The strong and Mighty Jehovah

"Who is the King of glory? Jehovah, strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle."

Is thy heart faint? Thy strength but utter weakness? Behold thy Lord---Jehovah-- a soldier, a warrior, with sufficient power to break down every opposition. Hear Him say, " My presence shall go with thee to conquer every foe." Strong and might Jehovah, give me victory over all the power of the enemy this day. Let it be so...

Jehovah, Mighty in Battle

"Who is the King of Glory?
Jehovah, mighty in battle."
Psalm 24:8

No life can be lived for God in these difficult days without terrific conflict. Foes within and foes without assail each saint continuously. Principalities and powers are arrayed against the child of God who seeks to serve His Master. We have no might with which to meet "this great host that cometh out against us," but JEHOVAH, MIGHTY IN BATTLE, is our Savior, our Intercessor, our Elder Brother, our ever-present Friend. ' Sure, I must fight if I would win: increase my courage, Lord." This is where I am at today...Let it be so Lord. Let it be so.

Lent

Definition of Lent: The period leading up to Easter. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, repentence, charity and self-denial — for the annual observance during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.


You do not have to be Catholic to observe Lent. I try to use this time to just spend more time reading my Bible and praying. Especially because Jesus being raised from the dead is THE basis for my faith. It's an interesting thing to think about....


If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, my life is a sham. I've invested everything in, staked everything on, entrusted everything to the historical fact of the empty tomb of Jesus. If his body and bones are still buried somewhere in Palestine, or have long since disintegrated under the force of time and the laws of physics, nothing has meaning for me, nor do I have meaning for anything or anyone else. -Sam Storms
