Do Not Let The Enemy Still Your Joy! ! !
4 stars|4 comments|November 05, 2008|247 reads
 

My fellow friends,

For most of you, yesterday was an upsetting day because a man who you do not support won the majority of the electoral votes.  Please note, that this message is not some pathetic sappy message stating that I am agreeing with this man or anything like that.  No, but rather it is being written from the depths of my heart.  

We must not allow the enemy to still our joy.  Though we may be disappointed and upset, we must continue to praise God like never before.  For if our praise stops, then the enemy will truly have won.  

I want to challenge each and everyone of you today to find something to thank God for.  Find that one particular reason that you still hold unto your faith and use it.  Trust in God, that He will have His way.  For nothing happens on accident.  

I actually believes that America needs change, but true change can happen only through God....not man.  

So be of good cheer today.  And remember that God loves you.

Your Brother in Christ Jesus

Jeremy D. Crouch

You are a wise man for being so young. I was just posting on Mike and Laura's blog about this. I am praying that the Holy Ghost will grab ahold of this president and Save Him to his toenails so that he will do the right thing for the unborn and God's agenda. I am not going to hang my head in defeat. I am going to Praise with you Jeremy. I will not give up.

There is a verse somewhere where the Children of Israel were to take their harps down from the willows and play them in captivity because they were going back to Zion. Take them down and praise the Lord, we still have hope in our joy for Jesus.

woo hoo!

Jeremy, you are right, true change comes from the Lord. Let us hope, and pray, that is the change we get!

As far as being thankful, folks in America who struggle to find something to thank God for must be blind. God has showered blessings on this nation, both the godly and the wicked alike. Those who don't live thankful lives are not doing so not b/c they don't have anything to be thankful for, but b/c they refuse to see all the tremendous blessings of God. I myself am FULL of joy this day. NOT b/c of the outcome of the election, but perhaps in spite of it. No politician is going to put a dent in my joy today, b/c my hopes are built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness! (yes, that's from a hymn)

God bless you J-man, thanks for the encouraging words today bro!

Jeremy--I'm thankful for my car (see my blog for more details) but I'm mostly thankful for a Savior who doesn't change!
