Rise Up

“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”

Romans 8:19

There are so many definitions and ways that “Rise Up”, can be used; but I am referring to the act of rising or a state of being. In the midst of your sufferings, you can rise above it by being unmovable; which will show creation, not to mention the world, who your Father is. “Rising” and “being” are powerful choices that we can make as long as it is called today. They are both verbs and require daily hard work, just like faith. Let me remind you that God’s most mentioned requirement of us, is to be strong and courageous. You don’t need wings to fly, because flying is simply rising above it. There is no room for us to be sleeping or not watchful, as it is written “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”

Trials, suffering, death, sickness, pandemics, evils, injustices, politics, and racism; who does the creation and world see is being magnified in our bodies and are we saying where is God through prayer? Let us not get it twisted, saying “Where is God?”, is simply pleading the blood of Jesus over the situation through prayer. The biggest kept secret is not knowing who we are in Christ, which prevents us from rising up or taking dominion. Creation throws everything at us including the kitchen sink, but we can choose to fall or rise up, showing creation who we are.

We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I know that you broken down, but don’t get tired now. Consider all the mountains that got moved yesterday. I know that you are heartbroken, but you have to keep moving. Nothing has passed until you get past it. Satan is never behind us if we stop moving; which only makes us attractive to the bottom feeders. The Lord stands with you, strengthen yourself in Him. You are a child of God, rise up like the eagle that you are. Let nothing move or shake you, be strong and courageous. There is a Light in you that can not be overcome by any darkness in life. It’s by the Blood in you, that creation and the world will know who your Father is. As it is in the natural, so it is in the physical; everything grows and rises up from the darkness.

Let us rise up like the olive tree out of the bitterness, lies, the past, dirt, gloom, brokenness, teardrops, hate, hurtful words, pain and damage from slavery.
