How Do You Stand In Such Times? by elated177: 3:18pm On Dec 23, 2023
El Elohe Yahshrael!

Ephesians 6: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

In a society, the more evil and wickedness multiply, the more difficult life and things become. The more difficult life and things become, the more people engage in all sorts of evil and wickedness in order to survive. The more people engage in all manner of evil and wickedness to survive, the more difficult life and things become.

The harder or more difficult that life and things become, the more evil and wickedness increase or multiply in the society. It is vicious circle. It is a continuous loop of evil and wickedness.

More evil and wickedness in the land will certainly lead to more hardship and suffering in the lives of the masses. More hardship and suffering in the lives of the inhabitants of such a society will certainly lead to more evil and wickedness. This is what the spiritual forces of evil and wickedness of this world and the evil watchers over such land or society are counting on. It empowers them because the wrath and judgement of the Creator will always be on such a society.

This is how evil forces are empowered. The evil forces are empowered by the pervasive evil, wickedness and all sorts of vileness in any society. Read:

Ephesians 6: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Such a society becomes a cauldron of evil, corruption, wickedness and all manner of vileness.

Micah 6: Listen! YHVH is calling to the city—
and to fear your name is wisdom—
“Heed the rod and the One who appointed it.
10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short ephah,.which is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,
with a bag of false weights?
12 Your rich people are violent;
your inhabitants are liars
and their tongues speak deceitfully.


Such a society becomes a place where no one cares whose life is destroyed or being ruined so long as money can be made from it.

Matthew 24: 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

Such a society becomes a cursed one where there is no fear of the Creator. And since the fear of the Creator is and brings wisdom, folly rules in such a society.

Micah 6: 16 You have observed the statutes of Omri
and all the practices of Ahab’s house;
you have followed their traditions.
Therefore I will give you over to ruin
and your people to derision;
you will bear the scorn of the nations.”


As the saints, servants, followers and messengers of YHVH Almighty, of Yahushua the Messiah, how do we stand in such times?

Ephesians 6: 13 Therefore put on the full armor of YHVH, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Let us see!

Ephesians 6: 10 Finally, be strong in YHVH and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of YHVH, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Ephesians 6: 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of YHVH.

Jeremiah 6: 16 This is what YHVH says:

“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.


We, Elated177 and the other saints, servants followers and messengers of YHVH Almighty, of Yahushua the Messiah, at such crossroads - such times in the society - will always choose to walk in the ancient paths of the truth, righteousness and uprightness of our Father in heaven. We have seen the good way, we know it and we will always walk in it.

So, in such times, when they want us, the saints, servants followers and messengers of YHVH Almighty, to lie before we eat, we rather speak the truth and go hungry. When they want us to commit sexual immorality or live a life of sin before we get a job, wear new clothes and shoes; we choose to reject the job, wear old clothes and shoes.

Isaiah 8: 20 Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. NIV.

Isaiah 8: 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. NKJV.

Do you, the reader of this message, have the light in you? Are you sure that what you call light in you is not darkness?

Luke 11: 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

When you experience the light, when you have light in you, you come to realize this:

Isaiah 30: 21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.


This is the Light that guides us, the saints, servants, followers and messengers of YHVH Almighty, on the path of righteousness in the times of great evil, wickedness and all manner of vileness in the society. Seek it and you will find. Ask our Father in heaven for this Light and you will receive. For the Scripture says:

John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!
