God Keeps You From Stumbling

Alarmed by the presence of
false teaching, Jude exhorts
believers to stand firm for the truth.
He ends his short epistle with
a series of urgent commands:
Remember Christ’s words,
remain in God’s love and seek
to remove erring brothers from
the fiery danger of their ways.

Abba, U are Able & Will Keep Us:
All glory to God, who Is Able
to Keep You from stumbling,
and who will bring you into His
glorious presence innocent of sin
and with great joy. All glory to Him,
who alone is God our Saviour,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes, glory, majesty, power
and authority belong to Him,
in the beginning, now, and
forevermore (Jude 24-25). Amen.

God Listens When You Pray

Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship
with God & writes telling them how:
God is Light and therefore to
engage in fellowship with Him
means walking in the light of
His commandments. God is Love,
and thus His children must walk
in love. God is Life, and those
who desire fellowship with Him
must possess the spiritual life,
which begins with spiritual birth.

Lord, we will Ask Along Your Will:
This is the confidence we have
in approaching God; that if we
ask anything according to His will,
He hears us. And if we know that
He hears us – whatever we ask
– we know that we have what
we asked of Him (1Jn 5:14-15).

Confidence because we are like
Christ here in this world. Such
love has No Fear because perfect
love expels all fear (1Jn4:16-18).

us our sins and purify us from
all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9)
Whoever conceals their sins
does not prosper, but the ones
who confesses & renounces them
finds mercy (Prov 28:13) Amen.

Father, together we call for
Your protection and mercy
over Your children in China.
Holy Spirit, we ask that You
manifest your mighty presence
and mighty dunamis power
so that the Chinese will not
be fearful but instead they be
embolden for they know that they
worship the true and living God.
And dear Jesus, we ask that
You will continue to intercede
for our dear brothers & sisters
in Christ. In Your Name, Amen.
