Doing it Again, My HOPE

Walking around these walls
I thought by now they'd fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle's won
For You have never failed me yet

Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet

I know the night won't last
Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again
Jesus, You're still enough
Keep me within Your love
My heart will sing Your praise again

Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed

Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed me yet

- Do it Again 
  Elevation Worship

This is certainly one of my favorite praise and worship songs.  This morning I woke up to it playing in my head.

It's so easy to be discouraged and disappointed in this world these days.  The true Church is under persistant attack, Christian owned businesses are under persistent attacks.  Perversion of what God established concerning men and women is being pushed to all society.
Children are being forced to study Islamic law in Anerican Public schools yet are forbidden to study Christianity.

Why is it getting worse?  Will this night ever pass?  Yes, it will.  As the song says. His Word will come to pass.

Consider, my dear readers, that very small, but immensely important phrase.

His Words will come to pass.

Read it again.  His Word will come to pass.

Your promise still stands.
Great is your faithfulness.
I'm still in your hands.

Readers...where else could you possibly be the safest?   The enemy of God can try and try to break even the smallest of the parts of God's Word but he will fail.  He will try to cause doubt. He will try to make you see failure where there was none.

He will drive you to your knees. 
However, that too is in your favor.
You are in the perfect place to call out to your Savior.   The Battle belongs to the Lord.  Satan will grin in victory until he hears your 'Amen' at the end.

In our uncertain times, do not give up hope.   You see, there's a very big reason why all this stuff is happening.  Jesus foretold what these days would be like and they are happening.  Paul, Peter wrote by way of the Holy Spirit what these days would be like.  John, in Revelation wrote of what the beginning of the Tribulation would be like.  Daniel, Ezekiel, others in the Old Testament, through the hands of the Spirit's leading, wrote of these days. Our days.

This world is being prepared for the return of Christ. 

Jesus is coming soon.

Satan knows it. He knows it. But as much as he hates it, he is subject to the rule and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He is and has been crafting rebellion against the rule and authority of God.  Artificial intelligence is his creation to force and enforce his rule on this planet once the Holy Spirit steps aside after the Rapture of the Church and the Tribulation begins.

He is trying to wear down the true Church. 
He is trying to water down Christianity so that it will accept worldly ideas.  Those are the doctrines of demons that Scripture warns about. 

What he cannot combat is prayer.
He has no defense against prayer.
He cannot hear the prayers of believers.
He cannot read the minds of believers.
He knows not what you bring before the Throne of God.
While we are on the subject.

Satan is predictable.
He only does what has worked in the past.
He isn't creative. 
He is a liar and the father of lies.
He is a spirit being.  A fallen angel.
He disguises himself as an angel of light.
He deceives.
He cares not how many end up in torment in Hell because he isn't there.  Satan isn't ruling from Hell. No matter what you read in mythology.  Scripture says he roams around like a roaring lion.  Imitation of God.  Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.  So he imitates Jesus.  Jesus is the light of the World.  So he imitates the light. He wants all the praise and worship.

Know your enemy is the first rule of combat.  Use your enemies supplies against him is a close second.

We are in a Spiritual war.  This war is escalating.  The earth isn't going through global warming.  It's being prepared for a 7 year Tribulation that will be full of the Judgements of God upon mankind and the Earth. 

I know where I am spending eternity.
Do you? 

He made a way when there was no way.

That line from that song.  That was His earthly ministry.  He was born of a virgin one Holy night in the little town of Bethlehem.  He came, He lived to obey the Father's will. He was crucified on a cross for all the sin of mankind.  Even those who would reject Him.  God the Father granted Jesus the authority to lay down His life and to take it up again.  He arose 3 days later. Took everyone who was in the 'good' side of Sheole to Heaven to be with Him.  We await the day of His return to take those who have died in Christ as well as we who are alive at His return.

It's coming.  Keep the faith my dear readers.  Keep the faith.

"Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet"

And take heart...He never will fail you.
The night will end.  Jesus will always triumph.  His Will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
