In January 2025, we will experience a massive political shift. The Church in the United States will no longer co-exist with a government hostile towards her, but will have a government that will admittedly stay out of her way. The battle is not over, it is just beginning. The revival we have all been longing for and praying for could be on the horizon, but are we ready to make the sacrifices and do the work that God is calling His Church to do?

A Good & Godly life is a Filtered Life.

1 Samuel 15We go astray when faith is no longer a contributing factor in decision-making.We go astray when our views are compromised, because we are compromising.We go astray when we know better. (Or at least think we do!) We go astray when we’d rather give reasons and justifications rather than repent.We go astray when we’d rather decide to answer evil with evil.

1 Samuel 14:24-521.Saul took his eyes off of God.2.Saul allowed pride to take root and failed to live a repentant life.3.Saul was no longer sought after for advice.4.Saul started hanging out with losers.5.Saul wasn’t present in moments when people needed him most.6.Saul was impulsive in making promises and commitments without forethought, planning, orknowledge.7.Saul was self-focused, not others-focused.8.Saul became destructive and toxic.9.Saul led others into sin.10.Saul became a Pharisee.11.Saul was willing to harm another in order to save himself.

1 Samuel 13:16-14:23Be consumed by the opportunity, not the odds.Choose zeal over comfort and complacency.Surround yourself with like-minded, passionate lovers of God.Be proactive, not reactive.Get confirmation from God. Climb and fight!Pray for the faith to believe and do what the Lord calls you to!
