We are coming to the end of Phase 1 of the Lord's plan and about to begin Phase 2. Going into phase 2 this is what we need:
2 Cor 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight:
Romans 8:37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Eph 6
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
^^^Stand immovable, firm, resolute, rooted down deep in Christ like a tree trunk.^^^
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Make no mistake, we have seen evil take the mask off. "They" the enemy, the adversary against us is evil. The great news today is the Lord God Almighty is good. The Lord God Almighty is light, and light drives out darkness every time without exception.
Matt 5:14
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Stay focused, keep your eyes on Christ and in the Word. Stand immovable, resolute, determined with your face like flint:
Is 50:7
Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
We are going out of this world strong. We are going to finish strong. We will stand, and bind and loose and move mountains standing hand in hand with each other and the Lord God Almighty-one happy family <3.
The Spirit of the Lord has raised a banner against the enemy. He has blown the horn for every single believer with even a mustard seed sized faith to rally to the banner. He has opened the armory of God which is highly effective in waging spiritual wars:
1. pray
2. fast
3. Stand in agreement-Matt 18:19
4. Drop the Nicolaitan
shackles-we are not "lay people" we move mountains-Mk 11:23
5. Stand in the gap for the land-Ez
22:30
6. Put on the full armor of God-Eph
6
7. Believe you have received what
you ask for in prayer-Mark 11:24
8. Pray back the promises to the
author of the promises asking Him to respect and honor those promises
9. Eyes on Christ, focus on the
solutions not the problems
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.
10. We are going to add
"stand" as in standing your ground to the list. We are standing
on the promises, standing on our belief, standing on our faith and standing in
agreement.
Isa 7:9
The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son. If you do not stand
firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.’”
11. Praying for our
enemies-what happens when we pray for our enemies and “they” become “we.” Its more than just good Christian doctrine
it’s a weapon of war against the dark powers in high places. Turn the enemies best and brightest and now
we have their enemies inside their wire/inside their camp.
12. Pray in the
Spirit-Romans 8:27
13. Seeking greater spiritual gifts-1 Cor 14-more gifts
means more power brought to bear to edify the Church and by extension hurt the
enemy.
14. Become the best
version of yourself to provide the highest service to the Kingdom of God
2 Cor 10
4For
the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to
destroy strongholds. 5We
destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God,
and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6being
ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
The enemy that stands before us is at war with Almighty God. The servant who writes to you today sees no possible path to victory for "them." What this servant does see is an enemy about to get routed and plundered:
Isa 45:9
“Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?
"They" have awakened a sleeping giant (the Church.) This time they will get back all they have dished out but with interest accrued on top...Stay the course, keep the faith-do what the Lord God tells you to do and watch what happens (shout for joy) this is going to be EPIC :). It certainly wont be boring...
Glory to God
grace and peace
