WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD
WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD is a powerful statement.
God is GOOD > all the TIME > God is Good. He never fails to guide my thoughts to the next song to express His LOVE to us. Because of my obedience to that still, small voice, I am guided to a new revelation in the Word. WE THE PEOPLE of the LORD are those who claim to be Christians that believe in God, the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
With that said, let’s start our journey of new revelations from WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD.
INSPIRATION
Robert Gay loves the LORD. And each song he writes glorifies the LORD.
Robert is an exclusive songwriter for Integrity’s Hosanna! Music.
Integrity has recorded numerous songs written by Robert such as; No Other Name, I Praise Your Majesty, On Bended Knee, Mighty Man of War, and many more. He was also worship leader on HM 28, Victor’s Crown. Other singers such as Vicky Winans, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Rhema Singers and Band, Nitro Praise, and many more have also recorded Robert’s songs.
LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN
- There is one body
- We have one Lord
- United in the Spirit
- We are going forth
1Ti 2:5 KJV – [5] For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
- With His praises on our lips
- And a sword in our hands
- We are marching on with power
- As we possess this land
Psa 63:3-5 KJV – [3] Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee. [4] Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. [5] My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips
WHAT DO YOUR LIPS SAY about THE LORD? Do they praise HIM? Or do they complain to HIM? A question to ponder!
- We are the people of the Lord
- We’re a holy nation
- A chosen generation
- Called to show forth His praise
1Pe 2:9 KJV – [9] But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
CHOSEN is another powerful word > one who is the object of choice or of divine favor: an elect person. GOD HAS CHOSEN you and me to carry HIS WORD to the masses. To the north, south, east, and west!
PEOPLE OF THE LORD > BELIEVERS
We are the people of the Lord
We’re a holy nation
Believers in Jesus
Lifting up our voices to the Lord
Jhn 5:24 KJV – [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
- There is one body
- We have one Lord
- United in the spirit
- We are going forth
- With His praises on our lips
- And a sword in our hands
- We are marching on with power
- As we possess this land
1Co 6:14 KJV – [14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
BELIEVER is another powerful word. It is one who has received the TRUTH that Jesus Christ is the SON OF GOD into their hearts, resulting in a new creation.
AND HE DID IT AGAIN
As shown above, “AND HE DID IT AGAIN” appears in my article. The HOLY SPIRIT led me to another MOVIE that brings the words of this song to LIFE >> GOD’S NOT DEAD – WE ARE THE PEOPLE!
Not only do the lyrics of these songs bring a tear to my eye, so do the movies. When they TOUCH MY HEART, I know the HOLY SPIRIT is telling me to share the message with the world.
In other words, there is POWER in the words, WE THE PEOPLE. And for Christians today who HOLD HIS TRUTHS TO BE TRUTH, they sometimes must battle the WORLD for the education of their children.
Therefore, as PARENTS, the education of our children is our responsibility. And as CHRISTIAN PARENTS, we are our children’s ADVOCATES to assure they receive a well-rounded education, including the HISTORICAL lessons from the BIBLE.
To conclude, given the message from my previous article, WE BELIEVE, faith and education are in a battle. WE BELIEVE is about a teacher who battled her right to respond to a student’s HISTORICAL question about JESUS. We also have to battle for the right to choose to HOME SCHOOL our children to assure they receive the FULLNESS of their education.
PARENTING
All things considered, parenting is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job, that God has given us. The Bible tells us that children are a blessing and gift to parents, yet there are times we are left confused and worried that we aren’t doing it right. Although parenting books can be helpful and give Biblical advice on specific topics and struggles, it is the Word of God that can offer parents wisdom and encouragement.
With this in mind, I want to clarify > I APPRECIATE TEACHERS WHO TEACH in our PUBLIC SCHOOLS. My sons attended PUBLIC schools.
To summarize, GOD’S NOT DEAD – WE THE PEOPLE is a movie that will spark a FIRE in your SOUL with righteous anger toward the WORLD’s views of BIBLE EDUCATION in our schools. A FREEDOM GOD has given us.
Pro 22:6 KJV – [6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
In brief, as a parent, I have taken this scripture to heart. And I can say, my sons have not departed from it. I did not depend on PUBLIC EDUCATION to teach the BIBLE to them. As of this day, I AM STILL TRAINING my children with daily BIBLE worship songs, scriptures, and prayers! Our ROLE as PARENT never ends!!!
Pro 1:8-9 KJV – [8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [9] For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck
ILLUSTRATION OF THE POWER
To demonstrate the POWER of this movie, here is the preview with some very POWERFUL WORDS about FREEDOM …
On the negative side, CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT TO PASTOR DAVE …
“Face it, YOUR GOD and your BOOK are in the way…” >> The basic message today!
On the positive side, PASTOR DAVE’S RESPONSE …
“The whole thing started because ONE MAN DECIDED WHICH HILL HE was willing to die on.“
Hence, the arrogance of the WORLD cannot overpower the STRENGTH of the WORD OF GOD.
Rom 8:31 KJV – [31] What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
FIVE MINUTE SPEECH
In conclusion, this powerful recap is the final defense from Pastor Dave. The Holy Spirit reminded Pastor Dave of three words that changed the outcome >>> WE THE PEOPLE.
IN SUMMARY
In summary, THIS 5 MINUTE SPEECH really brought tears to my eyes – my brother, Lewis John Folger, died in Vietnam and his name is etched into the VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL WALL in DC. The first time I saw that WALL, I cried a bucket of tears for the LOSS OF LIFE for all names etched into that wall. They were fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and relatives of many. They gave their lives to defend the FREEDOM of our country.
Thus, as Pastor Dave said > the ATTRACTIONS / MONUMENTS >>> THEY ARE SAYING, “DON’T FORGET ABOUT US!” And this statement reminded me of the BIBLE > GOD is also saying, DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME!”
To conclude this article, the song, ‘WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD’ and the movie, ‘WE THE PEOPLE‘ express the POWER of ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’ GOD made us ‘WE THE PEOPLE‘ to proclaim HIS WORD to the WORLD. To put on our ARMOUR and know that GOD WILL put THE WORDS IN OUR MOUTH to defend the WORD.
In other words, PARENTS need to activate their GOD-GIVEN AUTHORITY to raise their children with knowledge of the BIBLE as a LOVE STORY. That is also a HISTORICAL DOCUMENT with proven evidence that it is TRUE.
In fact, www.youwillwantto.com reveals the blessings Jesus paid for > one article at a time.
