TEXT HEBREWS 11:17-19
TOPIC : FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Faith in God is knowing and trusting like Abraham that God is able to fulfill His promises.
If it would take resurrection to fulfill what He promised, He would do it.
It is your ability to clearly see the future through God's own binoculars, illuminating from a distance, therefore becoming fearless.
Between January 30 1933 - May 8 1945 about six million Jews were haunted, hounded and killed.
Six million in a space of just three years.
Prior to this time, it looked impossible that such in a supposedly civilized society, but it did.
It happened because those who should talk kept quiet.
They wanted to preserve their worldly goods and acquisitions by being politically correct and before you could bat an eyelid, six million innocent Jews were profiled and killed.
These men, including the great church leaders ended up as accomplices and collaborators.
They did not speak when they ought to.
The blood of those men will be required of them.
A priest Martin Luther King Jr started a rights movements in the United States of America in the 1950s.
He questioned the segregation of the blacks at the risk of his life and was killed by an assasins' bullet in 1968.
Those who handed over this faith to us, celebrated death days more than birthdays because it mattered more what manner of death we died.
Did our death glorify the Lord.
Martin Luther king Jr. was killed at 39 years, but his short life is why some of our political and religious leaders can send their children to US today to become citizens. He would have been 94 today, a 94 year unhappy and unfulfilled old man.
If you are truly a leader sent by the God of the Jews then it's not too late to speak out.
This is the time
to exercise our faith in God by speaking out, knowing fully well that all lives matter.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
