"Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with
the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said,
'You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything
that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and
trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways
of the Lord? Now the hand of the Lord is against you.
You are going to be blind for a time, not even able
to see the light of the sun.' Immediately mist and
darkness came over him, and he groped about,
seeking someone to lead him by the hand."
(Acts 13:9-11)
We all know about the Miracles of the Apostles in the Book of Acts, but what about the other side? Huh? The stance against evil ... the Warrior who PUSHES the door open, and "comes out of the prayer closet" breathing fire, chasing devils, power blazing in his eyes and war in his dance! Paul performed a "miracle" AGAINST the evil that was attacking them. If ever the pulpit must PREACH against evil, against ungodly immoral laws, against the Sodom and Gomorrah of today, against the nudity and depravity, against the sickness of a society heading for Hell, against the popularity of the majority to bring forth the holiness of the minority, against the prevailing spirit of the antichrist moving in slowly and ever so slyly ... it is NOW! We must remember that prayer is a whole lot of rebuking the devil; pleading the Blood, the Name, and the Word against darkness and evil; warring for the souls of men, women, teens, and children; fighting for what's right in the face of the enemy moving through earth seeking whom he might destroy, kill, and steal their soul, and PUSHING!
Preach it, Preacher! Tell it like it is! Slice and cut with the power of the Word of God! COME OUT and PUSH with PASSION to save the lost! Let the trail to the altar be paved with tears and blood! Be a Paul, a Moses, a John the Baptist, an Abraham, and shake the world for Jesus Christ! You say, "That's a little strong; what about the Love?" It IS Love to pull someone out of Hell; it IS Love to pierce the heart and save the soul; it IS Love to tell the truth to kill the lie; it IS Love to be red with blood to become white as snow ... It IS Love!
"It is a dreadful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God."
(Hebrews 10:31)
It IS a dreadful thing if you're on the wrong side of calvary. Huh? If one is a mocker, knocker, stalker ... those arms are too short to box with God! Paul blinded the one with the evil spirit that was stalking him, and in this last hour, the Church will do exploits ... exploits of signs, miracles and wonders, but also the miracles that will thwart the enemy, the evil, those without honest hearts, those whose every effort is to get rid of the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus and the Word of Jesus. Jesus Christ made provision for all things ... this is a War we are in, and WAR seeks the victory, but also defeats the enemy; it's a concert effect of Savior and sword, Word and power, blood and Sin, Rivers and floods, Angels and demons, and Jesus Christ and satan!
Let them understand. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous
walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them."
(Hosea 14:9)
What must we discern? The times, the season, the rustle in the tree tops, the cloud by day and fire by night, the beckoning of the unseen God, the whisper to the soul, the headlines and prophecy lines, the "light of the moon," the nearing apocalypse, the signs of the spirit of the antichrist, the power given to the Church, the assignment of the Church ... the PASSION needed for the job ... the PUSH to open the door and give Birth!
"They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples.
Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples
and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many
hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said."
The only true enemy in this War is satan, the spirit of the devil, that for this period of time, is running rampant in the earth causing the pull between good and evil. It is held back in a measure and somewhat by the Church, the warriors of faith, the Truth talkers and faith walkers, the preachin,' teachin,' reachin,' soldiers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we think we're just going to waltz through those pearly gates without a fight, we just fell off a turnip truck! It will be a battle to the end, a PUSH til paradise, a breaking til the Birth, a loosing til the last, repentance til we rise, and a War dance til we WIN! "On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles." (Acts 14:27) We are in the Church age, the age of the gentiles. It's time to COME OUT; with all the "coming out" the world is doing in their parade of Sin, it's about time the Church PUSHED opened the Prayer closet door, CAME OUT, and did some exploits!

Hi Sheryl Ann, just trying to chase down the license for your picture of Jesus walking on water back in 2011. I would like to use that picture in a project. Thanks,
