Summary

Brother Sparks emphasizes the significance of the phrase "the arm of the Lord" from Isaiah 53:1, which symbolizes God's strength and support. Throughout scripture, instances of God's intervention, such as the deliverance of Israel from Egypt and Babylon, illustrate the revealing of His power. These events highlight a pattern: world powers rising against God, a dishonoring spiritual state among His people, and a cry for intervention from within. Today, Brother Sparks observes similar conditions, with world powers challenging God and a troubling state within Christianity that contradicts His purpose. He calls for a renewed cry for God's intervention, stressing the importance of seeking His strength both individually and collectively. He notes that the need for God's arm to be revealed is urgent, especially in light of the spiritual iniquity and dishonor present in the world and among Christians. Brother Sparks encourages believers to raise their voices in prayer, echoing the cries of biblical figures like Moses and Daniel, to invoke God's power and presence in these challenging times. He concludes by urging the church to recognize the necessity of a heartfelt cry to God for His arm to be revealed once more.
