In order to do our jobs the way we are supposed to, we must be in agreement and alignment with our Lord.
John 15:
5“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples
1 John 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
We are in the age of grace presently. The Church continues to restrain on the earth indwelt by the Spirit of the Lord God who works in us, with us and through us to effect His Will throughout the earth. Nowhere in the Bible do you see an instruction for us to wring our hands in anxiety over all the plans the enemy has. Rather, its the opposite. The enemies of the cross should be worried about all of the things the Lord God has planned for this world.
We are aware of the enemy's constant scheming and we pray constant, consistent binding, restraint, and suppression over all of it. We spend more of our time however centered in what the Lord is planning and doing throughout the earth. The Church remains on the earth in this age of grace therefore souls are at the forefront. Faith, hope and love are at the forefront. War on complacency is at the forefront.
The Lord God has had us on a multi year development plan to be ready to leave this earth whenever the time appears right to Him. The past few years have been about agreement and alignment now that remains a requirement however more is being added on that foundation. We are to level up into the highest, best versions of ourselves-centered in His Will (agreement and alignment). That has obedience baked into it. Without obedience there is no agreement or alignment or love. It all works together. We are to be faith, hope and love projectors on this earth. Wherever we go, faith, hope and love show up because He is in us, and we are in agreement with Him.
We are told not to worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself, that just leaves today. Today is the day of salvation, today is the day of action, today is the day to fast and pray. Today is the day to bind and loose. If we take care of our business today, tomorrow will take care of itself. That is the process in a nutshell. We are at war with complacency today. We are busy with our Lord's work today, fully invested, fully involved, fully committed-today.
We who believe and take these things seriously will not be caught again with our feet up on the table, in apathy and complacency while the devil and his minions run roughshod over the world in a demonic free for all. NEVER AGAIN. When the Lord pulls His Church off the earth, then we can relax. Until then it is GAME ON. Sorry for the caps but this is important. We have set before us life and death, blessing and curses:
Deut 30
11Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
15See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. 16For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
17But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
