen.

Prayer for the rising up and might of the Church of Jesus Christ AS ONE.

• Father, inspire us to be confident and courageous in Christ, and when He says so, to GO.
• Father, give us the faith to use the abilities, influence, and wisdom that You have given to us for such a time as this, and DO something with it.
• Holy Spirit, cause us to rise up in boldness and confidence in You, to open our mouths, and allow You to SPEAK.
• Jesus, as those who have been redeemed by Your very blood, gather us together as ONE and arm in arm with You, to STAND, immovable.
• And for the joy set before us, which was the incentive that helped You to face the cross for us, set our eyes on the vision of the enemy falling from the fatal blow which You have already delivered to him.

Spend time today listening to the Lord, and Pray what is on His Heart.

FAST + PRAY = LIFE
