=== Stand Firm for Righteousness (02:26) ===

[00:00:00]  You've watched these that they kind of compromise.
[00:00:03]  If you'll compromise a little, you'll compromise a lot.
[00:00:06]  And we're not going to let them move us.
[00:00:08]  Remember, they beat up the disciples and told them, don't you ever preach or teach again in the name of Jesus.
[00:00:12]  And they went out, started preaching, teaching.
[00:00:15]  Don't give in, don't give up.
[00:00:16]  Here's what the Bible says.
[00:00:18]  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.
[00:00:26]  Hang on now.
[00:00:27]  I'm telling you, we're in a little period of time called the until.
[00:00:32]  And God is about to intervene.
[00:00:34]  And when God intervenes, things swiftly change.
[00:00:37]  And that's what's going to happen.
[00:00:38]  And so stay faithful to God.
[00:00:40]  Stay faithful to the word of God.
[00:00:41]  Stay faithful in prayer.
[00:00:43]  Here it says, let us not grow weary in well-doing.
[00:00:47]  We will reap if we faint not.
[00:00:49]  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.
[00:00:58]  Say, wear out.
[00:00:59]  Wear out.
[00:01:00]  Most of the saints of God you know of are going through that kind of a process.
[00:01:03]  There's been such a struggle till the devil's trying to wear them out.
[00:01:07]  But let us not grow weary and well-doing.
[00:01:08]  We're going to reap if we faint not.
[00:01:10]  We're not going to faint.
[00:01:11]  Here's what we're going to do.
[00:01:12]  It's Isaiah, what, 30?
[00:01:14]  Have you not heard?
[00:01:15]  Didn't you get the memo?
[00:01:16]  The everlasting God's not weary.
[00:01:18]  They that wait upon the Lord will what?
[00:01:20]  Renew.
[00:01:20]  They will renew their strength.
[00:01:22]  They'll manifest wings as eagles.
[00:01:23]  They'll run and not be weary.
[00:01:24]  They'll walk and not faint.
[00:01:26]  We're about to get a spiritual charge here.
[00:01:28]  You understand?
[00:01:29]  We're about to get our second win, so to speak.
[00:01:32]  Because listen, this is it.
[00:01:35]  This is it.
[00:01:35]  This is not warm-up.
[00:01:36]  We have got to take a stand, a real stand for righteousness.
[00:01:40]  And God's going to do it for us.
[00:01:42]  Remember in Nehemiah's day, they had to build in battle at the same time.
[00:01:45]  That's right.
[00:01:45]  And that's what we got to do.
[00:01:46]  We've got to build in battle.
[00:01:47]  But I think sometimes we're like Gideon was in the book of Judges.
[00:01:52]  There's a war going on, and Gideon's down in a wine vat.
[00:01:56]  He's sifting some wheat down there.
[00:01:57]  That ain't where you do that stuff.
[00:01:58]  You get out on a mountainside to blow the chaff away.
[00:02:01]  But here's what happened.
[00:02:02]  It said that the Almighty God said, hello there, you victorious warrior.
[00:02:06]  And what does Gideon say?
[00:02:07]  Yeah, you must be mistaken.
[00:02:09]  I'm from the tribe of Manasseh.
[00:02:10]  Manasseh is the smallest tribe in all Israel, and I'm the wussiest one in my family.

=== Seeking Christ's Sufficiency (02:47) ===

[00:02:14]  That's basically what he said, if you read it.
[00:02:16]  We got to quit underestimating who God is in us.
[00:02:19]  You understand that?
[00:02:21]  Yes, we do have to understand.
[00:02:23]  You're right.
[00:02:23]  Stop underestimating.
[00:02:24]  We cannot be stopped.
[00:02:26]  Right.
[00:02:27]  Unless we just give up and give in.
[00:02:29]  We're not going to do it.
[00:02:31]  Oh, I like that.
[00:02:33]  I do too.
[00:02:34]  I was just reading about Gideon yesterday morning as you bring him.
[00:02:38]  And you're so right what he was saying.
[00:02:40]  So fascinating.
[00:02:41]  I'm fascinated how it ended.
[00:02:42]  It said, and God clothed Gideon with God.
[00:02:45]  Yes.
[00:02:47]  And that's what you and I need to do, that knowing what a critical hour it is.
[00:02:50]  We're to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the lusts of the flesh.
[00:02:55]  You know, you also, I just got it.
[00:02:56]  It's gotten a question, but I know you also talk about how we're to put on the armor of God each day.
[00:03:02]  I want to hear your teaching.
[00:03:04]  People asked me, they said, how do you seek the Lord?
[00:03:06]  Number one, Matthew 6, 6 says, get in the quietest room of your house, shut the door.
[00:03:13]  The Lord pointed his finger at me once about seeking the Lord.
[00:03:16]  He said, hey, you tell my people, when it comes to seeking me, I detest multitasking.
[00:03:21]  Whoa, you'll find me when you search for me and seek for me with all your heart.
[00:03:25]  But I think one of the number one weapons we need to put on is a helmet.
[00:03:30]  See, we got to keep our thinking straight.
[00:03:32]  And then we got to put on the helmet of salvation and taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
[00:03:37]  And I'm telling you, it's very capable of cutting asunder.
[00:03:41]  I'm telling you, so we got to seek the Lord.
[00:03:44]  Here's one of the ways I seek him.
[00:03:45]  Now, you'll find out a little bit about that.
[00:03:48]  Get in that secret room, that Matthew 6, 6, quietest room we have, shut the door.
[00:03:52]  And here's what I say.
[00:03:53]  And I mean it.
[00:03:54]  I say, Lord, these are not my hands.
[00:03:56]  They're your hands.
[00:03:58]  See, the Holy Spirit doesn't have hands till you give him yours.
[00:04:00]  I said, These are not my lips, they're yours.
[00:04:02]  And it's yielding yourself to Christ.
[00:04:04]  Yeah, and just yield yourself to him.
[00:04:06]  He'll take everything you offer him.
[00:04:08]  You understand that?
[00:04:09]  And then Paul said it this way: for me to live is Christ.
[00:04:12]  And we need to be so Christ-like.
[00:04:14]  Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, make no provision.
[00:04:17]  He's sufficient for any task, isn't he?
[00:04:19]  He really is.
[00:04:20]  What a time to be alive.
[00:04:22]  Honestly, I wouldn't trade this time for any other time in history.
[00:04:25]  I can prove to you from statistics, it's the most crucial time in human history.
[00:04:29]  I'm talking about for a whole world.
[00:04:31]  And look who God's let live.
[00:04:32]  I said to him, What are you thinking?
[00:04:34]  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.
[00:04:43]  He said, I have found me a generation that's embraced John 15:5.
[00:04:48]  Without me, you can do nothing.
[00:04:51]  But with him, in him, Philippians says, I can do all things through Christ who infuses me with inner strength.
[00:04:57]  I am sufficient in Christ's sufficiencies.
