• A passion is stirring in my heart.

  A dream too big for these small hands to carry out

  An injustice I’m willing to give all I am to see ended

  I’ve had other dreams, a big one I’ve carried for six years

  But I’ve never known such passion.

  I’ve never cried the tears of others day after day

  Never carried a burden in my heart

  Never been so willing to give my all

  I’ve had other dreams.

  Dreams I could see these hands fulfilling

  Dreams where my life was not risked but my name received the glory

  I’ve carried other burdens, on my lips but never in my heart

  I’ve loved a nation for my glory but never for their salvation

   

  I’m desperate. Desperate for a hopeless land to find the Hope their hearts long for. I’m longing for a lost childhood to be restored to a generation. I’m crying for peace in the midst of horrendous acts. I’m hungry for revival and I can taste change. And I’m ready. I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to do whatever it takes. I’m ready to pour out my blood if that is the cost of revival for a nation. I’m ready to pour out my heart in love for a wounded land. I’m ready to battle with prayers stronger than the weapons they use and love that will stop evil from swinging another machete.

  I believe that the prayers of intercessors have been stored up before us. The bowls of intercession are full and ready to be poured out over the people of this earth. (Rev 5:8) Our mothers in the faith have cried out to God for the ending of abortion and this generation can go in and reap their fruit. Our ancestors have fasted and prayed for revival in Africa and we can bring that bit of heaven to earth. It is our time. It is time to not just go for the outskirts. There is a place for standing in abortion clinic parking lots and saving babies one at a time, but I believe that we are equipped to end abortion. There is a place for building orphanages to rescue children of aids and war, but I believe we are called to bring an end to these wars that are orphaning children and the immorality that is causing their parents to die of aids. There is a place for foster parenting and adoption, but God is calling us to dream bigger. We can live a comfortable life and save a couple people. Or we can take on the mantle that Christ is offering us and save a tribe, a generation, a nation.

  If you could give up the next three years of your life before you begin doing what you want to do to fight for an area of injustice in the world and be guaranteed that it would be ended, what would you fight for?  Maybe it is worth giving up a few years to see poverty ended in Asia.  Maybe it's worth living below where you have always dreamed of living so that you can see a generation of unborn babies live. Maybe it’s worth giving your whole life for…
