4 Things God Is Asking Of You

 

 

Among other things, Hebrews 11:33 mentions four things that believers in God were able to do in the days of old -

                                        #1 subdue kingdoms
                                        #2 wrought righteousness
                                        #3 obtain promises
                                        #4 stop the mouths of lions
 

Those who accomplished these mighty feats for God did it all "through faith." They, too, were human just as we are today, yet they did great things because they put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

When I read this Scripture, it was as if the Holy Spirit was challenging me to stretch my faith and believe for the same in my life and in the lives of those for whom I am praying.

I pass this challenge on to each of you as well.

 

#1 Subdue Kingdoms

 

In order to do that we must be dressed in the whole armor of God and be determined like never before to be the prayer warriors that Jesus called us to be. The two kingdoms that need to come down are the Kingdoms of Satan and Self. Through intercessory prayer - using the weapons of our warfare that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds - we can certainly tear down fortresses in people's lives. Using the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, the Power of the Holy Spirit, and the High Praises of God, we can get the job done.

 

#2 Wrought Righteousness

In a world where "everything goes" and evil is called good and good evil, we need to lift up the standard of righteousness and holiness as outlined in the Holy Scriptures. In our daily conversations, we can preach and teach what the Word of God has to say as opposed to relativism.

 

#3 Obtain Promises

For every situation that we face, there is a promise to cover it that will bring the Victory. We need to "obtain promises" by studying and searching the Word of God until we find the one that we so desperately need and then use it by faith to get our Breakthrough.

 

#4 Stop the Mouths of Lions

Lastly, the devil is likened to a roaring lion and is also referred to as the "accuser of the brethren." The devil's mouth must be stopped against us personally and against all those who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 

Likewise, the devil's mouth must be stopped who feeds our unsaved loved ones and others with his lies as opposed to the Truth of God's Word. May we speak one word of Truth today to someone which will make a difference in their lives.

 

2 Timothy 4:2 commands - "...be instant in season, out of season..."

What a challenge for all of us this day.

Through Faith in Jesus, we can get the job done.

 

What do you say?
Let's do it!

Jesus deserves the highest honor, praise, and worship from all of His creation.

Habakkuk 2:14 says - "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."

May God enable us by His Grace to accomplish His plans and purposes for our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
