By faith the righteous revolt…

Imagem de capa - By faith the righteous revolt…

Because of His spiritual nature, Jesus was Revolted. And it could not be different.

After all, since He was possessed by the Spirit of Righteousness, He would not be inclined to the reign of the spirit of unrighteousness.

Everyone that is possessed by the Spirit of God has within themselves a revolt against the spirits of spiritual and moral corruption.

For these people, it is unacceptable to have the Spirit of God and, at the same time, be subject to the unrighteousness that, basically, comes from hell.

God does not permit this as a sign of His will. On the contrary, God has allowed the enemies of righteousness to act so that His children, the children of Righteousness, revolt, fight and prevail against them.

This will awaken the faith of those who are sincere but have been deceived. It will make them see that there is a Living and Almighty God that is ready to deliver them.

This is what happened in the past. The Promised Land was not a gift. Though it was promised, it had to be taken by violence. This is, it’s conquest cost many lives. But as the children of Israel took one step forward, they took possession of that area.

Though the presence of God was with them, it did not mean the journey would be easy.

It’s no different nowadays. It has not been different with me.

As sure as God exists, I know He is with me. But never, ever has my journey been easy.

I’m sure you know at least one person that hates me for no reason, right?

Many years ago, on one fine day, I complained and said, “Lord, why does everything have to be so difficult for me? You know who I fight for; I haven’t hidden my objectives from you. Why are there so many obstacles of injustice?”

At that very moment, the Holy Spirit answered, “The fight is great, but victory is certain.”

Immediately I regained my strength and set out for all or nothing. After all, I had nothing and I have nothing to lose.

So here is a little message to those who persecute me: I am going to overcome! And whatever laws try to stop me, they will be used as support for my feet so that I can rise even higher.

And if my Lord permits them to kill me, know that the seeds planted will bear much more fruit than when I was alive.

May those who proclaim a living faith in the Living God be blessed!

God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. Psalm 7.11
