Run to God!

When I was growing up, I remembered that if anyone ever messed with me, they were messing with my big sister too. She might whip upon me, but no one else could. All I had to do is tell her somebody was messing with me, and that person was dealt with; no more problems with that particular person. This is how I sometimes dealt with my early childhood problems – tell big sister or brother; or better yet, tell momma.

Now that I am an adult, maturing in Christ every day, increasing from glory to glory, I know that I can run to King Jesus. I know and understand that it’s not necessarily the person who has come up against me, but the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in high places, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Those who do not belong to Jesus belong to Satan; it’s just that black and white – either you are saved or you are not. When one has not been reconciled unto God through Christ Jesus, they can be used to do the work of the enemy. Matthew 12:33-39 explains this well:

Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

While Jesus was teaching, some of the Pharisees were listening and asked for a sign. Jesus called them a wicked and adulterous generation. These were “holy men”. There are some who say “Lord, lord”, but do not truly belong to Him (Titus 1:16). There are some, sad to say, behind the pulpit that do not know Jesus; they “know of Him”, but do not truly know Him. Some who seem to be righteous can be used by Satan/the devil because they have a form of godliness but deny the power (2 Timothy 3:2-5). So it’s not necessarily the person themselves, but they have allowed the enemy, Satan/the devil, to use them. It can be someone close to you or someone you hardly know. There will be some that will come up against you, and will think they are doing a good work. The enemy is doing all he can to distract us from what is important – cultivating our relationship with Jesus. He is coming back, and if the enemy/the devil can keep you in fear, upset, depressed/oppressed – if he can bring doubt and despair into your life, he can keep you away from God/The Word. In good times and in bad, we need to keep our eyes on the Lord/The Word of God.

If we can keep our eyes on the Lord, we will not faint! Keep saying ONLY what the Word of God says concerning your situation. Victory in ours in Jesus’ Name! Plead the Blood of Jesus over your situation, family, property – everything! There is Power in the Blood of Jesus. When you are walking upright before God, He will cause even your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16:6-8). There are those who will not act in integrity with you. When people do not act with integrity towards you, you can run to God the Father. Those who have spoken evil/bad of you and/or have wronged you, will fall in the trap they have set for your feet themselves (Psalms 57:6, Proverbs 21:18, Proverbs 26:27).

Run to God and dwell in the secret place of the Most High. WE need to read and confess Psalms 91 everyday. You say of the Lord, He is your refuge and your fortress; He is your God in whom you trust. The Amplified version of this say “Which NO foe can withstand” – No one will ever be greater or more powerful than the God I serve – NO ONE! Momma, daddy, sister, brother,wife or hubby will never be able to deliver all the time or like God can. Don’t put your trust in man – human beings; put your trust in the Lord. Run to God. The battle is not yours; it’s the Lords.

Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, then say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus!
