PICK UP YOUR WEAPONS AND FIGHT...

​ II Peter 2:10
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.
Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes; Sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you.
It needful to mention as a friendly reminder that God has eyes everywhere beholding the good as well as the evil. Peter starts his letter by mentioning that salvation is a precious gift. Then he imparts peace and grace be multiplied. Have peace with the fear of the Lord. Have peace knowing that your names are written in heaven. Take hold of the grace of God with fear and trembling. He shares that the grace multiplies through the knowledge of him. We must know our God through his Son Jesus Christ. It is imperative that you know him for his divine power and godliness. When you know the Lord, then you know that he is able to deliver the godly from temptations. There are all types of warfare that men and women of God are encountering and enduring to bring them to their expected end during these last and evil days. It is easy to give in to the temptation to speak of things that upset us and frustrate us, but we must still respect the power that has been appointed by God unto his dignitaries. David, the psalmist and servant of the Lord stated that he didn’t mind things too high for him. He honored and feared the Lord for the Lord is not a terror unto good works. We honor the Lord as the author and finisher of our faith. The powers of God that be have a spiritual purpose and must perform his will. He has reserved the unjust for judgment. Therefore, watch and pray that the things we see happen to the unbeliever does not happen us. We pray to be kept through the hour of judgment. We pray to be in the hedge of protection. Let is not be presumptuous as if the Lord is not in the midst. He is very aware and has even appointed these times to be. He is the author of all power and authority.
Jude 2-3
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
