The verse above is no different from what we experience today. It says in the verse above that the kings of the Earth will join to make“war with the Lamb.” Their desire is to remove the Lamb from their system. These are ten kings who usually would have nothing to do with each other joining affinity with each other in an attempt to destroy the Lamb.

Your spirit will determine your outlook on your day. Proverbs 18:14 says, “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?” You show me a person whose spirit is always down, and I will show you a person who people do not want to follow. The people who seem to have the greatest followers are those who have a good spirit. I have several friends who I have purposely placed myself around because of their spirit. I want that joyful spirit that cheers everyone around me.

One of the most incredible stories in the Scriptures is the story of Abraham and Sarah. God promised Abraham early in his life that He would make of him a great nation. The problem with this promise was that Abraham didn't have any children. Finally, when Abraham and Sarah were old, she conceived “at the set time which God had spoken to him.” What truly seemed to be impossible was possible with God. When it seemed like time had run out on God’s promises, God proved His timing never runs out. God’s promises to Abraham and Sarah were sure even when human sense dictated His promises had failed.

One of the great cries you hear from those who have compromised is the need for unity. There are many modern day Balaam’s who vilify those who call out their compromising ways. It’s amazing how the name calling and inflammatory defenses they make for unity are never backed up with Scripture. They simply want unity at any cost.

The Devil is after the home. He has influenced society to attack it with its destructive agenda. He uses the sodomite agenda, political correctness, Hollywood, digital technology, entertainment, gender roles, and parenting gurus as bad influences to destroy the home. If a home is going to stay healthy, it will have to guard continuously against these potent attacks.

John made the statement in the verse above, “I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth…” This has to thrill the apostle to see the children of those who he invested his life in still doing right. He was certainly talking about the church in this verse, but the fact that he talks about the children walking in truth can also apply to your family.

According to the verse above, the most precious thing you possess is your faith. Your faith is what you believe. It is the core of why you do what you do. It would seem to be difficult for a person to quit their faith, but it happens.

The Book of James shows the Christian how to have an effect on those around them. Faith is the key to being an effective Christian. Throughout the book, there are six different types of faith that every Christian needs if their faith is going to be effective.

Recently, my daughter and I were coming home from a revival meeting. We were sitting on the airplane that was taking us from Pittsburgh to Dallas. Everyone had boarded the plane, and we were waiting for the gate agent to give the final paperwork so the door could be closed. Finally, the gate agent came and gave the paperwork to the flight attendant, and then she leaned around the corner of the cockpit and said to the pilots, “There are one hundred and forty-one souls on this plane.” That statement to the pilots hit me right at the center of my heart. She didn't say there were one hundred and forty-one people on board, but she said there were one hundred and forty-one souls on board.
