It is time that we take a stand

    I truly believe that one of the greatest prayers in the Bible is that of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:16, "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man".  Our weakness is in ourselves and our strength is in Him.  In a day when it seems that the forces of evil are stronger than ever, it is vitally important that there rise up a strong army of "Mighty Men for God".   That a spiritual battle is being waged is as true today as it was when Paul first penned the words, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the powers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".
 
    It is time that we take a stand against the one who comes to "steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  "Whether or not we are successful in taking that stand will depend on whether or not there is raised up, in our generation, a band of "Mighty Men" for God, men who are strong in the Spirit, men who stand for righteousness, ethical behavior, integrity, personal and family responsibility, and who provide protection and leadership within the Body of Christ.  I for one, am ready.  The question I ask is…
 
Are you?
 
Yours because of Calvary,
 
In service of the King,
 
Elder J. Andres Vazquez
