To the finish line, that is where we are headed. 11 days from now is the finish line for one thing and the beginning of another. Here is a prayer to take us there:
PS 17:6
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7Wondrously showa your steadfast love,
O Savior of those who seek refuge
from their adversaries at your right hand.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
9from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who surround me.
10They close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11They have now surrounded our steps;
they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.
12He is like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion lurking in ambush.
13Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14from men by your hand, O Lord,
from men of the world whose portion is in this life.b
As it was in the past so it is now, again ^^^. Our hope is in the Lord God Most High. Keep your eyes on Christ. This process we are in is part of a larger plan the Lord God has in motion. That plan has everything to do with 1. The Lord God, 2. His Kingdom, and 3 His People-you, me, Israel. We will see someday when we graduate to the other side that there never was a reason for any of us to be anxious or worry:
Phil 4:6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
He has this. The battle is the Lord's:
1 Sam 17:47
and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
What have we been called to do? Rise up. In what way? Every way. We are to rise up into the fulness of our calling, election, talents, skills and abilities per Matt 25 the parable of the talents. Only a moron or a thief would tell you the Lord was preaching about money and banking in that parable. It is clearly about using what we have been given to produce for the Kingdom.
You and I are to rise up, we together all of us are the Church of Jesus Christ. That means the Church is rising up in every way possible. Why? Its time. And thats not all, we together are rising with a purpose and that purpose of "rising" is to culminate in this:
1 Thess 4:17
Then we, the living remaining, will be caught away together with them in the clouds for the meeting of the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord.
While the Church remains on this earth, the enemy is to lose ground to the Church. We are going to finish strong...We are going to turn our light and salt-meters up from wherever they are now to 100. The Lord God is coming back for a spotless Bride and that is what we are in the continual never ending process of becoming.
So, you see there is never going to be any going back to the asleep at the wheel, dead Churchianity. The apathetic, complacent who think they can bury their head in a hole and wait for it all to go by, while they attempt to preserve whats left of the sick and twisted "status quo" that not even the Lord God or the devil like, those people are in for a rude awakening.
A trumpet is sounding the call to rally to the Lord's battle standard. It has been raised for every believer with even a mustard seed sized faith. With the days that remain for us here we are to do what we were intended to do from the beginning. We are believing that the orange man will be the next president of the United States regardless of what the enemy wants. "They" are going to get taken behind the woodshed and punished-there is no place for them to hide from Almighty God. Its coming and it is more sure than death and taxes.
But for today, one thing at a time. We are to keep our eyes on Christ day in and day out. Our time here is short, whether that means "mans time" short or "God's time" short is irrelevant-the mission and requirements for us are the same. An orange man win in 2 weeks or so is actually the more dangerous path because people being people will breathe a sigh of relief. People get complacent when the pressure appears to go away. We know better and we are preparing better. The enemy plans to keep the war against us going. "They" have plans for inauguration day and beyond to terrorize, kill, steal and destroy like they always do.
While we are here we will be actively opposing all of it. The Spirit of the Lord is calling in targets for prayer warriors to pray over. We are praying binding and loosing, restraint and rebuking all of the plans, agendas and narratives of the enemy. "They" will not be handed another square inch of unopposed ground while the Church is rising up on this earth. They wanted a fight, now they are going to get that fight. We are to pray over the entirety of the battlefield. In the Army this is called IPB-intelligence preparation of the battlefield but in our case its prayer preparation of the battlefield. Less than two weeks from now we will be in phase 2 of the plan. Phase 2 includes praying over everything, the school boards, the city councils, the city, county, state governments, everything. We are not to leave one square inch of the battlefield unopposed. He is coming and it will be "their" worst nightmare.
Its time to do our job. As you can see from the writing above little was written about the orange man in any of this. We are going to do our job one way or the other. The orange man just rubs the salt into "their" wound a little deeper which is more than justified after all of the pillaging, death and destruction they have wrought in the land.
Get ready. It is time to up your game, it is time to up mine. The Lord God gave this servant a snapshot of what it looks like in heaven these days:
Rev 8:4
The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.
The snapshot was the Lord God sitting on His throne in heaven with the throne room looking like a sauna from the people of God flooding it with prayers. Our Lord does have a sense of humor although this is not funny time. The Spirit of the Lord followed onto the snapshot with this: "more prayer, the Lord God wants to work. Our prayer causes Him to work but even with the throne room fogged up like a sauna He is barely taxing His little finger to lift the load. He would challenge us to cause Him to work more-He wants to do this...So, try to overload the Lord God with prayers of every kind. No issue is too big or too small, load Him up!!!
Last thing, this nobody was on his face praying recently when the Lord impressed that the World Economic Forum narcissistic psychopath far left extremist globalist, demonic satanists "great reset" will be coming but not in the way that "they" thought. They are going to have their own reset buttons pushed in a way that will be very unpleasant for them. They are going to get all that they wanted but poured into their own lap instead of ours...Glory to God. This nobody actually laughed out loud when it all went through the movie screen of the mind. The Lord God is very good.
So be encouraged, keep the faith. Keep your eyes on Christ-that is where we are headed. He is and will be our daily bread, encouragement, hiding place, strong tower against the foe etc. We are rising up while we are physically here on earth to culminate in literally rising up into the clouds. Thats the plan. You know what you need to do-go do it :)
Glory to God
grace and peace
