Peace Because of Victory

Picture"Cast Our Eyes Toward Victory", Valley of Fire, NV
Today’s the day! The Election of 2020 is finally upon us. Remember, whatever happens and whoever sits the Oval Seat—it’s not The THRONE. And the ONE who is seated there ETERNALLY, with many crowns at His Feet, is never surprised, never outwitted, never overthrown. It is toward His VICTORY that I cast my eyes and look forward to the things to come which make all else an empty abyss.

For...

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Eph 6:12)

But...

The Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us (Rom 8:11) and He gave us a spirit NOT OF FEAR but of power and love and self-control. (2 Tim 1:7)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him ENDURED THE CROSS, despising the shame, and IS SEATED at the right Hand of The Throne of God. (Heb 12:1-2)

For He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him. (Col 2:15)

And...

He has said these things to us, that in Him we may have peace. In the world we will have tribulation. But take heart; He has overcome the world! (Jn 16:33)

For in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him IS LIFE, and the life is the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. ... (Jn 1:1-51)

So...

See that you are not alarmed by tribulations (Mt 24:6) and see that no one leads you astray. (Mt 24:4) The time has come for us Christians to wake from our Laodicean states and strive forth—not in protection of our “kingdoms”, but in the mission of the Gospel. (Rom 13:11)

Only then will we go to our real home for TAKE HEART--Jesus' return is soon!  (Mt 24:14; Rev 22:20)

    I picked up my first camera in 1984 and haven't put it down since!
