Don’t! Not Now, Not Ever!
God is reminding me, “Do not come down from the wall!” A watchman must stay the course, fulfill the calling, and be vigilant and determined. He is to warn the church, the people of God in his nation, to never give up and “fight the good fight of faith.”
Jesus said in Matthew 11:12, “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it (or take it by force).” Often this verse is misinterpreted as if violent worldly people can take hold of the Kingdom of Heaven. Nothing is farther from the truth. What Jesus is saying in reference to John the Baptist is that only those who fight the good fight of faith can lay hold on the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a battle—God’s rule and Kingdom comes to fulfillment through the battle between good and evil. The world fought against John the Baptist’s message of the Coming of Christ and it is no different today, with the Body of Christ proclaiming that Christ is coming back in glory to rule over the earth forever.
If one is weak and afraid then you will never show up to fight in any of God’s battles. Without being dressed in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) you will never be worthy of the salvation of Christ. I can lay hold on the Kingdom of Heaven only by fighting the good fight of faith.
What is the fight of faith? It is knowing what the will of God is and using all the gifts and fruits of the Spirit to fight against darkness by doing and establishing God’s will, His promises and action plans, on earth. We do this not for our glory or recognition but for God’s glory alone!
This is why we pray. Do not give up. Continue the 50 days of Challenge. Continue to…
1. To pray for the Presidency of the United States and ask God to give Mr. Trump the 3rd Chapter of Psalms. We must be asking for our President’s protection and judgment upon his enemies.
2. Take the challenge of 50 days of prayer for 51 Capitals starting this week. We must be asking God to send the Holy Spirit to move over and in our State and National Capitals. If we would pray God would begin to heal our land.
3. All of you who have the calling and spirit of the ministry of Elijah and Elisha you need to be praying for God to move over our nation. Starting on the East Coast and continuing to the West Coast. It is time for God’s Spirit to be poured out like heavy rain and flooding upon America. It will happen if you have passion and expectation, looking to God to fulfill His promises.
Stand on the wall! Be faithful in your house! Watch over the people of God! Pray always!
Less than 30 days to complete the challenge.

What would Jesus want me to do?
