'The Agape Letters' to the House of Faith!

Volume 4 Chapter 6 Page 8

Monday June 25, 2007       9 Tammuz 5767 (Hebrew 9th Month)

"Captive Faith!"

 
"Chained to God's WORD!"

 

Luke 22:32 (Amplified Bible)
 
(Jesus speaking)
But I have prayed especially for you [Peter], that your [own] faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren.

 

The Apostle Luke writes that Christ Jesus prayed specifically for Peter's FAITH, that he would face the trials that were soon to come, meant to shake and sift him.

As the history and record of the 1st century unfolds, I come to understand that Christ was also praying for me 2000 years later, that my Faith would be solid and unshakeable.

Peter became that bold and courageous witness which Christ had urged him to become, and I understand that what Christ did was to use Peter to encourage, strengthen and establish HIS WORDs as the foundation of HIS Church.

It was this same Peter, strengthened by the Power of Holy Spirit, who saw past the bars and chains which imprisoned him, singing Praises to the Lord being delivered and set free.

It was this same Peter, who would share his Faith in Christ with the jailer and his family, testifying of Christ and his own 'Bondage' to God's WORD.

This 'Deliverance' belongs to every Believer in Christ, where their 'Stronghold of Faith' brings encouragement and God's Message of Hope to Believers and unbelievers alike.

'Stain Resistant' and 'Wrinkle Free', are 2 of the many qualities which Holy Spirit is directed by God to enhance in the lives to those who Believe in HIS Son,

Christ Jesus, Lord of lords and King of kings.

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

O'Lord, I will sing Praises to YOUR Name which is above all names,
YOUR song put upon my lips by YOUR Spirit of Power and Might!
Faith in Christ is strengthened to withstand every trial,
to bring forth YOUR Message to those held captive in sin!!
Freedom to speak of YOUR Grace and Mercy Eternal,
Bound by YOUR WORDs I must be strong and take my stand!!!
A Day is Coming that every knee will bow before YOU,
where every tongue will one day confess YOU are God,
Lord and Savior of the Redeemed, is YOUR Son Christ Jesus!

O'Lord, YOU alone are Righteous and True!!!
Amen!!!
