The devil attacks you on your worst day. Your family, your friends, the people that you are leading can all turn on you when things start going bad. The day before David became king was utter chaos and ruin. His family had been taken from him, his men turned on him to kill him-- but David turned and strengthened himself in the Lord.

We are living in surreal times. People are becoming more and more desperate. Are we living in the end-times and if so, where are we on the timeline? What exactly is going on and what do we need to be doing?

The story behind the Isaiah's prophecy about Jesus being born... We live increasingly in a time when believers who do not stand firm in their faith will not stand at all. The world is searching for what a man fully committed to God looks like when most people have pushed God into the background of their lives.

God starts and moves things with His wind. His wind is the transportation department of Heaven coming from the north, south, east and west, each wind having a distinct purpose on the earth. What is the wind doing? What direction is it blowing from? How is God moving His people in the times we are living in?

The world as we have known it is not the same and the needs of this hour should be pulling on every believer. There is a contention happening over our nation and we have a part to play. The devil has tried to make it look as if there are only bad options. What kind of action does the Lord want from us in this season? 

Every Christian I've spoken with recently is under attack. Do you have a plan to guard yourself against the enemy's attacks? Don't be spiritually unprepared for the battle at your doorstep. By faith, armor up with the protection found in Ephesians 6. And more than that, have a plan to go on the offensive. It is time to win personal battles and take ground from the enemy and his kingdom.  

Is God really in control of everything? Is He responsible for untimely deaths and tragedies? Do we have to wait until heaven to understand why some people go home early? Or are these things we tell ourselves to find relief when our world is going crazy? At some point, we have all asked these questions but have you ever really searched out the answer?

Have you felt the shift? There has been a shift in the judgment and justice of God and He is drawing a line. Which side are you going to fall on... and those you love? God is making distinctions.
