USEFUL ACTIONS Most Christians are frustrated and throw their hands up in the air, and weakly proclaim that there isn't anything they can do. We know God frowns on not being brave, giving up and submitting to evil. We are called to be bold - and not timid. So, we have a job to do. We can't escape this world and all that is going on. We are part of it, like it or not. We are called to act. The more we do in faith, the braver we are. As Christians, we love God, our neighbors and ourselves. We read the Word of God. We take care of our brothers and sisters in Christ and share our skills, tools, water and food. We help them. As Christians, we watch and pray. We don't have our eyes closed. We have our eyes open and we see. We see with eyes that see and we hear with ears that hear. This is spiritual sight and hearing. We come out from the areas of sin and are separate. The next basic steps we can take are really useful actions. We can donate to and vote for leaders or politicians who are worthy and who support, for example, unborn lives, freedom of speech, soldiers, the Constitution, Christian religion and our freedom. Jesus is not running for political office, so Christians can't use the excuse that the man or woman running for office isn't perfect. No candidate will be perfect, but he can be used by God. In the Bible it says those leaders care for our souls. We can certainly see which leaders do that and which ones are evil. Our Father in Heaven never wishes for us to support evil. It also says that those leaders will have to give account for their actions. Many Christian give us, justifying this position because they feel that we should support all leaders, even if those leaders wish to persecute Christians, silence their voices, and separate them from their Savior. It is not the case. We are not on the side of evil satan. We are on the side of our Holy God. We can do simple things and complicated things. We can sign petitions and peacefully demonstrate to have our voices heard and to encourage those fighting for us. We can become leaders, mentors and activists for worthy causes. We can volunteer and help others. We can help people be aware of the issues and educate them to help. We can share the Gospel with others so they may be saved. We think it is too difficult and there is opposition at every turn! There is a gift for that, too! In almost every situation, we can see how a Christian with a spiritual gift is empowered to handle a situation. As a church body, or as a group of Christians working togather in a neighborhood or organization, we can do all things through Christ. God knows our heart and He can work through us, to accomplish things we could normally never do! Does this still seem overwhelming? Well, the Holy Spirit is here to help! The Holy Spirit can warn us and teach us. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus Christ and renews the life of the sinner when he becomes a believer in the salvation of Christ. He baptizes the believer into the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit indwells, instructs, intercedes, fills, comforts, guides and empowers. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. We have a Comforter in the Holy Spirit - and He speaks to the Father on our behalf - when we have no strength to pray. We may have a bitter pill to swallow. God may punish our nation or our society. We will watch and will know that this punishment is just. Society has declined and the bad is rising to the top and we will all see it. Watch for God to reveal it and then pray that He will remove it! We believe in faith, not what we see. There is a physical reality and spiritual reality. As Christians, we live in the spiritual realm and that is where our battle lies; we are not obsessed with the physical worldly realm. We will pray for God's protection over Christians, as He cleans house. We fight the good fight against evil and for God until we die, or until Christ returns to catch us up with Him in the clouds. Study end times events and know we will be here only a short time. Pray that everyone we love is saved soon. Work as God leads and produce some good fruit in this life!
