Brothers and sisters, this is not the time to faint and give up. This is not the time to start believing the “fake news” – the prophets of Baal. This is not the time to grow weary but to stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

Galatians 6:9 (KJV) ⁹  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

This is the time to rise up and keep believing what God has already said. 

2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV) ²⁰  … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Amos 3:7 (KJV) ⁷  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

1 Chronicles 16:22 (KJV) ²²  Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Always check out everything you hear by the Word of God and by the witness in your spirit. That way you can guard your heart from deception.

We who are born-again, Spirit-filled Christians need to show forth our faith. The unsaved world is watching us. This is not the time to give up. It doesn’t take any effort to quit and give up. But it does take effort and diligence to stand firm on what we believe – God’s Word.

In II Chron. 20:20-24 when Jehoshaphat sent the praisers out ahead of the army, the Lord set ambushments against the enemy and they turned on each other and destroyed themselves.

We need to keep praising God and watch for the manifestation of the victory right before our eyes. These obstacles are just a blip on the road to victory – and we win!

God isn’t moved off His throne because of the current distress and neither should we be moved from our stand of faith! Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom has sparked a holy boldness in people like never before!  

Let’s keep things in perspective and laugh with the Lord! The Great Awakening is on!

Psalm 2:1-4 (KJV) ¹  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? ²  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, ³  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Psalm 37:12-13 (KJV) ¹²  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
¹³  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV) ¹⁰   There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on in the world today, there are a lot of people saying a lot of things – some good and a lot bad. How do you know who is right? How do we guard our hearts from being deceived when something seems to be so right? Good questions.

The short answer is:

1 – ask yourself what the Word of God has to say about it and –

2 – what do you witness in your spirit?

God always provides a way for you to know what is true and what is false but you have to set your heart to hear from Him.

Listen to what Jesus said:

John 10:4-5 (KJV) ⁴  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
⁵  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

John 10:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:27 (KJV) ²⁷  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Jesus said that His sheep know His voice but does that include you or are you still puzzled about actually hearing the voice of the Lord? Too many people are puzzled or don’t even know that it’s possible to hear from the Lord for themselves. This is not God’s plan for us.

So, how do we know that we’re hearing the Lord’s voice – our Good Shepherd – and not a wrong voice of the enemy?

First of all, we have to believe what Jesus said – that we can and do know His voice. If you start out on the wrong premise, you’ll never get to your goal. Never, never, never say that you don’t hear from the Lord or that He doesn’t speak to you! He’s constantly speaking to us but with all the clutter around us, it makes it hard to discern what we’re hearing.

You have to set your heart to know that you can hear the Lord’s voice. Make that determination and stick to it. God hasn’t lied to you. If Jesus said that you can hear His voice, then you can!

Romans 4:17b (KJV) ¹⁷  …  and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Speak forth what you want, not what you have. Just like you have to call for your healing, you have to call for God’s Word to manifest in your life. Time is too short for us to float along and hope that things work out. We have to be on our guard 24/7 because the enemy is looking for whom he may devour. We need to be the “may nots!”

And remember to:

1 –  Check God’s Word against everything you hear plus the witness in your spirit. If it doesn’t agree with the Word of God, reject it.

2 – If you don’t witness to it, reject it or put it on the shelf.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

2 Peter 3:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Revelation 3:11 (KJV) ¹¹  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Ephesians 4:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

It doesn’t take much to notice all the deception that’s being perpetrated against us as a nation. We’re getting it from all sides – especially the fake news media, who only reports what they want, whether or not it’s true! But, as you know, it hasn’t always been that way.

So, what can we do or what should we do to guard our hearts against all the deception around us? Well, you probably know what I’m about to say, if you’ve been reading my blogs for any length of time: what does the Word of God say and what do you witness to in your spirit?

Brothers and sisters, now more than ever, God’s Word has to be the benchmark from which we measure everything in our lives. We are not to ignorantly and naively believe everything everyone says. The only TRUTH is: what does God say!

2 Timothy 3:13 (KJV) ¹³  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

God’s Word tells us that evil people will keep deceiving and getting very skilled at it. Only by the Lord’s discernment will we be able to rightly divide what we hear.

 1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV) ³³  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

We know that if we hang out with the wrong people, we will become like them – thinking, believing, and acting. But what about hanging out with the fake news media and believing what they’re saying? What about reading books that contradict God’s Word? And of course, what about your “friends” who believe things contrary to God’s Word? Don’t think that these things won’t influence you; they will but not for good.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) ²³  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Proverbs 4:23 (AMP) ²³  Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

God strongly commands us to guard our hearts – what we put in by hearing, seeing, and thinking. What we put into or allow to get into our hearts is what will come out. And this, my dear friends, is what’s important in times of crisis. You don’t want the world’s evil thoughts to come forth when you’re believing for a breakthrough from God.

This is so serious. We need to be on guard 24/7, guarding what we let through to our hearts. Perhaps we need to change the channel more often! If the news upsets you, turn it off! You’ll get the main points along the line.

I know people, Christians, who are terribly affected by the news. This can even lead to physical ailments. We need to be very cautious!

I’ll leave you with this: check out everything you hear and see against the Word of God and listen to your spirit. If it doesn’t line up, reject it or put it on the shelf. If we sincerely want to know the truth, God will show us. You can count on it!

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) ⁷  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Matthew 24:11 (KJV) ¹¹  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

It’s not enough to just know that you have spiritual authority in this world, you need to know how to use it. Let’s review what we have taught so far.

We have the Word of God, the Name of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit. We also know that we are the ones who must exercise our authority and resist the devil and he will flee. We also have all the promises of God to undergird us and the armor of God to further equip us.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV) ¹¹  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

So, how do we use these weapons God has given us? Simply by doing what He has told us to do.

John 14:12 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Matthew 10:8 (KJV) ⁸  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Too many times Christians pray and don’t expect results. I know that sounds counterproductive but I’ve seen it happen many times. They pray because they know that’s what they’re to do but never expect to get results. That shouldn’t be. They should get into the Word and build their faith so that they can believe His Word and get their desired results.

Jesus told us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. And just how are we to do that? By using our spiritual authority and the name of Jesus! We need to speak to the mountains in our lives and command them to go. All of God’s promises are voice activated. We can’t just hope everything will work out. We need to SPEAK to the circumstances in Jesus’ name and command them to line up with the Word of God.

And another thing: we have authority over the weather! I think I just lost some of you right here but it’s true nonetheless. We can command the weather to be obedient to God’s Word.

Psalm 148:7-10 (KJV) ⁷  Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: ⁸  Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: ⁹  Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:¹⁰  Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

This really works but you have to speak forth God’s Word in faith. We have authority over our part of the world and it will respond to faith because faith created it!

Genesis 1:28 (KJV) ²⁸  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Remember the dominion mandate that God gave Adam. We have that too and we need to exercise it. We are the ones with spiritual authority from God and if it’s going to get done, we have to do it. We don’t have authority over the entire world, just our part. If everyone would do their part, things would be a whole lot better! [Note: We have authority over the earth, but not people. That’s witchcraft to try to control people. We need to bind the evil spirits that are influencing people to do evil.]

Jesus defeated and paralyzed satan and now we need to occupy and defend that defeat. That’s our part. Jesus already did His part; we need to do our part. He’s coming back for a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle and we need to be ready!

Ephesians 5:27 (KJV) ²⁷  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

 Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)

It’s not a question of whether or not we need spiritual weapons. It’s a necessity if we want to survive on planet earth in these end times!

Let’s discuss some of the spiritual weaponry God has given us to be overcomers. We’ll start with His Word.

Romans 1:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Word of God is our most foundational weapon against the wiles of the devil. God’s Word has every answer we’ll ever need and it works every time. But, it has to be accompanied by faith. Just quoting God’s Word won’t get you the desired results, if it’s not mixed with faith. But, when it’s mixed with faith, it has dynamite power to accomplish whatever is needed.

Of course, in order to speak God’s Word into the situation, you must know God’s Word, and that takes time, effort, and diligence. Then when you come up against a situation, God’s Word will come up out of your spirit to handle the problem.

Philippians 2:9-10 (KJV) ⁹  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Next, I want to look at the Name of Jesus. His name is above every name that is named and everything has a name: cancer, drug addiction, diabetes, mental and emotional issues, poverty, lack, etc. Everything that has a name has to bow to the name of Jesus, if we command it in faith. There’s that faith again!

So, what is this faith that is so necessary for everything to work? Simply put, faith is believing that what God has said is true and then acting on that. And as Andrew Wommack says, “Faith is our positive response to what God has already given us by His grace.” Faith is agreeing with God and His Word!

What we see is that in order for God’s Word to work on our behalf, we must use our faith and believe that what He has said is true and then take Him at His Word. It’s really not hard but “religion” has made it seem nearly impossible.

We’ll continue on spiritual weaponry next time.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

James 4:7 (KJV) ⁷  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
