Is it the end??
Earthquakes, rumors of wars, economic downfalls, the stock market crashing - these are just a few of the many things talked about in the news today. I hear people talking about stocking weapons and food and I hear the fear. The fear in their voices and it is almost overwhelming. And for me it has been disheartening. So much of what the bible talks about regarding the end time events we are seeing. So what do we do??
I've been praying for some time and I keep hearing the same message from the Lord. Have the heart of a champion! Don't fear! I've been praying over this word for some time now. I'm sure when David faced Goliath he was scared. I'm sure when Daniel was in the Lion's den there was some fear. I think sometimes fear is a natural response when situations come. But the Word says to FEAR NOT! This is not the time for us to cover our faces and hide our heads in the sand. We can't sit down and watch the Goliath's in our nation rule and rain and taunt us. That is not the heart of a champion. And you may not feel like a champion, but we have the resurrection power of Christ in us! It is time for action! It is time to pray. Prayer changes everything - how many times in the Word did God proclaim judgement and the prayers of the saints turn things around?? God hears the prayers of His people. Trials and troubles are going to happen while we are still on this earth. But it doesn't have to steal our peace, or our joy.
Let me remind you what our war looks like.
Ephesians 6:10-12
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
BE STRONG IN THE LORD! Not in our own strength - it is not by might nor by power but by My spirit says the Lord. Zechariah 4:6. Prayer changes things. It is time for Christians to stand and fight in prayer.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
We have to remember that we are KINGDOM KIDS. We don't operate in the world's systems. My bible says that I will have LIFE and LIFE more abundant. Does that not apply to the trials in life be it a stock market crash? Or another war? What about 1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God. We overcome!
I don't know all that will happen this year. I know that I've prepared like I would in Florida for a hurricane. Being from Florida we see the grocery stores sell out of everything when a hurricane is coming. It happens. I have water, small bills, I have dry goods, and I'm keeping my gas tank full. But I'm not going crazy with supplies because I see 5 fish and 2 bread feeding 5000. I see Jesus getting a coin out of a fish's mouth. My God will supply. If nothing else - seed, time and harvest. I am a tither. I am a giver and I will always have a harvest. As will many of you who are tithers and givers. We have a harvest. God will take care of His people.
It's time for believers to get their heads out of the sand and grow up! Our mission is to save that which is lost. To heal, set free, deliver and whatever else needs to be done to expand the Kingdom of God. It is not about expanding your own kingdom. God has a plan and a purpose for you in this life. It is imperative that we go after the things that please God in this hour. It is not time to be asleep or have your head buried in the sand. Life is short - more so now than it was yesterday.
