Goliath Will Fall

by Michelle King Eigemann

“if my people who are called My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” II Chronicles 7:14

In 1 Samuel 17 David fights Goliath, but it’s important to remember that it wasn’t David who defeated Goliath… it was God. Today as a nation, we face one of the biggest giants I’ve ever seen or felt…division. We as a nation have lost compassion, kindness, tolerance, and understanding for one another. As Christians have been given a warning shot, an attempt to allow our hearts to be right and ready for the return of our Lord and Savior, but sadly, some of us have ignored that warning.

Back in March of 2020, when Covid-19 shutdowns and stay-at-home orders were first issued, the Lord spoke to me and said, “I’m sifting the wheat.” I’ve seen it. God is separating the godly from the ungodly. It is not enough to proclaim the name of Jesus. You need to live it out every single day. We can’t be the hands and feet of Jesus if we aren’t willing to go where He went, love how He loved, and serve how He served. We should always stand firm for His word but never in a way that misrepresents the very character of God.

Sadly, some who have professed the name of Jesus have been caught up in sexual scandals, name-calling, finger-pointing, and more. I’ve read post after post of Christians who are insulting others for their beliefs, opinions, and thoughts; we can’t allow the work of the devil to influence our work for the Lord. God is about unity, so we can be sure that when we witness division, especially of this magnitude, the enemy is most certainly involved. Those who have been called by Christ have a spiritual awakening that others simply do not have. We have a responsibility to speak the truth, live the truth, and lead others towards that truth. We have a responsibility to pray for ALL those in leadership roles and fall on our knees for those we love as we plead with heaven for a revival. We shouldn’t be surprised by what we are seeing and experiencing; God gives us a clear understanding throughout scripture of what happens to nations who succumb to false gods, idols, and their own evil desires.

Today, let us put aside our differences. Let us lay down our selfish pride and come together and seek the face of our Lord. We need His hand to be upon us, to guide us, to protect us, provide for us and save us. Lord Jesus, do not tarry. Come quickly and save and restore this land. Bless us indeed!
