The Call to Protect the Children

In the spring of 2010, I received a personal visitation from Jesus in vision of the night. I share in content of book, I was too "busy" during the day, like Martha, instead of like Mary, her sister, who sat at the feet of Jesus attentively listening to His instruction (Luke 10:38-39). From one exposition to another, I extrapolate upon revelation from God, if the stars in the heavens boldly shine, according to preordained God given purpose, separating light from darkness on earth, how much more the body of Christ (Gen 1:16-17; Ps 19:1-4)?Accordingly, excerpts from book: "His Words resoundingly echoed until the dawning of the day. The sleepy, slumbering eyes within the winding corridors of my heart were spiritually awakened through the sustaining bloodline of the eternal spoken Word of Jesus Christ and His call to: "PROTECT THE CHILDREN."' The dichotomous contrast, "protect the children" as opposed to, "protect my children, weighed heavily upon my heart. The Lord revealed "whosoever" in Christ Jesus are "the children" to protect (John 3:16). Both Jews and Gentiles were called, before the foundation of the world (Gal 3:26-29; Eph 1:4). Consequently, the stars inaudible message to me and body of Christ: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Eph 5:14). The body of Christ are children of light, called to continue Jesus' work and passion, which is seeking to save the lost (Luke 9:10). God is longsuffering, waiting for unbelieving Jews and Gentiles to recognize Jesus Christ as the True Light (Eph 1:18). Christians are ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20), Jesus' body on the earth; His servants/ordained ministers with preordained call to fulfill His Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20).
