clear the way

Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God! Isaiah 40:3 NLT

This is an interesting scripture. It applies to the return of the exiles back to Jerusalem, but more importantly for the coming of Jesus. John the Baptist was one who prepared the 'Way of the Lord' by baptising people, and preaching repentance from sin.

It applies even now as we seek a fresh outpouring of God on our land. It applies to us personal to a call back to our first love with Christ and dedication to Him, as before.

Yesterday one of Australia's States had an election, and one of the most godless governments was voted back into power. The people of Victoria have showed their colours, and the people of God need to take notice. This particular state has the worst abortion laws, the worst LBQT laws and is set against Christian schools. Where is the church in all this? The church was putting forward representatives for the senate in a hope to create a voice and a balance. I pray they were successful, these results will not be a quickly known for a few weeks.

The Australian church needs to take note. Just because this did not happen in their state did not mean they were not responsible for prayer. Prayer changes things!

Make way for the Lord!
