Let it be love

Written by Regina Jones

We've been on 4 continents as of late. Running hard after Jesus and loving on all whom He's placed in our paths.

We have been on several bases in the past couple of months releasing fresh oil over the leaders and encouraging them in the marvelous wonders of Jesus.

Jesus is ever present and near to the brokenhearted. There has been an explosion in our spirits to write, speak, sing, shout the freedom and truth that only comes by love.

Below is a powerful dissertation that has overflowed from our spirits. May it encourage all of you.

LET IT BE LOVE
How do I begin this dissertation?
Do I dare strike a cord of dissonance in this nation,
To hopefully bring a resounding resonance of truth?

I’m not worried about being relevant because I believe that it’s evident-
That. Doesn’t. Work.

At its essence, common sense recognizes
WE ALL BLEED RED.
Yes, we all bleed red.

So, let’s erase the hate.
He who bled red,
JESUS said,
‘They will know us by our love’.

What is the enemy after? The Image.
He wants to destroy the image of God.

There is a line of scrimmage in the sand,
And It demands a stance!

Let it be LOVE.


Revelation without application
Is an abomination to the human race.
You see, if we as believers of Jesus don’t respond accurately
To the situation that surrounds us, see,
Then we miss an opportunity to seize with authentic love.

What is the problem actually?
Factually, we know there is racism.
We can’t deny it or try to hide it;
Side step out of it
It’s all practically cannibalism
We are eating our own species,
But thats not all there is
You see,
The facts remain;
Apartheid, fascism, socialism, rightism aren’t hiding but hidden plain.
There is still segregation, discrimination,
Racial stratification, body’s burning,
Sex traffickin’,
Child soldiers being given machine guns: taught to hate and point by the evil perverter;
The enemy.

Who is the enemy?
We come up with different titles,
Names, identities,
But these are all scabs of a deeper infective
With the goal to leave us stone cold in a rocky tomb for eternity.
That’s the enemy’s directive.

Still, our enemy is not people, see.
It’s evil!
It creeps in different names, and horrific games, yet at the end
It’s still the same root... evil!

Villainous, iniquitous,
Exceeding immoral
and malevolent
Now excuse my vent.

Racial cleansing is not ending by more programs, politics, religiosity.
It’s an atrocity to think these have the ability to defeat this enemy!
We, you and me, who are characterized by the Name of Jesus have to look higher.
Not through fractured lens, hoping for some dividend.

Lens offering a perverted view and end,
But we have to ascend… higher.
Higher perspective. Higher directive.
This and only this will be effective.

At its essence, common sense recognizes
WE ALL BLEED RED.
Yes, we all bleed red.

So, let’s erase the hate.
He who bled red,
JESUS said,
‘They will know us by our love’.

What is the enemy after? The Image.
He wants to destroy the image of God.

There is a line of scrimmage in the sand,
And It demands a stance!

Let it be LOVE.


Men with faulty notions, stand pointing machine guns into oceans… of people
The very spirit of murder flying its flag to eradicate the image.

Will fallacy remain on display? When will truth liberate?
See, faulty reasoning lies in wait.
This evil is possessing the nations ... yes that’s it ... the enemy of our souls is after the image ...
But this visible impression
Is NOT at his discretion.

Away with ambiguities let’s dig a bit. Discredit it.
‘cause you have an advocate!
Move the earth under your boot,
Dig until you hit gold that divulges the root.
Every human being was created, fashioned, and molded in the image of God
Who. Is. Love.

At the ROOT of it all
It’s not about black or white,
The color or contour of your skin,
It all ends and begins IN you,
Who were created in image of God,
Wired for sound,
The sound of Heaven.
Created to know love, and be loved by your creator!

Your interior is not inferior on the contrary.
It’s a myriad of mysteries purely intimidating the ugliest of beasts.
Now dawn your specs and get it correct.
We have to change our lens.
If we want to begin ... to find a viable means to an end.
It seems everybody’s trippin’ ... flippin’ ...
And we keep slippin’ ... over the stumbling block
As the clock tic tocks away
While we’re stuck on bandaids,
This trauma’s bleedin’ out.
The answer is slippin’,
There’s a better way
No doubt.

At its essence, common sense recognizes
WE ALL BLEED RED.
Yes, we all bleed red.

So, let’s erase the hate.
He who bled red,
JESUS said,
‘They will know us by our love’.

What is the enemy after? The Image.
He wants to destroy the image of God.

There is a line of scrimmage in the sand,
And It demands a stance!

Let it be LOVE.

There is an echo resounding from eternity
Beckoning you and me to fix our eyes towards the sky
It’s the Fruit of the spirit can’t you hear it
That should be our response
That should be our manifesto
It’s not just another choice
It’s not just rules to live by
It is the explicit manifestation and the legit revelation
That we are not of the world!

At its essence, common sense recognizes
WE ALL BLEED RED.
Yes, we all bleed red.

So, let’s erase the hate.
He who bled red,
JESUS said,
‘They will know us by our love’.

What is the enemy after? The Image.
He wants to destroy the image of God.

There is a line of scrimmage in the sand,
And It demands a stance!

Let it be LOVE.
