Scripture References: Exodus 19:5, 1 Peter 2, Psalm 83

The tragedy of endangered species is a troubling thing to our world. The list of current species that are on the endangered species list is alarming. The Tiger, Blue whale, Black-footed ferret, and the Chimpanzee make up some of the list of the most endangered.

Pharoah, Haman, Herod, and Hitler had one thing in common; Genocide. They wanted to totally destroy the people of God; Israel. They wanted to bring the people of God into complete extinction. Satan is much like the Herod, Pharoah, Haman’s and Hitlers of our world. He has opted to bring the old-fashioned child of God to destruction. He wants the species, Christian, to be extinct.

However, God has ordained that, if we will abide in Him, Satan will never be able to stomp us out. Satan cannot stop you, hinder you, or destroy you. Hold to God’s hand. Continue to follow the Lord. If you will do just that, Satan will never be able to destroy you.

Zoos have become literal safe spaces for the species that are in danger of becoming extinct. These safe spaces are provided as a means of nurturing, strengthening, and building up the species so that it can learn to thrive in the wild. God has ordained that the assembly of believers in the presence of God is the sanctuary for us. We thrive as long as we remain in the sanctuary much like that close-to-extinct animal will thrive in the zoo or animal sanctuary.

This Glorious Church that God has in this world will never be stomped out. The church will never go extinct. The Lord will return for His people. When He does come, this world will see for a short time what this world can be without the church in it. It will be a very hard time for the world. But with God with us, Satan will never accomplish his desire to “Cut them off from being a Nation.” We are the people of God. We are a chosen generation. A royal priesthood who before were not a people, but now are the people of God.

Please listen to this message as the Lord dealt with our hearts concerning “A Species on the Verge of Extinction.”
