Return

Return to the Lord Who Holds All Things

Leave a comment

Romans 11:33–36, AMP

Return to the Lord. You have wandered long enough. You have tried to make sense of life through your own eyes, to map out mysteries with your mind—but the deeper you search, the more you realize: His ways are higher, His wisdom deeper, His presence nearer than you thought. Scripture cries out like a trumpet in this hour: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable are His judgments and how untraceable are His ways!” (Romans 11:33, AMP).

Do you not see? You were never meant to carry the weight of your own understanding. The Lord is not a puzzle to solve but a King to behold. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5–6, NASB). Yet how many have traded trust for control? How many have exalted their own insight above God’s perfect wisdom, forgetting to return?

“He looked at me—not past me. Not through me. At me.” On the shore of grace, Peter meets the eyes of mercy and knows—He came back for me.

It is time to repent—not just from sin, but from self-sufficiency. “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor?” (Romans 11:34, AMP). He is not waiting for your advice. He is calling for your surrender. The world tempts us to build kingdoms of knowledge, towers of self-made success—but the Spirit says, return. Return to the awe. Return to the trembling. Return to the wonder of a God whose ways are not like ours.

We often seek to give to God as though we must earn His favor, as if He owes us something in return. But the Word exposes this folly: “Who has first given to Him that it would be paid back to him?” (Romans 11:35, NASB). He is not your debtor—He is your Deliverer. What gift could you offer that He has not already provided? What return could you make for grace that was freely poured out at the cross of Yeshua?

So come now, weary one. Lay down your striving and your spiritual pride. Kneel before the God who holds galaxies in His hands and still remembers your name. “From Him and through Him and to Him are all things.” (Romans 11:36, AMP). That includes you. Your story started in His heart. Your breath comes from His Spirit, and your destiny is to return to His throne.

The prophet Isaiah declared, “To whom then will you compare God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?” (Isaiah 40:18, NASB). The answer is none. There is no one like Him. And when the Lord reveals His greatness, the only response is worship. Not half-hearted songs, not routines in the flesh, but worship that flows from a heart undone.

Even now, the Lord is calling His people back—not to religion, not to routine, but to Himself. “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and tear your heart and not merely your garments.” (Joel 2:12–13, NASB). He does not want your performance—He wants your heart making a return to Him.

Let the Church be silent before Him again. Let the self-confident be humbled, and the broken be lifted. Let the lukewarm be set ablaze by the fire of His holiness. For the days are short, and His return draws near. “From Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36, AMP).

So return to the Lord. Not later. Now.

⸻

You are the fountain, I was dry,
You are the Shepherd, I walked by,
But now I run, I fall, I cry—
Lord, take me home, to live, not die.

⸻

Prayer

Holy Father, I return. I have wandered in my own wisdom and worn myself with striving. But now I bow. You are God alone—unsearchable in Your wisdom, unstoppable in Your ways, and unmatched in Your glory. I give You everything, for everything comes from You. Let me walk in awe again. Let worship rise in me again. Let all I am return to You, now and forever. In the name of Yeshua, Amen.

Return to the Garden

Leave a comment

“My beloved responded and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come away.’”
—Song of Songs 2:10 (AMP)

You were not made for the wilderness of striving or the bitterness of regret.

You were not formed to dwell among thorns, away from the voice that once called you by name.

You were made for the garden—a place of intimacy, communion, and holy delight.

And the Lord is calling you once more: Return to the garden.

He has not moved. He has not forgotten.

Your Beloved still walks in the cool of the day, waiting for you to meet Him among the lilies.

But your heart, weighed down by shame or dulled by distraction, lingers outside the gate.

Still, His voice breaks through: “Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” (Isaiah 44:22, AMP)

The garden is not a place; it is a Person.

It is where your heart is fully alive in the presence of El Shaddai, the Almighty God.

It is where He speaks, and your soul awakens.

Where His Word is not just read but received like kisses on the lips of your spirit.

It is where your tears are caught and your laughter is holy.

Have you forgotten what it feels like to be near Him?

To walk without fear? To sing without shame?

To let Him call you “Mine”—not because you are worthy, but because He is merciful?

The Gardener Still Waits

“I went down to the orchard of nut trees to see the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vine had budded or the pomegranates had bloomed.”
—Song of Songs 6:11 (NASB)

He is the Gardener of your soul.

And though the soil may feel dry and the branches bare, He still walks among the rows of your life looking for fruit.

He prunes, not to punish, but to prepare.

He digs, not to destroy, but to plant something beautiful again.

You have wandered in deserts long enough.

You have fed on crumbs and called them enough.

But now, return to the garden.

Return to the place of His delight in you.

Return to the One whose love is stronger than death, whose jealousy is unyielding as Sheol. (Song of Songs 8:6)

He Has Never Stopped Loving You

You may feel like you’ve gone too far.

But listen: you cannot outpace the love of Yeshua.

His love has followed you through every shadow, through every night you cried yourself to sleep.

He remembers the days you sang to Him when no one else saw.

He remembers the vows you made in your youth.

He does not forget.

He says to you, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3, NASB)

This is your invitation.

To lay aside the shame and the striving.

To stop pretending and start abiding.

To leave the camp and come to the garden.

Where He waits with eyes full of fire and arms open wide.

Return, Beloved

The winds are shifting. The fig tree is blooming.

He stands behind your wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. (Song of Songs 2:9)

He is not a memory. He is not a myth.

He is alive, and He is calling you to come away with Him.

Return to the garden.

Return to love that never lets go.

Return to the only One who has ever truly known you, and yet still calls you beautiful.

Come back not just for comfort, but for communion.

Not for safety, but for surrender.

He is not angry—He is eager.

He is not condemning—He is crying out.

The thorns that pierced His brow have opened the gate again.

Now is the time. This is the hour.

Return to the garden.

Prayer

O my Beloved,

I have wandered far, yet You have never turned Your face from me.

You have stood in the garden of my soul, whispering my name while I ran from Your gaze.

But today, I return. Not to earn, not to strive—but to rest in Your love.

Let me hear Your voice again. Let me feel the nearness of Your Spirit.

Remove every vine of fear and shame.

Plant again the seeds of joy and wonder in me.

I am Yours, fully and forever.

Lead me back to the garden.

Amen.

Return to the Lord: A Blood-Soaked Prayer

The Lord is here now. He calls us to return in brokenness.

But will we truly come to Him? Not with hollow prayers. Not with rehearsed religion. But with hearts torn, spirits humbled, souls undone? Will we come not only for what He can do, but for who He is—holy, righteous, beautiful beyond compare?

Oh, Church, it is time.

Break you jar before the Lord
Before the healing comes, the jar must break. This is where revival begins—on our faces, with nothing held back.

Break your heart before Him. Tear it like the veil was torn—wide open, exposed to His light. We don’t need better words—we need real repentance. We need holy desperation. We need blood-soaked prayer—not because we bleed, but because He did.

Our hearts groan with conviction.

We have sinned.

We have tolerated what He hates.

We have made peace with the chains He died to break.

We have been too full of ourselves to be filled with Him.

A heart laid bare before the Lord—brokenness that becomes the doorway to healing, freedom, and revival.

But now—we return.

We yearn for more of Him. Less of us.

We cry like David: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10, NASB)

We cry like Moses: “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.”(Exodus 33:15, NASB)

We cry like the psalmist: “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalm 42:2, NASB)

She broke her jar before the Lord—her tears, her pride, her past spilled out in surrender. This is where healing begins: at the feet of Yeshua, with nothing held back.

Let us return not just in words, but in weeping. Let us fall at the feet of Yeshua and cry, “Worthy!” with tears streaming down our cheeks—not because we want something from His hand, but because we cannot live without His face.

Ask Him now:

Lord, I repent.

Lord, I need You.

Lord, I’m not okay with sin anymore.

Lord, I want You more than comfort, more than control, more than myself.

Let the Spirit groan within you. Even when you don’t know how to pray, He knows the cry of the heart. And with just a word—He can change everything.

He has the power to heal.

He has the power to deliver.

He has the power to break every chain.

He has the power to purify your heart.

He has the power to make you new.

But He is not just power.

He is your portion. He is your reward. He is your God.

⸻

Prayer

Lord God, I come not to be comforted but to be changed. My heart is broken over my sin. I don’t want to be the same. I want You. I want Your holiness to burn in me. I want Your presence to wreck me and remake me. Tear down everything false, everything proud, everything impure. I surrender again. I repent again. I lay myself down—not to gain a blessing, but to give You the worship You deserve. You are everything, and I want only You. In the name of Yeshua, the Lamb who was slain, Amen.

Apostolic Prophetic

Sound the Shofar

Beloved, listen.

This is not just another message—this is a cry from the Spirit of the Living God. Open your heart. Don’t scroll past. Don’t silence the stirring. The time is too late and the hour too urgent. These words are not ink—they are fire. They are bread for the starving soul, water for the parched spirit. Eat. Listen. Engage. Heaven is calling, not with suggestion but with summons. The Lord is seeking those who will not harden their hearts but will tremble at His Word. Beloved, return. Return before the door shuts. Return before the harvest ends. Return while there is still breath in your lungs. This is for you. This is for now.

Lay it down.

All of it—the noise, the endless scrolling, the fear-soaked headlines, the idols of comfort and control. Lay down the false peace of passivity. Tear from your hands the chains of distraction. The world is loud, relentless, and poisoned with deception. But the voice of the Lord still thunders above it all. The Shepherd calls. The Spirit groans. And the Father waits.

Sound the mighty spiritual shofar! Not the trumpets of man, not the hollow horns of politics or media spin—but the true shofar of Heaven, the sound that shakes foundations and splits the sky. And today, let everyone hear the call to sound the shofar. Let it echo across the nations, from mountain to valley, from city to wilderness. Let the angels ready their ranks. Let the demons flee in terror. Let it be declared boldly to every principality in the air:

This world belongs to the Lord—and your time is short.

The throne of God is not up for debate. It cannot be silenced or censored. His kingdom does not rise and fall with human empires. The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it (Psalm 24:1, NASB). And yet, so many have forgotten. We have traded His glory for entertainment. His truth for tolerance. His presence for convenience. The enemy has numbed the Church, lulled her into slumber with comforts, busyness, and fear. But the alarm is sounding—and it’s time to wake up.

You powers of the air—hear the sound!

Yeshua reigns. His cross crushed your authority. His resurrection sealed your defeat. And His Spirit now lives in us, the blood-bought, fire-baptized, uncompromising remnant. We are not afraid. We are not backing down. The King is coming, and His Bride is rising.

Today is the day.

Not next week. Not when it’s convenient. Not when the calendar clears or the kids are older or the crisis passes. Now. If you hear His voice today, do not harden your heart. You know the tug in your spirit—that’s God. You feel the ache in your chest—that’s your soul remembering its true home. You feel the heat in your bones—that’s the fire He wants to fan into flame.

The world is choosing. You must choose.

Will you serve the gods of the age—convenience, self, popularity—or will you stand in the fire and declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15, NASB)? The days of playing Church are over. We need consecrated hearts, holy lips, and knees that bend only to the King of Kings. We need altars, not stages. Repentance, not performance. Fire, not fog machines. Sound the shofar today to declare this transformation.

The spiritual shofar is not just a call to arms—it’s a call to surrender. To throw down your idols and come trembling to the mercy seat. To rend your heart and cry, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, NASB). You were not made for survival—you were made for glory. You were not saved to be silent—you were redeemed to roar.

So rise up, Church. Sound the shofar. Fall on your face. Cry out for mercy. Let the tears fall. Let the fire come.

Let your worship shake the heavens. Let your life echo with eternity.

Yeshua reigns. The King is coming. And we belong to Him.

⸻

Prayer

El Shaddai, sound the shofar of Heaven over our lives today. Tear through every layer of apathy and burn away what doesn’t belong. We lay down every idol, every distraction, every allegiance that isn’t to You. Let the kingdoms of this world tremble and the powers of darkness flee. Awaken Your Bride. Awaken me. Clothe us in righteousness, anoint us with boldness, and mark us with Your fire. We declare today: You reign, Yeshua. You alone.This is Your world. We are Your people. And this is the hour of Your glory.

In Your holy, powerful name—Amen.

Repentance, Revival, Seek the Lord

Arise, Return, Seek Him

For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in faithfulness. Every word God speaks is true, unshaken, and just. There is no deception in Him, no shifting shadow of doubt. His Word established the heavens, set the boundaries of the earth, and upholds all things by His power. What He declares, He fulfills—His promises do not waver, nor does He act in error. Everything He does is clothed in perfect faithfulness. What He has spoken over your life, He will bring to completion. Trust in His Word, for it is the foundation that cannot be moved. In His faithfulness, you will never be forsaken.

He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD. God does not turn a blind eye to the affairs of men—He delights in righteousness and upholds justice. He is the righteous Judge who sees every heart and executes His will with perfect equity. Though the world is filled with corruption, His lovingkindness remains, reaching into every dark place, offering mercy to all who will receive it. From the beauty of creation to the mercies renewed each morning, His steadfast love surrounds you. Even in trials, His presence does not waver. He calls you to trust in His justice, to abide in His love, and to live in the confidence that His goodness is not scarce but overflowing, filling the earth with His unfailing grace. Arise and seek Him, for His justice and righteousness are unfailing.

Yeshua, You are the bridge—the only way to the Father. When sin separated us, You made a way where there was none. You stretched out Your arms on the cross, bearing the weight of our sin, paying the price to reconcile us to God. Your righteousness and justice demanded atonement, but Your lovingkindness provided the sacrifice. Now, through faith in You, we are no longer bound by sin but covered in Your grace.

Lord, let us never take for granted the mercy You have shown. Draw us deeper into Your presence, that we may walk in righteousness and live in the fullness of Your love. Teach us to trust in Your faithfulness, to stand firmly on Your Word, and to reflect Your justice in all we do. Let our lives shine with the light of Your kingdom, a testimony of Your unfailing goodness. Arise and seek Him daily, and your life will be transformed.

Therefore, let us shake off the sin that so easily entangles. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NASB) – “Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith.” Do not carry what Yeshua has already set you free from. Break off the chains the enemy has placed upon you—chains of fear, doubt, complacency, and compromise. Have you settled into a life of comfort, trapped in a rut that keeps you from pressing into the fullness of God? Now is the time to arise. No more passivity. No more lukewarm devotion. Return to the Lord with all your heart! Isaiah 55:6-7 (NASB) – “Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked abandon his way, And the unrighteous person his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” He is calling you to seek Him—not casually, not when it is convenient, but with urgency, with hunger, with a heart that refuses to be satisfied with anything less than His presence. Truly, arise and seek Him, for His presence is your refuge.

Joel 2:12-13 (NASB) – “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping, and mourning; And tear your heart and not merely your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in mercy, And relenting of catastrophe.”

“And My people who are called by My Name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14, NASB) This is the invitation. This is the promise. But notice the condition: humble yourself, pray, seek His face, and turn from sin. This is not a suggestion—it is a call to action. Yeshua will heal the land, but He will do it through us. We are His vessels, His hands and feet, but we must first be made right before Him. How can we call for revival if our own hearts remain cold? How can we stand in the gap for our nation if we are still entangled in sin? The work begins in us. Humble yourself. Repent. Pray. Seek His face with desperation. He is ready to move, ready to pour out His Spirit, but He is waiting for a people who are fully surrendered, fully consecrated, and willing to be purified in His refining fire. Arise and seek Him, for He is faithful.

This is not about empty words or religious actions—it is about a heart posture that cries out, “Lord, cleanse me, use me, and let Your glory flow through me.” We cannot expect transformation in the world if we are not first transformed by His presence. The land will be healed, but first, the Church must arise in holiness. First, the remnant must return in full devotion. He is calling you deeper, calling you to be set apart, calling you to be an instrument of His righteousness. Will you lay down everything and seek Him with all your heart? The time is now. Arise. Return. Pursue Him, and watch what He will do through you- seek Him with all your heart, and you will find His grace and guidance. 

In Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen.

A Call to This Generation: Return to the Lord

Beloved, I write to you not as one who is distant, but as one who witnesses the light that has come into the world—the light that still shines in the darkness, which the darkness has not overcome. The Lord’s voice echoes through the ages, calling you to return to the Lord. Now is the time.

This generation has grown weary, entangled in the snares of routine and the comforts of complacency. You have known the form of godliness, yet you deny its power. Although you gather in His name, your hearts remain distant from the fire of His love. The Lord longs for you to draw near, to know Him not as a distant figure but as the living God who is close to all who call on Him in truth.

Do not be deceived by empty rituals that offer no life. The Lord desires more than outward expressions; He seeks your heart. As Scripture declares, “Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning” (Joel 2:12). The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. He will not turn away from the one who seeks Him with a humble heart. Therefore, return to the Lord.

Oh generation, how long will you slumber in the comfort of predictability? How long will you be satisfied with shadows when the substance of His glory is within your reach? The Lord calls you to wake up, to shake off the dust of apathy, and to rise into the fullness of His light. The day is coming, and indeed it is here, when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him (John 4:23).

You are the temple of the living God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you. How can you be content with anything less than His fullness? The Lord desires to fill His temple with His glory, to reveal His presence in your midst. “And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Exodus 40:34). He longs to fill your life with His unshakeable presence, to dwell among you as your God, and you as His people. Therefore, return to the Lord and experience His glory.

Let your heart be stirred. Let the coals of heaven touch your lips and purify your words. The Lord calls you to speak His truth with boldness. Let the fire of His Spirit ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched, for He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). The Lord calls you to a deeper walk, a life where His Spirit guides every step, where His presence is your constant companion.

Do not delay, for the time is short. The Lord is near, and He calls you to return to the Lord with all your heart. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6). He is faithful and just to forgive you, to cleanse you from all unrighteousness, and to fill you with His Spirit.

Beloved, this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). If you walk in the light, as He is in the light, you will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies you from all sin (1 John 1:7). Return to the Lord, and He will make all things new.

Let your heart be stirred by the presence of God, for the seraphim and cherubim encircle His throne, crying out day and night, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8). Allow the coals of heaven to touch your lips and purify your words. Let the fire of God rest upon your heart and ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched. The Lord is calling you into His holy presence, where the angels declare His glory and where His Spirit fills you with life and light.

Let this be the cry of your heart: “Lord, I need You more today than I did yesterday. I am desperate, I am hungry, and I long for the real Jesus. Come, Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, fill me with Your fire, and let Your glory rest upon me.” Amen.

Visions

Return to the Dance

I beheld a great and terrible scene upon the earth, and it was as though the heavens themselves trembled. I stood upon a high mountain, and before me stretched the land, dry and parched, longing for the rain of righteousness. The people were gathered in a multitude, their faces marked by confusion and doubt, torn between the ways of the world and the path of the Almighty.

And behold, there came a prophet, Elijah, clad in rough garments of hair, his eyes burning with the fervor of the Lord. He stood tall upon the heights of the mountain, and his voice thundered like the roar of many waters, calling out to the assembly, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him” (1 Kings 18:21, AMP).

The Hebrew word pasach illuminates the depth of Elijah’s question. It signifies a hesitant movement, like hopping back and forth, unable to commit. This same word is also used in the account of the Passover (Exodus 12:13, 23, 27), where God “passed over” the homes of His covenant people, sparing them from death. Elijah’s challenge carried this dual imagery: God’s people were meant to dance in joyful covenant with Him, but instead, they limped in indecision, torn between God and Baal. The Complete Jewish Bible renders the verse, “How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions?” Elijah confronted not only their idolatry but also their hesitation to fully commit to God.

The people stood silent, the wind whispering through the dry leaves, carrying the weight of their indecision. Creation seemed to hold its breath. Elijah then spoke to the prophets of Baal, four hundred and fifty in number: “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many. Call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it” (1 Kings 18:25, AMP).

The prophets of Baal leapt and danced around their altar, crying out, “O Baal, answer us!” But their dance of worship turned into a limp of futility. As they cut themselves, their blood gushing, Baal demanded pain but offered no answer. Their frantic efforts bore no fruit, and the heavens remained silent.

Elijah then rebuilt the altar of the Lord, repairing what had been broken. He used twelve stones, representing the tribes of Israel, to signify the covenant relationship between God and His people. The altar was drenched with water, emphasizing the impossible nature of what was about to occur. Then Elijah prayed, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel, and that I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word” (1 Kings 18:36, AMP).

Fire fell from heaven, consuming the offering, the wood, the stones, and even the water in the trench. The flames roared like the voice of God, bright as the midday sun. The people fell on their faces, crying out, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39, AMP).

The Call to Return

This ancient confrontation mirrors the spiritual state of today. Like Israel, many have hesitated between the covenant dance of God and the destructive limp of the world. America, once protected and prospered by the blessings of covenant with God, has traded partners. The nation dances to the tune of modern idols, limping under the weight of spiritual compromise.

But God’s message remains: “Return to Me with all your heart. Cast away your idols and the false gods you have followed. Choose this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15, AMP). His call is urgent, His invitation clear. The choice is between the dance of Passover, symbolizing freedom, life, and covenant, or the limp of idolatry, marked by bondage, pain, and death.

Let us cry out as David did: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, AMP). May our repentance lead us back to the altar, where God’s fire refines, restores, and revives.

A Prayer for Renewal

Father, we confess our hesitation and our turning away from You. Forgive us for dancing with idols when we should have been walking in covenant with You. We repent for allowing the distractions and deceptions of this world to pull us from Your presence.

Restore our hearts, O Lord, and lead us back to the joyful dance of Your covenant. Pour out the rain of righteousness on our dry and weary land. Let the fire of Your Spirit consume the altars of false worship and revive us in Your truth. May we, like Elijah, boldly proclaim, “The Lord, He is God!” and lead others to return to You.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb. Amen.

Let the rain of righteousness fall, and let the limp of idolatry be healed! The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!
