Experiencing God's glory from the inside out - why & how?

How do you experience God's glory wherever you are? 

Now, don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong in going to places where revival or a great awakening is happening, in order to 'catch the fire' or to 'jumpstart' your spiritual life. But you know what? You can't do that all the time! You can't be in a particular place all the time! 

But I have a good news for you! You can experience God's glory wherever you are! Yes, even wherever you are right now! 

In fact, when you experience God's glory from the 'inside out', from the inside of you, from within you, it is so real! Remember, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and He wants to fill you with His glory and light inside of you!

When we talk about God's glory and light, we can't help but also talk about cleansing from every form of impurities in our lives. Why? Because all these impurities in our lives can hinder us from receiving His glory and light! 

In Matthew 5:8, Jesus Himself says: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The word 'see' here is 'optanomai' in Greek. In the context of this verse, it can mean 'your spiritual eyes can be opened and enlightened to see the many things that you couldn't see (or experience) before'. When this happens, something changes in the inside of you, and you'll begin to see the way God sees, and not the way the world sees! 

Indeed, this is the time He is touching many of His people to want to go deeper and deeper in His presence, His glory, His light, and His realm!

In Ezekiel 8:2, Ezekiel said: 'Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire - from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.' 

Here, Ezekiel saw the appearance of the Lord God Himself - full of light, full of fire, full of brightness! And he even described Him as 'like the color of amber'. This word 'amber' is 'khahsmal' in Hebrew. It can literally mean 'polished, shining substance'. What does this show us? As we behold the Lord, we are being 'polished' till we become full of His light and shining again! 

Let us therefore humble ourselves, and let Him cleanse us and 'polish' us till we reflect more and more of the Lord in our lives! 

Do you want to be like Ezekiel (to whom the Lord showed so many things)? Here in Ezekiel chapter 8, the Lord actually showed Ezekiel the many idolatries that were happening within His temple. The Lord was very grieved at that time. You see, He yearned to dwell in His temple. But His people had turned their face away from Him, and turned to idols. In our context, 'idols' don't necessarily have to be idols per se (i.e. statues or images of idols). But an 'idol' can be anything in life that takes away our focus on the Lord. It can be a certain lust, greed, or pride in our lives. It can be anything that we hold on to, when we should be letting it go. 

Right now, the Lord is calling us to let go of whatever that hinders His glory and light from shining in our lives. Why? Because there's so much more that He wants to show to us, and there's so much more that He wants us to see and experience in the spiritual realm! 

For the record, when man was first created (i.e. when Adam was first created), he was full of God's glory and light too! That's why the Scripture says 'he had no sense of nakedness'. In other words, he didn't feel naked, even though he didn't have any physical clothing on! Why? Because he was clothed in God's glory and light! But after he disobeyed and sinned, this glory departed! It's the same in the time of Ezekiel when he saw the glory departed from the temple! (Ezekiel 10:18)

But I have a good news for you! In Christ, you can gain it back! You can receive the glory back! You can be clothed in His glory and light again! What Adam has lost, you can receive it back! How do you receive it back? By knowing that Christ lives in you! He is our glory and light! By opening your heart to receive Him into your life! And if you have received Him into your life, by worshiping Him and fellowshipping with Him! How do you fellowship with Him? You fellowship with Him by reading and receiving His Word! You also fellowship with Him by praying in the spirit! That's how you'll be so full of His Spirit - His glory and His light!

Another area is obedience to Him, i.e. obedience to whatever He has spoken to you (or instructed you to do). Yes, choose to obey what He says, even if some people on this earth may despise you or ridicule you for doing it! As you obey and heed what He says to you, you'll begin to reflect His glory and light more and more! 

I have more good news for you! When you are so full of His glory and light, no enemy (or work of darkness) can 'touch' you! They cannot 'access' into your life! And if they try to 'touch' you, they are 'touching' the Lord, and it's very dangerous to them, not to you! Your part, beloved, is to continue to stay in His glory and light! (1 John 1:5-6)

In Colossians 1:27, Paul wrote: 'To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.' 

Another good news is this: It is His will to make known the riches of His glory to you! In other words, it is His will that you should experience more and more of His glory and light!

So, never miss this time and season! The Lord wants to show you His glory and light in more and more ways! More and deeper than you've ever seen or experienced before! Hallelujah! 

Prayer: "O Lord God, we thank You for Your glory and Your light. We want more and more of You. What we have experienced so far is just a mere drop in the ocean. There's so much more that You want to show us, that You want us to experience. As we behold You, let us also be changed from glory to glory, to be more and more like You, to reflect who You are from the inside out. We receive Your glory now. We receive Your light now. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

Words from the Lord: Be of good cheer!

Let's look at one example in the Scripture how someone faced a crisis, and yet he has learned how to be of good cheer! 

In Acts chapter 27, the writer of the Book of Acts, Luke, wrote an account of how Paul and several other prisoners set sail for Italy. Paul needed to go to Rome to appeal to Caesar, because certain Jewish leaders from Jerusalem made serious accusations against him, accusing him of a crime against the Jewish laws, against the temple of God, and even against the Roman government. 

Several days into the journey, the ship that Paul was in struggled with great difficulty due to the adverse weather condition. The weather had become dangerous for sea travel because it was late in the fall (autumn time), and Paul then spoke to the ship's officers, "I believe there is trouble ahead if we go on - shipwreck, loss of cargo, and danger to our lives as well." However, the officer in charge of the prisoners listened more to the ship's captain and the owner, rather than to Paul. 

You see, as winter approached, the weather became more dangerous for sailing. Paul, knowing the season and conditions at that time, and with the wisdom that he received from the Lord, advised them not to go on, lest there may be shipwreck, loss of cargo, and even danger to their lives. But the captain and the owner of the ship didn't heed what Paul said. Apparently, it's not to their advantage to not to continue in this journey, due to the loss of time, because to them, time is money. That's probably what they were thinking in their minds. So, in spite of Paul's warning, the captain of the ship continued on the journey.

True enough to what Paul had warned, the weather later changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength blew their ship further and further to the open sea. As gale-force winds battered the ship, the crew even had to throw the cargo overboard in order to save the ship from sinking! 

Luke wrote an account how this terrible storm raged for many days, and even blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone. In other words, all these crew in the ship were at their wits' end. They were thinking they're all going to die! 

Acts 27:21 in fact says no one in the ship had eaten for a long time, probably because they were too frightened, or they were so seasick (due to the high waves). Of course, they were worried and anxious, thinking that the ship's going to sink! 

But look at what Paul said in Acts 27:22 (KJV), "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer! For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship." 

Those in the ship must have thought Paul was going crazy at that time! How could he say, 'Be of good cheer' when all hope seemed lost and they're all going to die? But one thing they didn't realize is this: They didn't know that Paul was a man who know his God. Paul was a man who know what his God can do, even against all odds. In fact, Paul even had an encounter with an angel who encouraged him, and in turn, Paul encouraged others on board!

So, in the midst of all these, Paul became like a light to all of them, even though he was only a prisoner on board. His words became the beacon. His words became the source of encouragement. His words brought hope to all on board in the midst of the tempest. He even encouraged them to eat something, and they did. At that point of time, Paul became the 'de facto leader' on board, even though he was just a prisoner waiting for trial! 

Let's wrap up Acts chapter 27 now. One fine morning, as they persevered and hung on to what Paul had said, they finally saw a bay with a beach! That's good news of course! Eventually, all 276 persons on board the ship escaped to safety (in the island called Malta), and not even one life was lost, just as what Paul had declared and prophesied! Hallelujah!

Beloved of God, no matter what crisis you may be going through at the moment, be encouraged that He is still God, and He will know how to make a way for you, even against all odds. Nothing is impossible to Him. I declare that your darkest night is behind you, and a new dawn has begun for your life. Amen!

You have a weapon called 'Praise'!

Words from the Lord: 

"You have a weapon called 'Praise'! This is a key time to praise! Praise the Lord! Praise your way to your breakthrough and victory! Praise the Lord even when you are spiritually, emotionally, or mentally drained! Praise the Lord at all times! As you praise, watch how the forces of darkness is broken, and watch how many things begin to move forward in your life! Never underestimate the power of praise!" 

Indeed, there is this weapon given to you! A powerful weapon! Never underestimate it! God has given you this weapon called 'Praise'! So, praise the Lord! In good times! In not-so-good times! Praise the Lord at all times! Praise the Lord for who He is! Praise the Lord for He is great, and greatly to be praised! In fact, you can praise your way to your breakthrough and victory. Hallelujah! 

If you are in trouble, any form of trouble, praise the Lord! If you are in a dilemma in your life, praise the Lord! If you are worried or anxious about something, or even regarding your future, praise the Lord! When you feel down or discouraged, praise the Lord! And when you are drained spiritually, emotionally, or mentally, praise the Lord! Simply put, praise the Lord in good times and even in not-so-good times!

In today's message, I'm going to show you the power of praising the Lord. Yes, praising the Lord is not just in songs, but it can be in your declaration by faith as you speak it out into the spiritual atmosphere around you - that He is great, He is your victory, and of course, He is merciful! 

I begin with Psalm 9:1-3. This is a psalm by David, a man after God's heart. Let's see what he has declared: "I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. When my enemies turn back, they shall fall and perish at Your presence." 

The word 'praise' here in this psalm is 'yawdaw' in Hebrew. 

It can be defined in any of these three ways: 

- to shoot out (or pour out) with shout of praise

- to revere and declare with lifted hands

- to give thanks to the Lord for His greatness and mercy

Therefore, praise Him for His greatness! Praise Him for His victory! Praise Him for He is in control and He is sovereign! Praise Him because He is the Creator of heavens and earth, and all of the universe and the galaxy! 

You know what? When you begin to praise the Lord, when you use your mouth and declare it and speak it out, even shout it out aloud, something happens in the spiritual realm and something changes in the spiritual realm! The Scripture is consistent in this, that breakthrough comes as you praise! 

Of course not just that, it is good even for yourself, because as you praise the Lord, your focus is shifted away from yourself or your own problems, and your focus is shifted to the Lord and how great He is! In other words, you are lifting yourself out from your doldrums, and you are lifting yourself out from all your discouragement, anxieties, and worries! 

As you praise the Lord, know that there are also so many things that you can give thanks for, and that you can be grateful for! Don't focus on the negatives all the time. Instead, focus on the good that the Lord has done in your life! It's so important to be living a life of thanksgiving and to be grateful for what He has given to you! When you are thankful of even the little things that the Lord has given in your life, more is going to come! Hallelujah!

So, I want to declare upon you that whatever work of darkness or word of darkness that comes from the enemy against you, yes, as you praise the Lord, and as you magnify the Lord, all these works of darkness or words of darkness will have to flee. Amen! 

In Psalm 106:1-5, the psalmist wrote: "Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise?... Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation; that I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your inheritance." 

It means whatever trouble or situation you may be facing at the moment, the Lord can rescue you, the Lord can save you, and the Lord can come to your aid! Not only that! The Lord can set you free! The Lord can open a way for you! The Lord can lead you to your victory and breakthrough!

So beloved of God, rejoice and be glad because of all that we've read today, and begin to walk in the inheritance that the Lord has meant for you! And be rest assured that no matter what situation you may be facing at the moment, even the not-so-good ones, the Lord your God will know how to turn things around for you and work it out for your good. Amen! Somebody shout "Hallelujah!"

Discern between the work of God and the work of man

Happy Resurrection Day to you! Let your life be filled with His resurrection life! When you know that you have Christ living in you, you also know that His resurrection life lives in you! 

I want to share with you the difference between the works of God and the works of man. You see, there's always a battle between the works of God and the works of man. The works of man, or the works of the flesh, or the works of this world, will always try to undermine the works of God. But no matter how the works of man try to undermine the works of God, the works of God will eventually prevail, and the works of man will be as dead! And this is exactly what I'm going to show you in the Scripture today! 

Therefore, choose to let God work in your life! Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world, to the ways of this world, or to the fallen systems of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you will prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).

Now, there may be changes in season and strategies along the way (along your journey of faith), but as long as you flow with His season and His strategies for your life in every time and season, you will reach His destiny for your life. Your part is to allow Him to guide you, lead you, and even correct you, every step of the way.  

Back to our topic today. I can't emphasize enough it is so important to discern the difference between the work of God and the work of man. Let me show you one example in the Scripture today. 

Matthew 27:62-63 (NKJV) says, 'On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, saying, "Sir, we remember while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.'"' 

You see, they may be chief priests, they may be Pharisees, they may be knowledgeable in the Scripture, but their spiritual eyes couldn't see. And what did they call Jesus? They called Jesus a deceiver! In other words, they called Jesus a conman! This is one example of the work of man (or work of flesh). That's why it is so important to discern what is of God and what is of man (i.e. man's mere ideas or traditions). The Holy Spirit can help you.

Here, the chief priests and Pharisees told Pilate, "Sir, we remember while He (Jesus) was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.'" And that's how they undermined the works of God. Their spiritual eyes were not opened. Though they were knowledgeable in the traditions of men, and though they read the Scripture, but they still couldn't see with their spiritual eyes. They didn't believe Jesus meant what He said, and they didn't believe He would rise after three days!

In Matthew 27:64-66, they were saying: "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first." Pilate then said to them, "You have a guard. Go your way. Make it as secure as you know how." So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard. You see, all along, these chief priests and Pharisees thought that Jesus is not of God. But of course later on, they were proven wrong. 

Matthew 28:1-4 says, 'Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.' 

Notice the statement 'And the guards shook for fear of him (of this angel), and became like dead men'. In other words, the guards were so shaken by what they saw, that they froze, and therefore became as 'dead men'! You see here? The works of God shook the works of man right to the core on that day! Not even the guards (they must have put the best guards there), not even the stone, which has been sealed to the tomb, and securely shut, could stop Jesus! None of these could stop Jesus from coming out from the tomb! Indeed, Jesus has risen! Not only that, Jesus has triumphed over every power of the enemy and prevailed against every work of darkness that tried to undermine Him! 

You see the words 'dead men' here? What does this imply? It means the works of man are as 'dead', and the ways of man are as 'dead'! The works of God will always prevail in the end. Nothing's going to stop the works of God! And it is the same in your life. Nothing's going to stop the work of God in your life! Remember, the good work that the Lord has begun in your life, He shall bring it to full completion!

Rejoice therefore, beloved of God, because He lives in you! His works in your life shall prevail against (and over) all those works of darkness in this world! You are the head, and not the tail. You need not bow down to the ways of man or the ways of this fallen world. But you follow the ways of God. 1 John 4:4 says, 'He (Jesus) who lives in you, who is in you, is greater than he that is in this world.' Just because there are majority of people who are in this way or that way in this world, it doesn't mean they are correct. But you follow the Lord. And you follow Him, no matter what other people may say against you. There'll come a day you'll be glad you did!

Shaken by what's happening in the world right now? Fear not!

The Lord says: 

"This isn't the time to look at your left or at your right. This isn't the time to pattern after this or that in the world. But be patterned after Me. My ways are higher. My ways will not fail. When no one else in this world can help you, look to Me. When the system and structure of this world fails you, look to Me." 

We are living in a very precarious world at the moment. Anytime, the world financial systems or the world economic systems can fail. You have seen some banks have even failed. You have seen how the cost of living keeps rising in many places.

But I tell you what, do not allow yourself to be shaken. There is help for you. God has a way out for you. He will give you the strategies to ride out these times; not just to survive, but to thrive as well. So, fear not! Because He knows how to help you and show you a way!

Let's go straight to the Scripture now. 

In a time like this, remember Psalm 121 written by David.

Psalm 121:1-2 says, 'I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence (where) comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.' 

Where does our help come from? Our help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth! The word 'help' here is 'ezer' in Hebrew. It comes from the word 'azar', which means 'to surround, to protect, to aid'. Therefore, the Lord is saying He is the Lord who surrounds you, protects you, and aids you. He will surround you in the midst of the turbulence, He will protect you, and He will come to your aid in a time like this! 

This same word 'ezer' can also be found in Psalm 46:1-3, 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.' 

These verses isn't just literal, i.e. geologically; but it can also be symbolic of say, the financial systems or the economic systems of this world, or whatever system that is man-made that has infiltrated into this world! 

Notice it's written in Psalm 121, 'I will lift up my eyes to the hills'. I used to think the psalmist was referring to any hill or any mountain on earth. But no! He was referring to 'the holy hills of Jerusalem'. 

What do these 'holy hills' symbolize? These 'holy hills' symbolize 'where the presence of the Lord is'. For the record, there are seven hills that surround Jerusalem, i.e. Moriah, Bethsaida, Scopus, Olives, Opel, Zion, and Calvary. 

Let's look at one of those holy hills, Moriah. What is the significance of Moriah? It was here that King Solomon built the first temple. It was also here that Abraham went to sacrifice his son Isaac as burnt offering, and the Lord provided him a ram, instead of him having to sacrifice his own son Isaac! 

To deepen our understanding, let's go to Genesis 22:13, 'Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering, instead of his son.'

Notice the words 'lifted his eyes' here? This is very interesting, because David (in Psalm 121) 'lifted his eyes' too! So, both David and Abraham 'lifted their eyes', and in the context here, 'lifted their eyes' to the Lord and to what the Lord's doing!  

In Genesis 22:13, notice also there's this ram caught in a thorny bush. Who does this 'ram' speak of? Jesus! When He was about to be crucified, the soldiers put a crown of thorns on his head. So, if the 'ram' here speaks of 'Jesus', then the 'thicket' ('thorny bush') speaks of 'the crown of thorns'! In other words, Jesus wore the crown of thorns, so that you don't have to wear it! It means He has carried away all your pains, whatever these may be, not just in your spirit, soul, or body; but even financial or economic pains!

Here in Genesis 22:13, the Lord has shown a way for Abraham. It is the same for you as well. The Lord will know how to show you a way in a time like this! Your part is to look to Him!

Genesis 22:14 then says, 'And Abraham called the name of the place The-Lord-Will-Provide (YHWH Yireh)...' 

So, take heart. The Lord will know how to provide for you. If you need wisdom, ask and you shall receive. The Lord will know how to provide for you His divine wisdom. You will know what to do and how to go about in a time like this. If you need revelation from the Lord, ask and you shall receive. The Lord will know how to provide for you His divine revelation. You will know where you should be heading to in a time like this.  

So, lift your eyes to the Lord! Just as David lifted his eyes to the holy hills of Jerusalem! Or just as Abraham lifted his eyes, and there was a ram caught in a thicket!

So far, we have looked at the Old Testament. How about the New Testament? In the New Covenant, the Lord has also promised you 'help'! Who is this 'help'? The Holy Spirit! That's why it is so important to have a deeper and deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, communing with the Holy Spirit, and receiving from the Holy Spirit. 

In John 14:16-17, Jesus said, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." 

You see, this Holy Spirit dwells with you and lives in you! He is 24/7, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all the time, now and forever; as long as you do not reject Him!

The word 'Helper' here (or 'Comforter' in King James Version) is 'Parakletos' in Greek. It can mean 'Advocate'. In other words, 'the One who is for you'. That's what Advocate is. He is for you. He is not against you. Why? Because you have been made righteous through Christ. You have received this gift of righteousness through what Jesus has done for you on the cross. It can also mean 'Consoler'. He is your Consoler or Comforter in a time of crisis, in a time of need, in a time of turbulence, or in a time of trouble. You can count on Him! It can also mean 'Intercessor'. The Holy Spirit will know how to intercede in your situation, take over your situation, and turn things around for you! 

In John 14:26, Jesus said further, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." 

Not only the Holy Spirit is your Helper, He is also your Teacher! And He reminds you of all things that the Lord has spoken to you. 

The next verse is John 14:27, and Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14:27 should be read in the context of John 14:26. In other words, because the Holy Spirit has been sent to you, and because He is your Helper, He is your Teacher, He is your Advocate, He is your Consoler, and He is your Intercessor, therefore let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid!

This Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of shalom peace. This is the peace that the world cannot give to you. This peace can only come from the Lord! 

Let's go to the book of Romans now.

Romans 8:26-27 says, 'Likewise the Spirit (i.e. the Holy Spirit) also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.' 

There can be times we don't know what to pray, or we don't know how to pray correctly. Or maybe we sense certain danger or 'un-peace', and we don't know what to do. I tell you what, just pray in the spirit. Because praying in the spirit is praying in the perfect will of God. As you pray in the spirit, the Holy Spirit will intercede, will take over the situation, and will prevent certain evil (or danger) from happening.  

Notice 'the Holy Spirit helps in our weaknesses'. It means whenever you feel weak, whenever you do not know what to pray, or whenever you do not know what to do, the Holy Spirit can help you!

The word 'help' here is 'sunantilambano' in Greek. This word 'sunantilambano' carries the meaning of 'two persons working together in partnership to get the job done'. It means the Holy Spirit (the Person of the Holy Spirit) and you as a person, both of you in partnership to get the job done (or to get a situation settled)! 

Very interestingly, this word 'sunantilambano' can be divided into three parts:

- 'sun' = 'in partnership with, in cooperation with'. 

- 'anti' = 'to come against (in this context, the enemy)'.

- 'lambano' = 'to take hold of, to claim, to receive'.

So, these three words, joined together, becomes 'sunantilambano'. In other words, 'sunantilambano' means 'in partnership and cooperation with the Holy Spirit, combining together with the Holy Spirit to push away the enemy, so that you can take hold of your inheritance that God has meant for you or promised you.' Wow!

Let us pray. "O Lord God, we thank You for the insight to what the Holy Spirit can do in our lives. Indeed, the Holy Spirit is our Helper. With the Holy Spirit dwelling with us, there's nothing to be afraid of in this world. We receive now the shalom peace. Just as Jesus has said, let not our hearts be troubled, and let not our hearts be afraid. So, whatever happens in the world, even when the systems or the structures of this world may fail, You O Lord will not fail. We look to You. We pattern after Your way. Because Your way will not fail. In Jesus' name. Amen."
