Stand Fast

From church last week (4/27/08):

Word
Can a man please Me if he does not not believe that I am who I say I am? Can any walk in righteousness if they do not hear My voice and walk according to all that I speak? I have come near to speak to all who will hear Me this day. I am looking for those who will be faithful to Me even until the end. Stand fast, all you who know truth. Hold fast to all that I have shown you that you may be stayed in perfect peace and that your mind may be stayed on Me.

Have confidence in Me and My voice alone that nothing can cause you to be shaken.

Who has given up all to follow Me? Who have counted all as loss and has taken up their cross and followed Me? Who has ceased from laboring in the flesh that they may walk according to the leading of My Spirit? I tell you all who believe Me and hold fast to the words of My mouth will lack nothing. For I am with you. Wherever you go, I am there. My Spirit goes before you to make a way where there doesn't seem to be a way. My righteousness is your covering and My glory is your rear guard. Do not become anxious My people, do not become weary in well-doing. Whatsoever is pure and holy and true, think on these things.

Stir up the gifts that are within you. Many are called, but only few are chosen. Only few have heard the call and have let faith arise, believing that it is I who has made them free. Go not back, My children. Continue to walk on the path that is set before you, drinking the pure water daily and instructing others in the ways of righteousness.

God be with us,
Ryan
