Word for today

For the wicked surround the [uncompromisingly] righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.
The Lord's Answer
5"Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told."
"For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own. They are dreaded and fearsome; their justice and dignity go forth from themselves. Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour. They all come for violence, all their faces forward. They gather captives like sand. At kings they scoff, and at rulers they laugh.
They laugh at every fortress, for they pile up earth and take it. Then they sweep by like the wind and go on, guilty men, whose own might is their god!" Habakuk 1:1-11
"I am going to do something new", says the Almighty "who will notice?" I believe that this is what God is busy doing. Habakuk complains about circumstances happening in the world similar to today. The words that are standing out for me in the first four verses I inserted from the Amplified, its the uncompromisingly righteous. God is looking for sons who will walk in the Spirit 24/7. People who refuse to give in to the flesh and their sinful nature. He is raising up a mighty army in these days. Almost like His special forces. Be holy, for He is holy.
The things that's going to happen in the days to come will be of such greatness that we all will be overwhelmed by His glory. God will manifest His love, His glory, His mercy and grace and His presence like never experienced before. Its a new day. Yesterdays revelations and know-how's is not relevant for the time we are in. Wait upon the Lord, seek His presence in everything and more than anything. He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Jesus is the General of the army. No man, no denomination, no ministry or anything else. It's only Jesus. No fancy knowledge will do the job. The Gospel is not in our words but by His power. The simple Truth of Jesus is all that's necessary. No need to make the message more colorful and attractive. The story of Jesus is not old or outdated after 2000 years. By His Spirit it is as fresh as it was back then. No need to add or take anything away from the Truth. Jesus is the Truth and people will know the Truth (who Jesus is), and the Truth shall set us free! In the simplicity lays the Power of the Gospel.
The entire creation is in eager awaiting for the sons of God to stand up. Sons of God is not a gender thing. Its those who have found and grows their identity in Christ. It's the Gideon 300. God is raising up an army that will be fearsome in the eyes of the enemy. An army that is not on the defense but an army who will expand His Kingdom aggressively. No compromise! Soldiers who will take the kingdom by force. The mission is souls ("they gather captives like sand"). God is on the attack. He is expanding His Kingdom on earth and He is asking the question: Will you ride with Me?
The strategy for our mission is also in Christ. It is to live a lifestyle daily of sacrifice and obedience to our King. To worship Him in Spirit and in truth. This worship is our lifestyle. Its everything we do. It is to rest in Him. To make His thrown room our living room. Jesus is the beginning and the end of all true Spiritual authority. Live in His rest, and we will rise up like eagles. We will NOT grow weary. We will run and not become tired! When we seek His Kingdom and righteousness first, He will make sure we have NO shortcomings in the physical. We stand firmly on the Rock (Jesus). We are not bound by anything from this world for He has set us free. When the economy goes down, we will stand firm for our living Almighty God is our provider. In Him we have life and abundance. ("At kings they scoff, and at rulers they laugh.
They laugh at every fortress, for they pile up earth and take it")
There is a shift in the spirit. God is shaking the heavens (spiritual) and the earth (physical)(Hebrew 12). Thus everything will be chaos when seen through the eyes of man. Change will occur at a more rapid rate that's ever increasing. Predictions will become mere guesses. Nothing will be for certain. Ahhh!!! Almost nothing! One thing CANNOT be shaken; His Kingdom. His Kingdom is in us, His children. Everything/Everyone in Christ is His Kingdom. Parts of your life that you still control will be shaken, for that part is not in Christ. The world is looking, nei, desperately seeking for stability. This can only be found in Christ. They will see it in you! Your lifestyle, your testimony will lead people to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Where sin abounds, His grace abounds more. The harvest is ready! Lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. Meditate (think) on God's Word day and night for as a man thinks, so he is (Joshua 1:8; Ps 119:97-99).
This is the most exciting time in history to be alive! Stick to the basics of Gods love and let Him save and change the people. Submit in full to God, resist the devil and he will flee! Love the people, hate sin and the works of satan. Our enemy IS NOT people! God loves ALL people and Jesus died for ALL people. Jesus defeated death and longs that ALL people find eternal life in Him. Love your enemies! Love ALL people for they are top of God's creation. Keep it simple so that a child can understand. Let the Spirit be our Guide. Trust Him in full, for His ways are not our ways. He is God, King of kings, Lord of lords, Ruler of rulers. NOT US!
This is the time of His fullness. Hold nothing back. Give your everything and receive His fullness. Never be satisfied! Be thankful but desperately seek more. May we decrease as He increase. Jesus is longing to bless you with ALL spiritual blessings! Receive it in Jesus Name!
May the grace of God be with us. May His Spirit not depart from us. May He brake this word open for us and take us deeper. May only the words that is from God fall in our spirits and souls and bring forth fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5). May we walk in His love and grace to rise up to the place He is calling us, next to Him, seated in heavenly places. May we experience His fullness today and forever more! We are a new generation! A generation who are more than conquers because of His love for us. May Jesus become more of a reality in our lives in Jesus Name. Amen.
