“I declare our province is in a state of emergency.”
When I heard those words from Premier Scott Moe’s lips, my heart sank. What would this look like? We’ve never been this way before. Only a week following, I heard another voice on the other end of my phone telling me there was an emergency and to come quick. My heart leapt into my throat. Then just two weeks later, I came upon another emergency situation that was cause for great concern. Each time it happened, I knew in my head, He would help. I knew in my head, I could trust Him. I knew in my head that He would walk with me. But I also came to the realization that I needed to let my roots grow much deeper in my relationship with Him and become more solid and secure in His love for me. I knew I needed to receive greater strength of heart for anything that may come at me in the days ahead. These situations showed me that I needed to go deeper to “build my ark” and establish my heart in His Word in a greater measure.
One of the enemy’s plans in these last days is this: to tire us out. Read with me in Daniel 7:25 “And he (Satan) shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High...” Other words synonymous to “wear out” are deteriorate, fatigue, overtire, weary, exhaust, drain, sap, wash out, deplete, destroy, drain, wear thin or tax. Did you catch the revelation of this word? This is a word for us as believers right now!
We see Satan mocking God, downplaying His authority, and challenging the very foundations of our freedoms all the while whittling away at the bedrock of what Jesus came to earth for. Satan is usurping his authority and throwing every kind of attack our way to get us off track or to cause us to faint and give up. Many of you, my dear friends, have become so tired, worn down, depleted and exhausted. During this pandemic, your lives have been thrown in a tailspin as many are seeing your finances being depleted, your relationships breaking down and your mind being tormented. The good news is that we serve the Almighty God who always has a plan.
As I was praying this morning, I heard the words “pillars in the house of thy God.” This comes from the verse found in Revelation 3:1: “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God.” My prayer for you, dear ones, is that you, along with me, will develop a steadfast heart; that we will become strong pillars, firmly established in Him. Rusty Tardon says: It’s time for the body of Christ to get off their spiritual pillows and become pillars in the House of God. Pillars do not lean. Pillars support. Are we like a pillar? Steadfast, steady, stable, unmovable...
We are not ignorant. We see Satan’s ploy. But, we have great hope because the “Greater One lives inside of us! “Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” Hebrews 10:36.
Father, continue to bring hope to our region. I pray for a supernatural spirit of strength and might to rise up in my brothers and sisters in order that they will fulfill the call of God on their lives in this day and hour. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
