Christendom- Tear down those walls-And walk through fields of fire!
Posted by appolus on December 19, 2014
Many famous men have uttered many famous words and they have unleashed a truth that seems to be a catalyst for bringing the very words to pass even if it takes weeks, months years of even centuries. I think of the framers when they spoke of all men being equal and all having rights that came from God Himself. When they spoke those words millions of their fellow countrymen were enslaved and it would take at least another two centuries for those words to come even close to being fulfilled, but it came. President Kennedy famously announced that within a decade America would put a man on the moon. When he spoke those words it was almost impossible for that to be carried out, yet, it came to pass. Read below what President Reagan spoke to a people enslaved by a dark system that stifled their freedom while standing at the Berlin wall………………
“We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Later on in his speech and much less well known, President Reagan said …………
“As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner, ‘This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.’ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.”
Jesus said, in John 17:10-23 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”
The walls that Christendom has erected, like the young Berliner said, cannot withstand freedom, cannot withstand faith. These walls cannot withstand the Word of God spoken from His very own lips through Jesus our Lord. The walls will come down. The world will know and see a visible Church standing as one and they will see the glory of God. He will bring it to pass. The Body of Christ will walk in open fields of glory. These fields will be set on fire by the flames of persecution, yet as the world peers into the flames they will see the Son of man in the midst of the fire standing with His own and preserving them. I pray I live to see the day. Christendom…………Tear down those walls!!!!!

Hi Frank, I just read this today…I don’t know if you already knew about it. Just so sad…all the apostasy. As in the days of Lot for sure. http://www.charismanews.com/culture/46523-yet-another-major-denomination-moves-towards-ordaining-openly-gay-pastors

For sure JoAnn. Ultimately these organizations will do whatever they need to do to survive. It is for reasons just like that, that the Body of Christ will leave the denominations behind and the ” nominal,” Christian. Ultimately the genuine saint is a lover of the truth and will follow it no matter where it leads them. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and the Holy Spirit leads and guides His own………..bro Frank

I’m praying for 2015 to be a year where we praise and claim territory!

For sure PTD. The warfare that we fight is in the spiritual realm and there is a seeming massive loss of ground, not unlike when Jesus was hanging on the cross. Yet, just like the old cliche says, it is always darkest just before the dawn, then the great darkness that covered the land while Jesus hung on the cross was soon replaced by great light when He arose triumphantly. We will see such darkness and, I believe, are in the birth pangs of such darkness right now, because Christ will soon return for His bride. It is important to have eyes to see what is actually going on and not look at the gross darkness that is covering the land as we speak. Look and see and know that we are on the threshold of the end of ages and the light that will cause the sun to be nothing more that a single candle is on His way…………………bro Frank
