Standing for Jesus can get you to lose your family, your job, your friends, and anything else you can think of. you. You will as I said yesterday go through Matthew 24:9 which says, 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 KJV. Many people will hate you and they even might kill you as the verse says.
With all that said what makes us want to stand for Him If all this could happen.
14 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 ASV
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: 2 Timothy 4:7 ASV
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints, Ephesians 6:10-18 NASB
This all leads us to be in Heaven with Jesus. If we stand and be with Him and have the faith, we will be in Heaven with Jesus.
Last night I fell in doing so, I felt depleted and tired and felt demonic spirits around and did turn to Christ at one point I did but nothing seemed to help. But was it sincere probably not. But this morning it is made new and with a revived spirit I stand before you delivered from it all. I am here to stand for Jesus. and next time be wiser.
We all struggle, and I shared above to tell you that. I doubted last night but not again I hope and will be my prayer.
We all struggle in this race called life in a recent sermon I heard it was said it isn't how you start the race but how you finish.
So with all that said I will stand for Jesus no matter what because I want the end of the race to be better than when I started.
Have a blessed day!!!
