Make Hay While the Sun Still Shines

When you’ve been knocked down, spun around, kicked and lied to, and you’re going down for the count… you’ve been beaten and left for dead~

That’s the time to dig deep, turn and meet your enemy head on…

And with every ounce of strength, you’ve got left, Stand up and Fight like never before…

Not in your might, nor in your power, but in the power of the God of heaven…filled with Holy Ghost determination, strong in the Faith by the Spirit of the Living God You, Will, Not Fail!!!

Life gets messy. It gets downright ugly and terrifying and sometimes you just want to give up!

But God says…

⁸ We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. ⁹ We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. ¹⁰ Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

¹¹ Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies. ¹² So we live in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you. 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 New Living Translation

Children of the Living Holy God, the One who created all things, the One who said, I will never leave you nor forsake you…It’s Him, He’s the one who is The Way, The Truth and The Life…

He says…

GET UP! You may be cast down, but you are not forsaken!! This life is just a vapor…it’s here today and gone tomorrow! But You, as a Child of the Living God, You Will Never Die!!!

“Make Hay While the Sun Still Shines!” A dear friend of mine from years ago said those words. Grace Nealis, she was a mentor and a friend to me and to many people. Her words Ring Loud in my ears today!!

“Make Hay While the Sun Still Shines!”

Brothers and sisters, we don’t have time to waste…

Stop looking for a savior to rescue you! There is only One Savior and He already did that if you’ll believe and accept Him. Jesus is the Savior!

This is a divine appointment right here, right now!! The words you are reading are not by accident. God wants to tell you something, keep your eyes on Him! Tune your ears to His Voice!

“Come, Follow Me! Take up your cross and crucify the flesh. Take a breath and breathe in the Holy Spirit and then exhale! You can’t see that breath, but you can see the results of it. Let My Peace, the wholeness and the complete awareness of my Presence saturate your being and know, I AM that I Am, is with you! People make promises they don’t keep. They lie, steal, cheat and deceive to get what they are hiding in their hearts so that their selfish motives they can attain. Be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. Ask for Godly wisdom, I will give it to all who ask! Do not look to the past or to the future your Hope is not there, Your Hope is Now, and can only be found in Me. The author and finisher of your faith!! Whether you know it or not, You’ve in a war. A war for your souls, your life and the lives of your children and children’s children. But Do Not Fear! I Am with you. There is a time for everything under heaven…Fast and Pray, seek me with your whole heart. See with your Spiritual eyes and hear with your Spiritual ears…what you see in the natural is being manifested in the spiritual realm and the battle is raging. My people those who know me and who I know, listen to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying…it’s way past time to stay asleep…WAKE UP! You can’t win this battle in the flesh…because this enemy is not flesh but he used the flesh to obtain his results. The weapons of our warfare are these…

^3-6 The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.

^7-8 You stare and stare at the obvious, but you can’t see the forest for the trees. If you’re looking for a clear example of someone on Christ’s side, why do you so quickly cut me out? Believe me, I am quite sure of my standing with Christ. You may think I overstate the authority he gave me, but I’m not backing off. Every bit of my commitment is for the purpose of building you up, after all, not tearing you down. 2 Corinthians 10:4-8 The Message”

Oh, hear The Father’s Heart today, get alone with Him and talk to Him like never before! Many will be deceived because they will not stay close to the Shepherd. But all who will heed His Word and draw near to him and resist the devil, they will find he will flee from them!

Dry your tears, shake yourself off and get in the fight, but fight with the full armor of God, the God-tools, not your own. God bless you, I am praying for you, please pray for me too!!!
