day no. 16,711: the surge of the saints

Jeremiah 1:10, 19

See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant… And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

The meek inherit the earth not because they don't do anything, but because they do what God says. They obey Him and thus He places them over the nations. 

Psalm 105:43-45

So he led forth his people with joy,

his chosen ones with singing.

And he gave them the lands of the nations;

and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

to the end that they should keep his statutes,

and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!

The world belongs to those who listen to the Lord and do what He says.

This will involve rooting out evil, pulling down demonic strongholds, destroying false doctrines, throwing down high-minded, heavy-handed opposition to Christ's reign, and building upon the firm foundation of His life, death, and resurrection and planting with the help of His Spirit and His intercession for us at the Father's right hand where He ascended and is now seated.

The rebels will not all come quietly. They will resist Jesus' reign, but they will not succeed in holding back the advance of His Church. Their gates will not prevail against the surge of the saints. The leaven will work its way through the lump. The leaven works according to the rule of Christ and the world is transformed by those conformed to Him.
