"For the Vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail; though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay."
Habakkuk 2:3
The picture of this cross took my breath away. It looks as if angels have attached their wings upon it. To me, this picture of the cross encompasses not only that Jesus died for us, but it also reminded me of Psalm 91:11-12, "For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up..." (NKJV). It's a powerful, beautiful reminder of our God - what He's capable of, what He does for us, and how much He loves us.
I've tried for weeks to write this blog. Honestly, I sat down to write it on Inauguration day, but the words just wouldn't come. Well, the words came, but they were my words, not God's words. I always try to write when I feel the Lord speaking through me, making sure I'm sharing what He's put on my heart to you and to me. I believe He speaks through me, so I only want to write His words, not mine. But that day and several days after, all the words were my own. I was upset. I was angry. I was heartbroken. I was afraid. But then I heard the Lord say, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV). I knew then that the enemy had taken over, so I regrouped. I went to my knees and sought God. He took me first to the verse above in Habakkuk 2:3 "For the Vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail; though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay." After God gave me this verse, I've just been letting it stir in my heart. I've been listening and trying to hear what God is telling me.
I know I may lose some of you at this point because this topic seems political; but I ask that you keep on reading because I believe it's much more than that. It's not political. It's spiritual. It's about what God has called us to do. It's about His word. I believe it is time for us to take a stand, to call good as good and evil for evil - to point out what vehemently goes against His word. God has not called us to be silent. He has not called us to sit back and let the enemy destroy, or get a foothold in our lives and in our churches. He's called us to speak up for Him, for His word.
It's no secret if you know me that I want our President to be President Trump. I believe he is our President, and I believe this election was stolen. I know that sounds crazy because Biden is in office. I've even made sure that I am not following man, because it's important that we never follow man, but that we follow God. But I believe that God chose Donald Trump for such a time as this. I believe God put him in office to do His work and I don't think He's finished with him yet. This doesn't mean that I love everything about him as a person. He has flaws - we all do. He is not perfect - none of us are. I won't list all of the positive things he's done for America. You can look it up. The list is too long to put here. But the Bible tells us we are to judge only by the fruits of the spirit, nothing else. I see a change in him. I see his love of country and his love for Americans, but I now also see a love for Jesus.
Why am I saying all of this? It does seem like I am going around the world, but this is a hard topic that God has laid on my heart. The things I have seen take place from the Biden administration - the abortion laws allowing us to kill our babies; bringing homosexuality into the forefront and making it seem okay; allowing men to use women's bathrooms; appointing a transgender as Assistant Health Secretary - all of these things go completely and totally against the word of God. We are not supposed to sit by in silence and allow this to happen! Keep praying. Don't give up. The very second we give up or let Satan give us one shred of doubt, he pounces on us. Rebuke him in the name of Jesus! Cry out to God to save our land. Storm the courts of Heaven and pray against these things happening today that go against God's word.
I come to you today with a word of hope and encouragement. God is not done. God never goes back on His promises. His word does not come back to us void. Make no mistake, we are in a spiritual battle unlike we've ever seen. This is not about Republican versus Democrat. This is about good versus evil. We are in a spiritual battle and it's time for us to rise up! Psalm 27:3 says, "Though an army besiege me, My heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident." (NIV) We are confident because "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 (NIV) Be confident in your prayers. Be confident in your hearts. God is not happy when He sees things taking place in our country that goes against His word. He tells us in His word that where two or more are gathered, He will be there with us. There are millions of us praying for our country.
I will close with this. Deuteronomy 20:9 says, "For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory". (NIV) He's with us, friends. He's fighting for us. His ways and His thoughts are higher than ours. It may seem bleak right now, but remember all that God has given up for us because of His great love for us. This picture of this cross tells the whole story. And the verse God gave me weeks ago....well, it tells the story, too. The vision is at an appointed time, not a specific date. Though it tarries, wait for it because it will surely come. I love this part. God tells us to seek Him and honor Him in all we do. Keep praying. Keep praising Him. Because as Habakkuk says, in the end it will speak and it will not lie. It will not tarry. Press on. Keep your eyes toward Heaven and rely on God's word. He's not done. It will come in such a way that will give all Glory to Him, and it will be perfect. He loves us just that much.
I love you all,
Kacey
