For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
I John 5:4-5 (KJV)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 6:12-18 (KJV)
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Esther 4:14 (KJV)
Even if our nation falls, even if all nations fall,
God upholds His own. Even when principalities,
powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual
wickedness in high places abounds, our mighty Triune God
is greater, mightier, more preeminent than all of these demonic
personages and happenings. Always, always greater is our God!
And if and when this happens royals, hold fast, put your armor on,
then watch, and see the omnipotence of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
as if you were a modern-day David, Daniel, Esther, Noah, Joseph, Moses,
or Deborah! Even if persecution comes God is greater than the Satanic
cruelty of sin-filled mortal men. Even if banks fail, our riches are found in our
Heavenly home. Even if friends compromise, our God is our most faithful friend.
Even if we lose everything, our Triune God is our rock, our fortress, our
habitation, our all in all, the joy and ultimate Alpha and omega hope of our
hearts, souls, minds, and lives! Indeed He is! For as the inerrant Holy scriptures
say, In Him, we move and live, and have our being even as your poets have
said. Even if war comes, our God is the greatest warrior of all. Even if, even if,
even if, even if, there will always, always be even ifs in this sin-filled world. But
know this royally redeemed, our Triune God, the Great I AM, Jehovah, King of
Kings and Lord of Lords, Yeshua, our Redeemer, our Savior, our Jesus is greater,
greater than all, all, all, all our even ifs, fears, and dreads! May our trust be in
Jesus Christ alone!
