Come Make War

Rick Pino has some amazing music! Come Make War is one that I absolutely love!! I blare it in my car and sing sooo loudly along with it! It's so hard to listen to his music and not get into it! But every time I listen to it, I mean REALLY listen to it I think about all the things we put before God. It's wrong. There's so many things that people put before God. Whether it's a boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, friends, the internet, electronics, video games, and so on. One that I've struggled with is that I want to find the man God has created for me. I want to get married. I've let that get in between my relationship with God. It's something that I've been working on. I think that's why I love this song so much. I want God to be first in my life. In all I do. 


The chorus of the song is:
Come make war on every other lover. Hedge me in, come build Your wall of fire. Come make war on every other lover. Hedge me in, come build Your wall of fire around my heart.


That has become my prayer. Asking God to make war on EVERY other lover! To build His wall of fire around my heart so that nothing can come between Him and I! 


The first verse says:
No more sleeping love, no more sleeping bride. No more white washed tombs with the bones inside. Thereʼs a new breed rising with fire in our eyes. 


We are the bride and Jesus is the bridegroom. It's time to wake up! Want revival? Get up and do what God intended you to! Don't sit back and do nothing and expect revival to just fall on your head. Yes God can do it that way but He wants to use you! 


The second verse says:
Young ones full of visions, old ones dreaming dreams. Be warned all you judges, be warned all you kings. Rid the land of altars setup to other gods. 

Blow the trumpet in Zion, awaken every heart.

Joel 2:28 says, "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions."

It reminds me of this human video I did. I saw it at a youth conference at a church called The Ramp down in Hamilton Alabama. Here is the link:

Don't let things get in the way of your relationship with God! I promise God keeps your best interests at heart! He knows your heart and desires. He created you and your heart. He put those desires in you. But give God control!! 

Walk on the Water

Faith. The definition: complete trust or confidence in someone or something. 


I know I write a lot of these blogs off a song that I've heard. But I love music! I can hear someone say something and not understand it completely but as soon as I hear it in a song, it really hits me! So for this one, I'm using Walk on the Water by Britt Nicole.


You look around. It's staring back at you. Another wave of doubt. Will it pull you under? You wonder, "What if I'm overtaken? What if I never make it? What if no one's there? Will you hear my prayer?"

It's so easy to fall into those kinds of thoughts. Into doubt. That's exactly what satan wants! We have to be so careful! God's always there for us. He only what's His best for us! Is there something you want to do with your life? Is there something you want to do for God? Put your faith in Him!! Maybe you don't know what you want to do yet. Just trust God! I'll be honest, I'm almost 20 and I'm still not completely sure what I want to do with my life or what I'm supposed to do. But I'm putting my trust in God. 


When you take that first step into the unknown, you know that He won't let you go.


Take a step out there! Put your whole trust in Him. He won't let you go! He loves you too much! 


So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose? Your insecurities try to hold to you. You know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move. Your faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water to.


Let me ask you, what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose? Honestly, this life is short and we're not here to get rich and then die. We're here for a purpose. God has a plan for our lives! For you specifically! Don't let your insecurities hold on to you! You are made for so much more than what this world has to offer!!! Have faith in the God that has Created you! In the God who gave you the gifts and talents in you! 


Just imagine the things God can do in you and through you if you just have faith in Him!! Maybe God wants to use you to heal someone. Maybe He wants to use you to speak life into someone's life. Maybe He wants to use you to bring His Word to the "unreachable." All you have to do is surrender your all to Him and put all your faith in Him! Have childlike faith in Him!
