Jesus has never left a battle field until He has complete and absolute victory. Wherever this email finds you in your circumstance close to Him, backslidden, discouraged, encouraged He doesn’t leave because what He starts in you He is going to finish. His beautiful work of redemption will renew your mind, soul, heart and body until you put on Christ and are like Him. He wants you to have His best as His sons and daughters. Our lord doesn’t get frustrated and He is not in a hurry. He isn’t overwhelmed with the odds and what’s against Him. He is not full of fear or anxiety and He is never discouraged. He doesn’t hold the testimony of what the evil one has done on the earth between the alliance of fallen man and Hell. He holds His own testimony where all others are silenced. His testimony is one of life and redemption as He restores the creation to Himself in His own word by the will of the Father. We are reconciled to Him and we are seen by Him as a new creation filled with the life of His son. One day, maybe even today we will begin to see ourselves the same way He sees us and the sweetness of unity will be seen in the bride and she will overcome even as He has already overcome.
There is no obligation on the Lords part to ensure that we live up to all that He created us to be while on earth, only that it is available to those that will stand with Him on the battlefield as He puts all of His enemies to flight. As He turns to share the spoils of His victory with us so that we know His joy we must be there on the field with Him to receive what He has for us. As you abide in Him in this field you will see anxiety, fear, discouragement, unbelief, ridicule, rejection, sickness, pride, sorrow, loneliness, religion, witchcraft, the occult, perversion and every legion of wickedness that the enemy will throw at you to make you leave the field of battle and depart from Him for He is our fortress and who can overcome Him. Just when you think you want to run, look at Him and see Him as He is the eternal word, the I AM and hold fast and He will put all to flight that oppose Him.
The lord never called us into retreat. Only to join Him and abide. When it seems that the enemy has the upper hand and here on earth it will always seem that way, know that your redemption is near even to the salvation of your souls. When His tangible presence enters the room and we see Him as He is and abide with Him in the heavenly places we will have His testimony in us and the perspective of heaven where two of us put thousands to flight in Christ.
There is no place left to retreat too. We as a church have given up all the ground that we can. We have been invited by our Lord to live in these days and participate in the greatest victories in Christ that have yet to be seen on earth. The culture of the Kingdom in victory must be learned and experienced as we go from glory to glory its an invitation from Him to join Him where He is at. He will not retreat or leave the field of battle He will be found in that place. He will not join us in retreat because He is not defeated. As we learn to stand in His presence and see Him as He is we will have the abundant life the only one worth living.
May the lord put on your heart and mind to seek Him this way in these days, converts are not on the mind of the lord but warrior sons and daughters who will only settle for victory in Him and no compromise with darkness as there in no darkness in Him. Come and learn of Him for He is gentle and kind and humble of heart He knows our weakness and He even turns that into our strength in Him.
The favor of God rest on you to hear His voice and take to heart in Him and hear a clarion call to stand in the field of His victory and honor Him for whom He really is.
Blessings,
John
