PLANTING AND HARVESTING

” Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come an end.” Proverbs 22:8

The world we live in today is one of confusion, fear and a lot of anquish. As Christians we are not to live that way. We have to come to the realization that we are in a war. We have been created by our God in heaven to live in this world at this time. We have a purpose. However, we cannot fulfill that purpose or even understand that purpose until we understand what kind of war we are really involved with. To view things from the human point of view we see nothing but defeat, failure, worry, fear and doubt. We see lying, cheating and a lot of fraud that is not being recognized by the world, even though it is prevelant and in plain view. Many step back in fear and worry and live their lives in defeat. Well, God tells us that there are those who are sowing injustice and disaster. They are ruling with threats of of life and of livelihoods. They will, however, be brought to justice. How do we as Christians approach such evil? The first thing we must do is realize that we are involved in a spiritual warfare between God and the devil. This war has been going on for thousands of years but it is about to come to the end. Again, we live in a very exciting time. We are experiencing and will continue to experience things that other generations have not experienced. But, if we don’t stay in constant communication with God we will be unsuccessful in our efforts to help God’s cause. God has won this war with or without our help. The end of this world as we know it is here. The battle is coming to a close. The devil knows it. Why do you think he is working so hard? He wants to take as many of this world to hell with him as he can. We have been given our weapons of war. Now we must suit up for battle by putting on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit. We must continue to truly believe in God’s word and the message he is giving us. We must stay in his word and surround ourselves with it and not surround ourselves with the things of the world. We must continue to stay in continuous prayer. Don’t turn on the mainstream news but go to God’s word instead. He has the truth! We must continue to build upon our faith and not allow even a small crack for the devil to get in. We are in a war. We are going to win. We must not doubt. We must beilieve that we receive because is our source! Be a part of the battles and not just on lookers. PRAISE THE lORD!
