You have to operate from a position of power
YOU HAVE TO.
EVERY GENERATION has seen attrocities.
Some went shipwrecked...some stood in faith.
We will be counted in faith
We will stand with those patriarchs.
It is hebrews 11
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Oh yeah...trials come,but the glory of God is in the men of faith.
God is working.
We can submit,be honed into mature soldiers,or turn tail in the fight.
Without faith it I impossible to please God.
Takes on a new meaning,right?
After those things I told you?
We will stand in faith and let this world do whatever it is going to do.
Come whatever...we will look with our eyes of faith
