The Lord Gives Victory | Jared Longshore
Manage episode 346700963 series 3338924
You don't really have to remind American Christians that we are sliding down a slippery slope. We all sense that the wheels are coming off. It is an easy time to be a defeatist and an escapist. But Scripture won't let us curl up in the corner. It will not let us freeze up and wait for Jesus to return and beam us up out of our present day Sodom. "But," someone says, "there are giants in the land." Yes, indeed there are. And remember how it went for Israel in the wilderness when they refused to go conquer those sons of Canaan.
Our retreatism is not fruit of our humility, "Well, I just have to know my limitations. I'm simply to weak for that fight." That's not meekness talking. That is unbelief. God has shown us this message many times: When Christ takes the throne, he rules. When he takes the throne, he advances his kingdom. And we must offer ourselves freely in the day of his power (Psalm 110:3).
Today is the day of his power. Christ does now what David did in our passage. David ascended to the throne only a few chapters before in the book of Samuel. Now he conquers from that throne. Likewise, Christ has ascended to His heavenly throne. And now he rules victoriously from that throne.
