KINGDOM VICTORY 3

“Be still, and know that I am God;”

My last post was over a month ago, Feb 8, 2022, to be exact.  Though I have been silent (on here) since then, I have been far from still. I may be retired but I am not inactive. My ears have been attentive, though I may be half deaf. My eyes have been searching, though my sight is failing. My heart has been open, though it is broken. Despite all that, I am VICTORIOUS, because of He who is inside of me.

I last talked about the upcoming Super Bowl, which played out a week later, on Feb 13. At the end of the day the Rams beat the Bengals. The Rams completed the regular season at 12-5. The Bengals completed the regular season at 10-7. Both teams finished the regular season at the top of their division, but not the top of their conference.  Both the Packers and Bucs had the best records in the NFC (and the NFL) at 13-4, While the Chiefs and Titans had the best record in the AFC (12-5.) The Rams were tied for third in the NFC, win wise with the Cowboys, while the Bengals were tied for fourth with the Patriots and Raiders, with the Bills were in third place (11-6.) The teams with the best records (most toys or weapons) didn’t even make it to the Super Bowl, much less win it. And guess what, on Feb 14, 2022, EVERY team in the NFL entered off-season tied at 0-0. They were equal and will remain that way for 7 months.

We see this same scenario played out over and over in Scriptures. Moses and God’s people outrunning the Egyptian Army. Gideon with 300 men against over 100,000 Midianites. David and Goliath. Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Daniel and the lions. And many other examples. God’s plan at work!

And we see it playing out today, as the Ukrainian forces and people repulse the Russian forces as they battle to protect their land and their freedom. It appears Russia thought it would be a cake walk but have found it anything but. Nobody knows what President Putin’s intentions are. Russia may have superior numbers in terms of people and weaponry, but the heart of the Ukrainian people is huge. God is clearly at work. From a worldly perspective, Russia may eventually prevail, but the victory already belongs to the people of Ukraine.

I have felt a shift underway in my spirit the last few weeks. Not a bad shift, not an upheaval or directional shift. Just a . . . shift.  I expect it may be the Lord about to move in a mighty way. I feel it in the reports coming out of Ukraine. I felt it this weekend at the Men’s Breakfast, Sunday service and even at our Rooted In Christ marriage enrichment meeting last night. It was present when Pat and I had a discussion over a choice “to turn left or right.” I chose wrong, to be transparent.

There is a Fresh Wind blowing. And I’m not talking about the front moving through South Texas as I type. Lift your voice and prayer in One Accord to praise God for the mighty things He is and will do in Ukraine and around the world to fan the flame of Revival.

Be Blessed!
