CHRIST’S NEW COMMANDMENT OF LOVE!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY JUNE 11, 2023.

SUBJECT : CHRIST’S NEW COMMANDMENT OF LOVE!

Memory verse: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13 vs 34.)

READ: Romans 13 vs 8 - 10:

13:8: Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

13:9: For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as Yourself.”

13:10: Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

INTIMATION:

The new commandment is the law of love for one another. It was given by our great King Jesus Christ, who said, “Love one another as I loved you” (John 15 vs 12). To love others was not a new commandment (see Leviticus 19 vs 18), it was originally summarized in the Old Testament, and was the basis for all the laws of how people should relate with one another. But to love others as Christ loved us was new and revolutionary. 

Now we are to love others based on Jesus' sacrificial love for us; He loved us and gave His life so that we can live. Jesus is a living example of God's love—Who gave His only Son as a propitiation for us. His unique and unequalled love for us caused Him to give His life for us, hence He said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15 vid 13).

Jesus summarized the law as Love for God and neighbor (Matthew 22 vs 37 - 40). The new law holds us accountable to God and devoted to others. In the the passage we read today, the apostle Paul said that love demonstrated toward a neighbor would fully satisfy the law. Therefore, when we fail to love we are actually breaking God’s law. A heart of love, both towards God and your fellow human, is a fundamental requirement in our relationship and fellowship with God.

We must treat all people as we would want to be treated. This is a debt that all believers in Christ owe. Why? Because we are permanently in debt to Christ for the lavish love He has poured out on us. The only way we can even begin to repay this debt is by fulfilling our obligation to love others in turn. Because Christ’s love will always be infinitely greater than ours, we will always have the obligation to love our neighbors. 

The love for your neighbor is limitless and has no boundaries. It doesn’t ignore anybody, because ignoring anybody, whether rich or poor, is tantamount to withholding our love. But we must not favor the rich for what they can do for us, while ignoring the poor who can offer us seemingly nothing or so little in return.

The Scripture recognizes love for one another as a demonstration of love for God; "If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar, for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" (First John 4 vs 20.) Therefore, love your neighbor you are seeing before you can claim your love for God you do not see.

Christians must obey the law of love, which supersedes both religious and civil laws. It’s quite easy for us to excuse our indifference to others merely because we have no legal obligation to help them, and even, in some circumstances, justly harming them if our actions are technically legal! For instance, if our actions are legal and beneficial to us, we may not care how it affect others. But Jesus does not leave loopholes in the law of love. Whenever love demands it, we are to go beyond human legal requirements and imitate the God of love. 

When we believers lose the motivation of love, we become critical of others. We stop looking for good in them and see only their faults. Soon we lose our unity. Have you talked behind someone’s back? Have you focused on others’ shortcomings instead of their strengths? Remind yourself of Jesus’ command to love others as you love yourself. (Matthew 22 vs 39). When you begin to feel critical of someone, make a list of that person’s positive qualities. When problems need to be addressed, confront in love rather than gossip.

It’s noteworthy that we need self-love that can influence our love for others. But even if you have low self-esteem, you probably don’t willingly let yourself go hungry. You take care of your body and may even exercise. You clothe yourself reasonably well. You make sure there is a roof over your head. You try not to let yourself be cheated or injured. This is the kind of love we need to have for our neighbors. 

Now, do we see that others are fed, clothed, and housed as well as they can be? Are we concerned about issues of social justice? Loving others as ourselves means actively working to see that their needs are met. Interestingly, people who focus on others rather than on themselves rarely suffer from low self-esteem.

Examine your attitude and actions toward others. Do you build people up or tear them down? When you really criticize someone, remember God’s law of love and say something good instead. Saying something beneficial to others will cure you of finding fault and increase your ability to obey God’s law of love.

Prayer: Abba Father, endue me with the spirit of love for You and my neighbor that I may love others as Christ loves me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

Faith for the Future

 

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

If “all the promises of God find their Yes in [Jesus],” then to trust him now in the present is to believe that his promises will come true.

Those are not two separate faiths — trusting him, and believing in his promises. Trusting Jesus — believing in Jesus for salvation — means believing that he keeps his word. Being satisfied in the crucified and risen Jesus includes the belief that at every future moment, to all eternity, nothing will separate us from his love, or keep him from working all things together for our good. And that “good” is ultimately seeing and savoring the beauty and worth of God in Christ as our supreme Treasure.

The confidence that this all-satisfying good will be there for us forever is based on all the glorious grace of the past, especially the grace that God did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all (Romans 8:32).

We need to taste now the spiritual beauty of God in all his past achievements — especially the death and resurrection of Christ for our sins — and in all his promises. Rooted in this past grace, our confidence and trust lay hold on all that God himself will be for us in the next moment, and in the next month, and in the endless ages of eternity.

It is he and he alone who will satisfy the soul in the future. And we must be sure of this future, if we are to live the radical Christian lives that Christ calls us to live here and now.

If our present enjoyment of Christ now — our present faith — does not have in it the Yes to all God’s promises, it will not embrace the power for radical service in the strength that God (in every future moment) will supply (1 Peter 4:11).

My prayer is that reflecting like this on the nature of faith in future grace will help us avoid superficial, oversimplified statements about believing the promises of God. It is a deep and wonderful thing.

When Reason Serves Rebellion

 

The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!” (Proverbs 22:13)

This is not what I expected the proverb to say. I would have expected it to say, “The coward says, ‘There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!’” But it says, “sluggard,” not “coward.” So, the controlling emotion here is laziness, not fear.

But what does laziness have to do with the danger of a lion in the street? We don’t usually say, “This man is too lazy to go do his work because there is a lion outside.”

The point is that the sluggard creates imaginary circumstances to justify not doing his work, and thus shifts the focus from the vice of his laziness to the danger of lions. No one will approve his staying in the house all day just because he is lazy. But they might excuse him if there is a lion in the street.

One profound biblical insight we need to learn from this is that our heart exploits our mind to justify what we want. That is, our deepest desires precede the rational functioning of our minds and incline the mind to perceive and think in a way that will make the desires look right, even if they’re wrong.

This is what the sluggard is doing. He deeply desires to stay at home and not work. There is no good reason to stay at home. So, what does he do? Does he overcome his bad desire — his laziness? No, he uses his mind to create unreal circumstances to justify his desire.

Jesus said, “The light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil” (John 3:19). We love the darkness so that we can keep on doing what we want without exposure. In this condition, the mind becomes a factory of darkness — a fountain of half-truths, equivocations, sophistries, evasions, and lies — anything to protect the evil desires of the heart from exposure and destruction.

Consider and be wise.

FEAR NOT!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY JUNE 10, 2023.

SUBJECT : FEAR NOT!

Memory verse: "Say to those who are fearful-heart, “Be strong, do not fear!, Behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you." (Isaiah 35 vs 4.)

READ: Psalm 27 vs 1; Isaiah 41 bs 10; Second Timothy 1 vs 7; Hebrews 13 vs 6:

Psalms 27:1: (A Psalm of David.)The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Isaiah 41:10: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Second Timothy 1:7: For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Hebrews 13:6: So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

INTIMATION: 

Fear is a dark shadow that envelops us and ultimately imprisons us within ourselves. Everyone has been a prisoner of fear at one time or another—fear of rejection, misunderstanding, uncertainty, sickness, or even death. But we can conquer fear by trusting in the Lord, who brings salvation. If we want to dispel the darkness of fear, let us remember with the psalm writer that “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalms 27  vs 1 (A Psalm of David.)

Throughout the Bible we find this phrase “Do not fear!” God wasn’t trying to scare the people. He was showing His mighty power so the people would know He was the true God and would, therefore, obey Him. If they would do this, He would make His power available to them. God wants us to follow Him out of love rather than fear. To overcome fear, we must think more about His love. First John 4 vs 18 says, “Perfect love casts out fear.”

Fear can immobilize us. The size of a job, it’s risk, or the pressure of the situation can cause us to freeze and do nothing. One remedy for fear is found here: ‘Don’t focus on the fear; instead, focus on God who controls all circumstances.’ Getting started is often the most difficult and frightening part of a job.

When you fear what lies ahead, remember that God will stay with you through difficult times and that He has promised you great blessings. When new situations or surroundings frighten you, recognize that experiencing fear is normal. To be paralyzed by fear, however, is an indication that you question God’s ability to care of you. 

The Lord says, in Isaiah 43 vs 2, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame kindle upon you.” Going through rivers of difficulty will either cause you to drawn or force you to grow stronger. If you go in your own strength though, you are more likely to drawn. If you invite the Lord to go with you, He will protect you.

In any struggle, fear can keep us from taking a stand for God and from participating in God’s victories. Face your fear head-on. If you are grounded in God, victory will come when you hold that ground. Every believer is the Master’s child. What a privilege! Because we are God’s children, we share in great treasures as co-heirs. God has already given us His best gifts: His Son, His Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and eternal life; and He encourages us to ask Him for whatever we need.

When we allow fear to rule us, we make fear more powerful than God. Remember God is greater than all your fears. Recognizing why you are afraid is the first step in committing your fear to God. When we follow God regardless of the difficulties, we demonstrate courageous, and overcoming faith. 

Have you ever been surrounded by the “enemy” or faced overwhelming odds? God is never intimidated by the size of the enemy or the complexity of a problem. With Him, there are always enough resources to resist the pressures and win the battle. Know it that the size and nature of your problem would not restrict God’s ability to help you. 

Jesus said in Matthew 10 vs 29 - 32: “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Jesus said that God is aware of everything that happens even to sparrows, and you are far more valuable to Him than they are. You are so valuable that God sent His only Son to die for you (John 3 vs 16). 

Because God places such value on you, you need never fear personal threats or difficult trials. These can’t shake God’s love or dislodge His Spirit from within you. This doesn’t mean, however, that God will take away all your troubles. The real test of value is how well something holds up under the wear, tear, and stress of everyday life. Those who stand up for Christ in spite of their troubles truly have lasting value and will receive great rewards. 

Do you ever think that because you aren’t good enough for God, He will not save you? Do you ever feel as if salvation is for everyone else but you? If God gave His Son for you, He isn’t going to hold back the gift of salvation. If Christ gave His life for you, He isn’t going to turn around and condemn you. He will not withhold anything you need to live for Him.

Prayer: Abba Father, in You I live, and move, and have my being. If You be for me, no one can be against me. You are my helper, I will not be afraid, under the canopy of Your mighty wings You have hidden me, and is standing me on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I will fear no evil for You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I commit my whole being to Your care, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

A PURE HEART GUARANTEES ACCESS TO GOD!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY JUNE 09, 2023.

SUBJECT : A PURE HEART GUARANTEES ACCESS TO GOD!

Memory verse: "Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God." (Matthew 5 vs 8.)

READ: Psalm 24 vs 3 - 4:

24:3: Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? 

24:4: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.

INTIMATION:

A pure heart is the foundation for prayers that command answers from heaven. Preparing your heart in purity is the first step to establishing a viable communication link with God, because prayer can only flow when sin is absent. It takes a pure heart and pure hands to approach the presence of God. 

Whatever pollutes or corrupts your heart blocks your access to heaven's hotline. The psalmist says in Psalm 66 vs 18, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear." Since the purity of your heart is the determining factor in receiving answers to prayers, your heart must be adequately prepared to ensure that your exercise in prayers does not end in futility. 

Our communication with God has its root in the heart. This is because the heart is the abode of the spirits—the spirit of man (the inward man), and the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit). The communion of the spirits is in the heart; the Holy Spirit communes with our inward man, and through this communion the heart intent, the real you is revealed to God. 

The heart is the altar upon which the sacrifices of praise and the incense of prayers are offered. The Bible says in First Samuel 16 vs 7, "....For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks on the the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Therefore, your heart must be adequately prepared, and consecrated to God for Him to hear you. 

It is not what you do or say outwardly that guarantees a release from heaven, but what goes on in your heart. In fact, what becomes of you ultimately in the kingdom is a function of what goes on in your heart. When your heart is upright, the words that your lips utter are pure knowledge (Job 33 vs 3), and acceptable to God.

God rates you by what He sees in your heart. That means, there is no outstanding answer to prayers without first an outstanding preparation in the heart. God does not reckon with the outward appearance, neither is He moved by physical efforts; what moves Him is your heart. Therefore, your heart must be set for an encounter with Him when you pray. 

In First Samuel 1 vs 13, the Bible says, "Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken." She spoke in her heart, but God heard her. Her real self was known to God who saw her pure heart and sincere supplication, and He granted her petition.

Each time the children of Israel sought an encounter with God, they always made a sin offering (Leviticus 9 vs 3 - 4). The sin offering covers their sin and purifies their hearts. For instance, before Elijah's mount Carmel victory, the first thing he did was to repair the broken down altar, which in the New Testament order represents the heart (First Kings 18 vs 30). If anything has tampered with God's altar in your life, then get set to repair it; because until that is done, communication in prayer with Him cannot be established.

In the New Testament order, the sin offering represents the renewing of your covenant position through consecration of your heart to God. With this in place you can't miss Him. Every blessing in Scriptures is reserved for the righteous and that includes the blessing of answered prayers.

Sin is a barrier to prayers. It offends our Holy God and separates us from Him. Because God is holy, He cannot ignore, excuse, or tolerate sin as though it didn't matter. You can't embrace sin and expect God to embrace you. Therefore, only the pure in heart should expect to see God in their affairs. If God must hear you, you must first hear Him.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are Holy, and Your eyes do not behold iniquity. Only those with a pure can approach You. O Lord, create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, that I may be worthy of receiving from You that which You reserves for the righteous, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

THE NEED OF THANKSGIVING IN OUR PRAYERS!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY JUNE 08, 2023.

SUBJECT : THE NEED OF THANKSGIVING IN OUR PRAYERS!

Memory verse: "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (First Thessalonians 5 vs 18.)

READ: Psalm 103 vs 1 - 5:

103:1: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

103:2: Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:  

103:3: Who forgives our iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 

103:4: Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 

105:2: Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

INTIMATION: 

Thanksgiving is the expression of joy Godward, and an integral part of our relationship with, and praise to God. It is the fruit of the Spirit, and believers are encouraged to abound in it. The Bible, in Revelation 7 vs 11 - 12 says, "All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

In everything we should give thanks because it is the Will of God. We know that God is the performer of every good thing we have seen in our lives, and others. He is the doer of all the invisible happenings in our lives in accordance with His goodness and mercy. God is responsible for all the benefits especially intangible benefits, accruing to us in life, and giving Him thanks always help us avoid taking God's provisions for granted. 

All we have are gifts from God; life, faith, salvation, possessions etc (John 3 vs 27; Ephesians 2 vs 8 - 9; James 1 vs 17). When someone gives you a gift, the appropriate response is 'thank you.' Thanksgiving therefore, is also a proper response to God at all times, and in everything. The psalmist says, “It is good to gives thanks to the Lord, and sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night. (Psalm 92 vs 1 - 2.)

The basis of praise, and thanksgiving is declaring God's character and attributes. When we recognize and affirm His goodness we are holding up His perfect moral nature for all to see. With genuine praise, and thanksgiving, we ascribe to God all the glory due to Him. We cannot thank Him enough for His great and wondrous acts in our lives. 

In the passage we read today, David tried listing some of the benefits accruing to us daily from God; plenty for which to give Him thanks and praise. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from destruction, crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies, satisfies our desires, and gives righteousness and justice. We receive all of these without deserving any of them. No matter how difficult your life’s journey, you can always count your blessings. And praise and thanksgiving benefit us because it takes our minds off our problems and needs, and focuses on God's power, mercy, majesty, and love. 

God has graciously adopted us as His children who are born of His Will, therefore, we should rest assured of His presence in our lives at all times. Consequently, in everything that happens to us, we should be thankful for God's presence, and for the good that He will accomplish through the happening, knowing that, "All things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8 vs 28). 

It’s noteworthy that God works in 'all things,’ not just in isolated incidents, and for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but God is able to turn every circumstance around for our long-range good. 

The psalmist in Psalm 95 vs 2 says, "Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving…" Therefore, we should always acknowledge God's goodness, and His presence with thanksgiving. God is pleased when we give Him thanks. He uses our responsiveness to teach us more about Himself, revealing Himself more to us for our benefits.  

Your offer of thanksgiving will not be in words only. Just as we naturally show appreciation for what others have done to us both in words and material offering, we should do the same to our Father in heaven. Your material offering in thanksgiving is an application to God for more. God will ever reciprocate all your offerings to Him, and in greater dimension. 

Thanksgiving should be in all areas of life, and If you are truly thankful, your life will show it. As an integral part of our praise to God, it is what we do ourselves. This is the instruction of the Lord. (See Leviticus 7 vs 28 - 30). God told the people of Israel to bring their offering personally with their own hands. They were to take time and effort to express thanks to God. It’s quite obvious that you are the only person who will express adequately your thankfulness to God and to others who have blessed, or helped you.

Prayer: Abba Father, Your praise will be in my lips always, and I will thank You, O Lord, for Your presence and the good that You will accomplish through any circumstances of life that I face. Endue me with the spirit of grace, supplication, and thanksgiving to You at all times, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

YIELD YOUR HEART TO GOD!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY JUNE 07, 2023.

SUBJECT: YIELD YOUR HEART TO GOD!

Memory verse:  "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer" (Psalm 19 vs 14).

READ: Psalm 37 vs 31; 40 vs 8:

37:31: The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

40:8: I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.

INTIMATION: 

The heart is the chief organ of physical life. It occupies the most important place in human system. By an easy transition the word came to stand for man’s entire mental and moral activity, both rational and the emotional elements. In other words the heart is used figuratively for the hidden springs of the personal life. 

The Bible describes human depravity as in the ‘heart,’ because sin is a principle which has its seat in the centre of man’s inward life, and then ‘defiles’ the whole circuit of his action (Matthew 15 vs 19 - 20). On the other hand, Scripture regards the heart as the sphere of Divine influence (Romans 2 vs 15). The heart, as lying deep within, contains ‘the hidden man,’ (First Peter 3 vs 4) the real man. It represents the true character but conceals it.

The very first place in your life is your heart (your mind). It is very important to yield to God that very first place in your life! When you do this, you will be yielding your mind and spirit as channels through which God can think His thoughts. When His thoughts are expressed through you and in you, your words become His will. Your prayer, your thought process, your words are according to His will, and you will a commander of this world because you get whatever you say. 

By your words, you establish in your life the exact place that God will hold. God recognizes you by your words. Your prayer and meditation should be from your heart that you may obey Him from your heart. Obeying God from your heart means to give yourself fully to Him; to love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind (Matthew 22 vs 37). This is God’s greatest commandment, and He wants to give you the power to obey Him with all your heart. 

As you meditate, see that your meditations are governed by the word of God. Your conduct is largely made of past thinking. Jesus said, “...Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12 vs 34). You cannot think or meditate long and deeply without your thought materializing into action and words. And what you say and do reveal what is in your heart. Therefore, occupying your heart with God and His Word ensures that you will always walk in accordance with His Will. Consequently, you will receive all your petitions to Him because you will always pray according to His Will flooding your heart.

Jesus says in Revelation 3 vs 20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and He with Me.” Jesus knocks at the door of our hearts because he wants to save us and have fellowship with us.

God is willing to live in the hearts of His people—He takes residence in the heart of those who love Him. Therefore, yield your heart completely to Him, put Him first in everything in all areas of your life, and you will be a true follower of Him. A lifetime of doing good is not enough if we make the crucial mistake of not following God with all our hearts. 

Jesus said, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to Him and make Our home with him” (John 14 vs 23). Do you realize what it means to have God the Father and the Son make Their home with you? It is awesome! Nothing can be impossible with you! You will have the world in your pocket!

When you discover God, your understanding of what place God holds in your life begins to come alive. The discovery starts with reading and hearing the Word, to know Him—the only One who has the answer for all your life concerns. As you study, you will realize the greatness of God's words, and also realize your own limitations. In His Word is the answer to any dilemma in which you might ever find yourself. If you do realize these truths and affirm them, God will open doors to you that you formerly thought were impossible to open. 

Give your heart completely to God. Let your words express the truth about what God means to you, about your union and partnership with Him. Affirm that He is the One who backs you up and furnishes you with the strength to accomplish all you do. 

Give Him credit for His ability and wisdom. Dare to confess aloud to let the world hear that your confidence for success lies in His grace as He has shown to you. God will always honor such commitment. Only with Him do all things become possible, and "without Him you can do nothing" (John 15 vs 5).

Prayer: Abba Father, in You I live, and move, and have my being. Flood my heart with Your thoughts for I desire an intimate relationship with You. Create in Me a clean heart, always thirsty of Your Word. My desire is that Your Word will richly dwell in me through faith, and I may be filled with the fullness of You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
