August 4 / Every Day God: Will the REAL Christians Please Stand?

 

Jeremiah 46:12-28Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹² The nations have heard of your disgrace and shame, and your cry has filled the earth. For warrior has stumbled against and thrown down warrior, and they have fallen both of them together.

¹³ The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and his smiting of the land of Egypt:

¹⁴ Declare in Egypt and proclaim in Migdol; and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand forth and get yourself ready, for the sword devours round about you.

¹⁵ Why is your strong one [the sacred bull-god Apis] swept and dragged away? He stood not, because the Lord drove him and thrust him down.

¹⁶ [The Lord] made many to stumble and fall; yes, they fell one upon another. And they said, Arise, and let us go back to our own people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword of the oppressor.

¹⁷ They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is destroyed and is only a noise; he has let the appointed time [in which God had him on probation] pass by!

¹⁸ As I live, says the King, Whose name is the Lord of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he [the king of Babylon, standing out above other rulers] come.

¹⁹ O you daughter who dwells in Egypt and you who dwell with her, furnish yourselves [with all you will need] to go into exile, for Memphis will be waste, desolate, and burned up, without inhabitant.

²⁰ Egypt is a very fair heifer [like Apis the bull-god, to which the country is, so to speak, espoused], but destruction [a gadfly] is coming—out of the north it is coming [against her]!

²¹ Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves [in the stall], for they also are turned back and are fleeing together; they do not stand, because the day of their calamity is coming upon them, the time of their visitation (their inspection and punishment).

²² The sound [of Egypt fleeing from the enemy] is like the rustling of an escaping serpent, for her foes advance with a mighty army and come against her with axes, like those who fell trees and cut wood.

²³ They shall cut down her forest, says the Lord, though it is impenetrable, because they [the invading army] are more numerous than locusts and cannot be counted.

²⁴ The Daughter of Egypt shall be disgraced; she shall be delivered into the hands of the people of the north [the Chaldeans].

²⁵ The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will visit punishment upon Amon [the chief god of the sacred city, the capital of Upper Egypt] of No or Thebes, and upon Pharaoh and Egypt, with her gods and her kings—even Pharaoh and all those [Jews and others] who put their trust in [Pharaoh as a support against Babylon].

²⁶ And I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hands of his servants. Afterward [Egypt] will be inhabited as in the days of old, says the Lord.

²⁷ But fear not, O My servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their exile; and Jacob will return and be quiet and at ease, and none will make him afraid.

²⁸ Fear not, O Jacob My servant, says the Lord, for I am with you. For I will make a full and complete end of all the nations to which I have driven you; yet I will not make a full end of you. But I will chasten and correct you in just measure, and I will not hold you guiltless by any means or leave you unpunished.

America has turned her back on God. But there is a remnant who serves God. 

 Romans 9:27 - Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 

The God fearing Christians. Not the ones who say they are Christians, and yet they support leaders in our country who are going directly against God's word. These so called Christians support mass murder of innocent babies still in the womb. These so called Christians support men marrying men, and women marrying women. They are Christians in name only. They are believing a lie.
Matthew 24:24 - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

But, there is a remnant that is made up of REAL Christians. Praise God! And God has promised to protect this remnant that is unafraid to stand for the truth in God's word. Joel 2:32 - And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

God is saying, "Fear not!" America will be destroyed. But God's people, the REAL God's people, will be saved! We have nothing to fear if we are supporting the TRUTH of God's word. But if we are standing with those who are against God's word, we will fall right along with them! His word is explicitly clear on this.

It's time to take a stand, folks. Maybe you are scared of taking a stand in support of God's word among your so-called friends. Maybe you're ashamed to admit you have been voting against the Word of God for many years. It's not too late to repent from your evil ways and be converted! Find a place and cry, moan and travail for your sins! You will be forgiven! And then start speaking up for truth! Remember, if you're ashamed of truth now, Jesus will be ashamed of you later!

Luke 9:26Amplified Bible (AMP)

²⁶ Because whoever is ashamed of Me and of My teachings, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in the glory (the splendor and majesty) of Himself and of the Father and of the holy angels.

Matthew 10:32Amplified Bible (AMP)

³² Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me [out of a state of oneness with Me], I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and confess [that I am abiding in] him.

"Dear God, forgive me for all the times I have sat silently when people have spoken out proudly about their beliefs about things that are directly against Your word! You hung on the Cross for me while you were laughed at, scorned, ridiculed, and spit on! Surely I can endure a little scorn for You! I want to be among the remnant who is saved when thousands are falling all around me.

Psalm 91:7Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

All I have to do is simply stand for You! And You will stand for me! Your word is a light to my pathway. It is sure. Steadfast. Jesus, thank You for Your word. How I love You. AMEN."
