The Spirit of Truth

Zep 2:3  Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD. 


Some say that there is no fear of the LORD in the land.  The ungodly should fear but they follow their father, the devil to steal, kill and destroy.(John 10:10)  The Christian has greater power  within.  We should allow this power out to restrain the evil in the land.  


1Jn 4:3  and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 

1Jn 4:4  Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 


How do we overcome evil? We pray and follow God's Spirit.


2Ch 7:13  When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 

2Ch 7:14  if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 


Remember the words of Joseph who was hated by his brothers and sold as a slave. God was with him and brought him to power in the world to save his people.


Gen 50:18  His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 

Gen 50:19  But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 

Gen 50:20  As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. 

Gen 50:21  So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 


Do not lose faith in difficult times. God is not worried, his purposes will be done.


Rom 8:27  And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 

Rom 8:28  And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
