A CORD OF THREE STRANDS
Brothers,
On Tuesday we will face the ones responsible for our mothers death and the life lost of a young man. Brothers take courage and do not be afraid, God is on our side! If our estimation of Christ is small then we will receive little, but thanks be to God, our estimation of Christ our Lord is huge therefore we will receive BIG. The reason we come to God, to fight in this battle is for no one to have to go through what we did, for no one to have to lose their mother, friend, companion, sister and daughter over the things of this world. We are children of God and God is fighting this battle for our victory. Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, says the LORD. I believe we were brought up by our parents to be a family after the Lords heart, our heart burns with passion for the Lord. I have always seen something glorious in you Gabriel ever since we were small children always feeling the love of God surrounding you and Ponce everything you are now is for the Lord, you are pleasing in His sight. You lost your life to find a new one, a life with Christ and you lead your family in serving the Lord, what a blessing you are to ALL that know you. As He has predestined us, He also called us; and as He called us, He also justified us; and being justified, He also glorified us. Romans 8:30. Brothers we rejoice in our afflictions, yes mom was taken so soon but we rejoice because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. Romans 5:3. We have hope, we are hopeful in this case. We walk by faith, not by sight. From now on, let no one cause us trouble, because we carry the marks of Jesus on our bodies. Brothers as we enter that room, filled with our opposers full of knowledge on their laws and regulations let fear not come into Gods holy sanctuary that is in you for our knowledge is in the LORD. Let us walk in like warriors waving the banner of our Lord God. With truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. Take your shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take your helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Gods word. Brothers with God on our side, no one can defeat us, we MUST believe that. Let us not be like people of this world expecting so little from God and of little faith. Brothers faith is never too bold to please the Lord. Its time we take advantage of what the good Lord has given us, let our faith honor the Lord. Center your eyes on Jesus and we shall triumph over this storm and the clashing waves, it shall be under our feet. Let there be no division among us, let us be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. Let not our flesh take over and speak impatiently. Don't worry about how or what you should speak. For you will be given what to say at that hour, because you are not speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is speaking through you. Let us not worry of what others might think or say before, during and after this case because man does not see what the Lord sees, for man sees what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart. The Lord sees our hearts and thats all that matters. Let us remember and be encouraged by David and how he went against goliath. The huge beast stood before and above David, saying "Come here and Ill give your flesh to the birds of the sky and wild beasts!" But David said, "You come against me with a dagger, spear, and sword, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Today, the LORD, will hand you over to me. Then all the world will know that Israel has a God, and this whole assembly will know that it is not by sword or by spear that the LORD saves, for the battle is the LORDS.
The Lord will hand this case over to us brothers, and then the whole world will know that the Lord is with us, for this battle is His!!!!
Let us also be reminded of another event in the bible. Faced with war, Jehoash king of Israel went before the prophet Elisha. Elisha said, "Take the arrows!" So he took them, and he said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground!" So he struck the ground three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, "You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to them, but now you will only strike down Aram three times.
Let our faith be in the Lord to do more than our flesh can ever imagine. Let us be united in the Lords decision and let us always remember that no matter what our mother is finally home, dancing for Jesus, singing with the children and enjoying the many splendors of heaven.
