Be Strong In The Lord

Written By: Apostle/Prophet John Leonard

Being strong in the Lord and the power of His might. After having done all to stand therefore being girded up with the whole armor of God. Living and surviving in the midst of this pandemic. As well as being saturated in the ever-growing cultural immersion of economic struggles, inequality, prejudice, and racism have been a battle of faith.

Holding my stand as a man of God, as a child of God, called to be a light in the midst of darkness, called to be salt in the world a city set upon a hill that cannot be hidden, a man who must believe the word of God above all else in the midst of collateral chaos and noise all-around has been a battle overcame an accomplished solely through the grace of God, His Holy Spirit and total belief in the infallibility and inerrant of the word of God.

With fear encompassing all around me. I daily hear the Lord say do not be afraid, fear not for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God. With black lives matter and all other forms of doctrines, kingdoms arising with a lowercase k screaming for my allegiance to the movements, belief systems, and doctrines of the world.

I hear the Lord say I have called you to walk in love son. In this world, you will have tribulation but be of good cheer I've already overcome the world. I hear the Lord say if someone smites you on one side turn to the other side. I hear the Lord say bless those who curse you and do good to those who spitefully misuse you, repay no one evil for evil but overcome evil with good. In a world that's screaming, we're heading for another great recession/ economic downturn. I hear the Lord say I shall provide all of your needs according to my riches in glory in Christ Jesus. None of this is taking me by surprise I am the Lord thy God who gives you the ability to get wealth, My people flourish in famine. First, seek the kingdom of God and My righteousness and all of the things shall be added to you my son. In a world screaming beware be afraid to be super cautious not to catch the Corona virus.

I hear the Lord say in a whisper go read Psalm 91 no pestilent will come near your dwelling I have promised this to you in my word according to your faith be it unto you. I wrote Psalm 91 with corona-virus and anything else that could ever come in mind. So my experience of survival and flourishing in the midst of a chaotic world and immersion into the last hours of the last days before Christ return, has been one that has been an enormous Battle of faith, steadfastness, and consistency that has been won and conquered by the grace and faithfulness of God. I am grateful, I am thankful for God's unchanging hand His faithfulness, His love, His mercy, and His truth that endures always. Now unto Him, that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
