All Other Voices will Be Silenced

 When God Speaks, All Other Voices Cease

Dear Believers in All Nations,

I hope this letter finds you well and full of hope in your faith journey. In times of uncertainty and doubt, it's essential for us to take solace in the promises of our Lord, knowing that God's voice will always prevail over all others.

The Contest at Mount Carmel:

In the pages of the Bible, we find stories that remind us of God's unwavering power and His ability to silence all voices that oppose His will. One such story is the contest at Mount Carmel, where the prophet Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal. In a stunning display of divine authority, God sent down fire from heaven, consuming the sacrifice and the altar, while the false prophets were silenced.

Pharisees and Religious Leaders:

In the New Testament, we see Jesus engaging in debates with the Pharisees and religious leaders who questioned His authority and teachings. Through His wisdom and the authority of His words, Jesus often left these challengers without a response. In Matthew 22:46, the Pharisees tested Him with questions, but no one was able to answer Him a word, and from that day on, no one dared to ask Him any more questions.

A Call to Action:

As believers in all nations, we can draw strength and comfort from these biblical accounts. We must remember that God's voice will always prevail, and in our own lives, we can be assured that His guidance and wisdom will lead us through any challenges we may face. Let us stand firm in our faith, knowing that all other voices that seek to oppose the divine will shall ultimately be silenced.

Matthew 22:46:

In the words of Matthew 22:46, "No one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask Him any more questions." This verse serves as a powerful reminder that when we place our trust in God and seek His wisdom, all other voices, doubts, and fears will be silenced before the Almighty.

May this assurance strengthen your faith, unite believers across all nations, and grant you the courage to face any challenges that come your way. Let us continue to walk in the light of His guidance, knowing that God's voice will always be the one that prevails.

A Servant of the Most High,

Anointed For Battle

The Key to Anointing and Strength for the Battle Ahead

~Image of a shining anointing oil bottle and a battlefield scene.

Are you facing a tough battle in your life? Feeling overwhelmed or powerless? Remember, the key to anointing and strength for the battle ahead lies in God's plan and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Let's explore this with the stories of Samson, King David, and Jesus.

    Samson Anointed - Empowered for Victory

Samson's story reminds us that when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, he became a mighty force to reckon with. In Judges 14:6, it says, "The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him." He was empowered to conquer a lion, defeat enemies, and break free from bondage. This anointing enabled him to triumph over physical adversaries and overwhelming challenges.

    King David Anointed - Chosen for a Purpose

King David, in 1 Samuel 16:13, was anointed by the prophet Samuel to become the future king of Israel. Even as a shepherd boy, God had a plan for him. As David faced the trials of life, he drew strength from his anointing. In 1 Samuel 16:18, it mentions that the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.

    David vs. Saul - The Battle Within the Kingdom

As David's anointing became evident, he found himself embroiled in a tumultuous battle within the kingdom. King Saul, driven by jealousy and insecurity, sought to harm David. Despite facing constant threats and persecution, David held on to his faith in God's plan. He knew that his anointing was a divine calling to be God's chosen leader for Israel. Through prayer, wisdom, and courage, he navigated these treacherous waters.

    David vs. Goliath - A Giant Challenge

David's anointing became most evident when he faced the giant Goliath. This extraordinary event, recorded in 1 Samuel 17, showcases how his trust in God's empowerment enabled him to defeat the seemingly invincible foe. With a sling and a stone, David slew Goliath, a victory that stemmed from his faith in the anointing God had placed upon him.

    Jesus Anointed - The Ultimate Example

In Luke 3:22, when Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form, and a voice from heaven declared, "You are my Son, whom I love; with you, I am well pleased." This anointing marked the beginning of His earthly ministry. He faced unimaginable battles, including temptation, opposition, and ultimately the crucifixion. Yet, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, He triumphed over sin and death, offering salvation to all who believe.

    Jesus vs. Pharisees and Sadducees - Overcoming Religious Opposition

Throughout His ministry, Jesus faced relentless opposition from the Pharisees and Sadducees, religious leaders who challenged His teachings and sought to entrap Him with clever questions. Yet, Jesus, with divine wisdom and grace, consistently overcame their tactics. He exposed their hypocrisy, turning the tables on their schemes and pointing to the higher truths of God's love and grace.

By standing firm in His anointing and reliance on the Holy Spirit, Jesus remained unwavering in His mission to bring salvation and reveal the heart of God.

Today, we can draw strength from these stories. Just as Samson, David, and Jesus were anointed and empowered for their battles, so can we be. The key lies in recognizing our calling, embracing God's plan, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through us.

So, if you're in the midst of a battle, remember that you are anointed and empowered by God. With His Spirit resting upon you, you can face any challenge and emerge victorious. Trust in His plan, and let His strength guide you to triumph. 🙏🕊️

Strength and Peace to You All,

Two Tall Mountains

David Faced Two Tall Mountains: A Testament to God's Guidance

Dear Beloved Followers of Christ,

I pray this letter finds you immersed in the abundant love and grace of our Lord. Today, I am eager to share a profound insight into the life of King David, a man after God's own heart, as he navigated two towering mountains on his journey to the throne.

In the sacred scriptures, we encounter two towering characters labeled as "tall" - Goliath, the Philistine giant, and King Saul. Goliath epitomized physical might and external opposition, while Saul, once a mentor and later an adversary, symbolized internal struggles and earthly power.

In 1 Samuel 17, we witness David's unwavering courage as he faces Goliath, drawing strength from God's divine presence. Goliath, the seemingly insurmountable obstacle, fell before David's faith, guided by divine purpose. This triumph underscores our capacity to conquer formidable challenges through steadfast faith in God.

Furthermore, King Saul, though initially anointed and favored by God, turned away from divine guidance. As a consequence, God proclaimed in 1 Samuel 15:22-23, "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry."

Saul's disobedience led to his downfall on Mount Gilboa, revealing God's sovereign plan and divine justice. Through this, we understand that God, our ultimate Mountain Mover, orchestrates the removal of mountains in our lives when we trust and obey His will.

Today, I implore each one of us to embrace our faith as David did, knowing that God's purpose will prevail. Let us bear testimony to God's name as the true Mountain Mover in our lives, for He is the One who paves our paths, guiding us through every towering obstacle.

May our lives resonate with the testament of David's faith, and may we bear witness to God's love, grace, and omnipotence, shining His light on the only two characters labeled as "tall" in the Bible. Together, let us stand united, acknowledging that with God, we can conquer any mountain that looms before us.

In His name and for His glory,

Pst. JK. Woodall, Ph.D.

Rise in Faith: The Triumph of Christ Over Satan, Witnessed and Confirmed

Rejoicing in the Great Fall of Satan and Standing Firm in Faith

Dear Beloved Saints,

Grace and peace be unto you from our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed upon us His mighty power to overcome the forces of darkness. I write to remind you of the great fall of Satan, a fall witnessed by our Lord Himself, and the profound implications it has for our faith and journey in Christ.

In Isaiah 14:12-15, we read of the prideful King of Babylon, a passage often interpreted to symbolize the fall of Satan from heaven. It speaks of the haughty one's desire to ascend to the heavens, only to be brought low to the depths of Sheol. This narrative of pride and ensuing downfall mirrors the eternal destiny of Satan.

Ezekiel 28:12-19 further illustrates a similar fall, portraying the King of Tyre's pride and eventual downfall. Through symbolic language, it alludes to the fall of a being often associated with Satan, emphasizing the consequences of pride and rebellion against God.

However, the most vivid depiction of this fall is given to us by our Lord Jesus Himself in Luke 10:18, where He proclaimed, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." This powerful metaphor reflects a swift and decisive defeat, demonstrating Satan's loss of authority and dominion over God's creation.

Beloved, this declaration from our Lord is a call to action for us today. It beckons us to stand firm in faith, knowing that Jesus, the Son of God, bore witness to Satan's fall. The victory over evil has been secured through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and His triumphant resurrection.

We are reminded in Revelation 12:11 that we conquer the evil one "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony." Let us testify to the power of Christ and boldly proclaim His triumph over the enemy. Our testimonies serve as powerful reminders that the adversary has been defeated, and we now walk in the victory of our Lord.

In Ephesians 6:10-18, we are encouraged to put on the full armor of God, that we may stand against the schemes of the devil. Clothed with truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word of God, we wage this spiritual battle with unwavering faith and courage, knowing that we stand on the side of victory.

Therefore, dear Saints, let us declare with conviction that Satan's fall was great, and Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, witnessed it firsthand. He stands victorious, and we, in His strength, stand as conquerors. Let our lives be a testimony of this truth, reflecting the glory of our risen Lord.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit empower and sustain us as we march forward in faith.

In Christ's triumph,

Embracing God's Promise: Fulfilling Our Duty According to His Divine Will in the Perfect Ten - October 2023

Stepping into a Month of Divine Fulfillment and Abundant Blessings

Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we stand on the brink of October 2023, our hearts are stirred by the anticipation of aligning our lives with His divine will. This new month holds the promise of divine fulfillment and abundant blessings, inviting us to fully embrace His purpose and be witnesses to His mighty works.

In Hebrew numerology, the number 10, represented by the letter Yod, signifies completeness, perfection, and the presence of the divine. It beautifully complements our fundamental duty—to fear the Lord, walk in obedience, love Him wholeheartedly, and serve Him with unwavering devotion—capturing the essence of fulfilling God's will in its entirety.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 underscores this central duty, affirming that our purpose as believers is to fear God and follow His commandments diligently. This duty encapsulates our entire calling—to love, honor, and serve the Lord with the entirety of our being.

In Matthew 6:10, Jesus teaches us to pray, saying, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This verse echoes the profound desire to align our lives with God's divine will, seeking to fulfill our duty in harmony with His purpose, especially during this sacred month of October 2023.

As we embrace the dawn of this new month, let us do so with a resolute determination to fulfill our duty in complete accordance with His divine will. October 2023 offers us a canvas upon which to paint our faith—a faith that manifests in prayers, acts of love, and an unwavering trust in God's promises.

May this month be a living testimony to our unyielding faith, as we stand united in our commitment to live out His divine will. Let us join hands, encourage one another, and journey together as a community of believers, eagerly anticipating the fulfillment of God's promises in our lives.

With hearts ablaze with faith and dedication, we enter this new month, knowing that by aligning our actions, prayers, and faith with His divine will, we shall witness His promises manifest. May our lives resonate as a beautiful melody of devotion to Him, seeking His will above all else.

In HIS Love and Grace,
