THE ENEMY LIKE A FLOOD

  • WHEN THE ENEMY SHALL COME IN LIKE A FLOOD,THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD SHALL RAISE A STANDARD AGAINST HIM
  • ISAIAH 59:16-21
  • GOD IS RAISING UP A SERIOUS STANDARD AGAINST THE ENEMY OF OUR SOULS
  • HE IS DOING IT WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE INTERCESSORS OR PRAYER WARRIORS
  • VERSE 16 SAYS HE SAW THAT THERE WAS NO MAN,AND WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INTERCESSORS
  • THERSFORE HIS OWN ARM BROUGHT OUT SALVATION AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
  • VERSE 17 SAYS HE PUT ON THE RIGHTEOUSNESS AS ABREASTPLATE AND AN HELMET OF SALVATION UPON HIS HEAD
  • IF YOU TURN YOUR BIBLE TO EPHESIANS 6:10-18 YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU AND I ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DRESSED IN THAT ARMOUR
  • BUT MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SIMPLY NOT WEARING THAT FULL ARMOUR ANYMORE
  • SOME ARE WEARING IT PARTIALLY BUT MANY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT
  • NOW CHURCH THE LORD IS WEARING IT HIMSELF BECAUSE HE LOVES  US
  •  ACCORDING TO EXODUS15:3 THE LORD IS A MAN OF WAR;THE LORD IS HIS NAME
  • REVELATION 19 TELLS US THAT THERE IS MIGHTY ARMY IN HEAVEN AND JESUS IS THE CAPTAIN OF THAT ARMY.
  • HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH SABBOTH ,THE LORD OF HOSTS
  • IF YOU LOOK AT THAT IS 59:17 AGAIN YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE LORD IS NOT JUST DRESSED UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SALVATION
  • HE IS ALSO PUTTING ON THE GARMENT OF VENGEANCE AND A CLOAK OF ZEAL
  • AM SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE GARMENT OF VENGEANCE.
  • GOD SAYS VENGEANCE IS HIS AND HE WILL AVENGE HIS CHURCH WHENEVER HE IS TIRED OF SATAN AND HIS COLLEAGUES
  • BUT WHAT DOES THE CLOAK OF ZEAL MEAN? IT MEANS HE IS DETERMINED TO FIGHT AND WIN
  • HE WILL SEEK OUT HIS ENEMIES  AND REPAY THEM WITH FURY
  • ISAIAH 59: 18-19:

 “ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, ACCORDINGLY HE WILL REPAY, FURY TO HIS ADVERSARIES, RECOMPENCE TO HIS ENEMIES; TO THE ISLANDS HE WILL REPAY RECOMPENCE.  SO SHALL THEY FEAR THE NAME OF THE LORD FROM THE WEST, AND HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN. WHEN THE ENEMY SHALL COME IN LIKE A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL LIFT UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM.”

  • THE LORD SHALL IMPOSE THE FEAR OF HIS NAME FROM THE WEST,AND HIS GLORY FROM THE EAST
  • BUT NOTE WHERE THE BATTLE FOR HIS VENGEANCE WILL BE TAKING PLACE  ON THE ISLANDS
  • “TO THE ISLANDS HE WILL REPAY RECOMPENCE……… WHEN THE ENEMY SHALL COME IN LIKE A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL LIFT UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM.”
  • WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO US?
  • GOD WANTS TO TAKE THE BATTLE TO THE SEA BY HIMSELF BECAUSE OF THE WICKED POWERS THAT OPPRESS HIS PEOPLE FROM THE REGIONS OF THE SEA
  • HE WANTS TO ATTACK THE DRAGON IN THE SEA AND RELEASE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SALVATION TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ISAIAH 27:10;ZECHARIAH 10:10-12
  • THEN WILL HE TRAIN YOU IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RECRUIT YOU INTO HIS ARMY ZECH 9:10-17;  10:5-8
  • THE SAME  RESULT IS ALSO SEEN  IN 1 SAIAH 59:20-21 SALVATION,POWER  AND ETERNAL ANOINTING AND DIVINE PRESENCE FOR EVER
  • IF THAT IS FOR YOU SAY AMEN.IF YOU WANT THAT PUT UP YOUR HAND
  • NOW THE CONDITION FOR THAT KIND OF EVERLASTING COVENANT PRESENCE AND BLESSING IS THAT YOU TURN FROM YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS NOW AND JOIN GOD’S ARMY
  • THE REASON WHY HE LEADS THE BATTLE IS FOR YOU TO JOIN HIS ARMY
  • THE ENEMY IF FOOLING MANY TO THINK THAT SPIRITUAL  WARFARE IS NOT FOR THEM
  • BUE WE MUST ALL PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD AND PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
  •  OUR REDEEMER IS GOING TO THE SOURCE OF  ALL OUR PROBLEMS TO FIGHT FOR US SO YOU CAN BE FREE TO JOIN HIS END TIME ARMY
  • MOST PEOPLE’S PROBLEMS ARE FROM THOSE EVIL POWERS INSIDE THE SEA
  • GOD SAYS HE WILL GO TO THEM AND LIBERATE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

BY COVENANT ZECH 9:11-12

  • BUT YOU NEED TO WAKE UP AND TURN FROM YOUR OWN TRANSGRESSIONS
  • WHAT IS  A TRANSGRESSION?IT IS THE VIOLATION OF LAID DOWN PRINCIPLES
  • IT IS KNOWING THAT YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING BUT YOU JUST FAIL  OR REFUSE TO DO IT
  • IT IS DELIBERATE REBELLION AGAINST GOD.IT MAY BE IN THE HEART
  • IT MAY JUST BE WAITING FOR AN OPPRTUNITY TO CARRY IT OUT

“THEREFORE TO HIM THAT KNOWETH TO DO GOOD, AND DOETH IT NOT, TO HIM IT IS SIN.” JAMES 4; 17

  • I WANT YOU TO SEE A TYPICAL CASE OF TRANSGRESSION IN 1 SAM.15:23-24
  • “FOR REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, AND STUBBORNNESS IS AS INIQUITY AND IDOLATRY. BECAUSE THOU HAST REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD, HE HATH ALSO REJECTED THEE FROM BEING KING.  AND SAUL SAID UNTO SAMUEL, I HAVE SINNED: FOR I HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD, AND THY WORDS: BECAUSE I FEARED THE PEOPLE, AND OBEYED THEIR VOICE.”
  • YOU DON’T WANT TO WALK IN TRANSGRESSION ANYMORE THE LORD IS COMING WITH VENGEANCE
  • FIRST AGAINST THE POWERS THAT FIGHT HIS CHURCH AND THEN AGAINST HIS  OWN PEOPLE IF THEY REFUSE TO CHANGE 1 COR 10:1-13
  • VERSE 13 SAYS GOD IS FAITHFUL.

YOU NEED THE MERCY AND PROTECTION OF GOD IN THESE TERRIBLE TIMES?

  • GOD WILL  SURELY PROTECT YOU AND HELP YOU  TO ESCAPE EVERY TEMPTATION AND EVERY TROUBLE THAT PLAGUE OUR TIMES LUKE
  • LUKE 21: 30-36
  • So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand: Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

  • WHAT ARE THE WAYS OF ESCAPE?
  • YOU MUST COME TO CHRIST TODAY THAT IS YOUR FIRST STEP IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ESCAPE THE PRESENT EVILS  MATT 11:28
  • THEN YOU MUST  LEARN THE WAYS OF ESCAPE FROM ALL EVILS AND HOW TO ESCAPE FROM THE ANGER OF GOD BY STUDYING GOD’S WORD  .MATT 11:29-30
  • ONCE YOU ARE SAVED YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO STUDYING THE BIBLE.
  • START BY STUDYING THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,THEN YOU CAN READ MARK ,LUKE AND MATHEW AND THEN THE REST OF THE BIBLE
  • YOU MUST READ ONE CHAPTER EVERYDAY AND LET JESUS TALK TO YOU
  • PRAY ABOUT WHAT YOU READ.FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU READ ABOUT A MIRACLE THEN PRAY AND ASK HIM FOR A MIRACLE
  • IF YOU READ A CHAPTER WHERE JESUS SAYS “GO AND SIN NO MORE “ THEN TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE SINS IN YOUR LIFE
  • ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE GRACE NEVER TO REPEAT THAT SIN AGAIN
  • YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO  STUDYING THE BIBLE AND OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD
  • YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO COMING REGULARLY TO CHURCH
  • YOU MUST FIND SOME DEPARTMENT IN THE CHURCH WHERE YOU CAN BE USEFUL AND BLESSED SO THAT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST CAN GROW
  • YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO  SHARING THE WORD OF GOD WITH  YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND EVEN STRANGERS MARK 16:14-20
  • IF YOU WANT JESUS CHRIST TO BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME AND BLESS AND HEAL YOU,THEN  YOU MUST ALWAYS  TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIM
  • MARK 16:20   “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. “
  • IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF JESUS IS ALIVE,
  • IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF THE GOSPEL IS TRUE THEN SHARE YOUR FAITH WITH OTHERS BY TALKING ABOUT JESUS EVERY DAY
  • IF YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR FAITH WITH OTHERS YOU CAN JOIN OUR CHURCH OUTREACH GROUP AND LEARN FROM THEM.
  • THEY GO OUT ON SATURDAYS .SOME GO TO THE HOSPITAL TO PRAY FOR THE SICK MARK :7;12-13
  • YOU MUST BE  ALSO VERY VERY  VERY WATCHFUL AND  PRAYERFUL 1 PETER 5;6-10
  • I THESS 5 :16-23 CARRY SOME PRINCIPLES THAT WILL RESCUE YOU UNTO ETERNITY IF YOU WILL MEMORISE  AND PRACTISE THEM

HOW CAN IN PRAY WITHOUT CEASING?

  • REJOICE IN THE LORD   AND GIVE  GOD THANKS ALL THE TIME,WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT
  • PRAY IN TONGUES ALL THE TIME.IT IS NOT EASY YOU JUST HAVE TO PRACTISE IT.
  • DID YOU DISCIPLINE YOUR SELF TO PASS EXAMS?
  •  HOW ABOUT GETTING UP EVERY MORNING TO DROP CHILDREN AT SCHOOL AND GO TO WORK?
  • LIVING A CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT PLEASES GOD IS ABOUT SELF DISCIPLINE AND PRACTICE
  • 1COR 9:25 SAYS THOSE ATHLETES OR FOOTBALLERS WHO COMPETE IN GAMES DISCIPLINE THEMSELVESIN EVERYWAY JUST SO THEY COULD WIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROW
  • WE SHOULD ALSO DISCIPLINE OURSELVES TO WIN AN INCORRUTIBLE CROWN
  • THAT IS WHY WE ARE BAPTISED IN THE HOLY GHOST
  • ONCE YOU ARE DETERMINED TO LIVE A LIVE OF PRAYERSAND BIBLE STUDIES ,AND SERVICE,THYE HOLY SPIRIT  WILL ARISE TO YOUR HELP
  • YOU MAY SAY I DON’T HAVE THE TIME.YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAY
  • YOU HAVE TIME TO WATCH T.V AND BE ON YOUR CELL PHONES
  • YOU SURELY HAVE TIME TO PRAYAND SPEND TIME IN THE WORD OF GOD  IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR SOUL’S SALVATION FROM GOD’S ANGER
  • THERE  IS NO SHORTCUT TO THAT
  • THE GREAT NEWS TODAY IS THAT GOD IS FIGHTING FOR US AND DESTROYING THE ENEMY HIMSELF AND ALL THAT THE ENEMY HAS SWALLOWED FROM US SHALL HE VOMIT IN JESUS NAME ISAIAH 42:22
  • MINISTERATION
