Founder's Reflections #22: Hallelujah – A Song of Triumph and Transformation

Jesus24365 Weekly #9

Jesus24365 Ministry | Friday, December 20, 2024

Dear Beloved Jesus24365 Ministry Family,

Welcome to this week’s reflection, whether you are a devoted believer walking faithfully with Christ or a thoughtful seeker exploring the beauty of faith. Your presence here is a blessing, and I’m so grateful for this opportunity to share with you. Together, we’re building a community rooted in Christ, shining His light in a world that desperately needs hope.

As Christmas draws near, one word has been on my heart: Hallelujah. It’s not just a word of worship; it’s a declaration of trust, triumph, and joy in the Lord. Hallelujah has carried me through times of uncertainty and celebration, and it has become a cornerstone of the vision God has placed on my heart for Jesus24365 Ministry. It speaks to the ultimate victory we have in Christ and the call to live boldly in His promises.

In this reflection, we’ll explore Hallelujah in Revelation 19, learn from Pastor James’ profound teaching, and reflect on how this powerful word fuels the mission of Jesus24365. My prayer is that this message will inspire you to embrace Hallelujah in your own life—as a daily anthem of faith, a lens through which you see God’s work, and a call to share His love with the world.

Haiku: Hallelujah Rises

Praise that never fades,

Through the trials, joy still flows—

God’s triumph prevails.

The Depth of Hallelujah: Insights from Pastor James

Hallelujah appears uniquely in Revelation 19, echoing through heaven as a symphony of praise. Pastor James explains that this word, drawn from the Hebrew Hallel (to praise) and Yah (God), is more than an exclamation—it’s a declaration of God’s sovereignty, justice, and ultimate victory. It’s a word that calls us to stand in awe of His power and faithfulness.

In Revelation, Hallelujah is spoken four times in celebration of key moments: the judgment of Babylon the Great, the reign of our Lord, and the marriage supper of the Lamb. These Hallelujahs remind us that God’s justice is true, His power is eternal, and His love endures forever. They proclaim the triumph of good over evil and invite all of heaven to rejoice in God’s plan.

Pastor James challenges us to let Hallelujah shape not only our worship but also our daily lives. How can we lift a Hallelujah in the face of uncertainty or fear? How can we let this word remind us of God’s presence, even in the hardest seasons? Take a moment to reflect as you listen to his teaching, embedded below.

What Hallelujah Means for Jesus24365 Ministry in 2025

Hallelujah is the heartbeat of Jesus24365 Ministry. It’s the foundation of our mission to Spread the Good News, Grow God’s Kingdom, and Serve the Needy and Poor. As we look to 2025, this word inspires bold vision and faithful action, reminding us that everything we do is for God’s glory.

In the coming year, I envision expanding Jesus24365’s reach—touching more lives with the message of salvation, building deeper connections with our community, and creating opportunities to serve those in need. Imagine families receiving hope through our ministry during their most challenging seasons, believers finding strength in daily reflections, and communities coming together to celebrate the light of Christ.

Every Hallelujah moment, whether big or small, strengthens my faith in what God is doing through this ministry. It reminds me that this work is not mine but His. Together, let’s embrace this mission with joyful purpose, trusting that our Hallelujahs echo in heaven as we grow in faith and share His love with the world.

Raise a Hallelujah: A Song of Triumph

The song "Raise a Hallelujah" by Bethel Music is a powerful reminder that Hallelujah is not just for moments of victory—it’s also for times of trial. Written during a season of deep uncertainty, this worship anthem invites us to lift our voices louder than fear, despair, or doubt, declaring God’s goodness even when the path ahead feels unclear.

This song resonates deeply with the heart of Jesus24365 Ministry. Just as the Hallelujahs in Revelation 19 proclaim God’s triumph over evil, "Raise a Hallelujah" calls us to declare His greatness in every season. Let it inspire you this week to lift your own Hallelujah, trusting that God’s light will shine through whatever challenges you face.

What's Coming Next

This Christmas season, we have two special offerings to inspire your heart and deepen your faith:

• Art of Grace #4 (Sunday): Celebrate the radiant light of Christ through Luke 2:11 and the cherished tradition of Nine Lessons and Carols, inspired by my first Christmas at St. Marcus Lutheran Church. Together, we’ll reflect on the story of salvation and the beauty of Christ’s birth.

• Spiritual Nourishment #4 (Wednesday): On Christmas Day, we’ll connect the powerful words of Luke 2:11 with four Psalms that illuminate the joy of the Savior’s birth. To complement this reflection, we’ll feature a song that captures the hope and wonder of the Advent season.
