WE AS GOD’S PEOPLE WE ARE EXPERIENCING SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN INCREASING MEASURES IN THESE DAYS.
EVERYWHERE WE GO WE MEET THOSE WHO SAY THAT THE WARFARE IS INTENSIFYING. PERSONAL ASSAULTS ATTACKS ON OUR FAMILIES, ON OUR MINISTRIES, RELATIONSHIPS AND ALMOST EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES ARE INCREASING.
WE MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE BATTLING HOPELESSNESS, DESPAIR, AND AT TIMES "FEEL LIKE" GIVING UP BECAUSE THEY ARE BECOMING WEARY.
DO YOU KNOW THAT ONE OF THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT OUR ADVERSARY KNOWS HIS FINAL FATE.
HE CERTAINLY KNOWS NOW, MORE THAN EVER, HIS TIME IS SHORT.
I ALSO BELIEVE THAT A BIGGER REASON IS THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS BEEN IN AN INTENSE SEASON OF CONTENDING FOR THE PURPOSES OF GOD AND THE MANIFESTATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO COME TO EARTH.
THE TRUTH IS: WE IN THE WESTERN CULTURE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THE FRUIT OF THIS AND INCREASING MANIFESTATIONS OF THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM.
I WANT TO SAY TO EACH OF YOU RIGHT NOW, ‘KEEP ON FIGHTING’ WE MUST KEEP ON FIGHTING
THIS IS THE TOOL FOR THIS MEETING.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE STRATEGY OF THE ENEMY. HE IS DOING ALL HE CAN TO GET US T O FOCUS ON OUR PERSONAL ISSUES IN ORDER TO DISTRACT US AND KEEP US FROM THE HIGHER PURPOSES OF GOD. OUR LOVING FATHER WILL SEE US THROUGH TO VICTORY IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES. BUT, WE MUST REMEMBER, HE HAS PROMISED THAT "TRULY AS I LIVE, ALL THE EARTH SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF THE LORD!"
IF WE ALLOW THE ENEMY TO CONSUME US WITH OUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS, WE WILL MISS MUCH OF WHAT THE LORD IS DOING IN THESE DAYS. THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE SHOULD FORGET OUR PROBLEMS. IT’S JUST THAT WE CANNOT BECOME
CONSUMED BY THEM.
THERE IS NOTHING THE ENEMY CAN-DO THAT WILL STOP OUR GOD FROM FULFILLING HIS PROMISE TO COVER THE EARTH WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD.
LETS’S PURPOSE IN OUR HEATS THAT THE ENEMY WILL NOT STOP US FROM BEING A PART OF THAT PROMISE!
THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH IS A PERFECT PICTURE OF WHAT THE BOD OF CHRIST IS EXPERIENCING TODAY.
THE PEOPLE POSSESSED A MANDATE FROM GOD AND WERE ON A MISSION TO SEE THE PURPOSE OF GOD FULFILLED IN THEIR MIDST. THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM. THEIR ENEMIES WERE HITTING THEM WITH FEAR, INTIMIDATION, AND ACCUSATION [SOUND FAMILIAR?].
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ AND MEDITATE ON THE WHOLE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH, BUT ESPECIALLY CHAPTER FOUR. I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED A FEW VERSES;
1- THE ENEMIES WERE FURIOUS[the enemy is furious with us because we are Gods children amen
2- WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? CAN THEY REALLY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING?
3- NOTHING THEY DO WILL LAST[now lets go reality with this one, how many times have we heard this from family love ones and friends, nothing you do last any way
4-6- PRAYER, STEADFASTNESS, AND
DETERMINATION OF GOD’S PEOPLE, this is the way we have to be, in all situations in our life, we must fight because we win when we fight
7-8 - MORE ANGER AND REGROUPING BY THE ENEMY [HE IS PERSISTENT] he will not give up
10- THE DESPAIR AND DISCOURAGEMENT OF GOD’S PEOPLE; THERE ARE TO MANY OBSTACLES this is what the enemy wants us to think so we give up but we must not give up or give in amen
11-12 - MORE SCHEMING AND THREATS BY THE ENEMY[oh he is on his job he keeps coming but the more he comes the stronger we become we are the children of God we are the kingdom strong and mighty in battle.
13-14 - RALLYING AND STRATEGIZING OF GOD’S PEOPLE "DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THEM! For God has not given us the spirit of fear but a strong mind.
REMEMBER THE LORD IS GREAT AND AWESOME!’ FIGHT!!!!! FIGHT FOR YOUR BRETHREN YOUR SONS, YOUR DAUGHTERS, YOUR WIVES, AND YOUR HUSBANDS, AND YOUR PLACE IN THE KINDGOM OF GOD.
WE ARE GODS PRECIOUS CHILDREN, WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS! JUST AS THE PEOPLE OF GOD FINISHED THE WALL MIRACULOUSLY IN FIFTY-TWO DAYS, WE WILL SEE MORE AND MORE OF THE MIRACULOUS OF OUR GOD WORKING WITH, IN, AND THROUGH US.
AMEN,
SO LET’S GO FOR IT AND STEP ON THE ENEMY BECAUSE WE ARE POWERFUL AND AUTHORIZED BY JESUS CHRIST TO BE.
AMEN AGAIN I ENCOURAGE US ALL TO READ THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH.
THANK YOU JESUS FOR MEETING ME HERE AND SPEAKING THROUGH ME.
