Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD! Awake as in the ancient days, In the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart, And wounded the serpent? Isaiah 51.9

When Israel was the arm of the Lord, God did wonders through this nation; however, by rejecting the One that made an alliance with Abraham, they became a dry and weak branch. The same thing happened in the history of the church. When Constantine emitted the famous decree that declared that Christianity was the official religion of the Roman Empire, the non believers became “Christians” and, because they did not believe in the biblical way, the Most High stopped operating in His work.

It is true that small groups continued to do the will of the Father, but the great works ceased and, human rules were created because of that, demanding that religious presets were to be observed. The result of this was that they made a human religion out of the church, without any divine authority, but with a lot of political and financial power. The church went from being the arm of the Lord to the arm of the flesh, but empty from the power of the Holy Spirit. What a tragedy!

Isaiah felt this; then, guided by the Lord, he wrote that the church needed to wake up. Since he was used to say this two times, we can be sure that God was in a hurry for this to happen. However, 600 years went by before the Christians were baptized by the Holy Spirit again, and His gifts were once again distributed and went into action. This began to happen in Los Angeles, in the United States, in 1906.

Just like in the golden years, where Moses, Joshua, David, the judges and other good kings commanded, Israel would come out victorious by the power of the Lord, today we need experience the same. Those who are saved need to hurry to accomplish the divine plan, because without His arm in action, the Highest can’t do anything. When comparing Himself to a vine, Jesus was very clear in saying that the Vine Itself couldn’t do anything. We are the branches!

The church needs to coat itself with strength, just as Jesus said referring to the Holy Spirit, who anointed us and prepared us for every good work. This strength was given to us, now we need to seek it and set out to fulfill God’s purpose, overpowering evil, delivering those who are trapped in Satan and using the anointing of the Most High to have His work prevail. The best thing is that the Lord affirmed that the glory of the latter house will be greater than the first (Haggai 2:9).

The awakening has to be the same in inspiration and results, just as it was in the days of the primitive church, and greater then what happened to Abraham, who heard that his nephew was taken captive by four kings who had overpowered the king of Sodom and Gomorrah and some city-states, and armed 318 servants born in his house, and headed to war against them and prevailed. We cannot waste the power that was given to us.

The anointing was so great, that Rahab, the prostitute, was deeply touched in her heart and, risking her own life, hosted the spies and sent them to a different direction. We need to see the church of God marching in the apogee of divine authority and taking the Good News to the four corners of Earth.

In Christ, with Love

God of strength! With the Power of the Holy Spirit we can do the same works that Your servants did in the past, and even greater. We don’t need to make any effort, just believe in You. Help us!

Why don’t we consecrate ourselves and believe in You? You are the same and You desire to use us the same way you used Your faithful servants in the biblical days. We cannot lose the battle against darkness.

We have to discover where our flaws are and why we are not able to receive the same manifestations of Your Spirit. We know that the answers are in the Scriptures, but without Your revelation, we will never know our mission or accomplish it.
