Softness in the mid section precedes flabbiness in other bodily regions.  If I allow my core to become weak then my borders, edges and periphery will follow.  Defeat never happens in a day it is a slow, ebbing eventuality perpetuated by a term of erosive attack, breach or lack of attention to detailed defensive preparation.  Reflect upon America’s current demise and you will see all foundational failures on our dam of moral malfunction begun by the influences of pressure, time and decay.  Vigilance means continual prayer, education, edification and attention to obedience with regard to God’s commands.

“Woe, to the complacent,” says the Lord through Amos 6.  Our lack of disciplined attendance as Stewards of the Kingdom has led to overall structural failure within the civil network.  It has failed because our fields lie fallow and unprepared for planting, allowing our midsection to become weak and subsequently incapable of withstanding the pressures of erosion.  Stand and the Lord will fight for you.  Lie down and relax and the enemy will take the city from you.  Get up and man your post, prepare your gear and assemble your families for prayer and spiritual quickening.  The fight is upon us and I call you to victory in Christ Jesus or failure in your flesh.  You decide.  Praise the Lord, the Messiah, the Lamb and Lion of God who took away the sins of the world and will return for our eternal, collective and individual judgment.  Amen.
