“I, the LORD, have
called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand
and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of
my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You
will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from
prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons." (Isaiah 42:6,7 NLT)
Anyone who proclaims the name of Jesus as their Lord and Savior has a job to do. We are called--to be true representatives of Him--who called us--to demonstrate His righteousness (not our own). We are to be a light, guiding nations.
We are responsible for making sure the eyes of the blind (spiritually)
are opened and those who are held captive by the darkness of their minds
are set free. And we do all of this-in the name of the Lord, giving Him the glory for all things accomplished.
Every time the enemy raises his ugly head with lies and half-truths (which are actually whole lies),
we must be in position to declare God's Truth. In order to do this, we
must stay in The Word and be ready with an answer for anyone who
questions our faith--based on The Word.
The
enemy's strategy is to create scales on the eyes of those who say they
believe, but are actually weak in their faith walk. We know these people
when we see them because they waver--wobbling between God's Truth and
man's political correctness in making decisions. They have been
blinded to the Truth and then they promote--what they cannot fully
see--the Truth of God's Word over the "constantly changing" landscape of
political correctness. It is our job--our task--to keep telling God's
Truth until the scales drop and they can see clearly how the enemy has
manipulated them.
One of the reasons
people find themselves in the darkness of depressed minds is because the
enemy has planted seeds of doubt in their minds--causing them to doubt
their own self-worth and doubt whether they are loved or not. The
enemy plants seeds of negativity in the minds of all who waver--not
understanding that their lack of total faith in God--has opened the door
for Satan to enter.
The Word says, through John, "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." We must keep telling, and keep telling, and
keep telling until we can tell no more--the Truth of God's Word so we
can see captive minds set free--and the seeds of doubt are replaced by
seeds of Love--His Love and ours--leading them to a path of His plan.
We have tasks to complete before He returns.
The world is turning dark as it succumbs to the enemy's manipulations
and we are the only ones who can be a beacon of light in the midst of
all the darkness. Are you up for the task? Then let's get busy--promoting God's Truth like never before--to His glory by allowing Holy Spirit free reign in our lives!
