A dancing, fighting generation.

Yesterdayen i went to Precius's church...it was MAD! never experienced a church service quite like it, but it was cool :) Man...those guys can SING...their voices, rebound off all the walls and its just this amazing cacophony of awesome harmony...
Anywho, they talked about war...about the time being NOW...the pastor guy was playing his piano during a time of response, and started singing...
"Wake up the mighty men of war..."
woah.
And i just sat there and was like...YEAH...God...WAKE US UP! I was holding my bible, and it fell open to Exodus -

"But Moses told the poeple, 'Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.' Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!...When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that i am the Lord!' " Exodus 14:13-18

Moses had it part right - Don't be afraid, God will fight for you, be calm in that knowledge...but God picked up on the other thing Moses said - just stand still - and He said...NO...tell them to get moving!!
Sometimes, i believe there are times when its in God's will for us to just stand still and watch Him rescue us, that theres times to be still, to just rest under His power and protection...
However, theres also the time to fight with Him, for Him. There's still the resting in Him, but theres also the action in Him - moving because He is in us, moving in faith.
Yesterday, as a congregation they were crying out - turn us into Your soldiers, we want to fight for You...God raise us up as a dancing, FIGHTING generation, we are not weak, we will not be silent, we will march on evil spirits, we will anger satan, all in love for You.
It was mad.
There was so much joy in that church...it was awesome. Man, you see that some of them were going through tough times, its not like their lives are easy, but they were so JOYFUL in the knowledge that our Dad is LORD...it was really refreshing :) So rings true in my heart, theres so much joy in God its unimaginable.

So this is my cry for now - Wake us up Lord...Wake us up.
