In A Crisis, Christ Is Present. Awake! - Raising Zion
Christ is present in our daily struggles. Look back, to look forward to a wonderful future in eternity.
God saved Noah & family from a worldwide flood.
God took Enoch and Elijah alive from earth.
HE destroyed giants and larger armies when Israel were outnumbered.
God left Israel untouched during the plagues.
God divided the Red Sea.
HE broke the walls of Jericho with shouts of Praise.
God sent fire down when Elijah, David and Solomon prayed.
Jesus died and rose again. He came, He saw, and conquered death and hell.
The Spirit of God dwells inside us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit
… and so much more.
Despite all that we know and believe, we still fear.
What does that say about our love for God?
How about our trust in God’s word?
What does it say about our faith life?
The question now is, what are we going to do about it? Now knowing that we lack greatly.
The time is now as the occasion demands for every Christian to come alive. To take a stand for Jesus no matter what. To be persecuted and suffer for the kingdom of God in whatever way God chooses.
Awake, because Christ is present
Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Matthew 26:41
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 timothy 4:16
Let humility and being poor in spirit be our hallmark. Christ is present no matter what crisis we see before us. Jesus is coming for His faithful bride. Praise God and Amen!
