Ephesians 6:10-13 (KJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist or learned theologian to perceive that something is not right with America or the world entire!!!!
BUT the answer lies not in any person or political party or ideology.
Our ONLY hope lies in God and His Bible!!!
One man or woman, one vote, one election cannot “fix” the evil consuming our world and society today.
If ever we NEED God, it is now:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
The “powers” that be-the evil we face-cannot be won “in the flesh!”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (KJV)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
David wrote:
Psalm 27:13 (KJV)
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
And YES, I am excited about going to Heaven someday, and YES, I look for and YEARN for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ....................
SMILE-I am MORE excited about meeting Jesus in the air than the alternative-AMEN!?
But again, human effort and human experience and knowledge cannot fix what ails us.
I/We live- “HERE IN THE REAL WORLD!!!”
I/We have no idea how much longer we will live “HERE IN THE REAL WORLD/ON THIS EARTHY PLANET” nor does anyone know when Jesus will return..........
Someone once said:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
So...................??? What do WE do???????????????????
The BEST thing WE can do is reread the opening Scriptures of this message-ANYBODY/EVERYBODY can PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psalm 121:1-2 (KJV)
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah rightly said that “the enemy SHALL come in!!!!”
BUT, the better news is that “LIKE A FLOOD THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL RAISE UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
STANDARD-a primitive root; to flit, i.e. vanish away (subside, escape; causative chase, impel, deliver) :- × abate, away, be displayed, (make to) flee (away, -ing), put to flight, × hide, lift up a standard. Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
STANDARD!!! WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD TO (AGAIN) RIASE UP THAT STANDARD AGAINST THE
LIKE A FLOOD!!!
Beloved, there is no stopping a flood!!! A flood devastates and consumes anything and everything in its pathway!!!!!!!!!!
Today, as you read these words, join me and MILLIONS of others and let us:
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Pray without ceasing.
TODAY, let us raise up the STANDARD of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
