Be Encouraged

Do not lose hope for FATHER is greater than anything the enemy can dish out.  We are in times of great change and we must not lose hope but instead place our trust solely in Our Heavenly Father’s ability to overcome any device or plan of the enemy.  The created is not nor ever will be greater than The CREATOR.  We as individuals must set ourselves in agreement with FATHER’S plan no matter what circumstances arise.  The enemy is constantly promoting its own agenda over the airwaves but we must not set ourselves in agreement with them.  This is why I believe we must start our day with FATHER’S directives then dwell and meditate on HIS Word.

We should be praying for the deliverance of our respective countries knowing that it is HIS Will to cover the earth with HIS Kingdom.  It is written in 2 Chronicles chapter 7 by THE SPIRIT:

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.

16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

As repentance spreads across the land, our land will be healed.  This is true at the personal level as well as the corporate level for one of the names that describes FATHER’S character is Jehovah Rapha (The Lord That Heals).  HE revealed this aspect of HIS character so that we would know to seek HIM for healing.  The enemy will bring on sickness and disease but FATHER provides the counter measure when the infirmity arises.  Our faith and trust must be built up in these areas and we must stay strong and not allow ourselves to become weak.  Those who exercise to stay fit know that one cannot stop the exercise and maintain the fitness for it you don’t regularly work out, you will begin to lose your strength and stamina in that area.

The remnant (AKA the elect) is the army of THE LORD and is prepared to do battle with the enemy.  In Mark 13 Jesus spoke:

21 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it.

22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.”

And again in Matthew chapter 24:

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 See, I have told you beforehand.”

Jesus warned us of the false message and “great” signs and wonders which would accompany the lies.  We must not allow ourselves to buy in to the current narrative of the enemy.  If we will place our complete hope, faith, and trust in what FATHER is instructing us to do by HIS SPIRIT on a daily basis, we will not fall into this great deception.  HIS SPIRIT is in us so let us yield to the instruction we receive which is squarely in accordance with FATHER’S Plan.  Turn off the TV if you find yourself moved by the constant negativism for it is not from FATHER.  FATHER has installed leaders according to HIS plan so we must not be moved by what the leaders say when it does not agree with FATHER’S directives.  The truth will come out no matter what the intent of the enemy.  Our prayers of agreement with FATHER’S plan assure us of victory in the end.  You can only be deceived if you do not know the Truth from FATHER’S Lips.

In Luke 21 Jesus spoke again about the end times:

25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Jesus warned us of these times so that we would not be caught unaware and unprepared.  However it is up to each of us to maintain our own state of preparedness so that we can and will function in our calling within the army of THE LORD.  Be encouraged because there are men and women all over this earth who are being prepared just like you and me and will respond according to the needs of Our Heavenly Father.

Personal Note:  There are days when I need this encouragement myself for I too must deal with whatever is being thrown at me by the enemy.  The three major attempts on my life by the enemy have been unsuccessful due to the intervention of FATHER.  I have to look back at these attempts of deliverance with great gratitude that FATHER has intervened on my behalf.  We all have a mission and must rely on the fact that HE is Our Deliverer and will not allow the enemy to keep us from our calling.
