And... we've reached our final day!
"Then I heard the voice of the Father. When I was tied up and tortured, His voice gave me strength. When I was hungry and laying on the cold concrete floor, His love brought me warmth. The words of the Father brought me hope."

"The government may have killed my father and my grandfather. They may have tortured their families, but they could not kill the vision!"
Communism wins when people don’t resist it. People don’t resist Communism because they fear man more than they fear the Lord. I speak out against Communism because Jesus is Lord, not Caesar. Resistance brings persecution, but I am okay with that. Persecution means I am over the target and in fellowship with Jesus.
“If our goal is reducing persecution, that task is easily achieved...persecution stops immediately where there is no
faith and no witness.” —Nik Ripken. (Missionary and Author Of “The Insanity Of God.”)
The Bible is like a manual. So just like any other manual there is only so much you can learn from simply reading it. You gotta live it out.

The apostles' passionate obedience to the call of God is inspirational.
They knew they were risking their lives when they disobeyed the high priest and his officials by proclaiming Jesus publicly.
They had the "message of life!" How could they not declare it?
Threats didn't stop them. Arrest didn't contain them.
They were propelled by their love for Jesus,
their conviction that he had been raised from the dead,
and the call of their Lord to share his message with their lost friends, neighbors, and even enemies.
Acts 5:17-21

HELLO!!! It's a fantastic morning, glory to God! Today, I have a little devotional out of Ephesians 1. Be blessed.

I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too — your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful —
I can't take it all in!
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you're there!
If I go underground, you're there!
If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, you'd find me in a minute — you're already there waiting!
Psalm 139:5-10

When night settles down on a church the Lord has his watchers and holy ones still guarding his truth, and these must not be discouraged, but must bless the Lord even when the darkest hours draw on. — Charles Spurgeon
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; and His song will be with me in the night, a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8 (NASB)
