WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Are we loving one another?

God test the depth of our fellowship with him by the reality of our fellowship with our sisters and brothers.

1 John 3:14-18 Yet we can be assured that we have been translated from spiritual death into spiritual life because we love the family of believers. A loveless life remains spiritually dead. 15 Everyone who keeps hating a fellow believer is a murderer,  and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 16 This is how we have discovered love’s reality; Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another. 17 If anyone sees a fellow believer in need and has the means to help him, yet shows no pity and closes his heart against him, how is it even possible that God’s love lives in him? 18 Beloved children, our love can’t be an abstract theory we onlyi talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our living deeds.

The Lord gives you confidence.

Unleash the Spirit within you… When you praise My confidence, I will confound your enemies. They see no fear in you. They see you confident in your source. They cannot see the Me in you.

It is Me in you that keeps you free. Praise me, my people. Go free in all your ways. Praise me confidently. Confound your enemy.

The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower

He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. (Psalm 91)

If you dwell in a place you live in that place. You are familiar, at peace and comfortable in that place.

Think of your attitude towards yourself while you are inside your own home. It is a place of security, a refuge, a place of rest; a place you look forward to being within. You know all the secrets of that home. You know what works and what does not. You know the individual personality in everything that is attached to your house. You know exactly what to do to get everything to work.

God so reveals all His secrets to you if you dwell in the secret place of the most high with Him. You become familiar and at peace and comfortable in His place.

What is a secret? Who shares a secret? Where is the secret of the most high? It is found in the name of the Lord Most High.
