Marching Order - 6

Don't Get Cocky

Updated 2/4/11

Matthew 23 : 12 - "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Although I must admit that it's fun sometimes to taunt your enemies, and even Elijah took some playful jabs at his foes, however, once we take the field we have to stay humble. We want God to be completely on our side at all times, and we never want to experience any of those you needed to be taught a valuable lesson in humility moments. God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble, and He will let us lose a battle for our own good, to teach us that painful lesson. Don't forget that it's only your ounce of faith and God's Mountain of Power that's getting the job done. God wants to share the experience of victory with us, but He will not let us become proud and take the credit for what He is clearly accomplishing.

As we need to stay humble before the Lord, we also must not underestimate our enemy. After the sinister betrayal and crushing defeat of the free world's armed forces the antichrist will control the complete balance of earthly power. Further, he will marshal unlimited wealth, committed followers, behind the scenes unlikely coordination between seemingly opposed world leaders, elaborate hoaxes supported by his trusted scientific community that have been in the works for many many years (Pandemic Flu Hoax, Alien Hoax, Global Warming Hoax, Cyber Attack Hoax). Furthermore, he has almost a complete control of the world's news media, entertainment, and information systems; and he'll have ability to publicly accuse, the ability to confuse, deceive, destroy resources, employ highly advanced unusual technology to appear supernatural, and the ability to turn us all against each other if we are not trusting God and believing the best about each other. Truly the antichrist is an evil genius who is unmatched by any super-villain ever. Sure, during the harvest window, we are going to be defeating him all over the board, and at every turn, but the enemy is a very determined, a very angry, and a very vengeful fellow, and he will find a way to hurt us anyway he can.

Be warned, the devil is total evil to the core with no hope of redemption, so he has nothing to loose in making as many people's lives as miserable as his own.

Revelation 12 : 12b - "But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."
