1Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things notseen. 2For therein the elders had witness borne to them. 3By faith weunderstand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so thatwhat is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.
...Was on my way to minister and preach at the Nursing home; though, there was no power in my house, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, except for my neighbors Kindness in sharing his generator power with our home; I was praying on my way preparing my heart and @ 2:30pm my son calls me and tells me that the power was back on. Coincidental?... truly providential, by God's will and answered prayer. Thank you, my family and friends for your faithful prayers.
Now to the providential, Preached today on Hebrews 11:1-3, The Aspects of persevering perpetual Faith in difficult times! My sister Connie had no electricity in West Orange until Thursday, but during that time she was illuminated to write on FB, " We may not have Electricity but the Lord knows we have Power!" Indeed, the LORD knows we have power in Him! Faith is indeed the true connection to receive connectivity with our great and mighty Triune God! Without Him, there is no connectivity and Power from on High! In Christ our power unto Salvation is truly met, relying on Him in Faith, dependently trusting on Him alone, is truly the Faith met in Him; no effort we can do to conjure up faith to receive God's blessing; but an assurance of Hope and the Conviction of Resting in His great faithfulness to keep His Covenant promises on behalf of His Chosen children, and you are His, if you believe with your Heart God Raised Jesus from the Dead and Confess with your mouth Jesus is LORD (He is God), and you will be Saved.
Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Just think about this, when we pray, we go to God with the assurance of Hope that He will be faithful to fulfill His Covenant promises, and we pray with conviction that He is there, even though we do not see Him with the naked eye, the conviction that He is there through the eyes of our Spiritual heart, made alive by the Holy Spirit, with open Arms. The fog of sin, fears, anxieties, disaster and loss may cloud our eyes, even though the fog is thick, yet the landscape of God's presence is Still there; we need the eyes of Faith to pierce through the fog that we may see His comforting presence with open arms to give us rest. Indeed, Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, in Him alone is our Sabbath rest met, no day out of the week, but everyday our Sabbath rest is met in Him! He is the fulfillment of the ages, and the reality and substance is met in Him!
