"A Call to Arms" Lesson 5

     2Cor.10:4(Amp) says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical (weapons of the flesh and blood), but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds."

     Has the Church lost the Salt required to be a cure for the decay of this nation?  We've remained silent in the face of a demonic spirit, which has built a stronghold in our very presence.  If anyone tried to push students to be transgender or any of the perverted things in public school when I was a child, then that person would have been charged with a crime.  If a parent had done this back then, their child would have been taken.  How is it that today, they not only teach these things, but celebrate doing so openly.

     How have we allowed the enemy to build a home and kingdom, in this Christian nation?  This isn't a Democratic or Republican issue, but is an issue between Righteousness and evil.  Many immature believers today will say, "God works all these things for His Good."  Many believe that God is allowing the enemy to take over our children and nation.  Mature believers know Heb.5:14(Amp), which says, "But solid is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate  between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law."  No one can say that the things happening in our nation, "are God endorsed and we're to yield too."

     We know that when the Salt has lost its savor, then it is good for nothing.  There are warriors throughout our nation, who are in prayer and standing in the gap for what our God has Blessed us America with.  America didn't become a great nation by her own merits, but by God's Grace, guidance and His Blessing.  We see throughout the Word, how every time God's people were Blessed, they became slack in their walk with Him and allowed the enemy to take over.

    If you feel like it's too late for our country and her people, then read The Book of Hosea, where God's Love and Grace was in place for restoration.  We can't give up praying or voting, because we think it doesn't do any good.  Read Jesus' "Parable of the Sower," realizing that nothing grows without a seed.  We need to sow the seeds of faith and Righteousness, on behalf of our nations, trusting God for the harvest.  If you don't vote, then you're really casting a vote or sowing a seed for the wrong thing and the wrong person.  We are stewards over God's Kingdom and have a responsibility to our Lord, to occupy it until He returns.  

     There are many voices and turmoil n the land today, that desire to drown out the One Voice we're to follow.  I've found that the Father speaks to me on a personal level and I'm sure that if you'll listen, then He'll speak to you as well.  We are His sheep.  All who listen to His Voice, instead of the voice of a stranger, will follow the same lead.  The Good Shepherd won't call half of His herd go one way, while leading the other half somewhere else.  We're told not to follow the voice of a stranger.

     Many today are like those who comforted Job, saying it was "God Who was involved" in his calamities, when it was Job who was responsible for the things befalling him, because he walked in fear and didn't put faith in the sacrifices he made.  Don't allow yourself to get in fear for this nation, but pray and when you pray, pray in the Holy Spirit.  This prayer is faith and will be directed by the Holy Spirit, so that it works exactly where it's needed.

     Only God's Church, through the Authority and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, has the ability to to stop the attack of spiritual force in high and heavenly operatives.  Only God's Church, through the Authority given us by the Authority and Blood of Jesus Christ,  can defeat them.  The unsaved and the world will be moved into the Harvest, by the sweep of the Spirit of God, in this prayer.  We've been slumbering too long, like those God speaks to in Prov.6:9-11(Amp.), saying, "How long will you sleep, o sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? Yes, a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep-So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels, with slowly but surely approaching steps, and your want like an armed man, making you helpless."

     The calamitous things happening in our country, didn't just start, but crept in slowly while we slept.  Now, like an armed man, it has come upon us.  We must walk in the Wisdom and integrity of the covenant.  I know that you and your family, like my own, are standing in the gap, but we must extend our understanding and grow our faith towards those who don't know.  God says in Hosea 4:6(Amp), "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

     We can't be content with just being saved and remain as babies in the Land.  Many have never been taught about God's Blessing, the Redemption of His covenant, the Holy Spirit, the integrity of God's Word, the Power of the Blood, the Authority of the believer given through the Name of Jesus, and so much more that God's Grace has provided through Jesus Christ.  God says that His people "perish for lack of knowledge."  Many in the Church don't know who God has made us to be in this new creation.  These things all belong to us through Jesus, but if someone doesn't know about them or how to function in them, then they can perish for their lack of knowledge.
