WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode is: “STANDING STILL”

Eph 4:13-15 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

One definition of still is calm, quietness or peaceful. The enemy is trying to destroy God’s people. But God is saying, stand still, be calm and walk in peace. I will be with you and will deliver you.

Now is the time to stand still and wait on God. The enemy is on the prowl preaching pretty sermons that have no real truth. It is easy for us to fall into negativity. God is needing us to be consistent and not give into the enemy. The bible is full of encouragement to stand strong, have faith and walk in love. God wants us to be united against our enemy. He is waiting for us to speak truth in love which will help us to grow in the things of Christ.

We as the body of Christ have been deceived by religion. God is wanting a real relationship. He has always protected his people. He will not fail us. Understanding needs to come to the body. Do we know how big He really is and what he wants from us? He wants us to trust and stand still, waiting for him to bring deliverance.

Exodus 14:13-14 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

The children of Israel were up against what appeared to be an impossible situation.  Moses said “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” We need to stand still in this day. Things look impossible, the enemy is trying to bring chaos and fear.

But God is reminding us that we have to trust in Him and he will bring light to our darkness. The enemy may appear to be on the attack, but God says stand still and he will fight for us. We just have to have faith in our God.

God also told Jehosphat the same thing that he said through Moses. “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.”  Jehosphat had three armies coming against him and God told him to go to battle and he would fight for them.

2 Chr 20:15-18 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.  16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.

Notice verse 17- We do not need to fight in this battle, we are to set ourselves which means to be determined. Have a made-up mind that no matter what, we will stand strong against the enemy. We can stand strong against the enemy with prayer. Then we are to stand still and watch God move, he will fight for us.

What kind of battle are you facing today? Is it sickness? He is our healer. Is it financial? He is our provider. Are you under a spiritual attack? His Spirit inside of you will provide resistance to that attack and will protect you.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

It doesn’t matter what the enemy tries to use against us. Whatever the attack may be, God will not allow the attack or weapon against us to prosper.  It doesn’t say that he will prevent the weapons from being formed. The enemy is exposed by forming weapons against us in the first place. But God will not allow the enemy to prosper against his people.

Standing still means that we cannot move forward because there are obstacles. But God will remove the obstacles and lead us forward to what He has promised. He is the shepherd; we are his sheep. We will see how he has provided salvation for us from our enemies.

God has never let down his people. Even in what seemed to be impossible situations. For He is the God if impossible. He has not lost one battle. Again, I remind you of the two accounts where God said to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Pray for the body of Christ, that we can be strong enough to stand still and wait on the Lord.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
