Politicians from the top rededicating this nation back to the Lord. Why now? Is this real? Yes, its real. This year is the year of global spiritual awakening and repentance/revival in the Church. It all ties in together. The Lord is doing something here, He is moving. Over and over in his spirit this servant hears "the best is yet to come." We need to press forward into what the Lord is doing in the earth. Our God and His Promises are bigger than any problem or any adversary. Our God is bigger than all the enemy's plots, plans, and agendas. His promises are bigger than our problems.
Our place of strength is leveled up and centered in His Will. What is His Will? At the very tippy top level its this:
Matt 22:
34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ c 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
This is the whole enchilada. The nexus or center or the commandment is love. Which is also 1 Cor 13, 1 John 4 and throughout your Bible from beginning to end. We are being called upward to the highest best versions of ourselves right now. Those highest best versions are necessary for what the Lord wants to do on the earth both now and in the days, weeks and months ahead. Somehow, the best is still ahead. Not just in Heaven later, but on earth now. The Lord has in mind to do something great and that great thing is not standing still, it is moving.
We already see the dissolution of the Communist nightmare from around the earth. Venezuela was the first communist, anti-Christ, anti-human domino to fall. Cuba is next, and both China and North Korea are on the agenda as well. 1% gospel penetration in North Korea is not going to work. The promise is greater than the problem:
Matt 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
That includes the Muslim theocracy called Iran as well as the communist dictatorships of China and North Korea.
What does Faith say about our situation?
What does Hope say about our situation?
and most importantly what does Love say about our situation?
Everything else may pass away but these three remain....
1 Cor 13
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
This ^^^ is how we take care of Kingdom business. This ^^^ is how we cut through the darkness and all the plots, plans, and agendas of the enemy. Love implies obedience, which in turn implies humility and repentance for those who are off the narrow path.
2 Chron 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
It does not take a majority of us to rout the enemy:
Joshua 23:10 (NKJV) "One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God, He is the one who fights for you, as He promised you."
This is a direct promise from Joshua to the Israelites as they settle in the Promised Land. It highlights divine assistance: with God fighting for them, one faithful person can rout a huge enemy force.
Leviticus 26:8 (part of God's blessings for obedience) "Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall by the sword before you."
This is in the context of covenant blessings—if Israel obeys God, they will experience supernatural victory and multiplication of strength.
This ^^^ is why each and every one of you matter. One of you offsets 1000 of the enemy, so each and every one matters. We need each other to rise up and press into what the Lord is doing. This servant has heard/been impressed in his spirit the Lord's Will of "pressing back the enemy all the way to the gates of hell from whence they came."
All of this is very encouraging and it is the Lord's Will that each of you rise up, be motivated, inspired and encouraged to go forth boldly in your mission given to you by the Master in order for the large scale, overall Mission to be accomplished. We all play a part. He could do it all on His own but He does not want it that way. We are and are to be a family. We do this together but each has to contribute their own individual part to the whole.
Now is the time to rise up into the fulness of your calling and election in Christ.
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
