Intro
We are living in difficult times.
Russia has lost it’s mind and invaded the Ukraine causing death and harm to millions of people.
Due to this war, inflation has increased even more than it was before … it’s just a difficult time.
Let’s start…
Anyone who does not acknowledge that Jesus is God has the spirit of the antichrist.
It’s not the AntiChrist, but there is a person, the Anti-Christ that is coming.
He will come with solutions to solve all of the worlds problems and deceive millions.
I am a Pre-trip guy.
I believe that we will go up in the 1st elevator… the Rapture of the church.
Jesus is coming again but the spirit of the end times is here.
Tribulation begins with the 4 houses of the apocalypse.
The Four Horses
The White horse is the Anti Christ.
The White horse: Disruption & Deception
There will be a lot of chaos and the antichrist will come with supposed solutions that are actually filled with deception.
Next...
The Red Horse: Fear & violence
We have this spirit right now.
Look at the violence all over the world.
Next...
This is talking about big time inflation… look familiar?
The Black Horse: Economic Collapse
These are going to happen.
I am saying this to prepare you.
Next…
We have not experienced this kind of death.
COVID was bad, but this will kill about 2 billion people.
The Pale Horse: Disease & Death
The spirit of these horses is here.
Jeremiah prophesied of a time… when the people of God will not be ready for it.
For the last 2 years we have been wanting to go back to normal… I don’t think the normal we knew before is going to happen again?
Running with the Horses
I want you to be able to run with these horses.
As much as I would love to change the circumstances of many things going on in the world, I can’t.
But what I can do is to give you God’s Word so that you can rise above it.
We will make it… we can run with these horses.
You can be in a season of disruption… of disease and death… of fear and violence and economic collapse and you can rise above all of it.
If you want to study the end times read 1 Thess 4 & 5.
In chapter 5, there is a break in the description of what’s going to happen at the end.
It’s a check list.
1. Run with covering
IOW, you are nto going to try to run alone… you are not going to try to handle this by yourself.
You were not designed to go through life, especially difficult times alone… that’s why God placed us in families… and even spiritual families.
God has spiritual authority in your life for your good and not for your oppression.
He puts structures in place for your good.
Civil Leadership
Spiritual Leadership
Work Place or School
Parents
So Paul starts this check list.
We have to learn the principle of honor.
My dad taught my brother and I to honor him and mama.
If you honor your parents, no matter how dishonorable they may be, watch how God will bless you.
I am not saying that you submit yourself to abuse.... but honor.
In my heart, I want to do everything I can to stay up under the coverings that God has placed in my life.
Why?
We are always better together
Don’t get disconnected, Run to those safe places of covering in your lives.
2. Run with ministry
Approach the problem not with the view point of, How is this going to affect me… look what he says…
He is saying that we have a choice of being someone who is going to protect ourselves?
Or are we going to help others in these days of the horses.
One of the ways people get out of depression is to have purpose in your life.
It’s almost impossible to get out of a state of depression without knowing why you are here.
The moment you start doing something to help others, it helps you.
If you find your self in a place where this season we are in is causing you fear and makes you want to run and hide you will end up deeper in depression.
But if you will step up and say, I was made for this season.
The antidote for needing ministry is to do ministry.
If you are whining about needing help… maybe you need to step up and help someone.
3. Run with Grace
Mercy - not getting what you do deserve
Grace - getting something you did not deserve
A lot of people are mercy oriented, but we also need to be grace oriented.
Give them mercy when they do something evil to you.
Then look… grace them… do something good.
If we will not only forgive people when they do evil to us, but if we will actually do something good for people, it will make a huge difference in them.
People are on edge… have been for the last 2 years.
God is calling us to step into situations people are in and doo good… it will make a difference.
Les Miserabe.
- Jean Val jean - steals from the priest… gets caught… priest forgave him and gave him the stuff he stole.
The tendency is to take… to go to court and get it.
But God is calling us to bless people who hurt us.
Don’t give people what they deserve.
Give them what they need.
4. Run with joy
It’s difficult a lot of times.
How do you remain joyful when things are not going well? … when you feel like crying?
… when the future is so uncertain?
… when we are at the cusp of an World War?
There is only one answer.
You have to make a choice.
You won’t fell like it, you just have to do it.
We have to make the choice to run with joy.
It doesn’t help to be depressed and angry… we can choose to be joyful.
Joy is a decision.
Look what Paul said...
Re-joice… We have to RE-JOICE
Joy is the determined choice to praise God in all things.
