Times are hard, therefore we must work harder. We are in a Spiritual Battle. The battle must be won. Do not grow weary Brethren. We are almost there.

Wherever you may be in your own personal journey from doubt to faith, let me encourage you, keep seeking God.

And I pray that God will lead you to that place where you will learn to trust him no matter what. 

May God help us to learn the beautiful lessons that he has recorded for us in the book of Habakkuk.

If you have seen Him you have seen Me. If you know Him you know Me. Jesus told His disciples in John 14:7, “If you had known Me, you would have known the Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” You want to see God? Get closer to Jesus! He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the beginning and the end. He is the Lion of Judah who is the Lamb of God! He is the rock of our salvation!!!!! Praise the Lord! 

We must must have a goal or a plan in our lives.

That is why we have the word of God.

It gives us guidelines by which we are to live our lives.

There are certain areas of our Christian walk that are totally directed by the word of God and the power of His Holy Spirit.

Listen…we have been given the perfect plan by our Lord. He has laid out the blueprint for our life. That we may remain safe, secure, filled with hope and encouragement…as long as we stay focused and continue to heed to His calling.

We have the divine direction to His safe haven, His place of refuge…He is our Strong Tower.

Just as our loving Father gave directions to Moses that he would lead His people out of bondage into the promise land. He has given directions to us in this day and age.

We are in the last days…the last days of the Book of the Revelation….the last days of the dispensation of God’s grace and mercy.

The Bible clearly speaks of wars that will take place in the end times. And every day we hear about wars, Nuclear weapons, threats made to America and we must take into consideration our weakened government.

I ask you….what kind of defense do we have when several of the most powerful countries in the world team up against the United states of America? Not to mention the we here in America are already making war against ourselves rather than banning together in unity and strength.

In Matthew 24:6-7 Jesus said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples of the earth."

My purpose in this message has been to make us aware of how dangerous and damaging it is for us not to strengthen our belief in Christ and His kingdom while we have the opportunity. It is only as we move forward in Him that we grow from faith to faith. Otherwise we are allowing these areas to weaken our belief and trust in Christ and His kingdom. There is another dark hour that is coming prior to Christ's second coming. Just as the darkness that came over the land during His crucifixion caused many to stumble, the same shall happen in the latter days.

There is a great falling away coming before Jesus is revealed at His second coming in all His glory. Just as the people succumbed to the pressure of the crowd in the days of Jesus to deny Him, the same shall happen in the last days. Because many of Christ's followers shall have poorly established belief systems, many shall fall away. Now is the day to strengthen yourself in Christ.

Hebrews 12:26-28 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
