I love to include hymns in my worship time. One that crosses my lips frequently is On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand. Could we take a moment now and lift these words as a decree of our trust in Him?
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.In every rough and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the vale.
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
What a powerful declaration of Jesus, our Rock!
Turn Your Thoughts
As we watch the news and hear reports of governments failing, droughts, famines, wars, and rumors of wars, we continue to turn our thoughts to the Lord. I want to draw your attention to part of Lance Wallnau’s Friday night session in Orlando, FL, last year. He said, “Heaven NEVER gets shook!” Everything might be shaking, but the Kingdom of God is steadfast. It is immovable!
Lance went on to say, “Hell is now being pushed down. This is why it says in Haggai, ‘I am shaking the heavens and the earth.’ Haggai 2:6-7 If we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, then know this, Heaven never gets shook… God is shaking the heavens and the earth. It has to do with thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers. These evil powers are being overturned. This results in political and economic upheavals causing spasms throughout the Earth. Jesus described it as nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom. He said your job is, look up. If you look up, you will see what is behind the chaos.” Look up!
Here are a few more points Lance made that will bring you great encouragement concerning news reports:
- When you see chaos all around, look up and see that it is being caused by Heaven coming down and hell being squeezed out.
- Redemption is physically closer than it has ever been before. Hell, unfortunately, is closer than it has ever been before because it is being pushed down. That is why things are getting so political. That is why evil is getting more evil.
- “Darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people, but upon you, My Light will come.” Isaiah 60:2 So the darker it gets in this arena here, the more conspicuous the Light of God - like a spotlight. The darkness creates a contrast so that the Glory that is on God's people is in sharp contrast with the chaos that is on the gloomy people that do not have the hope that you have.
You can read Lance’s message in full at 2021-Lance-Wallnau-Fri-PM.pdf (aglow.org) or watch it on Aglow’s YouTube channel at Aglow Reset Conference - Lance Wallnau - Friday PM - YouTube These messages should not be viewed once or read once and then forgotten. These messages contain keys that can be used to fight the good fight of faith each day. Look up! All of Heaven is behind us. Look up! God is shaking what can be shaken! Look up! You and I live from an unshakeable Kingdom. Look up! The ground beneath our feet is a Solid Rock.
As I close, join me in making declarations out of Psalm 91, The Message Bible:
- God, You are our refuge! We trust in You and are safe!
- Lord, You rescue us from all hidden traps and shield us from deadly hazards.
- Father, Your huge outstretched arms protect us. Beneath them, we are perfectly safe.
- Because Your strong arms fend off all harm, we are not afraid of wolves in the night, neither are we afraid of flying arrows in the day.
- We are not afraid of disease that prowls through the darkness, neither are we afraid of disaster that erupts at noon.
- According to God’s Word, no harm will graze us. We will stand untouched and see from a distance.
- God has given His angels to guard us wherever we go. Even if we stumble, they will catch us.
Though the earth shakes, He places our feet on solid ground. He is Faithful. He never changes. Look up!
