- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin
"At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us." Nehemiah 4:20 NASU
Do you know what will wake up a sleeping child of God? When an enemy’s attack comes your way, and the Holy Spirit within lifts up your courage to fight the battle at hand.
While the going is seemingly good, we tend to glide along and relax in our approach to life. We do the daily routines and put aside a battle mentality as the horizon appears the same as the day before.
But such as it is when a bear cub is threatened by an intruder, the mother rises up in offensive mode and declares war on the opposition, in protection and attack mode.
The Body of Christ is being awakened in our time. The trumpet is sounding, and those called to fight will rally to the God of the nations, having been prepared for the hour we are about to experience. Our God will lead the charge, declaring war on the evil that has sought the throne since the creation of time, to displace the Rightful King.
That time of sitting back and singing “que sera sera” (“whatever will be will be”) is over. We have been called to rise up and do battle on behalf of our families, our nation, Israel and believers in the world. We must take up our weapons of war and fight.
The Lord has set watchmen on the wall. They have been calling out that the time has come to run to the front and take our righteous position. The enemy will not just lie down and let us walk over him, and so we must raise our banner and engage in the confrontation. Each one of us must unite with the one to our left and the one to our right, in battle array.
We must fight for the unborn. We must wage war against the spiritual forces aligned against Israel. We must speak out in support of the sanctity of marriage. We are called to contend for the faith, even as Jude writes, “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.” Jude 3 ESV
If ever there was a time to pray, now is the time. If ever there was a time to intercede on behalf of the weak, certainly now is the time. Now is the time to awaken from our slumber and do the works that we have been created to do, to deliver those needing rescue, guidance and the bedrock faith in the Lord Jesus.
Troubled times call for an increased commitment to the eternal standards written in His Word. We are not to let the unrighteous continue to take ground in our nations. Now is the time to proclaim His freedom.
Today, we are being called upon to fight the good fight like never before, and see the salvation of our Lord. Pray like you have never prayed before, while standing strong in your faith. Be not weak hearted. We have been called to war.
