The Spirit of Salvation

Dear Saints, now is an important time in history and we must not be caught unaware of the war that goes on around us. God longs to restore His children to Himself and
release His power through us to fight for the lost. It is His desire to deliver the captives that He might reveal Himself to them. Beloved, cry out to God for the release of the Spirit of Salvation.
In Him, Victoria
Purchased for God
"Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation"
(Rev. 5:9).
In the beginning, our heavenly Father created us for Himself and He greatly delighted in His creation. He meant for us to be His family and He loved us so much. However, Satan was perverted by His sick
jealousy of man and sought to destroy what God loved. He twisted the words of God and lied to mankind in order to devour them.
How the Father mourned the loss of His dear ones that He cherished; how He wept over them.
And how Satan used them to hurt God more and more by driving them to sin, then using their sin to torment them all the while "claiming" ownership of them. How it wounded the Father's heart each time His beloved would
chose to sin and be driven farther from Him.
God watched with a crushed and broken heart as His dear children were deceived and trapped in the bondages of the enemy. As the adversary used sin to devour the beloved of
the Father and stole their hearts, blinding their eyes to the Father's true character, He wept.
Jesus saw the anguish of His Father and could not stand to see Him broken hearted. He said, "Father, I will go. I will
win back Your family for You. I will fight for them."
Released from Death's Grasp
Jesus knew it would cost Him His life, yet He loved His Father so much, He willingly gave His life to restore us to His
Father. He made Himself as helpless as a lamb, completely vulnerable to the enemy. For love's sake He gave His life for us to restore us to His Father. The enemy stripped Him, beat Him, and crushed Him, yet Jesus stood against
him.
Staying on the cross, Jesus endured all that hell could throw at Him because He knew His prize was us; to redeem us. He hung there, letting them torment Him, all the while having the ability to rip the cross from
His back and burst forth with more power than earth had ever known, releasing Himself from death's grasp. Yet, He endured it all for the Father's sake; to destroy death and grant us life.
Jesus overcame and the enemy of
the garden was defeated. Death was stripped of its power. Life now ruled; it had the upper hand. True life was birthed through His sacrifice so that we might truly live!
The Choice of Life
Hell was our
destination, yet The Father gave us a choice - an amazing, wonderful choice. By receiving the sacrifice of Jesus' death, we can live with our dear Father, who loves us so much, forever. Or we can stay on Satan's course and live
as his property, experiencing eternal death even while we live. For not knowing God is eternal death - an eternal living death.
God desperately wants His family back. He wants His children to know how much He
loves them. Moreover, He is not willing to lose even one to Satan's grasp.
The Father weeps every day over the torment the enemy put His creation through. He weeps for them to know true joy and love; to know Him. He longs for them to be a part of His family and experience His love. He desires to awaken the hearts of those who do not know Him.
Dear Saints, we must tell them of Jesus' sacrifice for them and of the Father's love. For the sake of the Father's heart, they must know Him. He loves them so much and they need Him desperately. They need Him to wipe
away the tears and wounds of their past and the shame of sin and failure. They need Him to love them the way He has loved us.
Pray this with me:
Dear Father,
Help us to awaken Your creation to the knowledge
of Your heart for them. Give us power to share with all who are willing to hear, and to fight for them to know You. We love you Lord and we want to bless You by bringing Your children home to You, so you can love away their
hurts, restore their mind, and fill the emptiness inside of them.
Father, open the flood gates of heaven and pour out the Spirit of Salvation on our cities that heaven might truly rejoice! Lord, we want SOULS, SOULS, SOULS and more SOULS. Yes, Lord, we will go into all the world and we will make disciples of all men for You, because we love You so much. Truly, You are worthy of our love.
For You, Jesus, may we fight, because You made Yourself a Sacrifice for us. That sacrifice will not be in vain. Break off the bondages of passivity and fear from Your church and work through us that we might fight as You fought to bring the Father's children home to Him! Equip us, Lord, and strengthen us to war for Your kingdom and for the Lamb!
In Jesus' name, AMEN
