Acting Out Your Faith In a Righteous Revolt

Because of his spiritual nature, Jesus was a Man of Revolt. And it couldn’t have been any different. After all, when someone possesses the Spirit of Righteousness, he is no longer influenced by the kingdom of the spirit of unrighteousness.

Everyone who possesses the Spirit of God is revolted against moral and spiritual corruption.

For such people, it is unacceptable to have the Spirit of God and at the same time, be subject to the injustices of hell.

Although God permits such things, this does not mean they are His will. On the contrary, God allows the enemies of righteousness to act so that His children, the children of Righteousness, will revolt, fight and overcome them.

This will awaken the faith of those who are sincere, but are being misled. It will allow them to see that there is a Living, Almighty God ready to deliver them.

This is what happened in the past. The Promised Land was not a free gift. Although it was a guaranteed promise, it had to be taken by force. That is, its conquest cost many lives. However, as the children of Israel moved forward, they took possession of new territory.

Though the presence of God was with them, that did not mean their journey would be easy.

Today, it is no different. It has not been any different in my life either.

Just as surely as God exists, I know He is with me. However, my journey has never, ever been easy.

I am sure that you know at least one person that hates me, don’t you?

One fine day, many years ago, I complained to the Lord: Why has everything been so difficult for me. You know what my goals are and who I am fighting for. Why must I face so many unjust obstacles?

At that very moment, the Holy Spirit answered: The battle may be great, but victory is certain.

I immediately regained my strength and gave it my all. After all, I did not have, nor do I now have, anything to lose.

So here is some advice for all those who persecute me: I will explode! And whatever laws try to stop me, will serve as a stepping stone for me to climb even higher.

And if my Lord allows you to kill me, know that the seeds I have planted will be even more fruitful than when I was alive.

God bless those who have a living faith in the Living God!

"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalm 7.11
