“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” Psalm 33:3 (NIV).I am singing a new song to our LORD this week after attending a great men’s advance last week-end. We are revamping our men’s ministry program at church to be “6:10 Warriors”.
The 6:10 is for Ephesians 6:10, which says, “Finally, be strong in the LORD and in his mighty power.”
We are fired up, armored up, shoulder to shoulder with shields held high. A great team of men prayed for several months for the men’s advance. Results were 120 men at the advance. God exceeded all our expectations and worked in the lives of those in attendance.
God told us in Jeremiah 29:14 (NIV), “I will be found by you.” That is exactly what happened for some of the men last week-end. They finally got hooked up with Jesus after years of battling through life by themselves. Some men had been bound up in chains for over 40 years and are now free.
God’s specialty is bringing a person to the next level and the only way to get to the Father is through His Son, Jesus. He saves us from ourselves and His Holy Spirit guides us to become what God intended us to be.
Looking back on the advance we can see that God did “immeasurably more” than we ever “asked or imagined!” We can see that God used us to score a huge victory in the lives of many.
Walk with the LORD and be pleasing to Him. Hold your head and hands high. Release the presence of the LORD to all that you come in contact with. “I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD.” Micah 3:8 (NIV).
“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,” Isaiah 61:1 (NIV).
Hearts were healed, chains were broken and prisoners were set free. Thank you King Jesus!
Shalom,
