There will be no progress of God's kingdom…
against satan’s kingdom…
WITHOUT
CONFRONTATION.
Their belief system must be confronted,
Their belief system must be confronted,
their
wicked hearts must be CONFRONTED and EXPOSED.
This will always bring OPPOSITION.
This will always bring OPPOSITION.
It
will always bring a BACKLASH.
It
will always bring PERSECUTION.
PERIOD.
Strongholds in the sinners heart and mind must be…
Strongholds in the sinners heart and mind must be…
CONFRONTED
EXPOSED
and
DESTROYED
by
the truth of the WORD of GOD
in
the Power of the HOLY GHOST.
Sinners must be AWAKENED before they can be CONVICTED
Sinners must be AWAKENED before they can be CONVICTED
and
must be CONVICTED before they can be CONVERTED.
Before
there can be building and planting
there
must be…
rooting
up,
tearing
down,
pulling
up,
throwing
down…
See,
I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms,
to
root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down,
to
build, and to plant.
Jeremiah
1:10
CONFRONTATION
is the CATALYST for CONVICTION and CONVERSION.
When
LIGHT meets face to face with DARKNESS…
There
will always be CONFRONTATION.
When
TRUTH exposes LIES and DECEPTION…
There
will always be CONFRONTATION.
When
HOLINESS collides with UNGODLINESS…
There
will always be CONFRONTATION.
When
the POWER of GOD meets the PRIDE of MAN…
There
will always be CONFRONTATION.
When
the SAINTS of GOD assail the kingdom of DARKNESS…
There
will always be CONFRONTATION.
The SOLDIERS of the CROSS will not advance the battle…
without
CONFRONTATION.
Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it
was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
that
ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith
which
was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude
1:3
The
SAINTS of GOD must CONTEND!
And
Stephen, full of faith and power,
did
great wonders and miracles among the people.
Then
there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue
of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of
Cilicia and of Asia, disputing
with Stephen. And they were not able to resist
the
wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
Acts
6:8-10
And
he [Paul] went into the synagogue, and spake boldly
for
the space of three months, disputing
and persuading the things
concerning
the kingdom of God. Acts
19:8
But
when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that
way before the multitude, he [Paul] departed from them, and separated
the disciples, disputing daily
in the school of one Tyrannus. And this
continued by the space of two years;
so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord
Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. Acts 19:9-10
Opposition. Persecution. Reproach.
But
Peter and John answered and said unto them,
Whether
it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto
God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen
and heard.
So
when they had further threatened
them, they let them go, finding
nothing how they might punish them,
because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was
done.
Acts
4:19-21
And
when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone,
they
caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the
rulers,
And
brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews,
do
exceedingly trouble our city, And
teach customs,
which
are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
And
the multitude rose up together against them:
and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded
to beat them. And when they had
laid many stripes upon them, they
cast them into prison, charging
the jailor to keep them safely: Acts 16:19-23
Saints of GOD, YOU have a noble calling…
YOU
must, without hesitation, attempt to reconcile…
Hostile,
stiffnecked, unrepentant REBELS
to
a HOLY and RIGHTEOUS GOD.
This
task requires a courageous HEART that is steadfast with God,
a
LIFE that is marked by FAITH and HOLINESS
and
GODLY CHARACTER tried by the fires of anguish and affliction.
GOD
has entrusted YOU with a message of reconciliation…
HE
expects YOU to deliver that message…
All
of heaven is waiting upon it.
What are YOU going to DO about it?
Need
more exhortation? Start here…
This
requires you to get your nose in your Bible and on your face before a
holy God crying out, beseeching, petitioning, supplicating, seeking
and asking Him for His power, grace, wisdom and anointing ...
To
open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from
the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of
sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that
is in me.
Acts
26:18
Inspired by “Confrontation” by Brother Micah Armstrong.
