Its all about Him. The focus, the praise, the worship, the attention, the hope, the help all of it is in Him, with Him and through Him. We get that part right and we dont have to worry about anything else:
Matt 6
31“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Seek first the Kingdom of God. There it is, and the rest will take care of itself. Our individual relationship with Him comes before our corporate relationship with Him. Get the "you and Him" part right first. The Lord is not sitting up in Heaven wringing His Hands about all the plans the enemy has to kill, steal and destroy. It helps that the Lord God knows every play in the enemy playbook like the back of His Hand. It helps even more that the Lord God's power is infinite and eternal and the enemy's power is very finite. So yea, don't worry the Lord has our back. Every success we have had so far has been because of Him. Every success we will have today and tomorrow will be because of Him. So, we know where we want to pay attention first. We know where our help, support and sucess comes from.
So, the Lord God comes first. Our personal relationship, entering His gates with praise, rejoicing, dancing, singing and songs of deliverance every day comes first. Rededicating ourselves to Him as living sacrifices and rejecting this world and everything it has to offer is next. Yielding our body, soul, and spirit, present, future and past to Him so we can be used as lights and lamps in this dark world is next. We yield our vessel to Him. We ask Him to shine, light and life into this dark world through us. We yield our will to His Will so His Will will be done in and through us today and every day. We yield our vessel to Him so He can act, flow, inspire, uplift, encourage and otherwise influence the world around us, through us. We step aside and let Him do His thing in and through us because nobody can do His Will as well as He can so we want Him to do it in and through us, which was His design and desire from the beginning.
We want to finish the work He has given us to do, just as He finished His Work on this earth to bring the Father Glory on this earth:
John 17:4
4I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
We are to walk on this earth as our Lord Jesus Christ did which means doing the things He did ^^^ and more:
John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
In alignment and agreement with His Will and His Word we find our assignment. If you dont know what your assignment is yet you know where to look now to find it.
We serve a very very Great God. He acts big because He is big. The things this servant has been impressed with by the Spirit of the Lord are big, great things that only He could do. Like erasing the scourge of communism from the face of the earth. That's the plan as this servant understands it but thats not all there is much much more. He wants the demonic perverts out of our schools and off of our school boards. Messing with the children is a very very big no no:
Mark 9:42
If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
We want an end to election fraud in this country and around the world, no more electronic voting machine cheating, hacking, ballot stuffing, "counting" ballots for weeks and months until "their" candidate wins (100% of the time). No more cheating in our elections and no more fraud.
Prov 16
11A just
All
12It is an abomination
And the list goes on, we ask the Lord God Most High to eradicate the wickedness in our schools, colleges and universities, the entertainment industry, the media, the pulpits, the school boards, the city councils, city and state governments. We especially pray that the deep state be pulled out by the roots and completely annihilated. We pray for an end of wickedness and corruption in our federal government. An end of corruption of our courts. In short, we ask the Lord God Almighty to eradicate wickedness from every square inch of public life.
We ask this according to His Good and Pleasing Will and Word:
Matt 6
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
[d]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave us this prayer ^^^, think it might be important? What is His Will for our public life? Do we believe He is content with the wickedness and corruption around us? Obviously not when He tells us point blank:
10Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
All the rot and corruption down here has no place in Heaven. We the Church are the Body of Christ on the earth and we stand in agreement and alignment with His Will which we read clearly above.
The Church is salt and light on this earth. Salt is a suppression method of restraining rot and decay. Light is an eradication method of removing darkness. So our mandate as the Church is suppression and eradication of darkness everywhere it is found/everywhere we are on this earth.
The Lord God is spreading His Wings and we are to go along for the ride. He is doing a new thing, and we are to stand hand in hand in agreement and perfect alignment with His Will and Word.
PS 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
ISA 43
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
He is doing a new thing on this earth. The enemy has bound and shackled the Church for too long with demonic doctrines like that of the Nicolaitans:
Rev 2:15
Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Nico=conquer or victory over
Laitan=laity=people
There are no "lay people" in the Body of Jesus Christ. The "average" believer in the true organic, living Body of Christ blows the socks off any of the hired hand spiritual servants of Babylonian churchianity any day of the week.
John 10:12
The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
No more ^^^. No more shackles, no more chains. The path forward is a fully empowered Church walking hand in Hand with the Lord God to do His Will on this earth. That sounds very very apocalyptic for the enemy and those who serve him. For us, it sounds glorious.
We were also told to always be watching and ready for the unexpected return of the Lord. If we knew exactly when it was, it would not be unexpected. All of us who belong to Him long for this day so it should not be a burden or something extraordinary we feel like we are being asked to do. We are looking forward to meeting Him face to face and being with Him forever. This is part of our standard operating procedure-we are always ready to go at a moments notice and ready to stay to do all that our Lord has for us to do on this earth. From time to time we "drill" or practice readiness for that unexpected day and hour that nobody except the Father knows. Soldiers operate this way because it is very effective. We should operate the same way because we are His soldiers:
2 Tim 2:3
Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This first part of our macro mission is proactive, seeking the Lord's face and enacting His Will on earth just as in Heaven. The second part is reactive. We see what the enemy is trying to do or has done and we suppress it (salt) or eradicate it (light) where possible.
We have alot of work to do, time to get busy.
Glory to God
grace and peace
