Question Answered

I asked a question recently at my Facebook feed (in summary) if Christians should just let evil flourish. 
I am here with an answer. 

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8
1 John 3:8
Romans 8:9

There may be other passages but these helped me with the question. 

I heard a Minister of the Gospel say we are to stand against evil to prolong the time we can have to preach the Gospel of Salvation. Other than because GOD said so, that’s the best reason I’ve heard to date. 

We know from 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 that HOLY SPIRIT restrains the Evil One from being fully revealed in this world and He restrains the rise of the Anti-Christ to power at this time. He will not always do that. 
From 1 John 3:8 I know that JESUS came to earth to destroy the works of the Devil, the Evil One. 
From Romans 8:9 I know that every SAVED person is indwelt by HOLY SPIRIT.

So, since HOLY SPIRIT is here to restrain the evil one; since JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil, and since all true Christians have HOLY SPIRIT living within us; it stands to reason that Christians must allow HOLY SPIRIT to resist and restrain evil in this world through us. 

So, what evil do we resist, restrain?
Every stinky form of it that is in this world.
How?
However, HOLY SPIRIT provides us individually and collectively with a way to stand. 

Pleas For Mercy

I confess before these witnesses, Father, that the people of this Land have and are living wickedly and are habitually engaging in acts of evil and as such have earned Your wrath.
I am here to ask You for mercy.
I am asking You to pour out not Your wrath but Your Holy Spirit to convict and convince people of their sins and the sure judgment that shall come without their repentance.
I pray people will be stricken with the revelation that they are undone and You alone can redeem them.
Moreover, I am asking You to put the legal system to work for You as well as investigative minds and personnel to route out and locate perpetrators of illegal acts, bringing them to face earthly justice for their crimes against this Land. I pray for lawful and truthful evidence to be brought forth and that earthly adjudication will be a catalyst You can use to bring them to repentance and salvation, saving them from hell and eternal damnation and give them the opportunity to KNOW You and love You. 
I pray too, Abba, that we the Church, each and every one of us, will receive revelation in our own hearts of our sins and that we will quickly and honestly repent and be filled with Your Holy Spirit to the glory of Yeshua, Your Holy Son, and our Savior and Lord. 

1 Peter 4:17  (NKJV) 17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? source

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  source

John 10:10  (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. source

She’s a Miracle

The most encouraging message I have heard in a while now is this: GOD LOVES AMERICA and He is not going to let Her go to hell without a fight. 

Certainly, He has not winked at Her sins and neither has He forgotten Her obedient acts of Righteousness when She has lifted up the Name of JESUS and proclaimed His Salvation to the world.
So America is not done yet.
GOD is fighting for our Redemption.
That being true here is the question: Who has or will sign up to fight alongside Him?

1 John 3:8  (NKJV) He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. source
