Everything is for His glory and our good! Amen!!! Whatever it takes!!!! Coram Deo!!! In the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the glory of God!!!!
In Acts 4:29 when the disciples were going through persecution they never asked God to take their troubles away, they asked God in that passage from verse 23 to behold their threatings, and asked for boldness to stand and witness. We are called not only to believe but to take up our cross and follow the Lord. Rejoice always, and again I say irejoice. And we should know what Paul suffered.For God is our Shepard and goes before us preparing the way. As you said we should follow Him through it all. God bless yous. Jeff.
I loosen the word of psalm 23:3, 2 corinthians 6:14-15, matthew 6:24, binding myself, my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances,, opponents, those around me and the body of Christ to be restored in one's soul and to guided, while I and the body of Christ will not be unequally yoked with and have any common share with any evildoer serving satan, loosening myself of all that comes against the restoration of one's soul, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
