"If You Don't Stand For Something, You Will Fall for Anything"

"If You Don't Stand For Something, You Will Fall for Anything, " this is a saying that I remember hearing all though life from many different places.

As a Christian, this has taken on a greater meaning to me and not more so in my life than during this time of starting this ministry. When God spoke to me concerning starting this ministry, I was presented with a checklist things to do and the last on the list was, " Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

This was the last on that particular checklist because that was what I would need the most. The enemy of faith, you see is fear. Fear of people, what they would say, what they would do, whether they would believe in you, whether they will come alongside you, anything you can possibly think of. In the face of these fears is my Lord and Savior saying,..."I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with my righteous hand".  These assurances may mean nothing to you but to me it means everything; for you see God was the one who died for me, the one who saved my life, the one who laid down His life for me. No One else has ever done that for me.

So as I, and others who have joined me in this ministry, to bring glory to God's name, we stand. We stand for the Sanctity of life for every person, every life because they are all precious in His sight. I know that the time will come for persecution, for condemnation, for ridicule but He says that I am to take up my cross daily and follow Him. I don't just want to sit back and admire my brothers and sisters who are dying for their faith; I want to join my Lord in the fields and harvest the crops that He desires.

This stand is for life and death; a spiritual war; a fight for the very lives of our people. The government can't fight this fight only the church. God's People!!  These are some verses that I keep in front of me.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19

'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me."Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;…Matt 25:40
