Fire in our hearts - Jesus Army

FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
AWAKE O ZION!
‘Now, my brethren,’ said Noel, putting down the book and
looking intently at us, ‘this is not an easy road. But Jesus trod
it and we must follow him. We Christians must become a force
declaring something new. Remember, when Luther stood up
for truth, it was as if he got hold of a rope connected to a
great bell that rang all over Europe. Beloved, our nation is
ripe for a radical demonstration of Christianity. Only that will
save the day.
‘We are to forge a holy Christian culture such as is rarely
seen. Our worldliness is against it, and our flesh will scream
in pain. Are we willing to be such a third race? Or would we
rather stay in the establishment? People’s minds have been
so brainwashed today that they think the way British society
runs is somehow righteous. Do you really think it was ordained
in heaven? What utter nonsense! Are we then going
to be trapped by the greedy urges of society? No!
‘Now the Hebrews have a word shalom, which means peace,
harmony and completeness. It is such an atmosphere of fulfilment
and simplicity that we desire to create.
‘Let me quote an Anglican bishop. “We need a new kind of
monastic movement,” says John Taylor, “to include simplicity,
non-violence, and community.” 38
‘You see we are going to refuse the world’s pressure! We
are getting off the treadmill. We are regaining our creativity.
The drives of materialism are moving against human fulfilment.
All kinds of things are taken for granted that are dehumanising
man. I hate it! We must say “enough is enough”! We
pursue this old way no further.
