Time to fire ourselves up dear friends.
We are all for truth, we are all for love, we are all for freedom and we are all for health. We have all these things in common.
We also have a common enemy. Call him by whatever name you like but his hand is evident whenever strife, bitterness, hurt, sickness and death are prevailing.
This enemy has been at working trying his best to drive wedges between us, to get us to focus on the small things we see differently instead of the big things we all believe. Please don’t let him succeed. If in the last year, you have separated from friends or family over political views etc, I encourage you to see that it was by design and not by accident. The same reasons you loved and appreciated them before covid still exist but have been de-emphasized to the point of being forgotten. I encourage you to take the time to remember why they are amazing human beings worthy of your love and friendship.
I encourage you to be a truth seeker in this hour. I am receiving daily reports now from veteran scientists and doctors who are all presenting a different set of facts than the media at large. Increasingly I believe the weight of factual evidence, data etc line up with what these experts are saying and yet they are being silenced by ????
Scripture tells us we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against spiritual beings…
I cannot encourage you enough to fill your homes with worship and praise.
For those who do not know the Lord, let me describe the power of corporate worship. If you have ever attended a large concert of one of your favourite artists, you have surely experienced the energy of these venues. Almost like they are charged with electricity. I think before knowing the Lord, this was the closest thing i had to a spiritual experience of His presence especially in group worship setting.
I now believe that why church gathering are being targeted in the lockdowns is because these weekly times of corporate worship, of praising God release the Kingdom of God with force and the light of His goodness with power. I believe that many only sing and praise the Lord in this setting and so while the lights in heaven have never and will never dim, the light of His Kingdom in this world has dropped dramatically indeed.
We cannot turn down darkness, we must turn up the light.
I encourage you to turn every day into a continuous worship service, one where the Lord is glorified in your thoughts, words and deeds. Speak life and life abundantly, be thankful, be positive and if you know the Lord, sing to Him and adore Him as is His due.
Even scientific studies have shown that time in worship changes our physical and mental well being. So there will be side benefits for you. There will be benefits for your home as this release of light and kingdom pushes back the darkness that is in the world… there will also be impact on your neighbourhoods and even countries.
Wanna see it in scripture?
Psalm 149:6-9King James Version
“6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.”
Rise up saints, take up the weapons of our warfare. Know that in worshipping our Lord, you are taking up the highest level of warfare against the encroaching darkness.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6King James Version
“3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
With love, with great affection, with hope and for His glory.
High Praises of God = When we worship Him in Spirit and Truth… we worship Him according to what the Word of God says about Him. Here is my playlist that we use for this purpose
