“In ancient times, when an army was hard pressed and in danger of defeat, the standard bearer was instructed by the commander in chief to find a piece of elevated ground, stand there and lift up the standard. When the soldiers in that army, looking around, saw the uplifted standard, it was a sign to them that they were to gather and regroup around the base of the standard. This is what has been happening in recent decades in the Church. As believers are praying, the Holy Spirit has begun to uplift the standard, Jesus Christ. From every section of the Church God’s hard-pressed people, in danger of being overrun, scattered and finally defeated, have raised their voices in prayer, turned around and seen an uplifted standard. This is not a denomination, not a church, but the Lord Jesus Christ.”
