More than conquerors

"IT IS TIME!" "IT IS TIME"

It is time to start a revolution my friends! We are called to change this world and bring glory to the very one who created it. Romans 8:30 says this "And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified"  We are a predestined generation, called, justified, and glorified! Why are we sitting around waiting for God to return to be active in our pursuit of the kingdom? Why must we be so stagnant in our faith, wasting time and energy? The time is now!

Romans 8 says this  31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
   “For your sake we face death all day long;
   we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We ARE more than conquerors for the very one we serve, already conquered death! Is that not why we celebrate Easter?

I normally don't write with such conviction but I know that God is calling us to do something bigger than ourselves, bigger than our wildest dreams. I pray that as you read this, God starts to do a work in you that sparks a movement. Please, do not wait for others to start it.. God has already predestined and chosen you to do that work!
