The King is Coming



All who have an ear to hear,
listen now, and listen clear

Our leaders cannot save our land;
it shouldn't be hard to understand.

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. - Psalm 121:1-2

It's time to seek the Lord above;
it's time to return to our First Love.

So tell the people that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.’ - Zechariah 1:3

We fight our battles in prayer;
that is our key in this warfare.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Ephesians 6:12

We wrestle not against flesh and blood.
God is our ark through the flood.

 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. - Isaiah 59:19

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
Trust in the Lord; He is our Joy.

The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly. - John 10:10

“Do Not Grieve, For the Joy of the Lord is Your Strength” (Nehemiah 8:10)

He is our present help in times of trouble.
He's already busted satan's bubble.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1

I am He that liveth, and was dead; behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and death. - Revelation 1:18
 
No matter what is taking place,
you can find rest in God's embrace.

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. we come unto Him we shall find rest unto our souls - Matthew 11:28-30

Repent and call on Jesus' name.
The King is coming to forever reign.

“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” - Romans 10:13

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14

Then the seventh angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” - Revelation 11:15
