What If? Can we Believe the God of the Angel Armies?

What if everything we did was with the knowledge that God was with us – our protector, fortress, provider, king, and commander in chief of the angel armies?

What if we and our armed forces went into battle, faced giants, and took leaps of risk proclaiming “for God and Country,” knowing the One who was by our side?

What if, when we prayed, we truly understood the real Healer, Jesus, was anointing and sending our prayer with His oil of goodness, life, and hope?

What if we taught our children about this amazing Father in Heaven in a way that gave them permission to call upon His name wherever they are? Where-ever they are!

What if our nation remembered…remembered its call and foundation…remembered its identity in the Kingdom of God…remembered its purposes to defend, protect, and advance freedom?

What if we showed a force like the armies of Joshua, David and Gideon that was so full of God that their very advance and surprising strategies caused the fearful enemy to retreat, fall, and surrender without a fight?

What if a country understood there are mighty battalions of  angels waiting for their orders?

What if?

It can happen. It did happen.

See Psalms 46, 47, and 48.

He's Calling You Closer

Do God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit seem distant?
John, the disciple who witnessed the death on the cross and later the resurrection of Jesus, writes so eloquently of the present and real participation in our lives of the One who died and now lives. Present tense. "He is, He will, He does."
John accepts the truth of the supernatural, eternal life of our Lord and presents the truth to those around Him and to all those who will ever believe and obey.
Psalm 5 assures us that God is present right now.
Psalm 46 tells us he is our ever present help in times of trouble.
How many times do we read these and then go about our lives trying to fix things for ourselves - leaving Him out or as an afterthought as we desperately cry for help?
I know I often quote these to others, yet forget to apply them to myself.
Our good God, His loving Son, and our friend and comforter, the Holy Spirit, surround us, indwell us, laugh with us, dance over us, and extend their compassion to us.
We need only to receive, give thanks, and lift our praises.
He's real. He's right there with you.
If you haven't met Him yet, let me introduce you! He's my friend, my Papa.
He is yours, too.
