Today is the first day of the year of 2022. Everyone is glad that
the year 2021 is past. The ending of one year and going into the
next is typically done so with reflection. Hope is always the one
thing everyone has with expectation of something better than last
year. But this is not like any other time in our history. Things
are looking pretty bad.  


We have all been witnessing the end of this nation. The pandemic
is back and raging, and evil is exploding in ways no one has ever
imagined. Fear is gripping all the people, and what is coming
will pale in comparison from last year. 


This morning I saw a lot of newly posted videos just put out for
2022. All of which were nothing more than click bait. People
putting out videos on what the Lord specially told them what is
coming in 2022, others saying, they have had an exclusive word
regarding what Jesus told them will happen, and others regarding
what Satan is planning to do. There is a stampede of people who
are trying to find out from tons of false prophecies what is
already in the Bible and what has been there all along. Today I
saw a verse in Psalm 60:4 that reads, "Thou hast given a banner
unto them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the
truth."   


God does not give banners to be hid away out of sight but to
display. A banner is the sign of our allegiance to Jesus Christ.
It shows what side we are in when in a fight. It shows the colors
we wear.   When the devil tries to tempt you, show your
banners, show your colors. Because what is coming is largely a
spiritual fight. And he will use all the fearful things to
ensnare us. Then the devil will see behind us the mighty
Conqueror who won Calvary, and flee from you.  


There is another verse, "“He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.” So we see here that as we
display our Banner of His Truth, then His Banner of Love will be
upon us. It goes both ways. Have confidence in Jesus Christ, you
belong to Him, and are not of this world. He loves you and has
not brought you this far for nothing but to display His saving
power in your life before this world.  


"A voice said, "Climb." And he said, "How shall I climb? The
mountains are so steep that I cannot climb." The voice said,
"Climb or die." He said, "But how? I see no way up those steep
ascents. This that is asked, is too hard for me." The voice said,
"Climb, or perish, soul and body of thee, mind and spirit of
thee. There is no second chance for any son of man. Climb or
die." Then he remembered that he had read in the books of the
bravest climbers on the hills of the earth that sometimes they
were aware of the presence of a Companion on the mountains who
was not one of the earthly party of climbers. And he remembered a
word in the Book of Mountaineers...it heartened him, for it told
him that he was created to walk in precarious places, not on the
easy levels of life." -Amy Carmichael
