Hearts That Are Ablaze

The battle is intensifying for the kingdoms of the earth
The choice is enslavement or releasing liberties rebirth
Their plot almost completed, was ready to be sprung
The gallows they are building are the ones they’ll be hung from

Our Commander leads the way, we must follow close behind
Each must hear His voice to know the place where we are assigned
Not all His forces are ready, some have refused to fight
They are the foolish ones who let their lamps go out at night

“God’s people have been sold for destruction and slaughter”
Is the cry of despair from His sons and His daughters
Our eyes look to the Lord with a repentant, trusting gaze
“Forgive us our sins as we return to You and Your ways”

This is my petition Lord, and my sincere request
That You would fight on our behalf to usher in Your rest
Come and heal our land so we may praise You all our days
Reveal Your glory to the world in hearts that are ablaze

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 - “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 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.”

Esther 7:3,4,9,10 – “Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. 4 For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.”

9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”
The king said, “Impale him on it!” 10 So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king’s fury subsided.”

Matthew 25:1-10
Esther 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
