RAISE THE STANDARD
So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
THE CHURCH IS THE WEAPON OF HEAVEN
YOU ARE THE ONLY FORCE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE SATANIC DARKNESS OF OUR TIME!
“If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon
WE ARE ON THE BRINK! THE DAYS OF THE END ARE NOW!
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
WE NEED MORE THAN THE FORM TODAY! WE NEED THE POWER FROM ON HIGH!
MEN AND WOMEN ARE GROWING MORE AND MORE HOPELESS
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
“Some want to live within the sound
Of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop,
Within a yard of hell.”
― C.T. Studd
IT IS THE THE TIME FOR WAR IN THE CHURCH AGAINST THE SATANIC GOVERNMENT OF HELL!
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
FIGHTING IS NOT OPTIONAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN TODAY!
THE PRESENT DARKNESS DEMANDS YOUR FAITH BE PREPARED AND DEPLOYED!
PRAYER IS OUR WEAPON!
PURITY IS OUR POWER!
COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RESURRECTED JESUS IS OUR CONFIDENCE!
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
IT IS TIME FOR AGGRESSIVE RESISTANCE
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

2. CREATE A LIFE THAT TESTIFIES OF THE POWER OF CHRIST!
3. STOP FEARING DEATH!
HOW DO WE ALTAR THE WORLDS CONDITION?!
For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Thus says the Lord: “In an acceptable time I have heard You, And in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You As a covenant to the people, To restore the earth, To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages;
