Join the Echelon

Sometimes I feel like if my walk with God were a piece of art, it wouldn't be a portrait, nor would it be a sculpture. It would lack specificity. It would probably be a mosaic. A combination of feelings, desires, aspirations, pitfalls, and ultimately epic-scale eternal triumph. Lately as I've been praying for my campus and about personal future mission work, I've been spiritually restless. How can I sum up my feelings?

Maybe I can best sum it up in a song. Pillar's "Echelon" oozes the energy I feel when I read Revelation 19 and think of the army of God in these last days. The warfare I feel is so intense...You know it's time for us to step it up
Another level now 'cause we finished warming up
So we rise up elevate to maintain fill up with octane
And fan the flame we regain all the names
The enemy took away
And like a green beret we will lead the way
Into battle so have no fear we will draw near
So that we can persevere like a gondolier
We headed straight to the top nonstop
Set shop at the top of the Rock
You'll feel the aftershock after we rock the spot
Cause you forgot these soldiers won't turn and walk
We take hard knocks come back for more
Cause we're hardcore we fight for the One who died for (you)
And like Saigon we're on the frontlines
And we carry on to the end times

Chorus

Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon
With our armor on, stay strong we drive on (drive on)
Our echelon pressin' on 'til we reach the top
And you know we don't stop (our echelon)
Now that it's on

We're on the enemy's hit list
I'm hopin' you get this
You're takin' a risk when you resist the one who made you exist
Evolutionists we got love for you too but we're breakin' down
Walls seeking out the truth
I'm a soldier in this army of One
Like I told ya the battle's already won
So about face move outta the way I gotta pray for you
And this is how we do

Check this out Chi Alpha Missions Video played at a conference I went to. Basically, our generation was challenged to deny self and take up the cause of preaching the gospel to the unreached and ushering in Christ's return. Interestingly, the video uses bits from the song "Echelon." I Peter 5:8 "Be sober be vigilant," for we're "on the enemy's hit list..."
