Raise The Rod Of God
River’s Edge Church
Many battles are fought and won by
intercession, raise the rod of God!
We often take the fight into our own strength,
our own strategies, rather than lifting up our hands in intercession
and letting the Lord make war on our enemies.
How many of us intercede in prayer until we
are exhausted and keep going.
I would say most have no idea as to what that
is like. Yet that is how battles are fought and won.
Intercede until you are weary, teamed, and
exhausted, with no words to say.
Then begin to allow your spirit to go
into intercession, pray in your prayer language and push it through.
I have watched for years as I have seen my
wife do this time and time again.
Crying out in the mid-watch when others are
sleeping and resting.
Praying in tongues till all she could do was
lay prostrate before a Holy God on the floor of her prayer room.
She has seen many victories, heard many
answers and given many revelations.
That is a warrior! I am learning, that is a
true help mate, I am thankful.
Take Action
“Then came Amalek [descendants of Esau] and
fought with Israel at Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose us out men
and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill
with the rod of God in my hand.’
“So Joshua did as Moses said and fought with
Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the hilltop. When Moses held up
his hand, Israel prevailed; and when he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
“But Moses’ hands were heavy and grew weary.
So [the other men] took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it.
“Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on
one side and one on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going
down of the sun. And Joshua mowed down and disabled Amalek and his people with
the sword.” Exodus 17:8-13 AMPC
Welcome to River’s Edge
Church, Dallas Georgia in the New Hope Area outside of Atlanta. Jesus said “it
is to my father’s glory that you bear much fruit.” He desires us to be fruitful
in our everyday lives. To make a difference outside the walls of the church, to
change lives and impact a world around us with His love. To be a church that
really cares, really loves, and a church where people… they really matter.
We as a people are in a time
and season where our entire world is covered with substitutions, counterfeit
everything. A watching world, though it may not believe in the one who created
them, are created with a void to only be filled with the awareness and knowing
of God. They are not looking for another event, show or entertainment, but
authentic encounters with the God that created them in His own image. As “Iron
Sharpens Iron” they spur each other on in growth and a walk with God. We are to
no longer simply be a “Christian” but more than that, a “Follower” of Christ. A
community that is creating fruit bearers, teaching one to lead every member a
minister, and the priesthood of all believers. It is recognizing every man and
women’s desire to be used of God. A village that will raise the children and
teach them in the way they should go. Friends who will hold their friends
accountable and women who will journey with other women. A fellowship of
believers that believe in healing, and of the deliverance of the oppressed and
tormented. Teaching our children that our God is not a God of history alone,
but a God of now.
