The Place of Crossing Dear Saints, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we journey together in faith, it is important to remember the significance of the places God has chosen for us to cross from one season to another, from one blessing to the next. Just as the Israelites had their "Place of Crossing," so do we have our appointed places where God calls us to step out in faith and trust in His promises. In the Old Testament, we read about the Israelites' journey into the Promised Land. After years of wandering in the wilderness, their moment of crossing came at the Jordan River. In Joshua 3:15-17, it is written: "As soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away... So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jorda

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

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

The Voice of Understanding: Exploring Divine Wisdom Through the Word of Life

  Listening to the Word of Life: Unfolding God's Thoughts in Christ Dear Beloved, Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May the peace that surpasses all understanding fill your hearts and minds as we explore together the profound concept of the "Word of life." In this letter, I wish to delve into the depths of this term and share its implications for our faith journey. As we open the Gospel of John, we encounter the awe-inspiring declaration: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1, NIV). Contained within these words is a revelation that transcends human comprehension. The Word is more than communication; it is the living expression of God's divine nature. Consider our own human experiences. Often, our thoughts remain veiled within our minds until we find the words to convey them. Similarly, the profound thoughts, intentions, and nature of God remained enshrouded until the app

The True Meaning of Hallelujah: A Call to Praise the Name of God

04SEP2023 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, Grace and peace be with you all. Today, I write to you as we gather in the spirit of unity and faith to delve into the profound and sacred meaning of "Hallelujah" - a word that has echoed through the ages as an expression of our heartfelt praise to the Almighty. As we explore this word, let us gain a deeper understanding of why believers continually lift their voices in praise to the Name of God. **Hallelujah**, a word rooted in the very heart of our faith, can be found throughout the pages of the Holy Scriptures. It is a Hebrew expression that essentially means **"Praise the Lord!"** It is a command, an imperative to exalt and magnify our Creator. In our praise, we are invited to: 1. **Praise God for His Greatness:** In Psalm 150, we are called to praise God in His sanctuary, in the heavens, for His acts of power and surpassing greatness. (Psalm 150:1-2) 2. **Praise God with Instruments and Voices:** We are encou

Embracing the Ninth Month September: A Season of Transformation

Signifying the End of One Chapter and the Dawn of a New Era in Christ Dear Believers in Christ Jesus, Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we gather together in the ninth month of 2023, I am reminded of the biblical significance of the number nine - a number that often symbolizes the completion of a significant event and the beginning of a new phase in our story. Just as the consecration of the tabernacle reached its culmination on the ninth day, and Jesus cried out on the ninth hour of His crucifixion, we find ourselves in a season that signifies the end of one chapter and the dawn of a new one. In the story of the tabernacle, the eighth day was a day of preparation and consecration, and then, on the ninth day, the tabernacle was fully operational, and the glory of God appeared. It was a moment of fulfillment and the manifestation of God's divine plan. Similarly, when Jesus cried out on the ninth hour, it marked the completion of His ear

Purpose Through God's Breath

Finding Renewed Purpose Through God's Breath Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters, Grace and peace to you in abundance from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the journey of faith, there come times when weariness seeks to dim our spirits and doubts cast shadows over our purpose. But remember, in those moments of uncertainty, we possess an unfailing source of strength and guidance—the Word of God. As the Apostle Paul wrote to his dear friend Timothy, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17) Picture this: as you open your Bible, you're opening a channel to the very breath of God. His Ruach, His Spirit, resonates through every word, offering wisdom, clarity, and restoration. When the world's noise distracts you, let the gentle whisper of God's breath remind you of your purpose—a purpose that transcen
