WHAT WE CAN….DO. Ever more reason to focus in on what we CAN do, about the strongholds of the devil, that causes all this bad stuff to happen. We know God loves everyone so much He gave His Son. We know His Blood is the ONLY remedy against the devils rights-through-sin. How do we apply it, make it work for real? By connecting to our Highpriests pain for the concequences of our sin, the church- and the nations sin, in the Spirit. Let that grief have us on our face like David, or in ash and sackcloth like the people of Niniveh, or in prayer and fasting like Daniel. Be in that interceeding Spirit with Him, confessing our sin. Then we are priest of the new covenant. And as it says in 1st John: He will wash away all unrighteousness. The Blood of the Lamb is released to destroy the strongholds of the devil over peoples minds. His rights-through-sin. His blinding of heart that makes them stuck in lies. This has worked every time in the past where individuals, churches or even nations has taken it to heart. This IS the igniting flame of REVIVAL and why God still says: if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Remember we don’t confess our sin in false guilt responding to the devils accusations. Thats the exact counterfeit of the real thing, a trap the devil has used to trick the Church to avoid sin all together. There is a place in the Spirit where we confess in Truth and humility because the pain of His Love and Urgency for the broken is in us. Lets meet Him there.
