HEAVEN SERENADES: Joshuas in the Land
(Heaven Serenades are poems to be read or song called Psalms)
This blog is written because of a conversation I had with some of my sisters in Christ, who I love and adore. We are concerned about our nation and where we are headed; we are calling, ‘good’ ‘evil’ and ‘evil’ ‘good.’ We also are erasing sexual genders from our vocabulary. Our Father created us Male and Female. And, He ordained the sanctity of marriage to be One Man and One Woman. We are killing innocent babies as “A woman’s right to do so.” Homosexuality is becoming our normal way of life; the world says, “So just accept it.” The commercials of men kissing men and women kissing women vex my soul; they make me sad and angry. The enemy is destroying everything our Lord created as Holy and sacred in these United States of America. Our nation is falling off a cliff that will end up in the pits of the abyss of despair and darkness if we, the Body of Christ don’t do three things, Pray, Stand, and Persevere.
But first, remember these important issues:
- We must give our anger, disgusts, fears, and sadness to the Lord; He overcame ALL the powers of this world.
- We must forgive the actions of those who are following the spirit of the enemy, lest a root of bitterness takes root in our hearts and we become captive to hatred. Then, we are unable to allow the Life and Love of Christ to live and flow through us to His lost souls.
- We must look away from all that would distract us to Jesus who is our peace, grace, and life to live in this world and not be of this world.
As a Righteous Believer in Jesus Christ, We must NEVER GOSSIP but PRAY against the Power, Principalities, and the Sin Ruling through the Hearts of Men and Women:
1 Timothy 2:1-2 – I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
Romans 13:1 – Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
James 5:16 – The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].
We are the Bride of Christ! We are married to ONE husband… our Lord Jesus Christ! Because we belong to Jesus, we will not get entangled in the cares of this world. We will keep our garments unspotted from sin and the culture of this world. We will never coward down or compromise from the TRUTH who is our Lord Jesus Christ and His Words written to us.
As His Bride, We will STAND Against:
- The lies of the enemy changing the context of the scriptures in any form or fashion.
- We will call a “Lie” a “Lie” no matter what beautiful dressing it comes in.
- We will not fear or coward down to the powers of the media or politics who tell us who we are or not.
- We will hold the banner of TRUTH high in ALL that our Father commanded us to do in love.
- We will hold to the Word of God and whatever our Father and Lord say is TRUTH!
As a Soldier in the Army of God, We will PERSEVERE and Never Lose Sight of Why We are on the Earth:
2 Timothy 2:3 (Amplified Bible)
Take with me your share of hardship [passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure], as a GOOD SOLDIER of Christ Jesus.
Jude 17-22 (Amplified Bible)
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22 Be merciful to those who doubt;
23 Save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
JOSHUAS IN THE LAND
Copyright © 2005 Tresca S. Grannum
We are the Joshuas in the land.
Saying it’s time to take a stand.
Stand against the lies of the enemy.
Stand for truth and the life that sets us free.
We stand covered in the blood of the martyrs.
We stand in the footsteps of the brave souls of our forefathers.
We stand in the victory of our Lord, who conquered every foe.
We stand clothed in His precious blood in the Truth we know.
No more doubt or unbelief, we will cast them to the ground.
Put off worldliness and anything that will hold you down.
Set your mind on the things that are eternal.
Where you are seated with Christ on His throne.
In Him, that’s the place you forever belong.
Say goodbye to yesterday, death to your past.
Say goodbye to today, to things that will not last.
Say goodbye to your failures, Jesus’ blood cleansed your sin,
Say goodbye to those places the flesh led you in.
So Stand Joshuas in the victory that is ours in Christ.
It will cost you, suffering, rejection, are you willing to pay the price?
God is for us in all we must endure.
He lives within us and His promises to us forever stand sure.
THERE IS A BATTLE GOING ON FOR OUR NATION… WE MUST NEVER FORGET WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST AND WHY WE ARE HERE!
Enjoy Christ, Enjoy Life!
