Nuggets of the Word

In the book of 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Word of God says, "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

We are on the verge of another move of God, another great awakening. We must repent and turn from our wicked ways. All sin, rebellion, lawlessness, in thoughts, words, and deeds must be repented of and turned away from. We must acknowledge Jesus Christ has the Lord of our lives and count the cost of following Him by living lives that are surrendered to Him (Mark 8:34-38; Luke 14:26-27). The result of turning away from our sin and surrendering to Him will be lives that are committed to obedience to Him as the Lord of our lives. As Christians we must take a stand against sin, evil, and perversion here in America.

We must personally turn away from all sin, unrighteousness and wickedness in our own lives such as evil thoughts and desires, rebelliousness, lawlessness, selfishness, selfish ambitions, self centeredness, stubbornness, arrogance, conceit, pride, sinful attitudes, unforgiveness, resentfulness, bitterness, envy, jealousies, greediness, covetousness, idolatry, lust, malice, uncleanness, filthiness, lewdness, hatred, hypocrisy, deceitfulness, partiality, gossips, boasting, complaining, murmuring, grumbling, slandering, outbursts of wrath, lying, backbiters, strife, dissension, blasphemies, filthy language, obscenities, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, and all forms of sexual immorality, murder, abortion, stealing, contentions, partying, drunkenness, drugs, sorceries, and witchcraft.

The Lord is calling us as believers to humble ourselves and repent of our wicked ways and He will heal our land. However, we must examine ourselves to see where we are at spiritually (2 Cor. 13:5). Are we walk in obedience, living righteous lives in all holiness and godliness by walking before the Lord in love both toward Him and our fellow man? Are we maintaining a good conscience before the Lord or are we coming up short? Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, now let’s look at 2 Cor. 7:1, "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

Now is the time for Christians across America and all over the world to rise up and take a stand and call for true repentance of sin and turning away from all sin. And turning back to God to pursue righteousness, holiness, and godliness.

Jesus said in Mark 3:24-26, "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand will not stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end." Therefore, the Church, the body of Christ must come together in unity to defeat the enemy at work in the world. For far too long we been on the fence on many issues.

Now, it’s time for Christians make a stand for righteousness and godliness in our land and say no to ungodliness and worldly lusts (Titus 2:11-12). Being a Christian is more than just filling a pew. It is time to take a stand on God’s Word, our biblical values and His moral standards and not back down. We must take a stand and not compromise with those who would oppose our views. We must begin to take a stand, speak out with our voice.

We must begin to spend our money more wisely supporting companies who support our biblical values. We must stop supporting those who do not support our biblical values and boycott those who oppose biblical values. We must stand up and say no to retailers such as Nordstrom, Macy’s, Marshall’s, Target, T.J. Maxx, to name a few, and all companies who support anti-Christian  and anti-conservative values. We must stop supporting the filth of Hollywood and companies like Marvel and Disney, and actors and actress, singers who oppose our biblical values. We must boycott the liberal news media in all its forms.

We must come together as the Church, the body of Christ all over the world and say enough is enough. I don’t want your anti-Christian values taught in my schools anymore. Take a stand for biblical Christian values and speak out and let your voice be heard against all unrighteousness and ungodliness in the World. It time for the Church, the body of Christ to rise up in unity and let your voice be heard and stop supporting them financially.

Remember, there are alternatives who support our Christian and conservative values on the market.

The Apostle Paul writes in the book of 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 (NKJV) “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

According to the Apostle Paul, God has given us, the true disciples of Jesus Christ, the victory over death through the promise of eternal life. Due this previous fact, we are to be steadfast, morally fixed and firm, and immovable, always at all times abounding, increasing, excelling, in the work of the Lord. Know that our labor, the work we do for the Lord, is not in vain, empty, and for nothing. Our work, labor, toil, and trouble for which we suffer and get beat up by the hands of sinners and evildoers often time results in weariness.

Rest assured that our labor is not in vain and continue in the work the Lord has called us to do. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the churches of Galatia when he wrote Galatians 6:9-10 saying, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”

Rise up and stand steadfast in the Lord. Let us as true disciples of Jesus Christ not grow weary and faint in doing and performing what is honest, fair, good, and right for all mankind. Do good to all people, that which is morally right, profitable and beneficial, both for sinners and especially for those of the household of faith. For in the proper and due time, appropriate and appointed season we shall reap a harvest limited in this life but completely fulfilled at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:9-11).
