We are the arm of the Lord!

 As I was reading  𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓𝟏, I understand 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡! 

𝐖𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬! 𝐔𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬! (𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓𝟏:𝟖)

We must 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞 “𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝!” (𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝟐𝟒:𝟏𝟓)

𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬; 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭. It will oppose everything that has to do with Christ, everything that has to do with God!

𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓𝟏 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 really clear that 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬, 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫! 

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫! For many generations 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠! 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 blindness and 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 that 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 for many generations, is falling! 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥! 

His disciples, His friends will carry His power to destroy the works of satan. An example of this is parting the Red Sea! (Ex. 14:21) God’s people were being chased by the army of Egypt who wanted to keep them slaves. What happened? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐚! 𝐈𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫! However, they had 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞! They crossed over! 

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝! (𝐃𝐞𝐮𝐭. 𝟓:𝟏𝟓) (𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓1:𝟗) 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡! (𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓1:𝟏𝟔) 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬! 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦!  If we do greater works than those He did, than we are carriers of His Kingdom made manifest here on earth! 

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭-𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲! If we don’t, if His church does not 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩, then the enemy of our soul will continue advancing his agenda!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩! 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩!

It is time to take away the yeast that Jesus was adamant about and warned His disciples about! “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy!” (Luke 12:1) 

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐲, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬!

All forms of sin are sin! Sin is sin, no matter what type! (Luke 13:1-3) 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐲! 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭!

This means that 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐲! (John 15:14)

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡! (𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟓𝟏:𝟗) However, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐦. 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡!  As one body of Christ here on earth, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲!
