Oh yes, there are trials and tribulations; buffoonery in politics; children running amuck, not having proper supervision and guidance; perversion against innocence; corruption and greed motivating those who are to lead, serve, protect, minister, and elevate. We are not called to stick our heads in the sand; but these are not to be our focus. These are not to be the indications of our hope of Christ's return. To give them more attention than what God prepared causes fear, discouragement, dismay, and can pressure us of His light to dim down through frustration and apathy; and is actually an insult to El-Elyon, the Most High God. Instead we are to focus on what the Lord has established and has already begun to manifest, and the Helper He has sent unto us to navigate through it all.
We have:
~ The increasing pouring out of His Spirit
~ 1,000 may fall at our side, and 10,000 at our right hand but it shall
not come near us
~ No weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue
rising against we shall condemn
~ Healing available to us by the stripes of Jesus
~ Provision of amounts according to God's riches
~ Authority given us by Jesus Himself to shut down the devil's plans
and antics
~
The Name that is above all names -
JESUS
- to which every knee
shall bow; that causes demonic forces and entities to flee and
scamper away from us and our camp when called out
~ The Almighty God and His sovereignty
~ Jesus Christ and the fruit and benefits of His great love sacrifice on
our behalf
~ Holy Spirit and His divine companionship of ever leading, teaching,
and comforting
~ The promise of Christ's glorious appearing
Brothers and sisters in Christ, let's set our hearts and focus on the righteous signs of the times...our divine signs from God.
