“I am a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Clear the way for the Lord’s coming!’” John the Baptist

 John has long since passed away, taken from jail and beheaded

But the cry still stands, who shall point to the risen Christ

There are still people living in a barren wilderness

Tell me who shall speak to them.

And behold He shall make you fishers of men

Who shall pull them from an ocean and sea full of sharks and wolves

'Hear I am send me', comes the cry

Shall you take up the mantle of John and call out to the lost in the wilderness

He the immortal, invisible God only wise has come among you

When you secure the lost from death and the grave

Indeed, is God calling you to speak to sharks and wolves and alter their makeup

Only the wonder working power of the Alimighty God can change a shark to a lion or a wolf to a lamb

Yet do you hear the call of God upon your life

It's a tough challenge I know, but God came so that you can know His power working within you

Both the shark and the wolf live among you

You know them by their deeds and their fruit.

Tell me who shall speak to them. No, indeed it is the powerful working of the deeds of God that shall speak to them not fine words or arguments

God is about to move among you

He shall bring mighty acts and deeds such that niether the shark nor the wolf will be able to deny the awesome power of the living God

And they will turn from their ways and worship the one true living God.

The shark shall become like a lion


and the wolf like a lamb

Niether shall devour the other, for they shall lay down in the hay together

Amen
