EL ROI [Rah-ee]   …   HE sees

 

When the Holy Spirit shared with me during the "secret place" time, He shared with me how,

when people seek to ostracize someone and destroy their character,

that is when the Lord, who is El Roi, sees them in their distress and takes up their case. 

He will humble their accusers and bring them low. He will lift up the accused and promote them.

It is a greater thing to be exalted by God than by the world.

​

The world has no balance as it no longer has a moral compass.

The world crashes from one ditch to the other never really finding the way. This lesson is relevant for the times ahead.  We who truly follow the Word of God must prepare ourselves for such persecution.

​

Most of us are not ready for the magnitude at which the gates of hell will come after us.  We only think of that scripture, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".   

But you must understand what it cannot prevail against.

 

There has to be Overcoming Faith. 

You have to prepare yourself to stand against unbelievable odds where the odds are stacked up against you 10,000,000 to 1. That "one" being God is all you have.

 

Jesus said, in order to follow Him, you'll need to deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow.  Denying yourself is letting go of who you think you are in this world.

• The world will hate you.

• It will betray you.

• It will ostracize you and seek to kill you if not just alienate you.

 

Picking up your cross means you are ready to die for who you "truly" are in the face of slander. 

The bible promises slander for those who walk with the Lord intimately.

 

You know why?  Because as long as the world remains in darkness and sees a sinner change toward the Light of Salvation and the gift of Righteousness, it will become demonically jealous and enraged because it doesn't want to see a person get saved.  That is Satan’s kingdom responding.

 

People in darkness don't realize they are puppets for the kingdom of the devil.  Our fight isn't with those people, that is why we must deny ourselves and pick up our death. 

Listen! God will fight that battle.  He brings vengeance.

He will repay all according to what they do in the flesh.

 

How can you have Overcoming Faith?

Faith "cometh" by "hearing" <<Hearing by the Word of God>>  
 

Faith doesn't come by going to a hip church singing the most emotionally charged worship music. Faith comes from the constant study of Absolute Truth that challenges inner character.   

That Truth contradicts us until we line up with it. It's a process.

 

Absolute Truth changes the most important factor

in God's eyes...the inner person.

 

When Jesus would refer to the commandments, He would emphasize, "But I say" and would apply them to the heart of a person instead of the physical activity. 

It says the eye is the lamp of the body. If the eyes are good, the whole body is filled with Light.   

So, what goes in, comes out. 

 

We, Christians, need to study God's Word.

Prayer and God's Word need to be more important than going to church.

Going to church is where you find community, but if you don't have a core Love for God, what do you have to offer the body of Christ?  Could this be why most of our churches today are not serious about spiritual warfare, but more concerned about talking about football scores in the "house of Prayer"? They have become more of social gatherings than places where people build one another's Faith up. If you knew a friend or a family member was about to be assaulted by the world by all the forces of hell in the next week, would you simply socialize with them and talk about football scores?

 

NO! By no means! You would open your bible and say to them, they need to hang on these specific scriptures. These are the promises of God to those that Love Him. 

WE BETTER GET SERIOUS! 

​

My personal life was a train wreck. It took God pulling me aside and isolating me for 7 years.

Those seven years I spent solely studying His Word and living in the "Secret Place"... (The prayer closet)...cut off from everyone. I'm not better than anyone,  but my path is better than it's ever been in my whole Life. I'm preparing for the onslaught of hell. That Evil Day. It's coming.

 

The Joy of the Lord is my strength.  His Joy is seeing Heaven amidst the present Hell. That's the best way to define the Joy of the Lord.  Our coming Glory is eternal compared to the destruction of this flesh. We must return to the roots of the Joy of our salvation and what it means if we are to survive the coming persecution.

​

Remember, Jesus Is the Life. He has given us Eternal Life.

That is what makes us live life more abundantly.  Knowing that it is only a temporary trouble, but the reason to Endure is Joy Unspeakable.

 

Grace and Shalom to the reader. The Lord be with you. 

He that endures to the End shall be saved.
