Followers of Jesus have often read The Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:23 and have been challenged to “go.” But, mostly we sit at our own banquet rather than God’s. We “go” elsewhere. Maybe we “go” to the couch, refrigerator, TV, restaurant, work or maybe the air-conditioned church. Then, we might even read on in our Bibles while the word “go” still echoes in our minds.
Evangelist Geneva Morris, her husband, Jamie and her sister, Prophetess Reverend Adrena Blackshear, have stood up at this word “go,” and on Saturday, July 8 , for the seventh year, they took the call “go” to the streets of Greenville. In a vision from the Lord many years ago, Geneva was called to celebrate her birthday with a “march for Jesus.” She obeyed and began proclaiming, with others, in one united voice, the Mighty God of Love throughout Greenville.
Since the day this mighty God demonstrated His Love for Geneva, she has daily prayed for her town and annually marches through the streets. The march is a demonstration of the love she received. This love that Jesus gave Geneva, and the others that march, is visible. Psalms 68:24 reads, “a procession of our God and King”...singers in front, musicians behind, women playing tambourines...all shouting and singing “Praise God all you people, praise the Lord, the source of your Life.”
Through 100-degree weather, they marched around the town of Greenville. Uniquely marking this year's march was the announcement of a light in the great darkness of these times, a fresh outpouring of the Spirit on these parched lands and a turning from sin and lies to life and truth. As the disciples marched through the town, the theme of “what a mighty God we serve” echoed .
The sound of their marching seemed to awaken the slumbering and the slothful into life. For just as Geneva first awakened from her dark life by the Mighty Love of God, so the prayer after the march was that all of Madison County may do the same. Geneva is confident after the march that Jesus is still marching on with His mighty love for all who dwell within every highway and hedge in the county and beyond. So that next year, on July 6, more will “go” at the sound of the word of Luke 14:23 and feast at His banquet.
Geneva hopes to hold a revival in Greenville in August and will appreciate any support towards this call to “go.”
