Where are the Dread Champions?

By John E. Thomas

Where are the dread champions You promised Your church? The crazy, no hold’s barred, no risk too great, no prize too small, if You say it I will do it champions that challenge the masses with zeal too bright to contain, passion too great to fit into the boxes and walls of churches built with small minded dreams and not fortresses of kingdom expansion? Where are the ones that will give it all and not count the cost as anything lost? Where are the ones that will command demons to flee, call hearts to life, heal the sick and free the chained? That run into darkness because they heard the cry of the lost, that don’t back down from a fight because their friends didn’t show but will give it all even if they follow You alone? Where are the dread champions? Where are the dread champions that will face down Jezebel’s wrath and ride the chariot of Your presence with reckless abandon? Where are the ones that refuse to back down when Herod takes heads and the political spirit tries to muzzle truth? Where are the ones that will rise with faith in their hearts and love in their heads, busting through the resistance, breakers and shakers, prophets and preachers, evangelists and singers, that have lost sight of uthe world and only see You? Blind to the world, eunuchs to its allures, deaf to it’s sound, numb to its false pleasures. The doers of deeds, the workers of wonders, the miracle releasers, the history writers, the nation shakers, the answer of Your heart? Where are the dread champions? It is time they arise.
