We must keep praying and trusting God as we continue to study, believe and obey His Holy Word, then our prevailing faith will triumph over prevailing evil! Yes, trials, setbacks, disappointments, hardships and suffering will come, but as we trust God to give us His strength to endure them, our prevailing faith matures! It is then that our prevailing faith stands out starkly as a backdrop over prevailing evil and the sins of this world!

Although most of us don't handle waiting very well because many of us are impatient, there are times in our lives when we are forced to wait for the things we want or even need. We don't like to wait! Waiting is often a part of God's plan rather than just a pause in our plan. God tells us in Isaiah 40:31, those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Those who wait on the Lord, He gives "New Strength" to soar high into His anointing with profound strength and His glory!

As genuine Christians, we are not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are not only proclaiming the Word of God without shame, but we are applying it to our lives and showing we believe these truths through precepts, deeds, conversations, and a consecrated life honoring God. Our lives testify that God lives in us and His love is radiating through us to everyone in our sphere of influence and they can see that we are walking with Jesus! I am not "Ashamed!"

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or understanding. Ignorant people are either unaware or uninformed. Sometimes we are Ignorant because we just didn't know we needed to know something. Other times, we are Ignorant because we have chosen not to understand or to see something we needed to know. Willfully rejecting knowledge that God has readily made available is sinful Ignorance. Recently America has experienced a vicious attack on our U.S. Congress, the Nation's Capitol and our Constitutional process because of Trafic Ignorance!

There's a lot of anxiety, fear and concerns after the insurrection by a vicious mob attacks on the nation's capitol last week. There is growing concern and fear about the potential of future attacks on state capitols throughout the country in the next week or so, but we don't have to be worried! Jesus promises to give us His peace if we delight in Him and keep our minds on Him! Jesus doesn't want us to be weighed down with cares, anxiety and fear! He wants us to give it all to Him and He will do what is best to fix these things!

Just like the Lord warned Jerusalem through His servant, Ezekiel, in chapter 21:19-23, God is warning America. America is at "A Fork In The Road". We have to decide which road to take to move our country forward together or further divide the country! We all must decide to either be a part of the solution or a part of the problem. The choice is yours, what will you decide?

It is clear that Jesus expects us to treat others in the same way we desire to be treated. This belief is known as the "Golden Rule". Today our democracy was attacked and put on full display to the world. Every culture has its own mores and social customs. Part of treating others as we wish to be treated is to honor those customs so as not to offend, infringe upon the rights of others, to harm or disrespect others in the process. If we ask God for help, He will certainly help us to forgive and not hold grudges when we have been wronged or hurt by others. Let's practice the "Golden Rule"!

As we embark upon this new year, there is joy, excitement, apprehensiveness, uncertainty and even fear! Yes, many people are fearful as they approach the unknown in the new year! Fear is real, but God is also real! God is bigger than fear! Fear can paralyze! It can be a powerful force in our lives. No matter what we are facing, God remains in control! He sees and knows all things! He also knows what is best for us, so we can trust Him without fear!

Many of you have been experiencing ruthless attacks on your finances, health, peace of mind, your ministry, your goals, or in your relationships! But "don't abort the mission" because of the problems, difficulties, troubles, or hardships you are facing! Don't be surprised at the painful trials your are suffering right now for righteousness sake! Be glad to suffer for Christ! Count it all joy that God trusted you enough to handle "The Mission"! Don't Abort the Mission!

As we approach the end of another year, God is calling out to His people, to "Come Out!" It is most fitting that as we prepare to wind down another year, we take time to clean up or dispose of those things that are not aligning with the will of God as we go forth into the new year! The principle in Revelation 18:4 concerns separation from evil by God's people! God is calling His people to "Come Out" from her, the sins of mystical Babylon!
