Fire in our hearts - Jesus Army

FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
ON THE MARCH
aggression against the devil. A meeting was held for underthirties
(plus a bit over) and Operation Mark was born. (Mark
had been a zealous young disciple of Jesus.)
We printed leaflets:
OPERATION MARK!
A RESISTANCE MOVEMENT OF HOLY REBELS! WANTED:
500 young men and women:
* committed to Jesus Christ
* alive with the enthusiasm of the Spirit
* ready to be Jesus commandos and fight the sins that
are degrading the youth of England!
Our weapons were the love of Jesus and the word of God, and
during marches the ‘rebels’ carried crosses and Bibles. REBEL
FOR JESUS stickers appeared and the logo showed a figure
with raised Bible and cross. Operation Mark ‘rebels’ promised
to live for Jesus and be loyal disciples and inspired personalities.
They were to accept trials and never give in, gain
others for Christ, and actively witness to their faith.
Songs appeared: ‘We are at war!’ and, ‘I’m revolting!’
Nathan put, ‘I’m a rebel for Jesus, from head to toe!’ to a
rock tune! Some made waistcoats with a red cross and REBEL
FOR JESUS on the back. Ian, the solicitor, was like Superman.
When he got home from the office, he threw off his pinstripes,
donned his ‘rebel’ waistcoat, and went out evangelising.
One night, as he was talking to people in a pub, he began
to feel very warm. Someone had set his waistcoat alight!
