STAND!

Ephesians 6:14

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Psalms 16:8

I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

These are the times of explosion of wisdom and revelations. Wisdom is released and sources of information abound, just from the comfort of your home you get access to information from all parts of the world and also have access to archives of history. (Yet many are ignorant of important things, Selah)

At a time like this people question the very basis of the faith, they have access to other things they therefore want to compare and just as Solomon stated:

Ecclesiastes 12:12

But, my child, let me give you some further advice: Be careful, for writing books is endless, and much study wears you out.

Some have replaced the truth with the love of the world and the things of the world because they do not see the eternal but only the temporal. Emotions, sentiments and philosophical bias have taken over many a heart, leading to more confusion!

There is a wide spread of Contradictions and Arguments, Sentiments and Deceit.

While others have been deceived or confused out of faith, some have been reduced to serving mammon still others live outside of Agape.

But Jesus said

Luke 18:8b

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

The enemy has never changed His tactics, he still attacks the mind. That is where the battle begins and ends:

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

What then do we and those with us do?

We must remain in

* prayer, do not be far from your knees (pray without ceasing)

* study the word, while doing this, be careful of the so called "other books"

* worship, remember God will not share His glory with anyone

* don't be far from true brethren (not lovers of money, pretenders, religious hypocrites or the proud and arrogant)

* let goodness be your attitude, it is your character if you have the Holy Spirit (. . . for by their fruits . . .)

* remember your first character and nature which is LOVE (God is love), therefore love!

Many cannot interpret the call to be steady

Revelation 22:11-12

"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to his work.

It is better to decide where you stand and remain there, only when you are planted in a place can you grow.

Seeds flying around do not germinate, they have to be buried in a place!

Remember, the more you look everywhere, the easier it will be to fall.

But . . .

Hebrews 12:13

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

How is your immediate family, does God rule there?

What is your name . . .. do you bear a good testimony at work, home and in other places?

Do you still tell others about Jesus and do you encourage the brethren? What floods your media space?

Why not pray now, yes now!

I see us finishing strong and receiving good commendations from God.

May we be deeply established in God.

We will be fruitful.

O help us Good Lord.

PRAYER

Loving Father keep me and mine standing strong at these times. Let Your power be revealed on all of Yours all over the world that we may all stand strong and many good hearted ones lost will find their way to You. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.

He calls us blessed.

Love

@the watcher.
