34 Days till Feast of Trumpets 2024
66 Days until election day 2024
Why are we doing this countdown of days and promoting good news and encouragement? 1. Because this is total war. We did not ask for this war and we did not want this war but the enemy of humanity declared total war on us so here we are. 2. The highest form of warfare is information war. The enemy has been waging an information war of demoralization against us for years and we are here now to counter that and destroy it.
We intend to win this war. How are we going to do it? Good news and information-the truth.
Hosea 4:6
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
Still waiting for the good news today? The good news today is the Spirit of the Lord is equipping the Church to fight this information war starting and ending with the truth. The truth is the root of this worlds problems today is spiritual.
Eph 6
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
The Lord God is equipping and empowering the Church to fight and win. We have been given all the tools we need to do this. Now, today and in the days ahead we are to stand up, and grow up into the fulness of what we were put here on earth to do in this season. In other words we are to grow into the very best version of ourselves. In sports terms, we are being called by the Lord God to be the "hall of fame" level of ourselves. In sports you have various levels-high school teams, jv and varsity, college teams, FCS and FBS, then pro teams then on those pro teams the best of the best are invited and inducted to the hall of fame. That is the level we are being called to. Who else is better equipped and empowered on this earth to be you than you? We are being called to bring the best versions of ourselves to this fight.
That is great news (and alot of work) and its exciting. What does the best version of you look like? What does the best version act like (etc etc)? The Lord God doesn't half do things-He goes all in and all out. We are being called to this-to be like our Father. Time to step up...
Next-tactics, techniques and procedures here:
Eph 6
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
and here again said another way:
2 Chron 20
13Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. 14And the Spirit of the Lord camed upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s. 16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel. 17You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.”
18Then Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19And the Levites, of the Kohathites and the Korahites, stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
20And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” 21And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say,
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his steadfast love endures forever.”
22And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed. 23For the men of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction, and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they all helped to destroy one another.
Some take aways from this ^^^. The battle is not yours but the Lord's but you still need to "go out against them" and "stand firm." The Lord will completely rout and destroy the enemy. He is not playing with them, He is annihilating them. We do our part-He will do His part and the enemy will get rocked.
All of this is great news but again we need to keep it real. This is not something where we kick our feet up on the table in apathy and complacency as the Church has done in the past and allow the enemy to run roughshod over humanity. Those days are OVER. Never again, not on our watch...Now we stand up and we stay up as long as the Lord God would have us do our thing on the face of this earth. For the rest of our days here we are to "bring it." "Bringing it" means our best and that my friends is going to take alot of effort, trial and travail, humility, prayer, fasting-basically hard work and adversity that is constructive. We need to get comfortable being uncomfortable for the purposes of building the Kingdom of the Lord our God. Pushing out on the edge of our boundaries of what makes us uncomfortable is what it takes to be hall of fame level anything.
Also note with me that all this ^^^ is going to take place regardless of what happens in November where we are standing in agreement with you in prayer, faith and belief that the orange man is the Lord's guy in this battle and he will prevail. We are in phase one of this battle today, after November 5 we shift into phase 2. So get comfortable being uncomfortable with the purpose and intent of being the very best version of you for the purpose of serving this world as a servant of the Most High God. We want to represent our Father and His Kingdom for what it is-Most High.
It is going to be exciting, and tough and glorious all at the same time. It is time to dig down and bring out everything you've got today and in increasing measure in the days ahead to serve Almighty God our Lord and Savior.
Glory to God
grace and peace
