Amen, KAC. Prayers from NY that your move goes smoothly.
I have been wanting to write this...
My fellow-Christians in this country, have been trying to fight spiritual attacks with political weapons alone. The nature of the attacks on our culture have all been spiritual from the beginning, with the ACLU and their dirty work of eliminating Christ from Public mention to Planned Parenthood, encouraging immorality as a right. And finally, a false god and its religion, Islam, comes against us with a fury, demanding us to submit or die.
Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:12 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.
We must take up Spiritual weaponry to fight this fight...the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are Mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God....we must recognize the spiritual nature of the war.
We must recognize the height from which our culture over the few hundred years has fallen...which can be done by reading the literature, listening to the music and reading biographies of what the people did and what they held important.....
Rev 2:4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen;
We must fight in our own hearts against anything that displeases God. We must be disgusted with the sin that overwhelms this nation, like sewage. We must humbly seek God's forgiveness and help. We must stand in the gap.
Eph 6:13 Therefore 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.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
Eph 6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Eph 6:18 praying 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,
We must pray for Revival in our hearts, and in the entire nation, of those that will hear what the Spirit is saying.
Then, the Lord alone knows how he will bend low and help us. How he will come down and turn back the reproach of apostasy from this nation...if we obey him, and love him and each other according to his word.......
If not now, when? If not us? Whom?
I pray we will stand in the gap.
Eze 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Give us help, Lord, in Jesus' Name.
