~Quote for today-

~ Roy Hession- "The willingness of Jesus to be broken for us is the all-compelling motive in our being broken too. We seeHi, who is in the form of God, counting not equality with God a prize to be grasped at and hung on to, but letting it go for us and taking upon him the form of a Servant — God's Servant, man's Servant.
   We see Him willing to hav eno rights of His own, no home of His own, no possessions of Hisown, willing to let men revile Him and not revile again, willing to let men tread on Him and not retaliate or fefend Him self.
Above all, we see Him broken as He meekly goes to Calvary to become men's scapegoat by bearing their sins in His own body on the tree." [Taken from p. 1, in Vol. 82 No. 3 (969) HEARALD OF HIS COMING May/June news paper]


Words of wisdom-

  As God has a purpose for each one of us, we need to be available to be used by Him in our local church congregations. We're to listen to the Voice of the Holy Spirit as He guides us daily, for He is Perfect, and we are not! He is building up the Church of Jesus, and He has need of our talents and giftings to build up one another's faith.

 Words from the Father in a journal:

"I Am near you and I see your desire to please Me. I want to show you My Love in such a way as to bring you into a better understanding of what I aim to accomplish in your Life. Your wanting to know Me more is desirable and pleasing to Me. I will draw you closer to Myself in ways that you'll see My Love at work."


 Some encouraging words-

  Carry Christ's peace into every situation. Be gentle, but firm when confronting oppositon. Establish godly order through your authority in Jesus. When the enemy comes againts you, be strong in the Lord by having His armor of protection put on you early in the day!


#14 of 23 Parallels between Moses and Messiah:

God parted the Sea of Reeds ("The Red Sea") Through Moses
(Exodus 14:21-29).

By walking on water and calming the storm, Messiah demonstrated divine authority over the wind and waves (Mark 4:35-41; Prov. 30:4).

Most of the battles we face, we choose to fight alone. We think we can fight them without help in our weak state, but the truth is those battles belong to God. He waits for us to surrender them to Him so He can wield His sword of truth and overcome. Prayer is a great warrior. It's a great weapon. When God's people pray, He responds. When we trust the win to Him, God fights those battles for us.
