Make Ready the Way of the Lord!

Are you ready to fight? Have you been a watchman on the wall, surveying the coming and going of the crowd?

Are you prepared to make the way of the Lord?

Do you even know what that means?

“Make ready the way of the Lord!” The cry of John as he walked out in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

We tend to diminish this statement, this call, to “He's a-comin'! Put on a clean shirt!”

Oh, fool-hearty children. You seriously think John risked life and limb to get you to comb your hair and put out the good towels?

No. It was a battle cry. A charge! A trumpet blast!

“GET READY! HE'S HERE! Soldiers, up and running! Get your weapons, saddle up and ride. THE WAR HAS BEGUN.”

Franklin Graham is making waves this week in the news. Why? Because he is stating his opinion, based on his experience, education in Scripture, and belief in the tenets of All Mighty God.

And that, my pumpkins, is not going to go over well. Not in Washington. Not in political circles. Unfortunately, not in many 'churches' in the country.

There is more to this than a crappy government. Our leadership in the USA is not incompetent, or lazy, or stupid. Our present situation is a well mastered, cleverly executed and driven plan. And not a new one.

And the church mice keep doin' their thing. Teaching Bible classes. Having fellowships. Playing games. Starting up ministries.

And Rome is burning.

We are called to be warriors. Not just praying and hugging people (which is wondrous

) but to learn to fight, to war, to win. If you think we are going to win peacefully, you have NOT been reading the book. Real Christians do not live in fear. We are getting ready for WWIII.

It will be here.

It will be on my street.

I am going to win.

How about you? Are you ready? Will you stand and fight for those who cannot? Will you be the cold cup of water Jesus was talking about, or are you going to be the wanderer in the desert crying to go back to slavery?

Make ready the way of the Lord!!
