Heaven rejoices over every lost sheep that is found. Luke 15:3-7

"Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me. You have been so, so good to me. Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me. You have been so, so kind to me. When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me. You have been so, so good to me. When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me. You have been so, so kind to me. There’s no shadow You won’t light up, Mountain You won’t climb up, Coming after me. There’s no wall You won’t kick down, Lie You won’t tear down, Coming after me. Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God. Oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine. I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still You give Yourself away. Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God." "Reckless Love" - Cory Asbury, Caleb Culver, and Ran Jackson.

Do you ever feel lost? I've been a Christ follower for many years and sometimes I feel lost. What I know is that Jesus will ALWAYS leave the 99 and come find us. You will never be truly lost, because Jesus can find you anywhere. The enemy will try very hard to convince you of many negative things and work to keep you from the joy of knowing Jesus. Please don't let him. (James 4:7)

"When I use the phrase, 'the reckless love of God,' I’m not saying that God Himself is reckless. I am, however, saying that the way He loves, is in many regards, quite so. His love bankrupted heaven for you. His love doesn’t consider Himself first. His love isn’t selfish or self-serving. He doesn’t wonder what He’ll gain or lose by putting Himself out there. He simply gives Himself away on the off-chance that one of us might look back at Him and offer ourselves in return. The recklessness of His love is seen most clearly in this – it gets Him hurt over and over. Make no mistake, our sin pains His heart. Yet He opens up and allows us in every time. His love saw you when you hated Him – when all logic said, 'They’ll reject me,' He said, 'I don’t care if it kills me. I’m laying My heart on the line." Cory Asbury - "Reckless Love"

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that whoever reads this will feel the full extent of your love and know that You will always come to rescue them, in whatever place they are. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank you Jesus, that the GREATER ONE, LIVES IN ME!!

Jesus says: I come that you might have life more abundantly.

You see the enemy is so nosey, always in GOD'S BUSINESS, always hanging around.

Why??

To find someone who is weak, unbalanced, and wavering in their faith.

But Jesus says: I COME, I'M HERE!! I will NEVER leave you, nor, abandon you. I am always with you!!!

Even when the enemy hangs around, don't fear! The GREATER ONE is here too.

Look up to Him, submit yourselves to Him (James4:7), and satan has to go!

Amen Jesus, please Lord, I ask in your name, to help us to remain IN You, focused, strong, and courageous in You!!! Thank you, Lord.

A CALL TO ARMS

War in the form of violence is the furthest escalation of man’s desire to have his way, his control, power, rights or overall governance recognized. That warring is in our flesh as sin promoting our independence from God and even one another at times.

“Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring (at war) against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members (flesh)” (Rom.7:20-23).

“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war….” (James4:1-2a).

As believers, we are called to “live peaceably with all men.” That is, with relinquishing our rights in obedience to the Holy Spirit, “The Prince of Peace,” who indwells us, yet, Christ in us presses the gates of hell leading us “where we do not want to go.” What a precarious place we are in. What we carry of Christ, is actually antagonistic to those who are under the evil one, of which we once were! Do we remember those believers who first shared God’s word with us? Do we remember our bristling, ready for a fight with them? Their stand for Christ, His way, truth and life, was lived and spoken to us as the lone entrance to the Father and Heaven. Were we not all offended, being pierced by the likeness of Paul’s goads (prods, nails, jabs) that came by the mouth of those Spirit-filled disciples like Stephen; words and actions convicting us of sin, judgement and righteousness? Oh, and was not Paul on the warpath, violating his own countrymen’s homes thinking he was doing God a service? Should these times be any different?

So, it is and has remained through all generations, that God offends mankind’s sinfully self-righteous and independent nature with His righteous nature. This war raging since the beginning of the Fall is well spoken of in Matthew’s gospel “…from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matt.11:12).

Simeon prophesied over the Christ child in a similar likeness, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against…” (Lk.2:34). There is coming a time of no neutral ground, a choosing of who you really will serve and with all your heart…or not. The “fall and rising” we see in America and the world at this time are shakings, a sparring prelude to war between God and the powers that be which oppose the living God and all who would stand with Him. They are escalations of darkness against light, coming to a head for dominion (control, power). We know the stories from scripture and even from our own history books of war, but we may not be acquainted with the spiritual significance behind them.

One noteworthy story that brings some clarity to our whereabouts at this time is found in Exodus17:8-16: God’s War with Amalek. With no visible provocation, “Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim” (v.8). Why? I believe Moses gives us an insightful understanding to Amalek’s attack on Israel. Verse 16 states, “Because the Lord has sworn: The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” A more precise translation is “Because Amalek’s hand is upon (or against) the throne of the Lord, the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” One might think from the former translation that God simply seeks war with Amalek, but the clearer translation exposes Amalek’s intent on overthrowing God’s place with and in His people. Of course, God responds, standing with those who stand with Him and defeating Amalek. This is not unlike Herod in Acts12:20-23 receiving glory as a god for his greatly praised speech. He, having his hand on the throne by not giving glory to God, is immediately smitten by an angel and his flesh consumed with worms.

God’s war with Amalek continues in Ex.17:10-13 with Joshua leading the men of Israel while Moses, Aaron, and Hur move to a hilltop to oversee the battle. As Moses declared, “I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” Israel prevailed as Moses’ hands were raised; Amalek prevailed when in weariness Moses’ hands lowered. Recognizing the vertical and horizontal connection of God in the heavens versus the battle before them, Aaron and Hur supported his hands and Amalek was defeated.

In Ex.17:14, this battle becomes a written memorial to be recounted in the hearing of Joshua and now us! But why in Joshua’s hearing? That Joshua might know all that was behind the scene while he was in the fray of battle; the unseen of God and men to be realized and believed. It was not in the enduring strength of Joshua’s own hand that he and Israel had defeated Amalek, but it was his enduring faith to stay in the battle where God’s strength was released according to God’s word and way. This wins the day! God answers our hand with His own when we are willing to stand where He stands. Earlier in Exodus, Moses said to the people: “Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. On this day you are going out…” (Ex.13:3-4). Let’s be careful for whose bread we are eating, it may be “the leaven of the Pharisees.”

For laying his own hand to the Lord’s throne, Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom departed from him until he learned the Most High rules in the affairs of men. Being restored in repentance, Nebuchadnezzar declared for us all to hear: “His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’ At the same time my reason returned to me…” (Dan.4:34b-36a).

To finish our original story, Moses adds one last stone to Israel’s victory over Amalek, “And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner (Ex.17:15). “Banner” here is interchangeable with the word “standard.” There must be a stand that brings a breakthrough for a standard to be established. In this day of rising conflict where many leaders have their hand either upon or against the throne of God, I believe we will all be challenged for what standard we live by and/or what stand we will take. How many stands have we taken that has raised our standard of Him high enough to “stand therefore” again? How many doors of opportunity have we passed up with God attempting to lead us to victories over sin in our flesh and into His life? This defies the enemy crossing the lines of God’s domain with us. Have we a hand on the throne to govern what we will or will not do for Him? For those of us who have enough decades under our belt, how do we see the moral and/or ethical standards of this age, compared to what we grew up with? What of those standards of conscience with God? “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…” (1 Tim.4:1-2). Let’s remember that judgment begins first at the House of God.

There is a God-gate to every circumstance, that requires an active stand, a posture with Him to see the victory He intends that sets and even lifts His standard. “Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a standard (banner) for the peoples” (Isa.62:10).

Eph.6:11-14 calls for us to “…put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand (Gr. histemi: set or place oneself firmly) against all the wiles of the devil (considering the fact that we do not war against flesh and blood) …to be able to withstand (Gr. anhistemi: actively rise, stand forth or set against) in the evil day and having done all to stand. Stand therefore…”

From a positive perspective, when Abram recovered his nephew, Lot, along with the king of Sodom from their enemy captors, the king offered Abram an homage of goods to which he refused by saying, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth that I will take nothing…that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’…” (Gen.14:22-23). If we are not receiving from the riches of His glory, we will be persuaded in these days by those who “mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage”(Jude1:16). Even our submission to authorities must be with discernment for motives of the heart. A raised hand to the Lord speaks of a standard set that goes where He goes. With valuing His call-to-arms, may we not be found conscientious objectors to His will being done with us. Let us all be practicing our hand-stands for the days ahead!
