“In difficult times – Heros Emerge!”

1 Chronicles 12:32  From Issachar’s descendants there were 200 leaders who understood the times and knew what Israel should do. Their relatives were under their command.

We need to be prophetic people who understand the times…. AND know what to do.

This week we discussed how, in the midst of criticism, we can continue to move forward in what God has called us in:

Keys:

1. Don’t retreat to your hobbit hole.  As stated in Ephesians, we need to buy up every opportunity because the days are evil..   It’s is a time and hour to seize the moment.
2. Become dead to the fiery darts of criticism.  Philippians 3:10 says, “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,…”
3. Release a blessing to those who curse you.  WHAT!  In Luke 6:28 (AMP)… it goes so far as to say, “Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you…”  WOW! Now there is something to ponder.
4. Know our identity in Him.  The earth GROANS, as it says in Romans 8… Why?  Verse 16-17, explains why the earth groans..   ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
