Out of the ashes, the debris and the dust… I will raise up an army of warriors to send to the world. They have witnessed persecution, killing, carnage, plagues, famine and disease…. they will be used to minister My Love to a hurting, desperate, dying people. Desolation has been their breeding ground.
They do not position themselves before man. They simply forgive those who have persecuted them and stolen the lives of their loved ones. They love those who hate them in return. They petition Me on behalf of those who rape, steal and torture. They hunger, thirst and suffer and yet still praise me.
Their lives, their testimonies will I use to melt the hearts of man… to instil courage, hope and faith. These will be my bearers of change.
The picture I saw was of women both young and old. Their daily lives, convicting the hearts of those around them. They present the truth of Christ to people through their actions. Teaching a neighbour how to weave a basket so they may have means by which to support their family - despite the fact that the neighbour once hacked her family to death during a tribal uprising . Another feeding and caring for a neighbours child despite the knowledge that her neighbour falsely accused her to authorities causing her to be beaten and shamed. The women’s only motivation? Not fear but love. The desire to do what is good, what is right, what is love, WHAT IS GOD.
