On Your Knees

Prayer

• When was the last time you prayed?
• When was the last time you kneeled to pray?
• When was the last time you kneeled to pray on concrete in the dead of winter with the temperature sitting at a cozy -15 degrees celsius?
  
• When was the last time you kneeled to pray on concrete in the dead of winter with the temperature sitting at a cozy -15 degrees celsius with hundreds of other prayer partners?
• 
  When was the last time you kneeled on concrete in the dead of winter with the temperature sitting at a cozy -15 degrees celsius with hundreds of other prayer partners, knowing that there were police watching and roaming about, at the ready to drag you, or your kneeling neighbour, away for being in your own countries capital, on land that belongs to you and every other national citizen, exercising your freedom of expression in a peaceful protest?

When was the last time you fought the good fight on your knees, dear one?

Heavenly host

Despair can drive us to our knees and it is faith that keeps us there. My heart melts at the images I have seen, of Canadians kneeling in prayer in the cold Canadian capital. Many have travelled across the country to be there now. Praise to the Lord in song and prayer have gone into the ether, witnessed by the heavenly host and by those that would rather the Canadians shut up and go home. 

The heavenly host is rejoicing, while the wicked ones are grimacing and conniving, trying to find a way to silence the lovelies, and keep them from influencing others with their love of God and each other. The outcome is up to God, and what is up to each of us is believing this:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)

One focus

Forgive me for this bold statement. Most people were purposeless prior to the hostile takeover that we experienced globally not that long ago. There is now one focus with two opposing teams, and it has become clear that we must be about our business, we must answer as them who are the called according to his purpose, if we are on team Jesus! There isn't a day that has gone by for anyone of us, that the topic of you know what hasn't been discussed, debated, analyzed, lamented, cried and prayed over! 

Obsession is unhealthy, and the nonstop discussions are exhausting. What is super heathy and invigorating, is talking about the value of life, sharing faith, and planning ways to be united with others that seek God, and desire His righteous justice and leadership. 

Love God

This is what we are watching from afar, or for some, experiencing up front and personally. It doesn't matter what the enemy is up to, Canadians that love God and their fellow man, will do what they are called to do at the risk of being whisked off to jail, pepper sprayed, or even trampled by riders that corrupt their own calling by breaking laws they swore to uphold. 

Pledging our allegiance

We are publicly pledging our allegiance to one or the other team captain, dear one, and this is how it must be. 

Team Jesus wins no matter what it looks like on this plane. Those that belong to team Satan will have their day in hellish court without an advocate.

God knows who belongs to Him 💘
