We live in an hour where we must be more discerning than we have ever been. The enemy has many plots and schemes in the last days that are assigned to wage war against your walk with God. The enemy’s primary goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. Once you can discern how the enemy operates then you will become more effective in overthrowing his battle strategies against your life.
The word father means the ability to impart life. The heart of God has never been and will never be to give you some type of generic faith. He desires to impart His life into you which carries an authentic transforming faith. The Word of God reveals that God desires to give you the gift of faith.
Signs of the times are happening at a rapid pace in the earth as there is great spiritual turbulence. One thing that must remain intact and extremely healthy is your faith. It is imperative to believe God for great and powerful things no matter what is happening around you. You are called to fight the good fight of faith and finish the race. One day you will stand before God and give an account for your life and then receive a crown that He will place on your head and then you will place it at His feet.
Praise must become a lifestyle of communication with God. The atmosphere of your life should not determine your praise because every atmosphere is a perfect time to praise God. When things are going great we must praise Him. When things are hitting our lives from every angle we must praise Him. We must praise Him in the midst of peace and praise Him in the middle of spiritual warfare. There is never a time that it is not a good time to give God praise! Praise is a constant dependable spiritual weapon that brings a supernatural shift to any atmosphere. Take a moment and meditate on some of these verses about praise.
One of the quickest ways to lose a battle on the spiritual battlefield is to fail to praise God. Hell cannot stand the sound of praise because it magnifies the Lord and shrinks your perspective of the devil. Praise celebrates how big and powerful God is while dwarfing the power of the enemy. Take a moment to meditate on these powerful verses on praise.
The spiritual hour is late and we cannot be moved by what we see with natural eyes. Your eyes can lie to you because they do not take into consideration the power of God that is available in the invisible realm. God wants you to be moved by the mountain-moving faith that He has deposited on the inside of every blood-bought believer in Jesus Christ.
We must be careful what words we allow to come out of our mouths. Death and life is in the power of your tongue. Imagine your tongue being a spiritual weapon that can create an atmosphere where angels of heaven have taken flight on your behalf. On the contrary, imagine your tongue being a spiritual weapon that can create an atmosphere where the demonic forces of hell attempt to surround your language. You can create and destroy spiritual atmospheres with the power of your words.
We live in an hour where there is a death culture running ramped in earth. Many things we see on the news or social media are marked by death. People even talk like they are dying. Their dreams and vision for the future are dying. We are seeing dead churches. Businesses seem to be dying in the economic downturns. Marriages and family relationships are dying. The freedom we once knew as Americans seems to be dying as laws are being passed and social media censorship is on the rise. You must never forget that hell’s plan in John 10:10 seems to be running ramped inside and outside of the church and that plan is to kill, steal and destroy! You must never settle for death tactics of the enemy when you have Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life living inside of you.
What a glorious day it will be when the trumpet of God sounds and Jesus cracks clouds to return for His people. When this day occurs there will be no way to return to the earth and accomplish all that we wanted to do to advance the kingdom of God. Every opportunity that we had to win souls for Christ will be completely over. Whatever we have done for the Kingdom of God up to that point is established for eternity. Are you living your life like Jesus Christ is going to sound the trumpet soon?
Those who have discernment can clearly see that rapid endtime signs are coming up on the earth. Eschatology which is the study of Bible prophecy and endtime events is almost a forgotten topic in many churches across America. One of the keys to maintaining urgency for the return of Jesus Christ is to make sure that Bible prophecy and endtime events are at the forefront of every believer’s mind. There are a lot of faulty beliefs that consistently push out the season of the return of Jesus Christ to another generation or people have simply stopped believing in it. God is calling His church to be sober and vigilant living a lifestyle that is ready to escape the wrath to come on this earth and look for the glorious return of Jesus Christ.
