“Stand firm!”

Stand firm

“Have you ever noticed that some people get upset over things that maybe you don’t consider to be a problem?..have you ever seen others get angry and really mad when it comes to the ones in whom they love?..have you ever seen someone fight and continue to fight for what’s right regardless if everyone else gave up and folded their hands they still the one stood firm?..for I can say that in all of our lives we will fight and stand firm and defend and uphold the things in our lives that we love and the things that we ourselves consider to be important..we don’t overlook them..we don’t turn away from them..we really run towards the problem..we don’t turn our backs..or turn a deaf ear..not ever..because something deep inside begins to stir us up so too speak..so we get firmer in our stand..we speak with much boldness..Amen..we speak truth but we do it with firmness..and with kindness..but as well we never back away from resolving the problem or problems..but we pray..we fight having on the Lord’s armor that He has given..Ephesians 6:10-18..Amen!”

“For I can’t help but think of Jesus as He came the bible says into Jerusalem..and He entered the temple of God and their were moneychangers in the temple of God selling doves the word says and at how Jesus cast them all out and overthrew the tables..for He says to them it is written that My house shall be called a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves..Matthew 21:12-13/Mark 11:15-19/Luke 19:45-48/John 2:13-16..Amen..but I tell ya the Lord didn’t play around with them..in the book of John it says He made a cord of whips..and drove them out of the temple..them along with their sheep and oxen..Amen..and I guess where I am going with this whole thing..is simply this..so many use the fact that we are children of the Lord..and they think that since we are..that we shouldn’t speak up if we see something..or if something stirs our hearts..that we should be still in the situation..that we shouldn’t get angry..mad or upset..but I can say ever so quickly..that our Father did as He was here on this earth for 33 and half years of His life..but as well the bible says that He did not sin..2 Corinthians 5:21..Amen..He spoke what God our Father had given to Him too speak..Praise the Lord!”

“Just as we should..we should never sit still and be quiet in the midst of messes..in the midst of wrong doings..in the midst of things that never should be happening..we do fight and we do speak up..we don’t simply fold our hands in hopes that someone else will do it..Amen..because we have a voice..and we can get angry..but do it in truth..do it with the word of God..and do it with much grace and dignity..not in strife..or confusion..or by getting so mad that you speak a lot of words that you shouldn’t be speaking..Amen..for we all have convictions..we all have things that stir us up more so than others..so what are those things in your life that you’ve been overlooking?..that you need to be bold and speak up about?..because we maybe could be like John..who went through the wilderness declaring prepare the way of the Lord..make His paths straight..John 1:23..Amen..so what are those things in your life that you need to be stirred up again about?..that maybe you’ve just been quiet about?..because yes there is a time too be still..Amen..but as well there is a time too speak and speak up for the right..Ecclesiastes 3:7..and not overlook the wrongs..so find your voice if somehow you’ve lost it..find the thing or things that stir you up for Jesus..and than stand firm with those things and live them out in your life..Amen..for we all have a call and we all have something that God has given to each of us to use for Him and His glory..so use yours I pray..and I’ll use mine..and together we all can do a great work..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
