Never will there be a moment where carrying the cross assigned to us will lack weight.

There will be the weight of deciding to follow when all Hell breaks loose and the weight of following as others refuse to go.

We all carry a cross that is uniquely ours and if you wait on everyone to agree with yours, cheer you on, or be in your corner, that cross will sit waiting.

This is not about “them” friends. It is solely about “you.”

There is a difficult life with Christ when you must set your face like flint.

Isa 50:7 – For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, H2496 and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Flint is hard rock but better yet when it is struck it lights a spark.

You will need to be immovable to fulfill the call of God. The world will come calling in many various forms, but Jesus is now deeply engaged with those who have ears to hear.

He is coming for those who have their face set like flint, their ears open to hear, their nets willing to drop and simply “follow me.”

If we are to be “like a flint” the intent of Christ is that we are the vessels that ignite a spark. We are the ones that carry the fire of God that can bring others into the fold and partner with Him to make new fire-starters.

It’s time to light the matches.

Many of the coming fire-starters have been struck with severe testings and hellish assaults but up from the valley and out of the wilderness they now walk clothed in power.

You didn’t realize you were following Jesus into a wilderness of testings…but you were.

Those who have endured and come up like gold will now be like flint. They simply refused to die.

An army of men and women are rising now to contend with darkness and all manner of chains clanging.

Hell shudders because they know what’s coming.

The remnant that has been put to a million deaths will now rise with Christ Jesus like a flint.

Immovable.

Not turning to the right or to the left.

No.

They will ignite fires everywhere they go and, like Joshua, they will be given every place their foot now treads.

Here come the fire-starters!

Hallelujah!!!
