Suddenly! August 12

Anyone a fan of wrestling?

I have seen this storyline play out time and time again. The heel (who portrays the villain) is clearly winning the fight. The babyface (the heroic good guy) is losing and losing badly. Bloodied, beaten-up and sprawled out on the floor, the fan favorite is clutching his sides in pain. The villain just smashes his force into the pathetic-looking hero, grabbing the limp man and dropping the hero head-first on the mat, then aggressively kicking him until the good guy falls off the mat, laying prostrate on the concrete floor. The villain is smiling as the audience boo’s him. The heel gets up on the turnbuckle about to, once and for all, finish this fight and the hero is hopeless….ultimately down for the count.

This sets the stage for a Suddenly! moment! Sometimes, the stage lights will flicker. Other times, music will blare from the speakers. But it's clear…something is happening. And Suddenly!, a secondary babyface – a friend of the injured – a hero to the hero - sprints out from the back and powerbombs the heel. The villain didn’t see it coming. The bad guy was claiming victory, securing his win, but it was a Suddenly! intervention that aggressively shifted the results.

The crowd is on their feet. The announcers cannot believe what is happening. The villain is down and all his endeavors destroyed in one swoop. The cheers are crying out. The Redeemer picks up the Injured hero and lifts him up, holds him up, elevates him up to claim the victory.

And this message rings loud and clear. The good side will win. Help is on the way. The Redeemer is coming quickly to rescue you. And though you may be down and out, scarred and bruised, battered and shaken, there is more on your side than against you. And your Suddenly! moment is near.

Let's remember, our Savior saves! And his angelic army is for you. And whenever you take life's punches and literally cannot get back up, here comes the Lord with a divine mission, with a battle cry, attacking your enemies until they are all down, all finished… until the final bell has sounded. Because no one messes with Heaven!

If you need prayer for anything, let me know, I would love to pray for you!
