It's time for God's people to reailze that we are in a battle!!! Yes the enemy has stolen from us, that is his mission. Remember "The thief comes to kill, to steal and to destroy"?? John 10:10
But now it is time for God's people the "Church of Jesus Christ" "the Army of God" to rise up and put on her armor. Be armed with the Word of God, the sword of the Spirit and take back what the enemy has stolen. "I command you .....be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."Jos.1:9
Yes we have got to be strong! The enemy isn't intimidated by our whinning and crying about what is going on in our lives and in this country. And frankly God isn't impressed with it either. It doesn't mean he isn't a compassionate loving God. He loves us and wants us to be blessed. "I have come that they have life and have it abundantly." Jn 10:10b
He has given us all we need to have victory over the enemy. He has given us his Word and His great and precious promises!!!
The enemy has stolen our children our marriages, our homes, and now it looks as though he has taken over this land. The divorce rate in the church is right up there with the secular world. Many church going families have lost their children to drugs and alcohol. But God has given us all we need to have victoy over the enemy. But is going to take getting into the Word and meditating on the Word as the Lord told Joshua. He told Joshua not to be sidetracked by the enemy "don't look to the right or to the left, but meditate on My Word day and night and then you will succeed." Jos1:8
God was telling Joshua how to fight the enemy because Joshua was the one to lead God's people into the Promised Land. Remember a whole generation died under Moses leadership and never entered into all that God had promised them because of disobedience and unbelief. I believe that many people today will die and go to heaven, and never really receive all the promised blessings that God had for them here on this earth.
God wants us to be blessed. He wants our homes, families, and our children blessed. He wants our land blessed. We must rise up and be the church! We must determine to study the Word, not just by ourselves, but in a good Bible Study. We will never arrive at the place where we can't learn from His Word. There is constant revelation in His Word. His Spirit will constantly reveal to us the deep truthes of His Word. We have to know his Word to have success.
"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all it's fullness." John 10:10
"My people are "destroyed" for lack of knowledge." Hos.4:6
