IF YOU STAND OTHERS WILL FOLLOW

³² David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”

³³ Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

³⁴ But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, ³⁵ I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. ³⁶ Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. ³⁷ The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”

⁴⁸ As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. ⁴⁹ Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

⁵⁰ So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. ⁵² Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath^[f] and to the gates of Ekron. 1 Samuel 17 NIV

“Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Led by a young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott lasted more than a year—during which Parks not coincidentally lost her job—and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, Parks became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation.” (By: History.com Editors Updated: January 11, 2023 | Original: November 9, 2009)

“On June 5, 1989, one day after the Tiananmen Square massacre destroyed the spirits of many of the protesters who had gathered there, an unidentified man in Beijing stood defiantly in front of a row of military tanks sent by the Chinese government.

The unbelievable confrontation was captured on film and thus immortalized. As for the courageous protester who was never concretely identified, he has simply become known as “Tank Man” or the “Unknown Rebel.” (“How ‘Tank Man’ Became An Enduring Symbol Of Resistance At The Tianamen Square Protests by Natasha Ishak Edited by John Kuroski December 19, 2021 updated December 22,2021)

There are countless times that one individual stood up and was able to encourage and motivate others to take a stand.  Look at what is happening now as one individual after another has stood up for American and Christian values against Bud Light and Target stores.  If we don’t take a stand, then who will? 

ISAIAH 6:8

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” NIV

YES LORD, SEND ME!!

                                                               SHOUT LOUDER

 Marcella Ward June 22, 2022

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.

“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.  2 Kings 6:15-18 NIV

“Pastors in Nazi German told their congregants to “sing a little louder” while millions of Jews were being hauled away like animals to Hitler’s extermination camps where they would be burned alive in ovens.”  (Published on Jun 14, 2012 by CleanTVcom)

Who are the ones that are “shouting louder” in our world today?  Do you hear the shouting of the “fake news” media shouting louder?  Do you hear the sound of the “woke” participants shouting louder?  Do you hear the politicians on the left shouting louder? 

Why are they shouting louder?  I believe it is because there are only a few willing to shout louder than they.  As in the case of Elisha who spoke to the servant, “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 2 Kings 6:16 The angel armies of the Lord showed up.

In contrast to Elisha’s faith to believe that God would save them, many pastors in Germany used “sing louder” to try to cover up the sound of the train that carried the Jews to death camps.  There were many pastors who did not stand up for what was happening to the Jews.

Can we ignore what is happening in our world today?  Do we just shut out the news and live in our own world and ignore what is happening before our very eyes?  Until it comes to our front door then maybe our eyes will be opened.  Unfortunately, it is happening now on our front door because of the gas prices, the “woke” culture dictating who we are, food shortages, etc. and also, like in the holocaust, abortion killing our precious babies. 

We need to decree who God says we are.  We are made in the image and likeness of Almighty God.  We have authority given to us by Jesus Christ through the shedding of His blood on the cross.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,  Ephesians 2:6 NIV

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.  Luke 10:19 NIV

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  James 4:7 NIV

Julie Green June 17, 2022  Prophet of the Lord

“For I, the Lord, this day command My children to get up from your places of despair and defeat, those dark places your enemy has kept you enslaved in with such bondage. No, My children, you are no longer slaves. The Lord has brought your enemy to nothing and destroyed his power over you. He can no longer hold you!

So break free from those chains, My children. Break free with the Name and the blood of Jesus Christ. What He did on the cross and what He did to destroy the power of hell on this earth against you, get this revelation. Your enemy is a loser. He is defeated. See him that way. See him under your feet. See him as small as he truly is. You are bigger and have more power than he does because I am on the inside of you always.

Remember that I go where you go. I am always with you. Don't do things on your own or in your own strength and ability. No, that is how the world lives. Live as a child of the Most High God should live in this world but not of this world. No longer settle for second best or for their sickness, debt, or the bondage they have kept you in. I have said let My people go. Those words are still at work today, and the manifestations of it the world will soon see. So get up now with My Word, My children, and arise higher than your circumstances. They can no longer hold you hostage when you know the truth, saith the Lord your Redeemer.”  (open link to visit Julie Green International Ministries website for more prophecies (www.juliegreenministriesinternational.org)

Let your voice be heard no matter what the circumstances are!  The voice of God is stronger than all the voices of the evil one manifesting through people with a demonic agenda.  God gave us a voice that was heard the second we were born with the cry of a newborn announcing to the world, “Here I am”!

God works through His people.  One of the greatest gifts He gave us was free will.  He will not force His will upon us but it is our choice to act on His Word. 

Remember, there are more of us, than there are of them, so let’s all shout louder!
