As the people of God, we are not led by the world’s culture, we are called to influence and lead and to be the Salt of the Earth.  We do not make alliances with Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Social or Civic organizations at the expense of our Faith in God.  We do Not Lean Left, We do Not Lean Right, We STAND!  We Stand for Righteousness, We Stand for the Truth of God.  We Stand in adversity, we Stand in difficulty, we Stand when it may not be popular and even after we’ve have done everything we know to do to successfully resist and Stand our ground in the evil day, WE KEEP ON STANDING!

STAND!

God said vengeance belongs to Me!  If you hold your peace and let the LORD fight your battles, the Victory belongs to you.  

It may not be HOW you would do it or even WHEN you would do it BUT GOD WILL Trouble those who Trouble you AND He will give you rest!

Turn it over to LORD, He'll work it out.

In the Presence of God is the fullness of Joy!  And God has given us the Password into His Presence, The Password is Praise.  

Enter into His Gates with Thanksgiving and into His Courts (Presence) with Praise, be Thankful unto Him and Bless His Name!

He inhabits, dwells within the praises of His people.

No matter what we are going through, God deserves our praise.  From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, He is worthy to be praised.  

Psalms 100:4 (Passion Bible)  Says the Password into God's presence is Praise

Innate within every soul is the thirst to be FREE.  God created us to be free.  Sin became a yoke of bondage enslaving us.  

We have been REDEEMED by the Blood of the Lamb, RESTORED by the Grace of God and RECONNECTED by His Love.  Praise the Lord, I’m Free!

And we are charged to go spread the Good News… Jesus is still liberating, redeeming, restoring and reconciling the lost back to God.  

Psalms 27 tells us the God is the Source of our Strength and our Salvation. The attack from my enemies will not shake me from my faith foundation in God. I will not give up, I will not quit or lose hope, God will never disappoint those who trust in Him!

We pray God put such a tenacity in your heart that no matter what you encounter, your faith will not fail and you will never Quit!

God is Faithful.

Stir up the gifts of the Spirit that God has given you.  Ask God to put an intestinal fortitude within your soul that stirs you to Get Up from where you are and Do what you can with what God has already given you.

If not now, then when?

If not you, then who?

Faith requires action.  God will do what you cannot do and He requires you to do what you can.  Get Up, Get Going and Watch What God will do though you.

In life we often go through what appears to be detours, delays and difficulties.  While these seem like frustrating setbacks, they are opportunities and setups to push us into our destiny.  God always causes the events in our lives to work together for our good.  What seems like a Detour, Delay or Difficulty is a necessary stepping stone in our faith journey.

What Now?

What do you do, how do you respond… when your situation seems hopeless and your options are few?

What do you do when your faith is being tested and it feels like you won’t make it through?

How do you respond when your dream seems impossible and the One you are trusting in seems unresponsive?

The disciples had that same dilemma on the Friday that Jesus was ripped from them, beaten and died.  We now call it Good Friday because we know there was a Resurrection Sunday!  But What do you do when you’re living through that Friday disappointment and Sunday seems so far away?

What Now?    It’s easier said than done, but when we’ve done all we know to do, we must Keep Standing, Keeping Believing and Keep Trusting that Friday is temporary and Sunday morning is coming!    

When Pilate asked the angry crowd what he should do with Jesus - the Christ, the mob yelled out Crucify Him! We live in a day when the societal mob wants to crucify Jesus afresh along with all who serve Him.

It’s not popular to live for God in word and in deed.  But that is exactly what believers are called to do.  Honoring God only with our lips is no different than denying Him.  As we approach the holiest of seasons for believers, we ask you …. What will You do with Jesus?  As for us, we will Worship, Love and Adore Him Unashamedly!

We serve Jehova Shaddai, the Almighty God.  Not only is He Almighty, He is Omniscient.  There is NOTHING that God does not know.  

So when God asks a question, He already knows the answer. When He asks us a question, He is often doing it to focus our attention on what matters.

He asked the disciples, Whom do men say that I Am? He wanted the disciples to focus on Jesus the Christ and not the persecution that was to come.

We ask you, WHAT has God given you?   No matter how small or insignifant it seems, when God blesses it, your WHAT is All that you need in the situation that you face!
