Theme Song: New Divide by Linkin Park
Team Prime, Skybreak, and Megatron continued to walk along the dark underground passageways, searching for Unicron the Chaos Bringer. They all paused however as Megatron inhaled sharply and grasped his helm with a clawed servo, his purple optics clouded over. His chassis heaved with pain as he fell to his knees. His facial plating contorted in agony as he seemed to struggle with an unseen enemy.
As soon as the episode began however, it ended. The leader of the Decepticons returned to normal and righted himself. "Unicron is getting stronger," he declared before moving ahead.
Once he was a yard or so away from them, Arcee turned to Optimus. "How do we know that Unicron isn't using him to lead us all into a trap?"
"We do not," Optimus said solemnly.
"More than sixty volcanoes are erupting worldwide and Honolulu is covered with six inches of snow. Scientists are continuing to devise theories connecting these unprecedented natural disasters with a planetary alignment which-" the television news reporter stated before the transmission was cut off.
"So... who wants to play a game?" June asked, trying to lighten up the melancholic atmosphere pervading the base.
"That tears it," Agent Fowler muttered as he left the platform.
Jack's mother turned to the government agent. "Where are you going?"
"I'm not about to sit on my hands and watch as the world is spinning out of control!"
"And what exactly is it that you intend to do?" Ratchet questioned.
"Anything! Hook up with my boys at the Pentagon. Bury that monster for good!"
"In the event that Optimus can't?"
"Don't you mean Optimus and Megatron?" Agent Fowler countered.
Ratchet vented sharply. "No one here is thrilled about this arrangement, Agent Fowler, myself included. But with Optimus and Megatron together again-"
"Whoa," Jack interrupted. "Wait. Again?"
"Megatron was an Autobot?" Raf asked curiously.
"Optimus was a 'Con?!" Miko added.
"No, on either account. But, there was a time on Cybertron, back in the twilight of the Golden Age, when Optimus and Megatron were not sworn enemies. Do you recall when I mentioned that Optimus wasn't always a Prime? Well... he wasn't always Optimus either. He was once a clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records named Orion Pax."
Darkstorm quietly listened in on Ratchet's story, though she dreaded hearing the end of it. She knew what happened all too well. The beginning of the war. The beginning of so much destruction and death... all because of one selfish power-hungry mech.
"But as he learned more about Cybertron's past, he grew increasingly concerned with the present corruption in high places and inequality among the masses. Orion became inspired by the words and ideas of a gladiator, one who named himself after one of the thirteen original Primes-"
"Megatronus," Darkstorm whispered, terrible memories of her brother too becoming enraptured by his words and ideas running rampant through her mind.
Ratchet's facial plating creased in concern. "Darkstorm, if this is too difficult-"
"No, please. Continue, Ratchet. Our human friends deserve to know," Darkstorm insisted. She smiled softly as she felt Raf's tiny hand clutch one of her digits reassuringly.
Ratchet nodded and continued. "He vowed to challenge Cybertron's leaders and demanded that all Cybertronians be treated as equals. This gladiator-turned-revolutionary quickly gained many followers, Soundwave chief among them. Orion started corresponding with Megatronus who had become somewhat of a mentor to him. As Megatronus left the gladiatorial circles for the political, he saw fit to shorten his name. Before long, Megatron appeared before the High Council to propose his vision for a just society. It was here that he began to reveal his true colors. He wanted to overthrow the old Elite Guard by force and arrogantly demanded to be named the next Prime. But Orion did not believe in violence as a means of achieving justice. The sparks and minds of the Council were moved by Orion's words and for the first time since Cybertron's Golden Age, there stood someone worthy to be a Prime. That honor however could only be achieved by earning the legendary Matrix of Leadership.
"His ambitions thwarted, Megatron spitefully severed all ties with Orion and the Council and came to wage war on all those who opposed him with his growing army of followers which he named Decepticons. He vowed to claim the Matrix for himself wherever it might lie. In time, warfare consumed Cybertron, poisoning the planet to its core. Orion journeyed there, hoping to reverse the ill effects, and was met with Primus. An ailing Primus gifted Orion with the Matrix. It was then that a surprised and humble Orion Pax became Optimus, the last of the Primes."
"So what's to stop Megatron from claiming the Matrix this time around?" Jack wondered.
"Only his desire for this planet to be restored only so he can conquer it, as he so compellingly argued. Providing that the Lord of the Decepticons can ever be fully trusted," Ratchet replied.
"Unicron is near," Megatron announced.
Skybreak continued to follow his former leader and the Autobots before he noticed the green Wrecker falter. He groaned in pain and clutched his helm in his servos.
"Bulkhead? Are you alright?" Bumblebee asked, concerned.
"I'm fine. I just feel a bit woozy," he answered.
"It's the Dark Energon. It's starting to affect him," Arcee explained as she helped Bumblebee support him. "Steady as you go, Bulk."
A dangerous growling could then be heard, reverberating across the large cavern. "He is preparing to exterminate us," Megatron said solemnly. Several more twisted stone golems could then be seen approaching the team.
Skybreak immediately drew his weapons and began firing as well as the rest of the team. To their surprise however, the golems fired back. Purple ion blasts peppered the bots as they tried to stand their ground. Arcee yelled as a blast ravaged her shoulder plating. She stumbled backwards but before she could fall to her death, Bumblebee steadied her.
"Thanks, 'Bee," she said with a shaky smile. Bumblebee nodded and continued to fire at the enemy.
Skybreak watched as the Wrecker's optics clouded over due to the Dark Energon poisoning just as a stone golem was about to attack him.
The Seeker inwardly debated what to do before venting frustratedly and shooting the stone golem. Slag it, Sister. You're making me soft.
Bulkhead stared at Skybreak incredulously but decided not to question it. Skybreak rolled his optics and continued to battle, slightly uplifted by the thrill it gave him.
But, as time began to carry on, the bots realized they could not face their enemy. When one golem was destroyed, another one immediately took its place. If they kept this up, then they would surely be overwhelmed and offlined.
"Autobots, fall back!" Optimus ordered as he retreated to a rocky tunnel adjacent to his team. Everyone immediately obeyed Optimus' orders. Megatron was the last one to enter the tunnel. Just as their enemy was about to close in on them, Megatron fired into the rock wall above them, causing a small avalanche of stone to seal the entrance.
Megatron deactivated his fusion cannon and walked ahead of the group.
"Unicron is close and, if you do not wish to meet any more of those, I would suggest we keep moving."
"It seems I have lost the others' communication links and life signals," Ratchet noted, venting.
Darkstorm couldn't help but panic, causing her spark monitor to beep slightly louder. Ratchet immediately noticed and scolded the Seeker femme. "Calm down, Darkstorm. Stress is the last thing you need right now. The interference is most likely caused by the electromagnetic anomalies due to all the recent natural disasters that have been occurring. I am sure they are perfectly functioning."
"Yeah, 'Storm. I'm sure the 'Bots are okay," Miko reassured.
Even though she still feared the worse, Darkstorm willed herself to relax. "Forgive me. I know I should be resting."
"Due to all the chaos around us, I understand. I would find it quite hard to rest, as well," Ratchet said with an understanding smile.
Darkstorm smiled before pausing, catching a glimpse of something in Jack's hand. Perhaps, she was seeing things due to her injuries... but still... "Jack?"
"Yeah?" the teenager asked.
"The object in your hand. Where did you find it?"
Ratchet too turned his attention to the object in question and gasped. "By the Allspark... Could it be?"
"What? This?" Jack replied confusedly, studying the metal key-like relic. "Optimus told me it was the key to the groundbridge's power supply."
"Far from it. What you hold in your hand is the Key to Vector Sigma, a treasured relic from Cybertron's Golden Age."
Jack's face clouded over with shock before he turned back to the key. "Key to Vector Sigma? But why would Optimus give me this?"
Ratchet vented softly and offlined his optics. "Optimus gave the key to you because he did not plan on returning from his encounter with Unicron."
Miner X92874 stood on the hard metal floor of the Decepticon warship, The Nemesis, watching as Airachnid addressed the troops. To tell the truth, it actually made him want to be back at the mine, but due to all the natural disasters that had been happening on the Earth's surface, that wasn't possible. After all, even though they were viewed as disposable drones, someone had to mine energon.
And it wasn't like any of the higher-ups would dare get their servos dirty, he thought bitterly.
"Our Master's previous behavior could be considered... questionable," Airachnid droned on.
"Questionable?" Vehicon 0-7645 snorted. "You're telling me."
"Keep it down," the miner hissed. "Or did you forget that Soundwave is also here?"
The Vehicon trooper glanced at the Decepticon Communications Officer before shivering. "Good point. Mech, he gives me the creeps."
"Are you suggesting that we abandon Lord Megatron?" Knock Out asked. The two mechs immediately brought their attention back to the center of the room.
"Megatron's undetectable signal either implies that he is offline or at the mercy of Unicron, neither of which is beneficial to the Decepticon cause," the spider femme answered. "I suggest that we leave this planet and retreat to Regulon Four."
"Sounds like a good idea to me," Miner V6824 whispered to the others. "I say leave his po' aft here and once we reach Regulon Four, we blow this popsicle stand."
Though Miner X92874 had been considering more and more lately that abandoning the Decepticons would be a good idea, he still had some common sense not to carry out his secret wish. Rogue bots rarely survived, especially if they were servant class like him. Much to his surprise, he had even considered joining the Autobots at one time but... he had heard horror stories in the barracks about miners and Vehicons being terminated even though they carried the figurative white flag.
But... if that was the case, then why had it been on his processor for so long?
Darkstorm didn't offline him. She helped him escape, even treated his wounds. Surely the Autobots couldn't be that bad.
Yeah, the wounds that the Autobot medic gave him, his logic argued. He doubted that he would be welcome there, despite what she told him about the "Autobot Code." He'd been at war far too long to be fooled by that ruse.
He was brought back to reality once more however as Airachnid leapt at Soundwave.
"My money's on Soundwave," Miner V6824 chuckled amusedly.
Soundwave easily dodged all of Airachnid's attacks and he soon lifted the femme up by her neck cables and threw her backwards. The femme hissed dangerously and moved to attack again before Soundwave deployed Laserbeak. The Cassetticon released an electrical charge which momentarily stunned Airachnid. Taking advantage of the femme's immobility, Soundwave placed a pedde on her chassis, silently daring her to get back up and keep fighting. Airachnid glared harshly at the mech but submitted all the same.
"I... relinquish my command."
After the quick battle, it seemed the meeting had ended. Knock Out and Breakdown retreated to the med bay, Airachnid to her quarters, and Soundwave to the computer console where he was so often seen monitoring surveillance footage. The Vehicons and the miners began to file out of the room and went to their respective quarters, the only place they could go it seemed.
Vehicon 0-7645 let out an audible vent of relief once Soundwave was out of sight. "That mech is creepy," he muttered.
"Ya know he can hear ya, right brothah? He got optics all over this warship," Miner V6824 said half-seriously.
"What?! Oh, scrap. I'm dead. I am so dead!" the Vehicon began to panic.
The miner began to laugh. "Easy there, mech. I was just playing with ya."
"After all, why would Soundwave waste time monitoring us?" Miner X92874 vented. "We can't do anything. We'd just get ourselves offlined and... it's not like we're going anywhere."
The Vehicon and the miner shared a look, each of them silently questioning what had gotten into their friend lately.
"Ey... you sure you alright, mech? I mean, you been actin' kinda strange ever since you escaped those Autobots who raided tha' energon mine..." Miner V6824 began.
"Yeah. Did something happen?" Vehicon 0-7645 added.
"No. Nothing happened, I swear. I'm just... a little shaken up because of my injuries. That's all," Miner X92874 answered.
"Come on, mech. Ya can tell us," his fellow miner insisted.
"We've always been there for you in the past, and we'll be here for you now," the Vehicon smiled encouragingly.
Miner X92874 vented before complying. "Fine, fine. I know you two'll just make my life like the pit until I do tell you what happened. Let's just reach our bunk first. I don't want anyone overhearing."
The three bots soon reached the miner's group quarters. Some miners gave the Vehicon odd looks but none of them thought too hard about it. Friendships between the two classes weren't entirely uncommon.
Once Miner X92874 was sure that no one was listening in, he vented and began to explain to his two friends what had happened. "Alright. You remember I told you that I barely escaped the Autobots online? Well, it was the truth. An Autobot medic attacked me and... well, I am sure you know the rest." The miner placed a servo over his scarred facial plating, absent-minded.
"Next time I see that bot in combat, I won't be so kind," Vehicon 0-7645 hissed.
Miner X92874 glared at his friend though the Vehicon could tell from his optics that he appreciated the gesture. "Oh, shut up. You know as well as I do that you'd be terminated before you even got close to him. Cannon fodder. That's all Vehicons are in their optics."
"Well, one day I'll prove 'em wrong. Breakdown said I'm getting better-"
"Wait. Breakdown actually talked to ya?" Miner V6824 asked incredulously.
The Vehicon rubbed the back of his helm sheepishly. "Well... yeah. I caught him in the hallway one cycle and we started talking. He actually isn't half bad. But, enough about me." Vehicon 0-7645 turned to Miner X92874 expectantly.
The miner continued hesitantly. "But before the medic could finish the job, someone of his own faction stopped him. She was harmed trying to protect me... and when their leader, Optimus, came, he scolded the medic, saying that it wasn't the Autobot way to harm unless absolutely necessary."
"Please," Vehicon 0-7645 scoffed.
"That very same femme was the one who patched me up. She made sure I got back to the mine so I could comm for backup and be bridged back here for medical attention."
"So, a femme, huh?" Miner V6824 grinned. "Details, mech. Let's hear about her."
"The femme was Darkstorm. Remember her? Knock Out's old assistant?" Miner X92874 asked, making sure his voice was low.
"Yeah, I remember her. What a doll," the other miner smiled, "She was one of those rare bots who truly cared, ya know? 'Made me a lot less scared to go in the med bay, that's fo' sure. At least with her, I knew I wouldn't get dissected for spare parts or-"
"Be victim to one of Doc Knock's experiments?" Vehicon 0-7645 finished. "Yup. She had to be one of the best medics we ever had. Though, no offense, she stuck out like a sore digit"
"She certainly wasn't like the other Decepticons, that's for sure... and that wasn't the first time she's saved my tailpipe. Remember when I was dragged in after that big cave-in back on Gilvak?" His two friends nodded their helms. "You both know how past helping I was. I was bound to be victim to one of Knock Out's mercy killings," Miner X92874 said.
"She the one who helped ya then?" Miner V6824 asked softly, "She's the reason why you're all shaken up?"
"I-I guess so. I know it sounds stupid, but I couldn't help but be amazed... to think that someone like her would help someone like me," Miner X92874 paused before adding, "And she actually remembered me... from before. She remembered my designation."
"Well, you said so yourself that she was different," Vehicon 0-7645 shrugged, "The question is though, why have you been acting so different lately?" He grinned. "Is it because you like her?"
Miner X92874 rolled his optics. "Please. Femmes have never truly been on my mind, you know that."
"Come on! You gotta admit, she is a looker."
"Too bad you two never did hit it off," Miner V6824 laughed. "You shoulda seen the look on yo' facial plating when Skybreak picked ya up and threatened to throw ya over the side of the warship. You were scared slagless fo' stellar cycles after."
"But you got your wish," Miner X92874 chuckled. "You did end up talking to her... during an emergency diagnostic. She thought you'd blown some major wiring the way you glitched every time Skybreak would come by."
Vehicon 0-7645 glared at his two friend's laughter. "Ha ha. Very funny."
"Sorry, but ya know we're just messin' with ya," Miner V6824 bumped into the Vehicon's side playfully.
Miner X92874 inwardly vented in relief. Perhaps they have forgotten-
"So, back to the subject. If you're not helm over peddes in love, then why has the whole ordeal been botherin' you lately?" the Vehicon asked.
Scrap.
He vented heavily. "If I tell you... will you promise not to think I've blown a gasket?"
"O' course," Miner V6824 said. The Vehicon nodded solemnly.
"Alright... The reason I've been so out of touch lately is because... well, I've been thinking about deserting and joining the Autobots," Miner X92874 whispered.
"Have you blown a gasket?!" Vehicon 0-7645 yelled.
"Mech, keep your voice down," Miner V6824 hissed.
"Well, pardon me for being concerned for my friend's well-being. But the Autobots?!" the Vehicon carried on but with a quieter tone, trying to get rid of the curious glances of the other miners. "They will shoot you on sight!"
"Well, it's sure a lot better than staying here!" Miner X92874 retorted. "I mean, what are we? We're treated like mindless drones. The Decepticons don't give a scrap to what happens to us. We're no better off than we were on Cybertron."
"And... And you think the Autobots will treat us any different?" Miner V6824 asked.
"Maybe." He vented. "I just don't know anymore. Their leader and Darkstorm seemed to. And, even if they do shoot me on sight, at least I have to try. Anything's better than staying here."
Vehicon 0-7645 and Miner V6824 were silent for a few klicks as they dwelt upon Miner X92874's words. There was no life for them here. Even if Breakdown occasionally spoke to them, nothing could change that. Megatron's word was law here and his words certainly weren't kind to them. They had no hope, no future. Anything, anywhere, had to better than this.
"Well, I'd better go back to my quarters and get some recharge. See you two later," Vehicon 0-7645 said softly.
Later that night, when all the other miners were deep in recharge, Miner X92874 was awakened by the voice of his friend.
"Hey, mech. You online?" Miner V6824 asked.
"For the time being. What's wrong?"
"I was just thinkin'... about what you said," the other miner vented. "And I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, you're right."
The bots were on guard once again as they saw Megatron seized by Unicron. The mech's breathing was labored and his purple optics glowed eerily in the dark tunnel. The pain must have been great for he was rendered to his knees, clutching his helm. But, once more, the episode passed. The leader of the Decepticons shakily righted himself and fought to catch his breath. When he faced the team, a rare emotion was displayed across his facial plating: fear.
"He is here."
The ground began to shake as a large mech, nearly twice the size of Megatron, approached them. His facial plating was distorted with malice and an atmosphere of foreboding surrounded him.
"You brought a Prime here?!" the devilish figure demanded.
"There is-" Megatron attempted to argue.
"Silence!" Unicron thundered. "For this insolence, you shall pay dearly. You all shall pay!" The Chaos Bringer fell back slightly as the team fired upon him before laughing. Their weapons wouldn't harm him. They were a simple nuisance, nothing more.
Bulkhead was thrown backwards with the blast of a purple ion cannon when he tried to get close to the Chaos Bringer. The mech groaned in pain and slumped downwards, momentarily out for the count. Skybreak transformed and fired at Unicron before his wing was grasped. The Seeker screamed in pain before he too was thrown aside, his left wing bent awkwardly.
The Autobots, Skybreak, and Megatron were getting nowhere fast. Their energy was quickly dwindling and they had already sustained serious injuries whilst Unicron stood there as if nothing had ever happened. Something had to be done.
"Bumblebee, Arcee, can you provide us with cover fire?" Optimus asked.
Arcee limped over, one of her leg joints having been crushed, and nodded. Bumblebee had major trauma to his spinal plating but he too agreed. They came there fully knowing what might happen and they were willing to stand by their leader, come whatever may.
Bumblebee and Arcee began firing at Unicron's helm, drawing his attention away from Megatron and Optimus. Arcee winced as a blast from one of Unicron's ion cannons caught her shoulder but still, she fought on. Bumblebee, seeing her extensive damage, pulled her behind him and guided them both behind a rock formation. They were still firing at the enemy when Megatron and Optimus moved forward with their plan.
Taking advantage of Unicron's distraction, Megatron and Optimus moved closer to the Chaos Bringer. The time had come to end this, once and for all. The humans would be safe, that much Optimus would ensure. Megatron fired at Unicron as Optimus gently unlatched his chassis, revealing the glowing Matrix of Leadership inside him.
Unicron's optics narrowed and he bared his razor sharp dentals in a feral growl. "Today, you shall join your brothers, Prime. The ground shall be stained with your energon!"
"Not today," Optimus said before a burst of blue light made its way into Unicron's own chassis.
"No!" Unicron screamed but, it was too late. His optics had already begun to grow dim. With a loud crash, Unicron fell backwards, seemingly lifeless. Team Prime watched on helplessly as their leader collapsed. His energy had all but been spent on sending Unicron back into stasis.
Megatron approached Optimus, his optics studying him like prey. He drew his sword and was about to end his arch-nemesis' life... but something stopped him.
Optimus glanced up at the leader of the Decepticons wearily, though his optics held no signs that they were enemies. "M-Megatronus?" he asked softly. "Where... Where are we?"
Megatron was taken aback, staring at Optimus in disbelief. It was if he remembered nothing.
He silently debated on what to do before he retracted his weapon and held out a servo to steady the Prime. "Don't you remember, old friend?"
The other Autobots walked over and stared at their leader questioningly. "Optimus-?" Arcee asked. All she was met with was a blank gaze.
A groundbridge soon appeared behind the Decepticon leader, most likely provided by Soundwave. "Quick, Orion. They are our enemies. We must fall back to base before they offline the both of us. I shall provide cover fire." The Autobots retreated as Megatron fired. "Hurry!"
Optimus turned around, only to be met with Bumblebee's saddened gaze. "Optimus. . . no." But, in the end, Optimus obeyed Megatron's command. He exited through the groundbridge along with Megatron, leaving behind a devastated Team Prime.
When they returned to base, Darkstorm got up to greet them despite the pain, though she was monitored by Ratchet the entire time. She embraced Bumblebee and her brother and they returned it as gently as they could. The humans ran over to greet their guardians as well, rejoicing as they saw they were alive and well.
"Oh, I was so worried. I thought that the two of you were offline," Darkstorm said as Ratchet supported her. The medic then guided her back to her medical berth.
"It takes a lot more than that to kill me, Sister. You should know that," Skybreak smirked.
Darkstorm's bright demeanor faltered however as she beheld her teammate's damage. They all looked battered and weathered. She frowned slightly as she saw her brother's bent wing.
"Ratchet, can I at least-?"
"Upupup! You're lucky that I let you out of the med bay for that long. You are still recovering from your injuries and are certainly in no shape to be treating others. I have taken care of them long before you have. I think I can handle this by myself," Ratchet said.
Darkstorm vented but complied all the same. It was then that Ratchet and she began to notice that their leader was not among those who had returned.
"Where's Optimus?" Darkstorm asked softly, inwardly fearing the worse.
The others exchanged a sad look, almost unable to formulate the right words.
"He's gone," Arcee at last whispered.
A/N: Dun Dun Dun! There's the finale! :) I really do hope y'all liked it. But don't be sad about this story being over. Blondie-moyashi and I already have several sequels written so make sure to check those out! And our blog on Tumblr, too. We have everything from lovely fan art to the opportunity to ask our OCs and Transformers canon characters any question you desire. Just go to ask- dreamy- and- blondie. tumblr. com (remove the spaces) and we'd love to see you there!
I'd like to thank everyone for their support as this story has come this far. I love all of you! Thank you so much!
Also, if you could pray for my sister and my father, I'd be much obliged. My sister might have surgery on her jaw soon and she's terrified and my father is still in a lot of pain and he worries, especially with our pending court case about his disability money.
To Windcharger: Thank you for giving me your phone number but I'm afraid I won't be able to call you. My parents aren't fond of me calling people I don't really know. And I'm so sorry to hear about your dad... If you need to talk, you can give me your email and I'll happily talk to you.
And for this chapter, I felt that instead of a simple verse, I'd leave you with a mini lesson out of my Bible. Once again, you do not have to read this if you don't want to. You have a choice. I simply want to share the love of Christ to those who are willing to listen.
"Deuteronomy 2:24-25: "Rise, take your journey, and cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish of you."
For seven years the Midianites had prevailed over Israel, so much so that "the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains" (Judges 6:2). They were so totally dominated by the Midianites that when they harvested their wheat, they harvested it in secret to keep the Midianites from coming in and stealing it. Gideon was threshing his wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!" (Judges 6:12). And Gideon immediately went into a questioning mode. Then the Lord turned the tables on him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?" (Judges 6:14).
In the mind of Gideon, defeating the Midianites was an absolute impossibility. In the natural sense, he was exactly right. But the moment Gideon was commanded to fight them, victory became possible. It was similar to when Jesus told His disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). To these disciples who hadn't been out of their own country, telling them to go to all the world and take the gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation and make disciples was not just the Great Commission, it was an absolute impossibility. But it happened because when God gives a command, the possibility then becomes real. Hence the saying of Jesus, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible" (Mark 10:27).
The moment God gives you the command to attack the things that are trying to destroy you, victory is possible. Whatever He commands you to do, He will enable you to do by His power.
Conquer whatever is attacking you or leading you into bondage today, in the name of Jesus!
If anyone reading this story needs someone to talk to, someone to pray for you, or if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am always here for you.
Once again, thank you everyone and I look forward to hearing from you more. God bless all of you!
