Cut This Off Now! A King's Guide To Rule Righteously

The Time for the Hidden Remnant to Rise

Thank you, Jesus, that it is time for this hidden remnant to come forth. This isn't just about a coat of many colors; it's about a coating of many colors. God is bringing His people from the east and the west, reminding us that we are not alone. There are seven thousand more like us. It is indeed time for the hidden remnant to be brought forth. Come forth, filled with the strength of the wind of the Holy Spirit, ready to outrun the chariots of Ahab.

This is the hour; this is the season. You can't make this up. As I prepared for this moment, I felt led to Chronicles chapter twelve. This chapter recounts how the mighty armies began to join David. God, I thank you for this day and for the reminders from my prayer closet this morning. I was busy-minded, distracted by hobbies and thoughts that had no place while trying to get aligned for this call. I had to tell myself, "Hey, busy mind, shut up!" Don't take it personally; this is how I talk to myself and to you. I had to remind myself to listen to the Spirit.

There is a word today from Russ Walden that speaks to recognizing the people God sends into our lives. They are instruments of His will, whether they bring blessings or challenges. Since childhood, I have challenged everything around me, searching for truth. This is why my training company was respected; I challenged norms and passivity in organizations that sought to advance. I refused to be handcuffed by their expectations.

God wants us to recognize that we are kings and priests, created in His image and likeness. Yet, too many of us, myself included, live lives that are not worthy of the king's decree upon us. This is a time to challenge everything, to rise and shine, for the glory of the Lord is upon us. Yes, I will challenge you, push you, and help you cross the finish line into the fullness of your destiny.

As we dive into Psalm 101, we are reminded of a king's determination to rule righteously. David, as king, was determined to set no worthless things before his eyes. This Psalm is a declaration that we, too, must take seriously. We must strive to rule righteously in our own lives, homes, and communities. The abuses and confusions of the past must be reformed. Our world needs reform, and we, as kings and priests, must reclaim our thrones and reign with righteousness.

David, anointed three times, represents how we, too, must reflect on what kind of kings we want to be. We have a choice to walk in integrity, to set no worthless thing before our eyes, and to guard our hearts against deceit. This is a call to action for us all. We must recognize that we are in a spiritual battle, and we cannot allow the spirit of gossip, slander, or deceit to infiltrate our lives.

Every morning, we must remove the wickedness from our land. We cannot let gossip enter our ears or exit our mouths. Instead, we must be diligent in filtering what we listen to and participate in. The company we keep influences who we become, and we need to surround ourselves with faithful people who walk in integrity.

As we move forward, we must not tolerate gossip or slander. We must shut it down and walk away from conversations that do not honor others. This is a time to rise above, to stand firm in our convictions, and to declare that we will not allow worthless things to take root in our lives. We are kings and priests, and we have the power to push back against darkness.

Now is the time for the remnant to come together. Just as David gathered his mighty army, we must unite with others who share our vision and purpose. We are being knitted together, forming a powerful force for righteousness. God is purifying His church, and we must be ready to rise up and take our place in this divine plan.

So, let's put on the armor of God and prepare for battle. We are called to stand firm against every strategy of the enemy. With the belt of truth buckled around our waist and the breastplate of righteousness in place, we will not be moved. Our feet will be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, and we will wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

As we engage in this spiritual warfare, we must remember that our weapons are not carnal. We are fighting against spiritual forces, and we have the authority to dismantle every stronghold. We will declare victory over the kingdom of darkness and reclaim the dominion God has given us.

Let us unite in prayer for our nations, declaring that we will not tolerate evil any longer. We will push back against the powers that seek to control us. We must invite God back into every sphere of our society, acknowledging Him as the ruler supreme. In doing so, we will see His glory fall upon our land.

This is a time of awakening, a time to rise and shine. We are part of a grand tapestry, woven together by God for His purpose. Let us embrace our roles as kings and priests, determined to rule righteously, and let us not be afraid to challenge everything that opposes God's will.

Thank you, Lord, for this day. Thank you for your faithfulness and for the strength to rise above the noise. We will walk in integrity and proclaim your truth, knowing that we are not alone. We are part of a remnant that will shine brightly in this dark world.
