Who Will Lift The Standard?

Pastor Keith Hassell

 

 

Foundation Scripture:   Isaiah 59:19  “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”

 

I.       When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him

            A.        A standard identifies who we are

            B.         A standard represents our values and principles

            C.        A standard represents to whom we give our allegiance

            D.        A standard is a rallying point in the face of attack

III.    When the enemy comes in, God always raises the standard

            A.        We have let the standard fall.  As a result we are weak, soft, and unprepared.
