Expressions from our Partners
Father God, you know
that I have the tendency to take my own direction and move right into harm's way.
Your Word declares, "He that dwells in the secret place of the Most
High; shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Oh how many times
have I stepped out of the secret place to go in my own direction.
Nevertheless, you still keep me safe! It's time that I learn how to stay
in that place with you and stop creating my own avenue. Father God, I
realize that abiding where You have placed me is the safest and most stable
position for my life. I only ask that you keep me from the hand of the
enemy. - Percy V. Martin
One of my favorite Scriptures:
"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." (Romans 8:39) -- David Hunt
"The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding" - Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)
Brothers, to grow in our walk as sons of God, we must received and
develop a healthy understanding of the "fear of the LORD". It
is not a fear of God due to an unwanted consequence or punishment, but a fear
of hurting the heart of God; a fear of committing actions or offenses that are
displeasing to God; a fear of giving Satan an occasion to mock our Heavenly
Father due to the behavior of His children; a fear of Satan claiming to be our
father as our actions point more to "legitimacy" to him than to a
Holy God. How would you feel to hear your child call someone else
"Father?” To place something or someone in a position that rightfully and
legitimately belongs to you and you alone? How would you feel? How does God
feel? How does Jesus feel about it? How does the Holy Spirit, dwelling on the
inside of you while you're committing an offense against the Father...how does
He feel? I fear that reality...as I love my Heavenly Father. In my inward
parts, I love Him. -- Rodney Harris
Acts 2 reminds us of, the reality of when people
stay connected for Jesus they can do all things. Remember the ministry moves
forward when we connect with Jesus and one another. -- Derrick Osborne
