ACT!

A C T!

The world is on fire and what is the Christian to do with the violence, rebellion, chaos, and lawlessness now becoming normal in the nations of the world.

Governments of nations are building up their militaries and preparing for eventual war which may come to their nations and which some nations are now engaged in.  I do not have to tell you that the world is headed to Armageddon which may not be too far away.

Here is a Word from the Lord giving specific direction on navigating through this time of warfare in the world, in the lives of God’s people, and in the live of the church.

It is my hope this Word ministers to you as to your place in the spiritual battles your are facing and especially for the battles for the soul of America which seems to be growing day by day by the dark forces in the land.

  Now is not the time to withdraw and say,

“Oh, Well!

Now is the not the time to retreat and say,

“Let someone else do it.”

Now is not the time to sit in the sun

and

 pleasure yourselves and say,

“I am just going to take it easy.”

Now is not the time to run from

 battles that surround you and say,

“I am not ready to fight this fight.”

The Lord of all battles says to you,

“Stand up!

Face your enemy!

March forward for the time

to ACT is now says the

 Captain of the Host!”

If my people do not run

to the battles

 that wait for them,

 how can they win their wars

 and

 be overcomers?

Now is the time to ACT

not to sit and hesitate for the war

 between the Kingdom of Light

 and

 the kingdom of darkness

is in high gear

for it is being fiercely fought

 in the

heavens over each

 and

every nation as you daily

see the governments falter.

The heavenly trumpet sounds

 to awaken

 My people and to assembly

them together

to ACT quickly for the

forces of evil

 have come upon them and unless

 they stand,

take their positions,

move forward,

 and

fight,

they will not overcome

in My strength but be overcome

 by the enemy who

oppose truth and light.

I say to you,

Now is the time to ACT –

put feet to your prayers,

let your voices be heard,

set your heart on fire,

forsake the earthly pleasures,

walk in victory in the

heat of the battle

which surrounds you?

and say,

“I come in the Name of the

Captain of the Hosts

and

I carry His sword of

 truth and righteousness. 

I come to conquer in His Name

and

in

His power.”

Say to your enemy,

“As of this day,

you are a defeated foe

and

your

 dark activities have come

 to an end.”

No longer will you rule over

 my family,

 my city,

my nation,

or the nations of the world,

 for I bring you down

in the Name of Christ the King,

 the King of the whole earth.”

The Lord says,

This is My command -

 ACT NOW

 and

 do not

 delay for much

 is in the balance for either

 you will go forward

 in My strength

and

 My Spirit

or

 you will go backwards

in

fear and trembling neglecting

 to ACT on My behalf

and the

 Kingdom of heaven.

Note:  When I finished writing what He was saying to me, He put in my mind the following:

A  =  Always

C  =  Chasing after the

T  =  Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)

The Father wants us to chase not only after the enemy and put Him to flight but also to chase after the Trinity.

Then He spoke and said something very strange – “Rich, I want you to ACT like a CAT which is a spin on the word ACT.

C  =  Chasing

A  =  After the

T  =  Trinity

Then these seven descriptions of a CAT came into my spirit:

(1)  

A cat does not bark like a dog at its enemy but bears it claws.

and

stands it ground when faced by a foe.

God would say,

“Be like David when facing your giants, stand your ground, speak with authority and power, and declare who you are in Me.

(2)

A cat does not put its tail between its legs and runs from its enemy like a dog but chases after its enemy.

God would say,

Be on the offensive and do not let the enemy take your ground you stand on but chase after Him and destroy His power with My power and authority I have given you to battle against Him.  He is already defeated and disarmed; just declare your victory and he will flee from your presence.

(3)

A cat does not wear a dirty coat of hair.

but keeps itself clean by licking its fir and paws.

God would say,

When you chase after Me, I want you to be blameless, pure, and righteous in all you do and speak.

When you chase after the enemy, I want you to be free from accusations, the pointing of the finger, and hidden or secret sins.

(4)

A cat does not fall from a high place and not land on its feet.  It always lands on its feet and stands upright.

God would say,

If you fall at times be not discouraged for it is I, your God, who will put you back on your feet for I said in My word, “….a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again…. My son, My daughter, know that if you fall you will rise again and stand strong on your feet.

(Note: “His heart pumps God’s Word like blood through his veins; his feet are sure as a cat’s. (Ps 37:31, Message Bible)

(5)

A cat always keeps its claws sharp and ready to use against its foe.

God would say,

Keep your mind and spirit sharp in My Word and My Ways and do not forsake my commandments for they are strength to your soul and spirit.  It is My Word which the enemy hates because it speaks truth and he hates the truth.  So, keep your mind and spirit sharp and speak my Word.

(6)

A cat is a leaper - a jumper who can leap with faith, leap over its enemy if needed, and leap right into the thick of the battle and chase the enemy away.  The leaping cat has no fear.

God would say,

I call My people to not only walk with Me into the battles of life but take leaps of faith in declaring and decreeing your victories in all things that attempt to face you down.  Therefore, when evil comes your way, leap over it; when the enemy brings a battle to you, leap into it with boldness, faith, and confidence that nothing will defeat you as you lean on Me for I am your Jehovah Nissi – the one who fights your battles with you.  I am your banner of Victory.

(7)

A cat has the ability to see very well in the dark.  His eyes glow in the dark when a light shines on them.

God would say,

I have given My people the tools to see the darkness and pierce the darkness with their sharp vision and discerning of spirits and faith. The Light in them when released will dispel the darkness surrounding them and they will walk in the Light as I am the Light.  Where there is the Light there is no darkness and darkness will not overcome the Light. I have called My people to be a Lighthouse set on a mountain top giving light for all to see so they can find their way out of darkness and come to the True Light – Christ, My Son! 

Thank you Jesus and so be it!!
