Occupy Till He Comes

Occupy Till He Comes

We don't have to tolerate the decline.

Many Christians have been taught to expect a Great Falling Away and simply brace for it, as if surrender is the only faithful response left. But Scripture never asks us to accept decline as our inheritance. It calls us to stand.

Yes, Paul warns in 2 Timothy 3 that perilous times are coming, that people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, holding a form of godliness while denying its power. But he never says that outcome is guaranteed for you. 

He even points back to Jannes and Jambres, the sorcerers who stood against Moses in Egypt, and reminds us how that ended: their folly was made plain to everyone, and their opposition did not prevail. The example is not a warning to brace for defeat. It is a promise that obedience outlasts opposition.

History bears this out on a national scale. Nations that were once warriors for the faith, once prosperous and blessed because of Christianity, have fallen into desolation precisely where they lost their working understanding of what the church was called to be and do.

Prosperity did not protect them. Only obedience does. We have to make sure that does not happen on our watch, in our generation.

In this teaching, working through Psalm 110, we look at what it means to actually operate in verses 1 through 4, the reign, the rule, the willing army rising in the day of God's power, the priesthood that never ends, while leaving verses 5 and 6 where they belong: in God's timing, not ours.

At any time, in any generation, in any place, the choice is the same. Submit yourself fully to God, then actively resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

This is not a call to panic about the end. It is a call to occupy until He comes, to be what Jesus Christ ordained us to be in the earth right now, in this generation, without waiting for permission or bracing for defeat.

The falling away does not have to happen on our watch. Keep obeying God, keep walking in what He has called you to do, and let folly expose itself.

Christ Is King. Live Like It.
