O, God,
our help in the ages past,
and hope
for years to come,
receive our thanks for the witness of
the Holy Scripture.
Your promise is true.
The gates of hell shall not
prevail against your church.
You are the faithful God who
has preserved your people through persecution, war, fire,
famine, and death.
True to the prophecy the dark ages have passed and
Reformation has come.
Grant, dear Lord, the perpetuation
of the Reformation until your return.
The gospel day is far spent.
Awaken the church, we
pray, to the sound of the trumpet for the final conquest.
All hell is let loose and Satan's powers are uniting forces
attacking true Christianity.
Atheism, paganism,
materialism, humanism, persecution, fear, confusion, and
apathy are prevalent everywhere.
Our souls cry, O Lord,
revive the fervor of true
Reformation,
unite the army of Christians,
and lead us
on the offensive against all evil forces.
Equip us with the helmets of salvation,
breastplates of
righteousness
and arm us with truth.
Let us march forward with peace toward God and man
but
at war with sin and Satan.
Grant us skill with the sword of the Spirit and shield of
faith.
Clothe us with armor for battle lest we be found
naked
and the enemy see our shame.
You are the God who calls the battle.
You are our
Commander at this our Armageddon.
Help us make the Reformation alive and continue the
proclamation of truth until the God of Elijah brings judgment
fire to destroy all evil.
In the Name of the mighty Conqueror,
Amen.
