PRAYER WILL BRING POWER TO OVERCOME.

We must have on the whole armor of God and be ready at any moment for a conflict with the powers of darkness. when temptations and trials rush in upon us, let us go to God and agonize with Him in prayer,. He will not turn as away empty, but will give us grace and strength to overcome, and to break the power of the enemy.

We are one body.

UNITY AND MATURITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

Ephesians 4: 1-6 NIV

4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who…

Poem: Called to Holiness

Moving away from unholiness is attainable,

by modifying and monitoring your godless behavior.

Know that you’re called into fellowship with Him;

begin mirroring the traits of our blessed Savior.

For you can do all things through Christ,

who joyfully and faithfully strengthens His Children;

you have been given the necessary Biblical tools

for overcoming Life’s constant pressures of sin.

Turn away from impurity of thoughts…

I trust You Lord to honor Your Word, while…

avoiding the silliness of knocking on wood.

Willingly, I step forward boldly with faith

through the wide doors of opportunities;

having consumed The Word in great quantities,

I…
