Rick Joyner’s Prophetic Perspectives on Supreme Court, the Mark of the Beast and a Third Great Awakening

Fourth:

 This is not last because it is the least important, but because it is the most important. We must grow in love for God and one another. We are told, “Love never fails” (see 1 Cor. 13:8), which could have been translated, “Love never quits.” Anyone will quit at some level except for those who are in love.

 We must love God above all to love all as we should. “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing,” and this is the main thing we are called to do. This will be the main thing that determines if we will be successful human beings or not when we come to the great Judgment Day.

 We are also commanded to love our enemies. The gay agenda has turned into the biggest enemy of Christianity in America at this time. Extreme elements within the agenda are resolved to drive Christians into “the closet,” just as they were forced to live for so long. Other enemies of Christianity are joining with them in seeking to drive Christ out of our culture. This is the definition of “antichrist.” Even so, we are told that our war is “not against flesh and blood” (see Eph. 6:12) or people, but against the spiritual forces that have them in bondage.

We are also told that we Christians have been given divinely powerful weapons that can bring down every stronghold exalting itself against the knowledge of God (see 2 Cor. 10:4-5). We will address this in a future Bulletin, but this is a battle we cannot lose if we follow “the Captain of the host,” or the Captain of God’s armies.

We must keep in mind that during the greatest times of darkness, the Lord raised up His greatest lights. Some of those greatest lights were those who came out of darkness, like Paul the Apostle. Paul was possibly the greatest enemy of the church for a time, and he was transformed into possibly the greatest friend of God and builder of the church.

Let us keep in mind that even those who, at this time, may be in the greatest opposition to God and His truth, if saved, can become some of the greatest champions of the faith. The transformation of the enemies of God into friends of God is the greatest victory of all. This will happen to many if the present followers of Christ will stand up as the champions of the faith we are called to be. We are here now for such a time as this, and it is now our turn.
