Fighting The Gods

Wednesday, October 23, 2024

The children of Israel were not only called to stand for God, but also against the gods of the surrounding nations. The first believers in the Book of Acts were called, not only to stand for Messiah, but also to stand against the gods of the ancient world. If you're a follower of Messiah and a child of Israel in the Spirit, it isn't enough to simply stand for God - you must stand against the gods as well. Maybe you didn't know that you were born into a world filled with gods, but you are. The people of this age serve the gods of money, greed, status, materialism, carnality, lust, alcohol, drugs, socialism, music, pornography, abortion, the entertainment industry, political correctness, and a whole pantheon of other gods. You can't stay on the fence or you'll be swept away. You have to be strong and take your stand against them. Take your stand like Moses against the gods of Egypt, Elijah against the prophets of Baal, and Daniel in the courts of Babylon. Be strong, be pure, be immovable, and take your stand against the gods.
