Amidst A Cultural War
We encounter so many things in our culture, every single day, which completely blow our minds as we try to wrap our mind around the decline of national civility and the increase of human depravity. It seems as if our culture is at war with God: His way, His truth and His life. During this season of cultural war, where right is wrong and wrong is right, we can’t gaze long at this misdemeanor, we must look up. God will highlight the truth, He will shine His light on our life path with His reality of truth, and He will give us the strength and power to resist the lawlessness of generation.
Look Up Encounter Jesus
Jesus is our true reality, He is our Proven, the Father God is our Proof and the Holy Spirit is our Prover. We do not need to rumble in this culture war. We need more than anything to look up, pray it up, live up and daily encounter the absolute power and awesome strength of our God. This is what He asks us to do, believe in Him and amidst a cultural war against Christianity, our truth will not be missing, the right way will not be missed, as we cling to God, dig our life roots wholly-holy in Him.
Followship The Key To Victory
Are we in a cultural war? Yes, we are, but the battle belongs to God. What do we do? We daily allow God “Total Access” to our lives and we step out in followship of His Holy Spirit, our identity fully in Christ Jesus. We live and breathe and have our being in God.
Look Up, See, Experience, Watch, Wait For Him And Follow.
Isaiah 40:26 Look Up
Look up at the sky! Who created all these heavenly lights? He is the one who leads out their ranks; he calls them all by name. Because of his absolute power and awesome strength, not one of them is missing. New Living Translation
Acts 17:28 28 Identity UP

Psalm 34:5 Live UP

Psalm 121 Listen UP
Shall I look to the mountain gods for help? No! My help is from Jehovah who made the mountains! And the heavens too! He will never let me stumble, slip, or fall. For he is always watching, never sleeping. Jehovah himself is caring for you! He is your defender. He protects you day and night. He keeps you from all evil and preserves your life. He keeps his eye upon you as you come and go and always guards you. Living Bible
John 6:28-29 Believe UP
Then they asked Him, “What are we to do, so that we may habitually be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered, “This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent.” Amplified Bible
Matthew 16:24-28 Followship Up
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep. For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world with everything it could offer you—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul? The Passion Translation
