God’s Power Principle For Today: ”For yet in a very little while,
He who is coming will come, and will not delay.
But My righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrinks back, My
soul has no pleasure in him. (Heb.
10:37-39).
Hey Gang: Yes, our
country has some very deep problems, but when I survey what is happening around
our world, I say, ”Thank God, I am an American”. Note, there are two fabulous promises in the
Power Principle of the day: First there
is the promise that one day soon the horrors and agony of this world will pass
away, and Christ will return to Zion’s Mountain and set up His Kingdom.
But there is a meantime
and, I suspect, the powers of darkness are not going to let up on their harassing
ways. The writer of Hebrews tell us, “My
righteous one will live by faith” (V 38).
David Wilkerson made an excellent point when he wrote, “Faith is indeed
a command. It is written the just shall
live by faith” (V 38; Habakkak 2:4), not the just might or could live by
faith, but WILL live by faith. But
it does not end there, continue in Hebrews 10:38 “But My righteous one shall live by faith and if he shrinks back My soul
has no pleasure in him”
In today’s world our governments run by polling data. We elect our leaders by who is popular and
their political affiliations, not by who has the best qualification and seeks
wisdom from the Wisdom Giver. Proverbs
tells us that “wisdom comes from the
fear of the Lord” (Prov. 1:7 &9:10).
There are times when I wonder if there are Believers in the Belt Way.
In a recent poll it was reported that the number one malady
in our nation today is discouragement.
When asked if they believe American has gone beyond the point of no
return, a growing majority believe we are well beyond that line.
I believe that places restrictions and limits on God. We say God is all powerful out of one side
of our mouth and that He does not have the power to turn this nation around to
its former Christian foundations out of the other. In the year 2000 (given on November 26) we
attended the First Assembly of God in Grand Rapids. During a revival when the Spirit of God was
moving in a powerful way, the following prophecy was given:
“Yea, I will indeed
bring this nation to their knees but, it will be the knees of my people, and
they will push back the forces of darkness and yea, I will still crush the hand
of the enemy. Yea, Your forefather’s prayers were not in
vain and those things they fought for I
will restore. Yea, I am a God who is in
control. Yea, I will make the nations of
the earth laugh at America but their laughter will be turned back upon them for
I am the Lord Thy God and I am in control and yea, I will bring forth the
banner as My people pray. Yea, I will
bring forth Holy righteousness into this nation again. Yes, I will pour out my Spirit and I will put
my arms around this nation as I have never done before and yea my people shall
see a great revival. Yea, Ye shall
receive the renewing of the Spirit, and yea, it shall be powerful, and all the
nations shall look upon the earth and upon this nation as a Holy Nation once
again.”
Soooo, “I prayed to
the Lord my God and confessed: “O Lord, You are the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of love with all
who love Him and obey His commands” (Daniel 9:4). Your
Word is very clear, it is not the world that is going to fix our nation and get
it back on the right track, but those whose names are written in the Lamb’s
Book of Life and it is by our fruits that He will know us!”
Blessings,
Gramps
