The other day during prayer with two of my friends, I began to prophesy a simple thing that was packed with power. I cried out, “the Lord searches the earth, seeking someone who will stand for righteousness. Who will stand? Who will stand for righteousness?”

That’s the gist of what I said and all I can really remember.

The next night, when I was praying by myself I began again with the “righteousness prayers”, and I told God that I would stand for righteousness. I volunteered myself (or maybe just answered a calling) to be a soldier on the front line of this battle (between God and the devil). The Bible says that we are not fighting against flesh and blood. There is a spiritual war going on, and we are just caught in the middle. I really believe that God is looking for people that are going to participate in this spiritual war. He has given us all the tools we need, and now we must accept what we are here to do!

Last night at work, I had a new experience. I was in the break room and one of the guys started talking about something rather disgusting (sexually related). Ordinarily, I would smile and try to ignore it, not wanting to cause any ripples or look like a prude. However, this time something came up inside me, and I was filled with a new strength. I said to him, “I’m a Christian, and that offends me. I would appreciate it if you didn’t speak like that around me.”

Immediately, I could see the conviction hit him like a ton of bricks, and he began apologizing repeatedly. I was not expecting that kind of reaction. In fact, I don’t know what I was expecting because it all happened so fast. Afterwards, I began to wonder why I had never done anything like that before. So now I have some questions for you…

Are you standing for righteousness? Do you tolerate ungodliness because you don’t want to stand out? Why is it that we feel like we should conform to everyone else’s sinful ways, and keep “our beliefs” to ourselves.

God is looking for people who will not tolerate the sins of the world, are you willing to stand?
