LET IT BEGIN HERE

Those four words are immortalized on a monument in Lexington Common where Captain John Parker was the commander over 77 militiamen who faced the British troops at dawn on April 19, 1775.  These are the words he spoke to his men before the first squirmish of the Revolutionary War broke out in America.

Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.

We have been drafted into a Revolution far bigger and more significant than the American Revolution because it is about Heaven and Hell, life and death.  It tells us in Isaiah 9, that Jesus was bringing a new government on His shoulders.  A Kingdom not of this world but of eternal significance and reality.

What does it look like for us to allow the King of Heaven to unleash a spiritual revolution in our lives and through our lives?

In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus picks up the scroll of Isaiah and reads these words, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

This is what we are talking about when we say, “REVOLUTION.”

Will we surrender our hearts, minds, souls and strength to the King of Kings?  Will we choose to Hear His Words, Listen to His Voice and Obey His Commands?

This is where the REVOLUTION begins and may we say as Captain John Parker did all those many years ago, “LET IT BEGIN HERE!”
