Let us lift up a standard TODAY!

Mark Virkler's picture

Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples. (Isa. 62:10)


The highway He is speaking about is the highway of holiness we are to walk upon (Isa. 35:8). The stones we are to remove are the sins in our lives. The standard we are to model and lift up and declare is that of righteousness and holiness unto the Lord. This is achieved by asking God what sins He wants to be removed from our lives, for the empowering to accomplish that task, and what standard(s) He would have us declare and model.

For each of us, it will have a unique twist. Some will model holiness in the family God has given them.  Some will model holiness in a business God has provided for them. Some will model holiness in the ministry they oversee.

We do not take this light of Christ within us and hide it under a bushel. We don't hide under the separation of church and state (which is never mentioned in the Constitution), nor do we hide in fear of ridicule or that speaking truth may cost us something. We put God's light within us on a lamp stand, so it gives light to the surroundings. Today there is a desperate need for every Christian to walk this highway of holiness, remove the sins in their lives, and lift up a standard that lights the way for others.

 

What are the standards that need to be lifted up?

Look around at the standards the wicked are seeking to destroy. Family, genders, life itself, God, personal responsibility, national borders, sexuality. These are the issues God wants us to model and declare His standards concerning. Declare the 10 commandments (Ex. 20:1-10), the words of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16), and the teachings of Jesus (Jn. 6:63).

Pray: Pray for God to send angels to destroy powers and principalities. Call them down with the authority God has given you. Pray for revival to sweep through His church and our nation and all nations of the world. Pray for the wicked to be crushed under His feet and for him to put quicksand under their feet and to cause them to turn upon themselves. Perhaps you want to receive emails from Intercessors for America.

This interview by Tucker Carlson of Ben Carson is Ben's powerful testimony of how he came from poverty and became a spiritual and political leader. Ben Carson is lifting a standard. I encourage you to watch it and be moved by it. Learn more about Dr. Ben Carson at his website: American Cornerstone Institute.

Reflections

  1. When Israel fell into sinfulness, God called a heathen nation to come and lift up the standard by judging them for their wickedness (Isa. 5:26 – Consider that entire chapter). That is NOT God’s desire for our nation today.
  2. When Hitler took over Germany the church was mostly quiet and did not raise up against him. The result was that millions died in a world war. Church, we MUST stand up and speak and act NOW!
  3. God's desire and my daily prayers are: Lord, bring revival to Your church, raise up righteous leadership, and remove wicked leaders. Let Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let it be so in Jesus’ name!
  4. Let each one of us choose to do the part God has called upon us to do!

God's view: If you are slack in the day of distress, Your strength is limited. Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back. If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work? (Prov. 24:10-12)
