“Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”- Luke 12:11-12 NKJ
Warrior;
God is looking for People of Faith. In the Parable of the Persistent Widow in Luke Chapter 8 Jesus Himself wonders if there will be any people of Faith when He returns. Hear the Word of the Lord; And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:1,7-8) This reminds me of something that happened in the book of Genesis. The Bible references this about the END TIMES; For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:37) In the days of Noah, God could find few with Faith. In Noah’s day, there was 1 for sure, maybe only 8 faithful souls left on earth. This seems like a shadow to what He is discussing in Luke 18:8. Hear the Word of the Lord; “The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD”. (Genesis 6:6-8) Yahweh, Father God is moving, and He is looking for people of Faith. Faith in the Risen Jesus, the Messiah, Meshiach! God is looking for Men and Women who are willing to profess His name and His Word with Power and Control, Meekness! It is written, Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)
Leader, Meek IS NOT Weak. As a matter of fact, WEAK and MEEK are opposites. Meek is POWER UNDER CONTROL. A bridled stallion is a picture of MEEK. Meek persons are courageous enough to accept accurate knowledge from God’s Word, no matter the words of the world-what others may think or say. The Meek are conscious of their spiritual need and have a desire to know more about God, His son Jesus, and the Bible- Yahweh, God’s Word (Matthew 5:3). The meek understand the pleas of the Psalmist; “Open my eyes so that I may see clearly the wonderful things from your law. I am but a foreigner in the land. Do not hide your commandments from me. I am consumed with longing for your judgments at all times.” (Psalm 119:18-20) Most importantly the MEEK know 3 things, in addition to the fact that GOD IS IN CONTROL: 1-Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world. 2-In my weakness His strength is perfected. 3-I must decrease so He can increase. (1 John 4:4,2 Corinthians 12:9, John 3:30). God’s meek have died to themselves. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Conduit, to be MEEK in today’s America we need to understand our place in relation to God the Father, absent of Christ’s reconciliation. We live in America, in a world that is experiencing the GREAT APOSTASY, the church falling away from the truth. The Time is now to be BOLD and realize all that the flesh does is evil, it is selfish, and it is about our Wants, and Desires- the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life! (1 John 2:16) Todays featured verse in Luke 12 has the preceding sections of the Bible labeled as follows: Beware of Hypocrisy, Jesus Teaches the Fear of God, Confess Christ Before Men. Before today’s verse Jesus talks about everything done in the dark will be brought into light. He says that if you deny Jesus to men, then Jesus will deny you to God the Father. If you are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you. This is the mindset of a WARRIOR for God! Look at some of the greats of the Bible. People like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Moses. They knew their standing, apart from God- they were nothing! Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD.” Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:6-9) Isaiah felt the same about himself, see Isaiah 6; And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips…. (Isaiah 6:5) Moses, being a great man of God, also knew how far from God he was in his flesh. It is written; But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you…. (Exodus 3:11, 12a) If we are to be MEEK, then we need to be LIVE STREAMING with YAHWEH! Abba is looking for warriors who are willing to be in the game; Father May I! Are you willing to be an ARROW IN THE QUIVER OF YAHWEH? Be Bold, Be MEEK and BE OF GOD! Put on the mind of Christ, the Heart of CHRIST and USE YOUR MOUTH, your WORDS for the GLORY OF GOD! Remember, DO NOT FEAR! “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10)
