7 Senior Leaders Share Strong Encouragement for This Stressful Time
Jeremiah was called the weeping prophet because he warned God’s people of the 70 years of captivity in Babylon, but he also prophesied a future day of deliverance and blessing. His message is most apropos for us in America in this evil day (Eph. 6:13).
One of his nuggets of strong encouragement is this familiar passage to help keep us on track when we feel weary and discouraged. “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?” (Jer.12:5).
Day of Reckoning
John Kilpatrick, who oversaw the magnificent Brownsville Revival, tells us that a day of reckoning is at hand for the church. Our call is to remain responsibly lighthearted as we go through some dark times already unfolding in 2021 (on the heels of an unprecedented 2020 experience).
Why Singing ‘Lift Every Voice’ During Black History Month Is Not Enough
Popularly referred to as the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” has long been sung in churches, expressing a love of God and country.
This modern a capella rendition of the spiritual ballad echoes the sentiment penned by James Weldon Johnson and set to music at the turn of the 20th century by Johnson’s brother John Rosamond Johnson.
God of our weary years/ God of our silent tears/
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way/
Thou who has by Thy might/ Led us into the light/
Keep us forever in the path, we pray/
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
The symbolism in the lyrics referring to the biblical exodus from slavery to the freedom of the “promised land” mimics much of the recent racial unrest and reconciliation efforts.
Chuck Pierce Prophesies: ‘It’s Time for the Church to Get Fiery’
Prophet Chuck Pierce says it’s no secret that the spiritual war between the heavens and the earth is ramping up. Prophetic voices around the globe are prophesying of the intense, volatile warfare that will accelerate as we move into a new era.
But, Pierce says, it’s up to us as the church to intensify our efforts to recognize what God is doing moving forward and to carry out his heavenly plan as a well-equipped body.
With the installation of a new president in America, the continued devastation of COVID-19 and a culture that is continuing to push God out of the picture, Pierce says children of God must find and establish their position in God’s movement to receive the lookout watchman anointing He desires for us. {eoa}
