Isaiah 5:20-21_(KJV) “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”

Isaiah prophetically spoke these words thousands of years ago, and his voice still echoes with Truth today! He saw a day when man would call evil good, and good evil: These days are truly upon us! I just read in the news that our U.S. Military System has ruled to pay for a Man’s hormone treatment to become a Woman. Mind you, this Man is also a prisoner due to Treason! Yet, there has been constant pressure and rulings to prevent Prayer in Military gatherings, and even prevent the word God at Military Funerals! This is one of innumerable examples of “Calling evil good, and good evil.” The question I pose to every individual, is “What are you fighting for?” The godless are blatantly defying any sense of morality, as they attempt to push those who oppose Sin into the closet and silence the Church! The days are coming and are already here in many places, where The pulpit that cries against sin is being held as “a hate crime.” The godless are strengthened with the likes of ACLU and other demonic forces, supporting their agenda like never before! From the day that Lucifer sought to overthrow God Almighty in the heavens, until now, There is a war between “good and evil,” “between Righteousness and unrighteousness.”

The plight of today is The True Church of the Living God, -The Bride of CHRIST, is being fought by the pseudo-religion that seeks to mix godliness with worldliness! The Spirit of the Nicolaitans and the Doctrine of Balaam have infiltrated the Church from within with; Secularization, Compromise, and Sensuality! They want to have the world, and CALVARY simultaneous! Yet, my bible tells me it doesn’t work that way: I John2:15-16 _(KJV) “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

We cannot have the world in the Church, and we cannot allow Society to shut us up and put us in a closet! We mustn’t allow the oppression of the godless to quench our Fight for Righteousness and Truth! We must stand Firm on the Word of God, and Love people but hate sin. We mustn’t allow the spirit of the age that claims “we’re judging everyone, and that’s a form of hatred,” -to silence the Church! We must fight for Truth, and remind satan and his influence that JESUS said “The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church.” The question is, Are you a part of the True Church? What are you fighting for? Are you succumbing to the oppression and compromising your beliefs to accommodate this godless world around us? Have you developed spiritual leprosy that has desensitized your Spiritual barometer that calls sin out? We must stand on Truth in our daily walk with God, and stamp out any signs of apathy and compromise that seeks to destroy us Spiritually! There is a war being waged on the soul, and I refuse to become silent and grow apathetic in my walk with God! Some things are worth fighting for! Living a Holy and consecrated lifestyle is worth fighting for! Keeping worldliness out of the Church is worth fighting for! Standing against sin is still worth fighting for! This reminds me of the story of a mighty warrior of King David by the name of Shammah. Not much is said about him, but the story that’s told of his bravery bears much weight! II Samuel tells us, Shammah withstood a host of Philistines that were trying to ramshack a field of lentils. Many times the Philistines would come and take the harvest from Israel like a bunch of bullies. That day, Shammah said “it may not seem like much to most, but to me “IT’S WORTH FIGHTING FOR.” When the others ran out of fear, Shammah stood his ground and scripture say’s “The Lord wrought a great victory.”

Many Saints of God are growing weary of the constant defense of their lifestyle. The constant pressure to conform to the world’s ideology! They’re growing apathetic in things they once esteemed of great importance! They no longer seek to stand their ground for their “Lentils.” Yet, there are those such as Shammah, that refuse to back down or be intimidated by the enemy. There are still those in the Kingdom of God, who proclaim, “Righteousness and Holiness still matters! We need to get a dose of the “Shammah Spirit” that say’s “THOSE ARE MY BEANS, AND THEY ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR! Stand-Fight-The Lord is With You!

I Timothy 6:11-12_(KJV) “But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

God Bless, JDS
