“He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision.” (Psalm 2:4) Man thinks of himself as powerful; yet God is and always will be the most powerful One; He is the Almighty God.
Man with his worldly wisdom and knowledge thinks that he can run his own life without God. Yet, the Bible says, “Fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good.” (Psalm 14:1) Man in his confusion, lost in his own darkness, is being used by the devil to accomplish his schemes.
God in His absolute power still reigns over our lives. He comes to seek and to save the lost. The devil knowing his time is near still actively at work trying to deceive as many as he can, yet God’s Holy Spirit is activating the Church, the body of Christ, to prepare her for such a time as this.
As long as we are alive, there will always be troubles coming from the enemy in the heavenly realm fighting against God’s children. No matter what you are going through right now, you just have to remember that God is always near. He will see you through. He will walk with you through the valley of the shadow of death.
He says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2) You must learn to depend on Him; cry out to Him for help; His angels are ready to assist you. “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11)
Is God on your side fighting the fiercest battle for you? Do you know who your real enemy is? Let’s read Ephesians 6:10-20, I Peter 5:8 again. At times, your spiritual battle will be so intense, and you cannot afford to take your eyes off the Lord. You cannot be sidetracked for a second.
However, your faith in God and your will shall be tested constantly. Your love, loyalty and devotion to the Lord will be put through the test of time. Your love of your life shall be tested through trials and proven that you shall not love your life unto death.
Are you willing to give your life completely to God to serve His purpose and His will? Will you surrender your life to Jesus 100% so that there is no turning back for you, so that you will follow Jesus all the way even if it will cost you all your life? Cut the bridge. March forward.
When your intimacy with Jesus reaches a point where you have become one with him in spirit, in your mind, in your heart; you feel what he feels; His will to obey the Father and to do what His Father wants him to do is also your will and sole desire to obey him at all cost. You love the people He loves; you hate the wicked and evil things he hates; you speak the things His Holy Spirit gives you to speak and dare not think of saying anything else to bring attention to yourself but to bring the glory to God.
In the Name of Jesus and in His authority you shall have the power to break the power of death when He calls you to raise the death; power to cast out demons and unclean spirits; power to heal the sick and to bring healing to those in needs of deliverance. God, Jehovah-Rapha, our Healer deserves all the glory, all the praise, all the honor.
Is there anything still in the way that stops God from blessing you? Is Satan having any reason to bring any charge against you in the heavenly court? Is there anything that you are still ashamed of? Is there any root of bitterness? Is there any pride or arrogant attitude that does not reflect the mind of Christ in you? Is there any compromise with the world that may interfere with your faith in God? Is there any principality or power other than the power of God working in you?
Let’s come to the Lord and confess all our sins and repent. Turn around 180 degree and walk toward God, stand by Him. Lay down your life for the sake of the Gospel. Count the cost.
God is fighting the battle for us. We shall not be weary; we shall not quit following Jesus. When life is tough, and the Evil one is shooting all kinds of flaming arrows at us, we shall not be afraid but charging forward, fully armored with truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, filled with the Holy Spirit and His power, holding the sword of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word.
Charge! Reclaim the lost lives, souls. Heal the wounded hearts. Impact lives. Transform communities.
Make a difference in someone’s life one at a time.
