I’m a fan of Star Trek, anytime there was a threat to the Enterprise the captain would announce a red alert and say “shields up!”Today I’m announcing a red alert and calling for the shields to be raised. Every once in a while I get a warning from the Lord. Today is one of those days. I can sense that there is a threat, a serious threat to our enterprise. These are the areas being targeted and the weapons he’s using.
Relationships – especially marriages & friendships; false accusations and unreasonable suspicions seem to be the enemy’s weapons of choice.
Physical Illness – fatigue and pain creating a distraction from what God is doing, from what the enemy is doing and from what we have been called to do.
Confusion & Lies – concerning those you labor with both on the job and in ministry.
Temptation to Run, Quit or Hide – There is an almost overwhelming desire to withdraw from family & friends and go into hiding.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Please take this warning seriously. Here are some practical suggestions…
Repentance – keep short accounts with God & man. Specifically repent of any judgments you made against others.
Forgiveness – forgive those who have falsely judged you or made accusations against you.
Pray for Protection – for yourself and your family & our President
Focus – Determine to look past your circumstances and fix your eyes on Jesus
Draw near to one another - isolation is dangerous at this time.
I believe that we are under attack because we are doing what the Lord has called us to do. Stand firm my friends, stand firm.
Shields Up!
Battle Stations!
