After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for His judgments are true and just; for He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of His servants.’” – Revelation 19:1–2 ESV
Warrior
This generation is blighted with dead religion; nothing has become a greater curse. False religion is the great prostitute: seductive, impressive, emotional, but empty of truth and void of Christ. Immoral women in prophecy symbolize God’s people when they fall into apostasy, when they trade intimacy with God for the cheap thrill of spiritual counterfeits. Etymologically, ‘New Age’ is spirituality without Jesus as Lord. It is spirituality without the Cross, without sin, without repentance, without the exclusive claims of Christ, and without the authority of Scripture. Religion is man’s attempt to mandate the Father’s approval; however, it promises meaning but delivers bondage. It offers comfort but produces corruption. It looks holy but leads to hell! Religion without Jesus is a cheap date that costs everything; heart, body, and soul…. And heaven responds with one word: Hallelujah. A Hebrew command: Praise Yahweh.
Leader, the enemies of God have been overthrown, and the gospel has triumphed. Revelation 19 is heaven’s victory celebration, the sound of justice fulfilled, truth vindicated, and righteousness enthroned. This is not quiet worship; this is thunderous praise. John describes it as “like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters, and like loud peals of thunder.” Heaven is united in one voice, one song, one declaration: God wins. Our role is to recognize what heaven recognizes: Truth triumphs. Righteousness reigns. Christ conquers. We must consider that leadership is not about managing outcomes, it is about aligning with God’s outcomes. Heaven is celebrating because heaven sees clearly. It is time to have eyes to see and see it clearly too. We must pray as Brandon Heath sang; “Lord, give me your eyes to see.” We need God’s eyes. Eyes that see brokenness, Eyes that notice the overlooked, Eyes that recognize spiritual need, Eyes that feel compassion instead of judgment, Eyes that see potential instead of problems. Lord, give me your eyes so I can see clearly too!
Conduit, GET READY, a wedding feast is coming- The celebration of the ages; The marriage supper of the Lamb. The union of Christ and His Bride. Our belief, our sacrifice, our obedience, our perseverance; none of it is wasted. The world may mock you. The culture may oppose you. The compromised church may misunderstand you. But heaven sees you. Heaven hears you. Heaven prepares for you. Soldier of God, continue to fight the good fight. Continue to stand firm. Continue to resist the counterfeit kingdom. It is written; For no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9) Remember, heaven is not whispering- heaven is roaring. A great multitude, the redeemed of all ages, stand before the throne and declare that salvation, glory, and power belong to our God alone. Not to systems. Not to denominations. Not to leaders. Not to false religion—BUT GOD! God has judged the counterfeit, God has exposed the corruption, God has avenged the blood of His servants. This is why we are called to be WARRIORS and stand firm. The battle is real, but the victory is already echoing through heaven. Look up, for your redemption is near! Maranatha!
