The REASON For Victory–HE Has A Name!
There’s a reason to be happy, to smile, to sing, to get up off our chairs and dance.
YES, there is most definitely a reason to dance, to shout, to raise our voices, to organize a victory parade, and to hang up banners with the proclamation spelled out in a bold, extra large font.
Truly, there is a reason—–TODAY—–TOMORROW—–&—–the TOMORROWS AFTER EVERY TOMORROW—–a perfect reason to shout in JOY.
**What victory has been waged and won? **What reason is there to throw a victory party and to dance throughout the remaining days and nights we are given to live? **What victory gives us pause to raise our voices in shouts of praise? **What reason causes us to line up our vehicles, honking as we make our way through street after city street, driving road after country road, passing by house after house? **What reason do we have today (and every single day we live), to lead the world to join in our victory parade? **What gives us reason to drape banners across the front of our homes, banners that spell out V--I--C--T--O--R--Y!!!
There is a reason to be 100% filled, full to the brim, with joy.
There is a reason to tell our neighbors, to invite our families, to educate our children, to travel far and wide, and there is a reason to kneel, to bow down, in humble praise.
TRULY….THERE IS A REASON!!!
“These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is LORD of Lords and KING of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
(Revelation 17:14)
Who does the apostle John refer to when he was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God to pen those words?—-
Who does he mean by the words—“Who are with Him”?
Who “Are the called And chosen And faithful”? To Whom does the apostle John refer?
And to Whom is given instruction, the holy guidance to dance, to twirl, and to shout? &
Who is led to lift their hands in praise? &
Who is called to raise their voices in song for the whole world to hear? &
For Whom does the psalmist write, wanting the whole world to know as the reason for the victory dance—-Do we know the REASON ?
We can. HE HAS A NAME!
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name;
(Psalm 105: 1-4)
Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Speak of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face continually.”
Do we personally know the ONE who has set us free?
Yes, do we know why we must celebrate and throw a victory party?
Do we understand why we must tell somebody the reason for this VICTORY dance?
And do we know why we must lift our voices and sing with Mandisa the lyrics to the beautiful melody?
“Shackles” (Switch Remix)—-
"Take the shackles off my feet, so I can dance/ I just want to praise You/ I just want to praise You. You broke my chains, now I can lift my hands"
THERE IS ONLY ONE SINGLE REASON!!!!
The Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God—-JESUS.
JESUS tells us the REASON we can do the dance of victory.
“And He said to them [the ones sent],
(Luke 10: 18-20)
‘I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
Behold I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.'”
MY NAME IS WRITTEN DOWN…RECORDED IN HEAVEN—I KNOW THAT I KNOW!
DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW—YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN DOWN…RECORDED IN HEAVEN?
IF WE ARE HIS—-GOD’S.
IF HE HOLDS OUR HEART.
WE KNOW…..HE is the mover of mountains!
WE PROCLAIM…..HE is the Breaker of chains!
WE CAN SHOUT TO THE WORLD….JESUS has triumphed over the grave!
Sing Hallelujah!
HE IS Unforgettable!
BECAUSE….Once we’ve breathed HIS powerful aroma!
WE KNOW…..HE is untouchable!
The battle has ALREADY been WON!
HE is unstoppable!
NOTHING CAN STOP OUR GOD!!!
Today & Tomorrow & For 1,000 Tomorrows……We have a REASON to shout, to sing, to dance, to charge ahead, AND to lift our voices and our banners high.
Our names are recorded in heaven. THANK YOU, JESUS.
THE REASON has a name above all other names &
HIS NAME—IS—JESUS!!!
