Let God Arise “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?†1 John 5:5 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him.†1 John 2:15 “The world exerts a terrible influence over the Christian that does not know that, in Christ, he/she has been crucified to the world.

Blessed be my Rock!

He also shall be my salvation.†Job 13:15-16 “I know that my Redeemer lives….†Job 19:25 Habakkuk wrestles with God over the sins of his people.

The Lord God is my strength.†Hab. 3:17-19 It is only as we are led by the Spirit every day in all situations that we can abide in Christ, conquering the flesh and the world. It is only as we are filled with the Spirit that the promise of Jesus can be fully understood and experienced: “Lo I am with you always…†Matthew 28:20
