“AN ARMY!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 547

October 5, 2021//

Franklin Graham just finished a “GOD LOVES YOU, ROUTE 66 TOUR”! This was in eight cities on the historic route 66 of the United States.

As I looked at updates and photos from each meeting, my heart was encouraged by the hundreds of thousands who attended. There were people of all ages worshipping and honoring God!

Teenagers, children, babies in parents’ arms, elderly were all in the presence of the Spirit of the living God.

When I saw pictures and read of these crusades, I felt like the creator God was giving me a warm long hug. I felt deep within me the Lord God of the universe saying that even though the world system is out of order, His people, who are called by His name are rising up like a mighty army, understanding where the real power is!

As our Pastor has said many times, this is the churches greatest opportunity to rise up in victory and power and confidence of who we are and what our God can do!

Just as David against Goliath, and the Israelites against Egypt and their conquering the land God gave them, we serve a God of Miracles!

We serve one who never fails, is for us and will conquer every difficulty and plan the enemy has for our life as we just follow and obey!

1 Samuel 17:45 (KJV)
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

David had great confidence in the God he served! Do we believe God will fight for us or are we looking at circumstances!

Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Exodus 14:14 (KJV)
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

What an amazing thought. The creator God is concerned about you and will do what is needed to provide Victory for those who Trust in Him.  We need to let God’s promises take root in our heart. Be encouraged that you are not alone and there are many in the army of the Lord God Almighty who are believing, obeying, and trusting in the unfailing power of the Lord of Hosts!

Are we going to be part of that mighty army or are we going to cower in fear at what appears like disaster!

Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Are you catching this? We are on the winning side! Our God is powerful, able, and willing to give us victory in everyway as we come to Him!

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Notice the scripture above says MY PEOPLE! If the people of God (not unbelievers), humble, repent, pray, seek, God will heal their land.

Do we want our land healed? Then we need to humble, repent, pray, seek, and Trust in the Lord with all our hearts.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

We are to live, work and minister through the power of the Love of God flowing through us!

Notice the scripture from Chronicles starts off with the word IF….which leaves an unspoken IF NOT!

May you be encouraged today to join the mighty army rising up all over this great nation, like a bear rising out of hibernation, who are demonstrating with their lives that Our God Can and Our God will fight for good and right.

We Win! Do not Fear, you are not alone!!
