Time Text
Stand Firm for Righteousness 00:02:26
You've watched these that they kind of compromise.
If you'll compromise a little, you'll compromise a lot.
And we're not going to let them move us.
Remember, they beat up the disciples and told them, don't you ever preach or teach again in the name of Jesus.
And they went out, started preaching, teaching.
Don't give in, don't give up.
Here's what the Bible says.
It says the evil forces ruled and rage until, until the ancient of days stood and rendered a verdict in behalf of the saints of God.
Hang on now.
I'm telling you, we're in a little period of time called the until.
And God is about to intervene.
And when God intervenes, things swiftly change.
And that's what's going to happen.
And so stay faithful to God.
Stay faithful to the word of God.
Stay faithful in prayer.
Here it says, let us not grow weary in well-doing.
We will reap if we faint not.
And the Bible said in the book of Daniel, Daniel says, seven said that the evil forces wanted to rule and rage in such a way and wear out the saints of God.
Say, wear out.
Wear out.
Most of the saints of God you know of are going through that kind of a process.
There's been such a struggle till the devil's trying to wear them out.
But let us not grow weary and well-doing.
We're going to reap if we faint not.
We're not going to faint.
Here's what we're going to do.
It's Isaiah, what, 30?
Have you not heard?
Didn't you get the memo?
The everlasting God's not weary.
They that wait upon the Lord will what?
Renew.
They will renew their strength.
They'll manifest wings as eagles.
They'll run and not be weary.
They'll walk and not faint.
We're about to get a spiritual charge here.
You understand?
We're about to get our second win, so to speak.
Because listen, this is it.
This is it.
This is not warm-up.
We have got to take a stand, a real stand for righteousness.
And God's going to do it for us.
Remember in Nehemiah's day, they had to build in battle at the same time.
That's right.
And that's what we got to do.
We've got to build in battle.
But I think sometimes we're like Gideon was in the book of Judges.
There's a war going on, and Gideon's down in a wine vat.
He's sifting some wheat down there.
That ain't where you do that stuff.
You get out on a mountainside to blow the chaff away.
But here's what happened.
It said that the Almighty God said, hello there, you victorious warrior.
And what does Gideon say?
Yeah, you must be mistaken.
I'm from the tribe of Manasseh.
Manasseh is the smallest tribe in all Israel, and I'm the wussiest one in my family.
Seeking Christ's Sufficiency 00:02:47
That's basically what he said, if you read it.
We got to quit underestimating who God is in us.
You understand that?
Yes, we do have to understand.
You're right.
Stop underestimating.
We cannot be stopped.
Right.
Unless we just give up and give in.
We're not going to do it.
Oh, I like that.
I do too.
I was just reading about Gideon yesterday morning as you bring him.
And you're so right what he was saying.
So fascinating.
I'm fascinated how it ended.
It said, and God clothed Gideon with God.
Yes.
And that's what you and I need to do, that knowing what a critical hour it is.
We're to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the lusts of the flesh.
You know, you also, I just got it.
It's gotten a question, but I know you also talk about how we're to put on the armor of God each day.
I want to hear your teaching.
People asked me, they said, how do you seek the Lord?
Number one, Matthew 6, 6 says, get in the quietest room of your house, shut the door.
The Lord pointed his finger at me once about seeking the Lord.
He said, hey, you tell my people, when it comes to seeking me, I detest multitasking.
Whoa, you'll find me when you search for me and seek for me with all your heart.
But I think one of the number one weapons we need to put on is a helmet.
See, we got to keep our thinking straight.
And then we got to put on the helmet of salvation and taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
And I'm telling you, it's very capable of cutting asunder.
I'm telling you, so we got to seek the Lord.
Here's one of the ways I seek him.
Now, you'll find out a little bit about that.
Get in that secret room, that Matthew 6, 6, quietest room we have, shut the door.
And here's what I say.
And I mean it.
I say, Lord, these are not my hands.
They're your hands.
See, the Holy Spirit doesn't have hands till you give him yours.
I said, These are not my lips, they're yours.
And it's yielding yourself to Christ.
Yeah, and just yield yourself to him.
He'll take everything you offer him.
You understand that?
And then Paul said it this way: for me to live is Christ.
And we need to be so Christ-like.
Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, make no provision.
He's sufficient for any task, isn't he?
He really is.
What a time to be alive.
Honestly, I wouldn't trade this time for any other time in history.
I can prove to you from statistics, it's the most crucial time in human history.
I'm talking about for a whole world.
And look who God's let live.
I said to him, What are you thinking?
And he said, Yes, I finally found me a people weak enough to work in, not weak in character, not weak in morals, not weak in ethics, weak in their own ability.
He said, I have found me a generation that's embraced John 15:5.
Without me, you can do nothing.
But with him, in him, Philippians says, I can do all things through Christ who infuses me with inner strength.
I am sufficient in Christ's sufficiencies.
