The enemy shall come in more and more like a flood against the remnant of the Church that has decided to add to its faith, diligently making its calling and election sure, esteeming the things of God more highly than the things of this world.

This part of God's people will be spending more time in prayer and fasting. They will be listening to the Holy Ghost and obeying His voice.

When He tells them to be a witness to their community, sharing Jesus with others in their neighborhood and on their job, they will be obedient.

When He says to go across town and visit with someone, they will follow His instructions.

When He says to call a friend on the phone and minister to that person, they will do it.

When He says to spend time in intercessory prayer, praying for the world, for the nations, for the lost, they will be quick to obey.

That Church is the glorious Church!

When the enemy comes in like a flood against the rest of the world, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him (Isa. 59:19). That "standard" will be the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ flowing in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Church will be used by God like never before.
