Texas Power Hour w/Pastor Carolyn Sissom - "WE SHALL KNOW IF WE FOLLOW ON"

In Faith, there is no Fear of the future.

In 2017, we saw the mighty Right Hand of God move across our nation and the nations of the earth.

In Houston the clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound; your arrows also went abroad. The voice of your thunder was in the heaven; the lightning’s lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook. (Psa. 77:17-18)

We have watched in awe the LORD’S judgments upon the leaders in our national government. We have watched the overturning of wickedness in high places and do watch.

I learned in my journey of the path of life that we cannot “fix” or “glue together” what is broken in life. The wickedness must be rooted out; not covered over to protect our pride; or even to protect those we love. We cannot rescue our loved ones from the demons of their own folly. We must allow each generation to resist and overcome their own demons; just as we must overcome our demons. Each of us must become strong enough to resist Satan and he will flee from us.

All that concerns us concerns Him. On our path of destiny in Christ, there will be enemies, false accusations, trials, tribulation, life, and death. As we continue following wholly after the LORD, we will become stronger in faith, courage, righteousness, and love. At no place on the journey is there an exit sign. There is no defeat in Jesus. There is no giving up on the LORD’S Kingdom purposes. The Lord will always make His own promise true – Then shall we know if we follow on to know the LORD; his going forth is prepared as the morning… (Hos. 6:3).

I find our Gospel heroes today in the story of the three wise men who had such a passion and desire to see the LORD that they followed on until the found him. The Wise men knew the God of heaven was speaking to them and guiding them by His own star.
