What is the Lord saying to the Churches today? The message this nobody hears is the same: do your job. The enemy tried to conduct a global coup during the scamdemic, and they almost succeeded. It was just before this the Spirit of the Lord began impressing the need for each of us to "level up" into the best version of ourselves. We are to find out what we were born to do on this earth, then do it. Each one of us was/is born with a mission. We have been equipped to do that mission and the Lord God Creator expects us to do it (Matt 25, parable of the "talents.") We have been given stuff by our Creator (not just money) and we are expected to produce a return on investment.
What were you born to do? What talents, gifts, abilities, have you been given to serve? The gifts cross the entire spectrum from seemingly out of this world to seemingly mundane. All are important, all are necessary. Each one of us plays an important part in the Lord God's end time plan. Instead of spending all our time dooming out on what the enemy plans for humanity we need to be focused on what our God's plan is. There will be a time for this world to "head to the bunkers" but that day is not today. The Lord has placed before us a prophetic pathway, a road, a map with possibilities of a hope and a future for us that goes beyond President Trump.
This servant believes our best days can still be ahead of us, not behind us. Some of the greatest victories can still be ahead of us, not behind us. Yes, we know how the book of Revelation reads. Yes, we know this world is in for some pain, at some point in the future. But that day, those days are not today. Today we are to play the cards we have in our hands. We are to press forward with relentless perseverance and do our job. Our future lies upon a road, with bridges where each brick in that road has inscribed on it "faith" or "hope" or "love" or "Joy in the Holy Spirit" or "Peace that transcends all understanding."
We have alot of work to do and the way we do that work is His Way. We are to be walking, talking, living broadcast stations of faith, hope, love, joy and peace. We do all these things together. "Me" no longer exists. Now there is only "We." There is us and the Lord and us with each other, all one big unified family. We are growing toward unity. All things will be united in, with and through our Lord Jesus Christ. We work toward this even today.
The Lord knows the plans He has for us. Forget about what the enemy wants to do, we already know what that is: kill, steal and destroy. How about "no?" How about we fight the good fight of faith and strain and strive, and labor and love toward a life full of light, love and hope? Yes, that sounds much better. The media wars against us 24/7. This world wars against us as does the prince of the power of the air and his servants. Thats fine. Its a war, we get it. Let us use the weapons of our warfare thoughtfully. The way we war against darkness is not with more darkness. Light drives out darkness. Love drives out hate. We need to get this right.
The final chapters of our story on earth are to be bound up, and woven together with faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love. Read, and re-read 1 Cor 13, 1 John (all of it) and take particular note of everywhere else in your Bible reading the Word "Love" is used. Why? Because at the highest level what we are living through is a Love story. Not that we loved God but that He loved us, and now we reciprocate, and align and agree with that Love. The narrow road of Matthew 7, this servant believes it is the road of love. We love our God, our brothers and sisters, and even our enemies with His Love. With agape love that is decision based not feelings based love. We decide, de (away from) cide (cut off all other possibilities). We engage our willpower. "I will" love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul and mind. "I will" love my neighbor as myself. "I will" love even my enemies, in Christ, with Christ, through Christ. We can and will do all these things together.
We need to ask and pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send out more workers into the fields. We change this world by changing spirits. People dont vote their mind, they vote their spirit-who they are. Its really hard for a person who is filled with the Spirit of God to vote for murder, mutilation, and sexual perversions of every type. We will love our enemies into the Kingdom (to the best of our ability). When they scream at us with demonic hatred, we respond with "Jesus loves you" and "I love you." We "do business" His way, not our way. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty for the pulling down of strongholds. Which is great because we war not against flesh and blood.
This is getting long, but you get the message. Do your job. Strive and labor to be the best version of yourself, centered in His Will. Fight the good faith. Stay on the narrow road that is bricked and mortared with faith, hope and love, paving the way forward for every step you take in Christ. We have a hope and a future set before us. Something really really good, not just doom armageddon and the end. Do your job, and get down on your knees before the Lord God Creator to find out the specifics for your life.
Faith, Hope, Love, Joy, Peace
