A Remnant Rising

It’s been said that soldiers who endure war after war develop a boldness and strength that surprises even them. They’ve looked deep into the jaws of evil and watched their fellow soldiers be destroyed by it. An awakening grips them in a new and powerful way, as they KNOW their enemy personally, they SEE his dark intentions, and they RISE UP in holy strength to preserve their loved ones at home. The end-times church is no different…

The true church that is wide awake and choosing to not hide from the evil that is overtaking our world, is feeling emboldened to STAND for the Truth of God’s Word like never before. Our countries are getting hard to recognize as more and more evil has been allowed to infiltrate society. If we don’t stand up, who will? We understand fully that today’s complacency is tomorrow’s captivity, and that silence in the face of evil is permission granted.

“But this world isn’t our home,” and “we are just looking for the Lord’s return,” is often the excuse to do nothing and say nothing, but we are told to “Contend for the faith,” and to “Speak up for those that are being taken to death.” This is our moment to be David, small, but full of the fire of God, equipped with the Greatest Weapon of all, the Holy Spirit.

Strength and courage are multiplied when locked arm-in-arm with other remnant believers and for that reason “We must not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as some are doing.” “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12). We must love Truth more than we fear death.

Be a voice for Truth.
