Pay attention now. I don't care what dictator is doing what, keep your mouth shut and quit speaking out against him. Don't sing ugly songs about him or make up stupid jokes.

Do what Proverbs 4 says and protect your heart against foolishness like that "with all diligence." I don't care how you feel about it. I don't care if your flesh rears up and gets mad.

Put it back down and fight that battle in the heavenlies. Fight it with prayer and the Word and keep your faith strong by guarding yourself against hate.

Hate will cripple your faith. It will cripple the power of God in you and you'll lose the spiritual ability to do what's necessary to protect the lives of those who depend on your faith.

That same thing holds true when you're actually the one doing the fighting. It doesn't matter whether you're in the cockpit of a fighter plane or in a foxhole with a rifle in your hand or engaged in hand-to-hand conflict—you have to keep your faith first and stay out of hate.

You can't let hate for the man that's trying to kill you get inside of you. Even in a combat situation, the devil can't get to you if you're abiding by the rules of faith, covering your mind with the Word and declaring the mercy of God.

That was one of the secrets of David's success as a combat soldier. He fought his battles with God's power first and then his weapon—sword or stone and sling—either one, backed by faith, could not be defeated.

Listen, my friend. No matter how much we try to ignore it...or how desparingly we cry about it, trouble is coming. It's constantly out there, and it's heading right toward you every day just like Jesus said it would.

But don't let that trouble trouble you! Instead, chase doubt out and settle the victory in your heart. Speak out the delivering power of the Lord and follow the rules of faith. You will surely see the salvation of God!

Prayer for Salvation and Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. Your Word says,".. .whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved"

(Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9,10. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved! You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13). I'm also asking You to fill me with the 18

Holy Spirit.
