The Battle Is The Lord's! 1/10/16
Luke 6:26 (KJV)
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
This message today is for ALL you "weak and weary sinners, lost and left to die!"
RAISE YOUR HEAD FOR LOVE IS PASSING BY!!!
MANY can say with Job:
Job 30:26 (KJV)
26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
Over MANY years of Christian Ministry, I have found a strange axiom!
Too often, just when I needed to be "on my best," was then I was my weakest!!!
This BATTLE if real!!!
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (KJV)
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
2 Corinthians 1:8 (KJV)
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Every day brings a new obstacle and/or FEAR!
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU TODAY:
2 Timothy 2:3 (KJV)
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
HARDNESS-from the same as
<G2552>
(kakopatheia); to
undergo hardship
:- be afflicted, endure afflictions (hardness), suffer trouble
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
-
As every one of us sometimes learns,
-
And many a fellow turns about
-
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
-
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
-
You may succeed with another blow.
OFTENTIMES, WE must do as King David, whom HAD TO:
"
ENCOURAGE HIMSELF IN THE LORD!"
1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)
6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the
LORD
his God.
I received a phone call from an esteemed friend of mine this past week where he had been called "A FALSE PROPHET!"
His words hung heavily in my spirit as I well knew of his efforts to do well and live righteously.
Jesus, Himself, was also labeled "A FALSE PROPHET!"
Matthew 10:24-25 (KJV)
24
The disciple is not above
his
master, nor the servant above his lord.
25
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more
shall they call
them of his household?
BUT Jesus said:
Matthew 5:11 (KJV)
11
Blessed are ye, when
men
shall revile you, and persecute
you
, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
TODAY, if YOU have NOT felt the harsh ridicule of satan's fiery criticism you may need to "EXAMINE YOURSELF!"
2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV)
5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
TODAY, dear SOLDIER, "GIRD UP THE LOINS OF YOUR MIND!!!"
1 Peter 1:13 (KJV)
13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Take heart, TODAY, in the fact and knowledge:
"
THAT THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!"
1 Samuel 17:47 (KJV)
47
And all this assembly shall know that the
LORD
saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle
is
the
LORD
'S, and he will give you into our hands.
Tell/DEMONSTRATE to whatever devil or evil formed against you:
"
BUT I COME TO THEE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS
1 Samuel 17:45 (KJV)
45
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the
LORD
of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY FOR YOU TODAY!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!
I BELIEVE IN YOU!
