Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and will call Him, Immanuel – ISAIAH 7:14
from Hebrew `immānū’el, literally: God with us.
The God of all creation, stepped down from glory and into our world, wrapped Himself in flesh, suffered and died a sinners death…why?
To be with us.
As I prepare to step into this new territory of cross cultural evangelism and missionary training , I am incredibly honored, excited but also intimidated. As my time of departure approaches, I do my best to fight off feelings of inadequacy, doubt, fear, laziness and distraction. That at times feels overwhelming, but then I remember Him. Who He is, What He has done and What He has promised. That in and through Jesus I am equipped and nothing is impossible ( Lk 1:37, Phil 4:13,) , That I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me (ROM 8:37), That His Spirit is not one of fear, but of power, love and of a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7) but the greatest of all these truth is that He is with me.(Matt 28:20)
YAHWEH, JEHOVAH, ELOHIM, EL-SHADDAI
JESUS THE CHRIST
is with me, and with you. I hope you’re encouraged by this simple but awesome truth. Please pray for me, that I will surrender more of myself to Him, that my fire for Him would be lit a new, and that I would continue to joyfully obey Him in love.
God Bless you,
and May we all continue to faithfully follow, love, obey and walk,
with The Lion and The Lamb.
