The Call To Rise

I. The Voice of the Lord Breaks the Silence

The Lord’s voice resounds across the nations, not in hushed tones, but in proclamation. It is not a mere whisper to the ears of the religious, but a thunderous cry for the whole earth to hear: the hour of judgment has come upon Babylon.

“The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” —Joel 3:16 (KJV)

Babylon, the global system of rebellion, deception, and idolatry, is collapsing under the weight of its sin. This fall is not metaphorical alone, it is a spiritual and visible upheaval of systems, governments, economies, and religious deception that has exalted itself above God. The fall is inevitable because judgment is rooted in righteousness.

II. Salvation Declared Amid Coming Judgment

Though judgment is declared, salvation remains extended. The same mouth that declares wrath offers mercy. His desire is not condemnation but redemption. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

“For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.” —Luke 9:56 (KJV)

Yet salvation requires a turning, a departure from disbelief and self-will. The Lord says clearly: “You who choose not to believe cannot be saved.” Not because He withholds grace, but because unbelief rejects it. Faith is the hand that opens the door to life.

III. The Ruach Moves: The Spirit Breathes Life

Across the earth, the breath of God, the Ruach, moves. Not only as wind, but as life-giving Spirit. It awakens the dead, gives sight to the blind, and opens the ears of the spiritually deaf.

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” —John 3:8 (KJV)

In this generation, the Spirit is quickening millions. The harvest is immense, and the time is short. Now is the hour to respond. Disaster is indeed at the door, but so is the Deliverer.

IV. The Two Roads: The Illusion of the Easy Path

There are only two roads. One leads to life, the other to destruction. The path that seems right to man often ends in ruin. Its ease is a lie. Its charm is a snare. It appears intelligent, progressive, inclusive, but it leads to hell.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” —Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)

The narrow way, by contrast, may seem difficult, but it is the only way to eternal life. It is not walked alone. Christ walks it with us. He strengthens, guides, and comforts those who yield to Him.

V. A Foundation That Cannot Be Shaken

The Lord invites us to build our lives upon His unshakable foundation. His truth is not shifting sand, but rock. When the winds of deception blow and the floods of affliction rise, only those anchored in Christ will stand.

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.” —Matthew 7:24 (KJV)

The Word is our blueprint. The Spirit is our teacher. The Kingdom is our inheritance.

VI. Spiritual Warfare: The Call to Rise

Now is the time for the warriors of God to rise, not in carnal might, but in spiritual authority. The powers of darkness tremble before those sealed in Christ. The angels of God encamp around the faithful. Demons see the covering of the Lord and flee.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” —Luke 10:19 (KJV)

This is not the hour for retreat. The saints must fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12), push back the veil of deception, and contend for the souls of men.

VII. The Kingdom is Coming: Be Ready to Ride

The Bride must be ready. The Kingdom is not merely future, it is advancing now. We are to be active ushers of its coming, preparing the way for the King of Glory. The Lord invites us to ride with Him, not later, but now.

“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” —Revelation 19:14 (KJV)

Our mission is not self-preservation but Kingdom declaration. To carry light into darkness. To declare His majesty, power, and love.

VIII. A Call to Repentance

The Spirit of God calls now, urgently, to the lost and lukewarm alike. Return to the Lord. Seek Him while He may be found. Do not wait for disaster to awaken your spirit. Let the kindness of God draw you to repentance today.

“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” —Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)

The world is groaning, Babylon is falling, judgment is near, but grace is still extended. Take hold of it.

IX. The Gospel of Jesus Christ

All have sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
—Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
—Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
—Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
—Romans 10:9 (KJV)

This is your moment. Do not delay. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved.

X. Conclusion: Rise in Glory, Ride in Power

The Lord’s invitation is not only to survive, but to rise. Not only to believe, but to become a witness. Not only to be saved, but to be sanctified and sent.

The Spirit is moving. The foundations are shaking. Babylon is falling. But the Bride is rising. She is radiant, prepared, bold, and burning with the Spirit of God.

Will you rise with her? Will you answer the call?

The time is now.
Prepare. Believe. Follow. Ride.

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” —Luke 21:36 (KJV)

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
