Ephesians 6:14 – Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. In other words stand ready with the truth covered with the word of God.

We are living in a world now where good is not always rewarded with good. We have people who dont want Christ and to go to heaven. They dont want to submit to goodness. They want to break down Christians who want to stand for right and find fault with them. Im not saying all Christians are doing it right but we are trying to stand for right. Where would the world be without goodness or righteousness? Ill tell where it would be in a big hateful mess. People would do any mean thing they feel like doing. I know you may be thinking they are doing it now but its a lot of evil being held back because of the root of goodness which is God. Even in my own house Im taking a stand for what is right but my authority is being challenged creating a chaotic or messy situation. If I back off the home would get out of control. But I took a stand and got rid of the messy situation and now the home is peaceful with only the memory of the bad situation. Relationships may be damaged but sometimes there are losses. Now Im being made the enemy because I stood for whats right. Is that fair? No! But peace will rule in my home. All people who stand for right according to the word of God need to take a stand against wrong bringing it in order or casting it out. If this happens more order will return to the world. Taking a stand for righteousness is being an example for those who are stuck in the middle of right and wrong. For the people who are standing in the middle, God does not approve of you. Revelation 3:16 says So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot. I will spue thee out of my mouth. You people who are standing will be attacked by the people who try to reason out wrong. They will try to pull you down to where they are. They will use any trick they can to convince you to see it their way. They will use emotional mind games like threatening to hold their love from you just to mention one. I tell you now to STAND NO MATTER WHAT! If you have true faith in God through Jesus Christ you will always win. Let me leave you with this; Winning does not always feel good but doing whats right always work out for the greater good. God Bless

Prayer

Lord God we thank you for being a strong powerful God and yet still a merciful God. Father we ask You to strengthen us, in the name of Jesus, to take a stand against the evil of this world. Remind us to examine ourselves first and repent so there will be nothing standing in the way when we do take a stand. Lord God we thank you for everything. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
