If God Be For Me Who Can Stand Against Us Researched by Pastor Gary K. Boyd

We are fast approaching the most critical time in world history. We are fast approaching the position where multitudes will be clamoring in the despair of darkness looking for God, but many will not be able to find Him.


Why is it that so many are not happy with where they are, want God and the things of God and just can’t break through or reach Him?

Conditions

There are conditions involved, which many are not prepared to meet.

Getting saved occurs by faith in His grace and by a simple calling on the Lord. But moving into the experiences of salvation and the subsequent salvation of the soul is another matter, which is where the conditions come in.


All of the believer’s sin is forgiven, but it is only forgiven and forsaken sin that receives eternal reward at the judgement seat of Messiah.

Not all the believer’s good works will be rewarded. It is only that which is done as a response to His call and plan. Your true, eternal value only realizes its potential in the will of God.

Consider This

So, there are some very important things to consider in your life as we move towards glory.

You can absolutely trust the entire, word of God. It will only injure the devil in you, which is found in self, your connection to the world, and the demonic. If you reject the word of God, the


word of the world will be a substitute. It will let you go free, and injure all that God has established in you.

If you reject Bible prophecy, you will be motivated by the "prophecy" of the world.

Jeremiah 6:10 “To whom shall I speak and give warning that they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the Lord is a reproach to them, they have no delight in it.�


Requirements for Moving Forward

Now, let’s have a look at some requirements for moving forward with our Lord in these days:

The most important ingredient is the fear of the Lord. Without it, you’re nothing!


The true definition of the fear of the Lord is, to fear Him! It is not a whole lot of other things like respect or reverence. It is to fear Him! Those that water it down are always themselves watered down and spiritually useless.

Here are some of the biblical products of the fear of the Lord, which comes by your choice: Knowledge, understanding, wisdom, holiness, dethroning of pride, giving of light and sight, spiritual ears, strong confidence, riches honor and life, peace, generation of hatred for evil and many more valuable virtues.

Choose the fear of the Lord in prayer. Take up your cross daily. Walk in humility before Him and His word. Repent quickly. Throw out your false teachers. Throw out and burn all your idols, bad books etc. Get rid of all contact with the occult. Make room for the Lion in your heart. Study and know the truth led by the Holy Spirit. Pray in the Spirit a lot. Discipline your eyes


and ears as to what they may see and hear. Develop a hatred for sin and evil.

Too many seek the Lord without the sincere desire of repentance. They remain spiritually sterile, always acting in their own strength.

Too many Christians never reach their worth because they think they are worthy and therefore operate in the pride of their own strength. They try to add God to their view of the world and themselves.

Self-Deception

Many are what they are because of whom they have followed. Many have been led to a dark prison, thinking they’re in the light and everyone else is in the dark. They can’t see their own darkness and danger. Many are not worthy to hear the truth,


because they don’t meet the conditions for revelation. They put too much trust in revelation from others.

Know Your Prophecy

Know Bible prophecy well:


Isaiah 45:11 “Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and His maker: Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; and concerning the work of My hands, - you command Me.�

It is the ancient word of God, alive and relevant, in your heart that creates walls and barriers. This in turn creates security, rest, fulfilment, hope and a road to glory! And of course, that is one of the reasons the spirit of the world hates the ways of God.

We are to focus on eternity and not this temporary life. We are to focus on the kingdom of God and not the world. We focus on the invisible and not the visible. We focus on our Lord and not man.

In my own life, I lived in the extreme excesses of life. I had found my life in the world! But now my goal is to lose my life in the world! (John 12:25, Matthew 10:39)


We need to discern and distinguish what is pure idolatry in our lives.

Idols cause people to become “golden calf” Christians. God will accept you if you come to Him, but you must leave your idols behind. Today, psychological stress and anxiety is the plague of many Christians too.

It’s a basic desire of man to want to be wanted, needed, appreciated, loved and accepted. When people get rejected or can’t find the fulfilment they need, they go to the dangerous company of a host of idols, who will give them acceptance quickly. Then they get hooked, because they have gone to the evil one, the dark side.



Hollywood & the Occult

Then it’s much more difficult to get unhooked and move forward with our Lord. If you as a Christian are hooked to the things of the occult, which are arising fast, you are in trouble. Certain members of the Hollywood community have sold their soul to the devil, like Katy Perry, Jay-Z, etc., have many followers who idolize them; it is a trap set in hell. Be forewarned to stay away from devil worship and the occult.

Satan is referred to as the “god of this world.” Satan comes to kill steal and destroy – and lie! The only way you can be truly free indeed, is when you are a “nation under God.”

Jeremiah 18:11-12 “...Return now, everyone from his evil way, and make your way and your doings good. But they said, ‘That


is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and everyone will do the imagination of his evil heart.”

Jeremiah 13:15-17 “Hear and give ear; do not be proud, for the Lord has spoken. Give glory to the Lord your God before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death and makes it dense darkness. If you will not hear, my soul will weep in secret for your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears, because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.”


Conclusion

Do not give the devil the chance to plant evil thoughts in your mind. Do not watch horror movies with horrific images. Satan will gain a foothold in your mind and cause the door to evil to be open more. Stay away from drugs that weaken the mind that


may let demons slip in. This Dark Age we are entering has been given over to the devil to have more power than ever before in history.

Item: The Satanic Temple temporarily placed a bronze statue of a goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet at the Arkansas State Capitol during a rally to call for the removal of a Ten Commandments monument already mounted on Capitol grounds. As you see Satan is alive and working his evil for many have sold their soul for power and glory. They have a huge surprise for them when they awake from their bewitching. Stay clear for Satan wishes you dead in your sin and he will try to claim as many as possible to follow him into hell. Be strong in the Lord, pray daily for our leaders, and watch for the return of our Lord and savior soon, the last trump is coming! Maranatha…………
