WARRIOR SAINTS, ASSEMBLE!

From the beginning when iniquity was found in the heart of Lucifer (EZEK 28:15) and he dared to utter those fateful words "I will..." thus denying the LORD in doing so (ISAIAH 14:12-14), a war ensued in the heavenly domain where the rebellious angels were dealt with. Then Satan infiltrated the Garden of Eden, and by his wiles, cunning and flattery appealed to our Parents the notion of being their own gods, and turn away from their Creator.

When they fell from their first and glorious estate, they only then realized that instead of being transformed into 'gods' they were corrupted and malformed into sinners.

Yet the LORD GOD didn't leave this effrontery unchallenged; He declared war on the serpent at once:

GENESIS 3:15
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel
.

Slowly, methodically, the LORD revealed His plan in the pages of Old Testament Scripture that resolved into a crystal clear picture of the Face of the LORD Jesus Christ, the LAMB of GOD!

We might become terrified if ever we saw the monstrous power and intensity of wickedness that spans the enormous breadth of the kingdom of darkness, with Satan at the fore. And in challenge of these insolent and fierce powers, the LORD brings forth His champion:

We expect to see a valiant warrior of incredible power and boldness, but in steps in this tiny, meekly stepping lamb!?
This champion is far more than enough! Don't let the wooly and mild demeanor fool you - as it was stated so eloquently in the hymn:

1 His be the Victor’s name,
who fought the fight alone;
triumphant saints no honor claim;
His conquest was their own.

2 By weakness and defeat
He won a glorious crown,
trod all our foes beneath His feet
by being trodden down.

3 He Satan’s pow'r laid low;
made sin, He sin o’erthrew;
bowed to the grave, destroyed it so,
and death, by dying, slew.

4 Bless, bless the Conqu'ror slain,
slain in His victory;
who lived, who died, who lives again —
For thee, His church, for thee!

Two thousand years has gone by, and while the war on Satan, sin and this sin-infested world has been won in no uncertain terms, there are still battles to fight until the LORD returns and we will trade our swords in for rods of iron, to rule and reign with Christ.

I've spoken with the saints at church, by phone, through social media, and we are all sensing the same things; this new administration of Biden/Harris in election year 2020 is not at all the same as when Obama won the victory. Surely, when he won the election in 2008, there was a sense of despondency, especially where our healthcare was concerned, being jeopardized by the so called Affordable Healthcare Act or Obama Care...

Yet we are dealing with the COVID 19 Plandemic, and all the repercussions that this implies; we are soon to witness the results of this years World Economic Forum and The DAVOS Great Reset which will mark the end of Nation-States, the Middle-Class and All Civil Liberties. See this article from The Common Sense Show.

A quote from that article:

"I have been inundated with communications in the last few days about the World Economic Forum in Davos which is set to convene in January of 2021. Also, many of my colleagues are alerting that what is coming out of this conference as well. This article is a culmination of what many have sent to me and from my private conversations with people who follow Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 issues.

"There is a changing of the guard going on across the planet. The desperate times are attracting the evil ones and their nasty desires for humanity are surfacing for all to see and unlike the past where their intentions were headed, they seem to care less that we peasants learn what they are up to.

"In short, many are casting eyes upon the World Economic Forum (WEF). They have used COVID and the coming great global famine, that they will blame on climate change as the excuse to enforce their socialist, depopulating agenda."

I don't know how accurate this report is but I can tell you this: if this is spot-on, dead-center accurate, I wouldn't be a bit surprised - not in the least.
Needless to say, any talk about 'getting back to normal' is dubious at best. Impossible at worst.
We here in America are venturing into uncharted waters, delving deeper into the darkness of this age; certainly, "
here be monsters"!

I believe that Satan, in the formation of his soon-to-be-rolled-out new world order is preparing the land that once was America the Free, for a time of persecution of the saints. Something we America Christians are unaccustomed to.

For years I've been praying that the LORD will create a renewed hunger for holiness in His church. To that I am now adding, "LORD prepare us for these days ahead, come what may, and never let us forget that You have ALREADY WON THE WAR no matter what battles we might lose along the way until You return!"

I've written this article a few years back and I think it's crucial that this is considered by the saints, especially since I don't know how much longer we Christians will have the freedom to publish articles or when the powers that be will begin to ban them (we are already seeing censorship and cancel culture): ARE YOU PERSECUTION PROOF? 

Also, may I strongly encourage you to print out the following article for the sake of those either young in the faith or even older Christians that have never really been discipled because of the lack of training in the typical American church; these are the essentials of the faith, foundational teachings that every Christian needs to get a handle on:

BACK TO BASICS – CHRISTIANITY 101 BTB

Anyone who knows me understands that I firmly believe that the rapture of the church will happen prior to the beginning of the 70th week of DANIEL (DANIEL 9) which is commonly referred to as the time of the Tribulation (seven years). Thomas Ice has a competent 12 part series on this subject.

There are some who hold my position that believe that the church "will be outta here before anything bad happens". I disagree entirely with that sentiment; while we can expect the LORD Jesus to 'snatch' us away at any moment, there is no guarantee that we will be spared any hardships, hunger, persecution, etc. that most of the church in most places during most of the history of the church hasn't faced on a daily basis. Only American arrogance would assume we get a 'free pass' by necessity (we may in fact be spared of these things, but that is for GOD to decide).

Now is the time for Christians to truly consider the integrity of their faith; this is one reason why I believe I am experiencing a significant increase in prayer requests from the saints that are undergoing dire hardships and sorrows for which they are asking for the saints to intercede on their behalf. I believe the LORD is allowing these things to draw us away from the things of this world, and to re-focus our attention on our citizenship that's in heaven.

PHILIPPIANS 3:20 
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Saints, we need each other in this dark hour - more to the point, we are in desperate need for the LORD Jesus and to have His eyes pierce through our innermost being and see if there is any wicked way, any area of sin or weakness that would crumble at the first applied pressure of persecution. I think especially pastors must do some soul-searching in this matter, because when this all comes down, it's going to hit hardest, first, on pastors and church leadership.

It bears repeating however: the victory is ours in Christ; the war is won - it's our hope and anchor to let this conviction be firmly planted into the depths of our souls.

VICTORY IS YOURS, Parts ONE and TWO.

Also, may this final article encourage you, all of you who are saints of the Living GOD Almighty, LORD of heaven and earth!

SHOW ME

prayerfully yours in the fight!

I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting (smithhackingcompanyltd@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

I am sure a lot of us are still unaware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within a few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between $1,000-$5,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable.
