Our
struggles in the spirit realm have spilled over into our physical
world and invariable affect our way of life. It is a serious matter
for a person, a community or nation to exclude God from their daily
life. That is exactly what has transpired in many nations including
the United States. God has been legislated out of our schools,
governments and public arenas. It is there that truth and justice
should be promoted and encouraged. We have allowed our leaders to
prohibit the mention of God in all our public places and then wonder
why is our world in such a mess. We have excluded God and He has left
us to our own devices and the consequences of governing in the flesh.
The
devil has silently done his work. We did not recognize the evil he
intended and unwittingly became a partaker of his evil scheme. But we
cannot go silently into the night. Even at this late hour we must
draw attention to the evil and avarice in this world. We must take a
stand for truth and righteousness.
Matt.
5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are
in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
What
has happened to the light? Where are God’s Champions for Truth and
Righteousness? Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to
write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to
write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for
the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Instead of
being separated from the world to be a light to the world, the world
has been assimilated into the churches. When we rely more on the
planning and production models that we have observed in the world
than on the revelation and anointing of the Holy Spirit, how can we
expect people to be enlightened and changed. Can we really expect
lives to be convicted of sin and changed in repentance and
regeneration without the leading and anointing of the Holy Spirit?
Why
do we fall back on the planning and production models of the world?
Because it is the easy route. With the abundance of resources
available on the internet, almost anyone can develop their own
program or plan. However, for revelation and the anointing of the
Holy Ghost we have to go to God’s Word. Take time to be alone with
God and His Word. We have to bury our faces into the carpet on the
floor and cry out to God with every thing that is within us and
fervently seek God to send His fire among us to address the needs of
His People. That requires much more of an investment. That investment
is us, all of us, every fiber in our very being. Nothing can be held
back because we know that God requires all if we are to have His
approval.
Spiritual
darkness has come upon this world like a spiritual tsunami. We must
actively and purposefully push back against that darkness. We must
bombard heaven in intercessory prayer and push back against these powers of darkness in the power of the Holy Ghost. “Ye are the
light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
Let His Beacon of Light shine brightly through your vessel!
