I'd Rather Believe In You! - "The Imperials" off the "Priority" album 1980

Описание: I’d Rather Believe In You - Musical Devotions – 7.19.2020 https://www.jmoljax.org/

A mellow Sunday morning, quarantined until results of COVID are delivered to me; this time is causing me to see all the destruction from those being led by satanic influences trying to over throw our communities, government and lives. This is the time for Christians not to physically fight but be on our knees, praying in the Spirit for Revival to come! After listening to my Pastors message on-line some things stood out to me in Romans 12:14-21

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Not listening to the negative reports from friends, news and especially church friends that are not aligned with the Word of God will keep your faith strong. Although intended as support the negative kills your faith if you let it. As this morning’s song says “I’d Rather Believe In You!” is a statement to the enemy of our faith and to those around us that God’s Word is final in our lives.
YES, LORD, I would rather believe in you! As Romans says above, it is time today to show who we believe in, standing strong with those who hurt, having compassion, not thinking bad of others but finding common ground to stand on. Be honest and be at peace. Let God have the vengeance because what is ahead for these Rioters and anti-Christian foes is going to be worse than the small time it persecutes us.

Let’s show the Glory of Christ buy like Christ being kind, even dying for them (if it comes to that and it will in these last days) to show them Jesus. I think of David Wilkerson and Nicky Cruz and when Nicky threatened to kill David and cut him into little pieces, David responded “and every piece will say I love you”! That impacted Nicky in such a way that he accepted Jesus and helped turn New York into a revival in Times Square. Read it in “The Cross and the Switchblade” (1962 by David Wilkerson, Publisher: ).

You see, this is all foretold in Revelation as a sign of the times, and although I get railed up and my friends send video’s of this crime, rioting, destruction of our history and the pain that many have suffered since the creation of this country; it does not and cannot make me turn my back on those in pain, or those who have lost everything to those in pain, or make me think its all blown up as I once did.

Satan is the lord of this world and his only goal through all this is to destroy the Church, to destroy Christians, do destroy families, friends and tear people apart! Ephesians 6:10-20 tells us what to do by equipping the FULL ARMOR OF GOD, to fight in PRAYER and ensure our lives meet the standard God has for us.

We are not alone and we need put off those caring calls, emails, messenger links taking us to the lies Satan wants to use to deceive weak minded Christians as 1 Timothy 2:26 says “and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”

God’s love, that He loved us so much, He gave his only Son to die for us! God loves all those hurting and wants them to turn to His Son! The only light they see is true Christians willing to lay down their lives for God’s will and not give into the hate Satan is spewing out globally to destroy the Church.

Remember, the Church and Bride of Christ is not a building, it is not a cross or stained glass window, it is you and I! We must put off all the worldly times. God is in control of the Government, He is in control of all that is happening and it is for good, not bad. It is to draw people to Jesus but those who will not yield will become hard hearted and follow satan not Jesus!

Hope seems lost but the Good News says BELIEVE! God is not done yet!
Lord, I will believe you! You have ALWAYS kept your promises! Every negative report, even from good and caring friends, I will ignore and turn to your WORD for my answers and how YOU want me to respond as Romans 12 says.

This album “Priority” (1980), is one of my favorites. There is not one song on this album that I don’t like. Other albums I like but there may be one or two songs I don’t listen to but this album starts off with “The Trumpet of Jesus” and builds from there. This morning’s song "I’d Rather Believe In You", by “The Imperials” is for today!
