I wrote the following poem on February 4th, 1998 as I was preparing to speak to the Victory World Missions Training Center (VWMTC) students. I changed some of the original words as they applied only to the students at that time.
Nation Shakers
God is raising up an army and calling them out.
They are equipted for battle and ready to shout!
They possess a revelation void of all doubt and fear,
For they know Jehovah Nissi, their victory is here.
All things are possible, for in Him they believe.
They hear His voice and they are not deceived.
Walking in the Word, they fulfill not carnal desire,
For they are full of His Spirit and consumed by His fire!
They joy of the Lord is their strength in this hour.
It's the Spirit of God! not their might nor their power.
Redeemed by the Blood and commissioned to tell
Compelled by His love, they are plundering hell
God has given them the land as they march to take hold.
Clothed with His armor they are incredibly bold.
They cannot be defeated and certainly will not fail,
For they fight relentlessly and let His truth prevail.
There's no mountain too high or valley so low
that these mighty graduates are not willing to go.
So watch and pray as this army marches to win.
Lost souls without Jesus are coming in!
Mark G. Fritts 1998
In 1989 I received the call of God to missions. A few years later in 1994 I was going though a very difficult time in my life. I struggled with the question, Why am I a missionary? God gave me this poem as my answer. Today the missionary call is a settled issue with me
The Missionaries Answer
King Jesus is coming, the time is at hand
Sure signs of His arrival are all through the land
The trumpet is at His lips and ready to sound
Only the redeemed will be leaving the ground
With darkness increasing and gross sin all around
God said it was then that hi grace would abound
Oh Lord of the harvest send forth laborers right now,
With the light of the Gospel and that Holy Ghost plow.
The hour is so late both you and I know
Filled with His Spirit we have the power to go
Send us to proclaim while we still have today
To those who will listen, Jesus is the only way
Mighty signs will follow just as it says in Your Word
Salvation and healing for all who believe what they've heard.
Demons can't stop us for we have already won
We cast them out in the name of God's Son
Eternity will reflect the decisions we have made
The cross we have carried and the price we have paid
But oh what great joy up in heaven to bring
Those who've received life to our Savior and King!
How do I know that He has called me to go?
There was a time when I too was lost
I didn't know about Jesus and the cross
I am forever grateful he sent someone to tell me
That's the reason why I'm a mission-ar-y!
Mark G. Fritts 1994
God IS my source
