Fighting The Gods…
The children of Israel were not only called to stand for God, but also against the gods of the surrounding nations. The first believers in the Book of Acts were called not only to stand for Jesus, but also to stand against the gods of the ancient world.
If you’re a follower of Jesus and a child of Israel in the Spirit, it isn’t enough to simply stand for God – you must stand against the gods as well. Maybe you didn’t know that you were born into a world filled with gods, but you are.
The people of this age serve the gods of money, greed, status, materialism, carnality, lust, alcohol, drugs, socialism, music, pornography, abortion, the entertainment industry, political correctness, and a whole pantheon of other gods.
You can’t stay on the fence or you’ll be swept away. You have to be strong and take your stand against them. Take your stand like Moses against the gods of Egypt, Elijah against the prophets of Baal, and Daniel in the courts of Babylon.
Be strong, be pure, be immovable, and take your stand against the gods.
If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! Psalm 81:9
Be strong in the power of His might today and stand against the gods and idols of this world, and maybe even the gods and idols of your life.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed 🙏🏼
