"A Call To Arms" Lesson 8

     2Cor.10:4(Amp) says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and  of strongholds."  There is no doubt that the Nation God gave us and His people are both under siege, by a spiritual attack.  Many of God's people refuse to get involved, saying, "We're not of this world, so it's none of our affair."

     God has sent forth His Church into the world, to be the Light and Salt which stops the decay satan has sown.  Perhaps the Lord is weeding out those who will not get involved in this spiritual warfare, much like He did in Gideon's army.  The only Person or thing God's Word instructs us to surrender to, is Jesus Christ.  This is a spiritual war against God and His Kingdom and we, like generations before us, have been called to "having done all to stand, stand therefore."

     We are to put on the Armor that God provides and bring defeat to the "principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places," according to Eph.6.  This Armor is for warfare, by the Power of His Name and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word.  Why don't more Christians put forth a voice against the demonic things befalling the citizens of America.  The murder of unborn children, the perverting our school children, and our being afraid to speak out against the demonic assault of Christians, are spiritual warfare.  Rev.12:11(Amp) tells us, "They overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony."  This is how we overcome too.

     This isn't the politics we've come to know, but is a war of words we've come to accept, by our years in the flesh.  We are still one Nation under God, despite what we might hear and see.  So much of the truth about America's founding and Her purpose on earth for the Lord, has been forgotten and we're not allowed to speak about it.  The Liberty we've been given, doesn't come from our Constitution.  Our Constitution came from God and His Liberty is worth fighting for.

     Have we become so afraid of the world, that we won't stand for our faith in God and fight the good fight?  In the last election, only 42% of the Church voted.  Prayer is one of the greatest weapons we have against the enemy.  God has given us this Land, but like Joshua, we must go forward and possess the Land.  There are still giants in the Land, but God is greater than they are.

     If you haven't voted, then please do and when you do.  Raise your voice for God's Word and pray for Righteousness to be restored in our Land.  Don't vote a party, but vote for "God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven."  Heaven's Laws are still the Law we live by and God's Word is our vote.  Grace and faith in God will overcome.

"A Call To Arms" Lesson 7

      This is not a call for revolution, but for REVIVAL.  It's not about guns and ammo.  2Cor.10:4(Amp) tells us that, "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but they are Mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds."

     God tells Moses in Numb.13:1-2(Amp), "Send men to explore and scout out for yourselves the Land of Canaan, which I give to the Israelites."  God had given the people the Land, but they still had to go forth and take the Land.  They failed to do what God instructed and remained in the Wilderness for another forty years.

     God has given us this nation, the United States of America.  He has heard the prayers of His people, but there is more we must do.  We must prayer for God's Wisdom and then vote.  We sow the seeds of righteousness, when we vote our faith and confidence in God.  In 2Chron.7:14-16(Amp) God says, "IF My people, who are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, pray, (seek, crave and require of necessity) My Face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from Heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their Land. NOW My Eyes will be open and My Ears attentive to prayer offered in this place. For I have chosen and sanctified, (set apart for Holy use), this house (Land), that My Name may be here forever, and My Eyes and My Heart will be here perpetually."

     This Nation was chosen by and for God, to use and rule from and in.  God's people have let go of what God has done for through America and Her influence in the world.  This Nation is and has been, a beacon throughout the world, because of our faith in God.  The Body of Christ must step up and shout, blow the trumpet and defeat the enemy, like Joshua did in Jericho.  Our shout, is the voice of our vote, which will sound the defeat for the enemy.

     We've been taught that we must not "get involved in politics," because "it is worldly."  We are not of this world, but we are still in this world.  We're doing this not for our sake alone, but for the sake of those who are unsaved and for this Nation's children, who are being assaulted by satan's ungodly agenda.  We cannot hide our talents in the ground, but must invest into the Kingdom of God.  God has given us this Land, but we're required to take it.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, so we can't allow the enemy to conquer our inheritance.  God's Church can't be passive, because we're in the Last Days and it's time for the Great Harvest that Jesus spoke about.  We're called to be laborers, leading others to Salvation in Christ Jesus.

     We shouldn't be thinking about the Tribulation, but about the Harvest.  This isn't over, until God says so and He hasn't said so yet.  Satan is trying to destroy America, in his quest to defeat God and His Plan for the world in these Last Days.  Are we going to sit in our little camps and watch God work?  Or, will we take and occupy, until the Lord comes?

     God didn't instruct His people to "be woke," but He said, "Awake."  We've been asleep and comfortable for too long, forgetting who we are and Whose we are.  Rev.12:11(Amp) says, "They overcame by their testimony and the Blood of the Lamb."  The Blood hasn't lost any of it's Power, but our testimony of who we are in Him, has become weak.  Joshua1:6(Amp) says, "Be strong, confident, and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the Land I swore to their fathers to give them."  We're a Joshua generation, called to take and hold this Land for God.
