Good morning everyone from Hawaii, to all the parts of the world, I will be talking about the strength of God today, and how we must rely on Him for our strength, we can’t do anything with ourselves alone we must stand on the promises of Him. I have found a group of scriptures that enable us to understand that God is always with us through any storm no matter how bad it may seem things always will end up for good, and our lives will change. Things only change when you are in constant contact with Him. Prayer and devotion, and just spending the quiet time with Him is the key, and just to be still with Him, and know that He is God. The trust in Him is so important and the battle of fear that the devil tries to lead us to something that should not even exist. All through the bible the word strength is mentioned and how God gives us His strength. I have been trying to stay in constant prayer even though my spirit is under so much attack, and the suffering goes on still physically also, but I know that God will bring me out of these attacks, and heal me, and He will give me the strength that is needed. I hope everyone gets the feeling and anointing that God is always here with us giving his strength to us.
Dear Heavenly Father, We will do our best as always to preach and to pray for all the people of the Church, we are here to worship you in true heart and spirit, All we can say is we love you and please be with us this service. Please send your Holy Spirit to us and to help us to be the people you want us to be. We are all confessing all our sins and faults and showing the true love of our hearts to our brothers and sisters, and to help as many people as we can to lead everyone to the truth, to our Lord Jesus, and to your strength. We all need your strength, we cannot do anything on our own, although others may think they can, and we will just keep praying until we get the true anointing from the Holy Spirit. You are our God and we will focus all our problems to you and your Son Jesus, I have been hit hard this week, but our peace rests in You, and we all will continue to serve you and love you only. In Jesus Name, Amen
Please open your bibles to Ecclesiastes, Chapter 7
A wise person thinks much about death, while the fool thinks only about having a good time now.
It is better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool! Indeed, a fool's laughter is quickly gone, like thorns crackling in a fire. This also is meaningless.
Extortion turns wise people into fools, and bribes corrupt the heart.
Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride.
Don't be quick-tempered, for anger is the friend of fools.
Don't long for "the good old days," for you don't know whether they were any better than today.
Being wise is as good as being rich; in fact, it is better. Wisdom or money can get you almost anything, but it's important to know that only wisdom can save your life.
Notice the way God does things; then fall into line. Don't fight the ways of God, for who can straighten out what he has made crooked? Ecc. 7:4-13 NLT
Money is a great sin in this world and we all fall into it. Solomon thought about death so he tried to avoid it by having pleasure. There is always a time to confess our sins and start all over. As many do this day then go on an ultimate weekend and when it comes back to Monday morning they have realized what they have done how much money they spent and how badly some have sinned . Then in the Scripture he touches base with bribing. There is a lot of it going on this day and age. We as Christians cannot be bought. It used to be that old saying that everyone has a price but not with God. God sees everything we do, why would we want to face the gates of hell for just a few hours, weeks, or even years of pleasure. We are to finish everything we have started even though today I got hit again by evil with the heartbreak of losing all the added extra pages of the Church web site. Today we are still listed as number one, but I had to realize and take the heartbreak of seven pages gone. This affects many other search engines. I wanted to give up entirely, but I knew, I could not. I have so many people all over the world depending on the Sunday Sermon most of all. So even though my health and spirit are hurting and I am in agony, we must still go on and have the faith, trust in God. I guess the one thing that hurt me is the pride of the whole matter. It is one of those things that we must continue to trust in God and rely on His Almighty strength. We as Christians look forward to our next life’s not to go out and seek pleasure for ourselves today. God allows good and bad things to happen to everyone, good days and bad days; it is called life on Earth. This is the way each day is different, one day a heartbreak and one day is full of joy, but there are some that do not see the full day of joy most of there life. These people tend to blame God for everything, which is totally wrong, God wants the best for all of us but he wants us to rely on his strength, then we can slowly come closer to him during the bad times. God is always in control and that is the way we become over comers just trusting in the strength of God. You learn wisdom from the hard times in your life. Do not go against the current of the water. Float with the peace of God in all circumstances.
God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox. Num. 23:22 NIV
"For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.2 Sam. 22:40 NASB
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to adorn the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors and before all the king's mighty princes. Thus I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me. Ezra 7:28 NASB
It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Psalm 18:32-34
In this world of the glimmer and lights and in the race for great expectations with the pride for power, riches and accomplishments, we stand alone as Christians fighting our own battle against the devil, some of these go getters never experience an attack from the evil one. We are not trying to create riches and material things; we are here to help and to aid the ones that truly need the love of God, through our help. There is a legend about when Jesus and the disciples were walking past a dead dog and the disciples had some nausea, and a particular loathing for the dog. And as Jesus walked by he said the creature has beautiful teeth. There is a lesson to be learned, to look at things with a Godly attitude, instead of disgust. When you here a man in church not so happy and trying to just make it to his seat, but the pain that lies with inside him is never felt by anyone, they don’t know what it is like just to suffer, the pain that he strives for as this man can barely walk, and shave and shower, and the pain that is locked within him, not only physical but in the mind too, he is also suffering a great attack, and satan is filling his mind with, am I going to be excepted at church today, will he feel the love and compassion of the people as he is getting ready, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deut.31:6) he just pushes himself so he can worship God and meet with fellow believers and join hands and express the love he has within his heart with the Spirit of togetherness. “Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” (Psalm 9:10) During the greeting time he puts his arm around a few people and they just say hi, with a simple gesture, not out of love, but just out of ethics. But this man has been suffering for a long time, and he has been in many a church and he is there to bless and show God that he made it, and he claps his hands and tries to smile but he can’t, the pain is too great, but he does it anyway. “For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.” (Psalm 94:14)When he talks a few might ask how you are feeling, he does keep some of it to himself yes, but the words of sorrow pain, and torment come out. You see this man has no one else to talk to, so his words will not be positive, but he tries to be because he knows what turns a person off and on. He has that discernment the gift that the Lord has given him and so many other gifts that he cannot express them because of his health. How he would just like to get up there and start preaching and I know his words would shake the church and bring them the true enlightenment, right from the Spirit of God. But the people just cast him off not knowing what he really is going through. “Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.” (Psalm 27:10) The physical the mental and the spiritual battle of when he goes home, and is alone again. "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.(Isa. 41:17) It is like the old story about a logging camp and the river, one person would say well the river just smells, but the other person just says how beautiful the smell of all the logs. It is all how you look at things to be a positive type or the negative. I feel sorry for the man who goes home alone, in the pain that he has and he might talk about how much he hurts, or how much he is hurt and confused, but he presses onward to Love the Lord with gladness and to thank Him for what he has given him already, and the wonderful memories, wonderful teachings from our Lord Himself. "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. (Psalm 41:14-15) For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own. (1Sam. 12:22) Here is a few lessons from the Lord, mixed with a story within a prayer. We have to love one another, to go out of your way to help the ones that truly need our compassion and our love. Some people go through their whole lives without any fellowship, and never sit down with a friend and talk about the bible and the Love of God. They become lonely and bitter towards the rest of the world. That is why I write the prayers and the stories mixed with scripture to come across with a different attitude and direction. We truly have to seek these people out; even in a church you can be surrounded by so many people but still have the feeling of loneliness. My prayers are ever so humble and sincere and to feel the light of God when the Spirit helps me with these words. God is ever so awesome, and His Son and what he has done for us, is the glory someday we will all see it, He deserves it, don’t you think? But we are ourselves’ are yet still sinners and we face strongholds, and we do get attacked and confused, but nothing will separate us from the love of God. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom.8:38-39)
It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Psalm 18:32-34 NIV
In times of trouble, may the LORD respond to your cry.
May the God of Israel keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem. Psalm 20:1-2NLT
O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength.
How great is his joy in the victories you give! Psalm 21:1NIV
Give honor to the LORD, you angels;
give honor to the LORD for his glory and strength. Psalm 29:1 NLT
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24 NKJV
Your God has commanded your strength;
Show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our behalf. Psalm 68:28 NASB
O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary.
The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people.
Blessed be God! Psalm 68:35NLT
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. Psalm 71:14-18 NKJ
How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:5-7 NASB
Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;
then I will meditate on your wonders.
My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word. Psalm 119:27-28 NIV
How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe."
Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength. "Do not be afraid, O man highly esteemed," he said. "Peace! Be strong now; be strong." Dan 10:17-19 NIV
Here I am so upset over this whole day and a group from the Church came over and all got out their prayer oil and prayed on me, by the laying of hands. Each man anointed my head with oil and I could not understand at the moment, but the strength of God came back over me again. I was so upset I could not breathe properly. It was not just about the search engine it was my health and my thoughts and attacks, but each man touched me and said “look to Jesus and focus on his face, he is our strength and he is our redeemer”. I asked myself, where is this doubt coming from? I was writing a sermon at the time and I was not feeling right spiritually and physically and God sent these men over at this particular time. He was right there in the mist and each man said,” be strong in the Lord, have peace in all things and everything will work out.” God was right there to give me the strength I needed at that particular time for my health and spiritual well being, they had no idea these thing were going on at this time. Maybe I love this Church too much. It is all for Gods glory anyway. Why should this even bother me? I still have all the other engines with page lists of every site but to me this one was so special and very important. It was the best and that is where satan hit me to remove a seven page Christian link which effects many other engines around the world. There is a lot of work to each Sermon and all the daily prayers we send out, but we have to continue using Gods strength and trust and do not let anything affect us. We must all trust the Lord no matter what!
I now that the Lord thy God is with us all, we all fall short at times, and we all live in the flesh, but we do have the Spirit of the everlasting God that dwells within us. To know and be close to Jesus is the most important thing in this universe. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; (Psalm 23:4) In this world as we exist and live amongst it, but not within it, we come across a certainty of peace, and that is our weapon, against the attacks from the devil. Our finances, our deadlines, our work, and relationships all cause a certain bit of different stresses, and this is what the evil one moves on. This is the door that we leave open, our peace in Christ is the key, and to keep the door shut from all evil, we should never allow anything to move us. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.” (Eph. 6:10-11) so your confidence in Christ, and His peace, shall never let the lies of the devil move us. Nothing can move us, when we have God’s promises to stand on, and nothing can overpower us or hurt us or confuse us if we let it. When Jesus was confronted by the devil, he did not face Him with His emotions or fear, He knew the devil was a liar so how can you listen to a pack of lies, so he would not listen to any other voice than God’s, and that is the way we all should be, even though we are afflicted or in pain, like myself, I will rest on Jesus, as I look into His eyes and ask him to help me, he does, and even though I fight all different afflictions in more ways than one, I still find the comfort that I need in Christ Jesus our Lord. If we remain to have the peace that Jesus had, we will simply fear no evil, and we should always have that peace inside of us even if the next day we will suffer more intensified then the day before, you see the peace of Jesus overwhelmed the devil; His authority shattered his lies, which eventually sent him away. When you walk that true walk with the Lord nothing can touch you, but don’t let that evil voice in the background try to destroy your peace. David did face a lion and a giant. So in this Psalm he did stand up against the shadow of death, but David’s trust in the Lord went beyond all of fear, He trusted the Lord, and that is where I myself am sinning, I should myself have that pure trust in Him, and not listen at all to those evil voices in the background. So every battle and every problem you face will unfold in victory if you maintain your trust and belief in the Lord. That is what the Lord has taught me, we are all changing and when in the verse about the meal-- “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.” (Psalm 23:5) The meal that you are facing is a battle that will soon be won, and it will feed you in mind, body and spirit. “But you have made me as strong as a wild bull. How refreshed I am by your power!” (Psalm 92:10) “LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.” (Psalm 16:5) “Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”(Psalm23:6) What words, the promises of God unfold so no matter what you are going through, you have to keep that peace, and trust in the Lord. “Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” (Psalm 37:3-6) Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. (Prov. 3:5)
“I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection! But I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. (Phil. 3:12-14)
“Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, dear brothers and sisters let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Phil. 4:6-8) God never requires anything he does not intend to help us to do. The giving of duty always implies strength to do it. In due time the mountain will give and will yield to your faithful climb. You will succeed and be healed, and with God all things are possible. We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us all. He gives us the power, he gives us the influence. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him.” (1John 5:14-15) “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Heb. 4:15-16) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9) Have peace in your heart and know for sure that what ever you may be going through is for a purpose, God has a plan from beginning to end, for each and everyone of us. He loves all His children, why would he send His own Son down to earth and to suffer and go though torment and then die, for us and to bury all our sins, and to give us healing by His stripes and beatings that He received, and to let us be able to talk to the living God of the universe. Christ tore the veil, the separation, which kept us from praying directly to the God of all creation. Our God is the healer, the redeemer, and He will be in our corner, and hold us, and give us His ultimate light and power, from now till eternity.
As Jesus would say "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." (Mark 11: 23-25) Prayer is our heart to heart, and spirit to spirit bond and connection to God. Prayer is the most important thing to our health and well being. “And Jesus said to him, " 'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23) {So it is written, all things are possible for him who believes.} As you know we cannot have any doubt. Doubt comes from the evil one; he tries to plant it within our minds. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2Tim 1:7) And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. (Matt.17:20) Jesus never taught His disciples to preach but He did teach them to pray. Jesus was the ultimate warrior with prayer; He was able to gain strength, power, rest, and food through prayer. “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for he wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time. (1Tim 1:1-6)
And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you. (Luke 17:6) Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" (John 11:40) But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it." (John 11:4) " Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. (Matt.7:7-8) We are children of God and we must maintain our prayer life, with out it we are nothing, we need to be in constant communication with our Lord to share with Him all the things that are entering our mind at any given situation, our troubles our hardships and pain. It seems the more we love people, the more we remain a target for all the demonic beings that exist, in this world. We are up against a crowd at times, and when you are a pastor of church you are under more attack then lets say a normal worker. I am up against incredible odds at the moment. But my joy is praying for you and all others, it seems we are just people that want to seek and stay in the light of God, and stay clear from sinning and judging, in fact that was the main subject for this weeks Sunday sermon. The whole sermon was on the judging of others, we cannot go on judging people which is sin, and I to am a sinner because I am faced with an affliction and I have a doctor that does not understand, or does not even know me or what I have went through in this last 9 months and he has made it more difficult to even function. He is destroying the church and the prayer ministry and doesn’t even know it and I write out to more than hundreds of people a week. Truth is truth, not judgment. We have to push onward and stand firm and strong in the Lord no mater what happens.
“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”(1Pet 1:6-9) “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” (Heb. 10:35-36) Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalms 31:24)
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. Prov. 8:13-14 NKJ
The more a person loves The Lord and truly fears him the more we will dislike evil .The love for God is the most important thing on this Earth, we cannot love anything more. "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matt. 10: 37-39 NIV
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. Matt. 6:24 NIV We cannot have two masters, we are already in sin and the sin and the love for God cannot be in the same room together. The Lord hates pride, which is sin and he hates any forms of evil, just thinking of evil thoughts can bring you to the gates of hell.
Wake up, LORD! Robe yourself with strength! Rouse yourself as in the days of old when you slew Egypt, the dragon of the Nile. Are you not the same today, the one who dried up the sea, making a path of escape when you saved your people?Those who have been ransomed by the LORD will return to Jerusalem,] singing songs of everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be overcome with joy and gladness.
"I, even I, am the one who comforts you. So why are you afraid of mere humans, who wither like the grass and disappear? Yet you have forgotten the LORD, your Creator, the one who put the stars in the sky and established the earth. Will you remain in constant dread of human oppression? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies from morning till night? Soon all you captives will be released! Imprisonment, starvation, and death will not be your fate! For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar. My name is the LORD Almighty. And I have put my words in your mouth and hidden you safely within my hand. I set all the stars in space and established the earth. I am the one who says to Israel, `You are mine!' " Isa. 51:9-16 NLT
Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands! The LORD called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.
He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory."
I replied, "But my work all seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose at all. Yet I leave it all in the LORD's hand; I will trust God for my reward."
And now the LORD speaks--he who formed me in my mother's womb to be his servant, who commissioned me to bring his people of Israel back to him. The LORD has honored me, and my God has given me strength. He says, "You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." Isa. 49:1-6 NLT
LORD, you are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! Nations from around the world will come to you and say, "Our ancestors were foolish, for they worshiped worthless idols. Can people make their own god? The gods they make are not real gods at all!"
"So now I will show them my power and might," says the LORD. "At last they will know that I am the LORD." Jer. 16:19-21 NLT
But to the poor, O LORD, you are a refuge from the storm. To the needy in distress, you are a shelter from the rain and the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against a wall, or like the relentless heat of the desert. But you silence the roar of foreign nations. You cool the land with the shade of a cloud. So the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled. Isa. 25:4-5NLT
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: Isa. 26:3-4 NKJ
"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.
They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength.' Isa. 45: 22-24 NASB
'Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Isa. 41: 8-10 NASB
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank- you for being with us today in spirit, we Love you so much, we want to thank everyone who has sat down and read or heard today’s sermon whether in any country or at any jungle or just in someone’s apartment we don’t know how far or how long this word goes, but we are following the great commission to go to all the world. Please Bless all the prayers responses, and the people on our lists, and the ministries and networks that we are attached to. Please guide us this week to learn more about your strength, and there are so many other scriptures that involve your strength, I wish I could print them all, but I chose a few mostly out of the Old Testament and Psalms, Please grant us your love and compassion this week and we will try to be the best Christians we can be. We are confessing our sins now before we do them, we know we are going to slip up somewhere, and we want to stay in tune with you and your Son, and continue to have a relationship and a bond of peace. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
