The World that we are living in has changed over the last year and has changed drastically over the past few years and when I think of how much it has changed since my children were small and I was small, it makes me pause!
I was born three years after Pearl Harbor was bombed! World War Two ended when I was 4 days from reaching one year. I have lived through the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy, among others.
I have lived to see the bombings in Oklahoma City, of the Twin Towers and Columbine School shooting to name a few.
I have seen Polio and Measles and Mumps get defeated and technology race far ahead of anything my parents could have conceived.
But God has always had a people! A people who prays, and advocates against sin and a people who are willing to go the extra mile to help others. God has always had a people who will not bow to the wrong but stand up for the right!
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Evil is abounding all around us, but God has a people! A people who Loves each other, intercede for our Nation, Families, and Churches!
God has a people who fight the battle not only in the Spirit but in a tangible way as they advocate for Christian values.
God always has an Army of souled out, fired up, dedicated people!
On one hand the enemy wraps himself in lies and deception and comes as an angel of light but is really a devil in darkness!
2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV)
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
On the other hand, the enemy comes as a roaring lion making us think he has power and is going to destroy us!
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The deception of satan is the reason so much of our world is blinded to the truth!
“BUT GOD HAS A PEOPLE!”
God has the elderly person who is fighting the battle in the Spirit world as she sends up her petitions and praise to Almighty God. He has the housewife who is lifting up needs as she does her housework and lovingly cares for her family while reaching out to the lost in her part of the world, maybe with food, clothes, and the Gospel.
God has the parent who is objecting to the new curriculum as she checks out the things her kids are learning in school. God has the professional in the workplace who stands our because he or she stand for right and do not gossip or cheat or short cut their work!
God has Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, Business Owners, etc. who are still standing for the right and understand that we are the victorious ones!
“GOD HAS A PEOPLE!”
Titus 2:14 (KJV)
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Though it may look bleak when you look at all that is going on around you, look up, look to the one who made Heaven and Earth and look at those you know trust in the God of the Universe!
Psalm 62:8 (KJV)
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
We must speak up and act, but the most powerful and evil defeating thing we can do is wage war in the Spirit world through prayer and that is something we can do anywhere at any time!
We are not alone: God has a people who love Him and are doing battle one way or the other!
I encourage you if you have been reduced to despair by all the evil around, know that God has a People, a Mighty Army all over the world!

Father, in JESUS name I come! I thank you that you have people all over the world who are standing for right no matter the consequence! I ask you to encourage each one who reads this not to despair, to trust, pray and show love to all they encounter! Fill each of us with your agape love! Amen
Love, MeMaw
