Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As you know we live in perilous times. We need to seek the Lord now as never before. I encourage those that do not know the Lord, to seek his face, learn of his goodness and trust him to order your steps. In order to receive this you will simply need to take a step of faith, for the bible says that without faith it is impossible to please him and he who comes to God must believe that he is God and that he rewards those that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) I encourage those that do know the lord, to be equipped for spiritual warfare. We must continue to pray, fast and study the word of God in order to contend for the faith that was delivered unto the saints. We cannot afford to neglect the assembling of ourselves together nor the armor of God for Apostle Paul states in Ephesians 6:10-20 (paraphrased), Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand against the wiles of the devil. ………having done all, stand. Above all take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
As the Lord has allowed us this opportunity to share with you, we pray that you will be encouraged to persevere for we know that he that endures to the end shall be saved.
