Do you remember reading this from Ecclesiastes 1:9:
9 The thing that has been—it is what will be again, and that which has been done is that which will be done again; and there is nothing new under the sun.
This is TRUTH! The enemy is still operating in exactly the same way that he has operated since he was cast out of Heaven! Look at this from today's reading in Psalm 82:5:
5 [The magistrates and judges] know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in the darkness [of complacent satisfaction]; all the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles upon which rests the administration of justice] are shaking.
That is a statement that is as true of our world today as it was when the psalmist wrote it! It is true of a very many of those who are in positions of power in our own nation, and of those who are seeking power! What is a born again, Bible believing believer supposed to do in such a time? We are to draw near to HIM as never before! Jesus said that His sheep hear and know His voice (John 10:27)! Being filled with the Spirit of God is essential to consistently hearing clearly. We must turn off the voices of the world AND the church and be led by Holy Spirit alone! If every believer does this, then the God of the Bible will be able to operate supernaturally to affect a great and necessary change, so that the Gospel can continue to be spread unhindered! Many believers are being led by a "word" from someone claiming to be a prophet of God. The problem here is that there are many proclaiming things that are entirely different from each other. God is NOT a God of chaos, but of order! The simple solution is to be led individually by Holy Spirit, no matter what anyone else is saying! HE will lead us according to the will of God! Have confidence that YOU hear. Exercise your hearing from Him on a daily basis and keep a journal of all that He is telling you. Your faith and confidence will grow and you will be able to be single minded in your obedience to Him! Whatever the outcome in the world and in our nation, our obedience to HIM will be rewarded with protection, provision and safety! COUNT ON IT! Amen! Here is Hillsong United with "Take Heart":
Shalom in Him!
