The War Before Me

As I gaze over the land that has been raped and ravaged by it's
inhabitants a chill crawls up my spine. The stench of death scorches
my nostrils and burns my lungs as I inhale. Murder and loose morals
darken every street corner with no one seeking a solution. So I hang
my head low as the hunger for HIM, grows inside my soul. Tears begin
to stream down my face and I hear a voice. It was as gentle as a
breeze but as powerful as an earthquake.
I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THEM
Weakness crept over my body and my knees gave way. My head rose to the
sky and I responded, how?
The heavens seemed to smile as a beam of light pierced through the
clouds and fell upon me. My body felt like it was being transformed
from the inside out. I felt the power lifting me back to my feet.
The voice replied, I WILL USE YOU TO UNLEASH ME
My spirit trembled with anticipation, but my body was still like a
tree deeply rooted. My eyes were different. I saw things clearer like
a veil was lifted from in front of my eyes. The profanity I heard
before was now being drowned out by the cries for help. I could feel
the love growing for those who were once involved in all kinds of evil
deeds.
Now I spoke and declared, I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me. There is a war before me, but I will not retreat. I
will lay down my life for the one who saved my soul. I will take back
everything that's been stolen from me, my family, and the nations in
the name of JESUS. Then I shouted, VICTORY IS ON THE HORIZON!!! So I
ran towards it and didn't look back.
