Fear of The Lord and Comfort of The Holy Spirit

“Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified.  And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.”

Acts 9:31

“By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.                      Proverbs 22:4

Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for our spiritual brothers and sisters, Your bride, for us to only fear You and to be filled with peace and the comfort of Your abiding Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

Be of Good Cheer, I Have Overcome The World

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 BibleGateway

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

Ephesians 1:19-23 BibleGateway

Breathe On Your People

“So Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.’

“And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.'” John 20:21-22

A Christian brother’s passing, saying his last words, “I can’t breath”

Jesus, no one dies in vain who knows You.

“O Lord, O Lord, come from the 4 winds, breathe on Your people”

Luke 23:43, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in paradise.”

 

 

My Favorite Author

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”   Hebrews 12:2

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”   1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

A friend listed some of her favorite writers, suddenly I thought, I read the Bible more than even Christian authors. Bibles make great Christmas gifts, too, even specifically for children.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”   2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)
