Introduction

I am once again moved and led by the Holy Spirit to pen a book in this year of 2021—the year of the Pandemic, the year of chaos and racial hate and tension; also the year of gargantuan persecution of the Church, accompanied by demonic assaults and attacks of Planet Earth by Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.

As always, this book is written as a Soul Winning Tool. And it is transcribed to instruct BELIEVERS to: Endure hardness as good soldiers and STAND!!!"

For "we wrestle-not against flesh-and-blood but against Spiritual Wickedness in High Places."

I pray that all who read this book will accept our Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and STAND against the wiles and onslaughts of the Kingdom of Darkness…

Looking to Jesus; "THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH…

Chapter One

The Old Testament Prophet, Isaiah; and the New Testament, Apostle Paul—admonishes us to STAND

Isaiah Chapter 40:

1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

² Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

In the above verses, the prophet tells Israel, the people of God, to visualize her warfare as being over and that Israel should comfort one another because Jehovah God had forgiven them of their sins.

Believers, in the year of 2021—even though we see chaos, pandemics and destructions all around us, we can rest in Pease and Stand, with the knowledge and assurance that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is holding us in the Palms of His Hands…

A prophetic voice of the prophet Isaiah, concerning John the Baptist, crying out to Judah and even to us in the closing of the year 2021—exhorting us to prepare for the coming of our King and STAND

³ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

⁴ Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

⁵ And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

A voice cries out proclaiming the brevity of life

⁶ The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

⁷ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

⁸ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Jesus will come to Jerusalem one day, to set up His Millennium Kingdom and nurture and Reign over His Flock.

⁹ O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

¹⁰ Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

¹¹ He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

The Omniscience and Greatness of our God

¹² Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and
