@Jhayward Amen.
A quote from S. Wigglesworth
"We should be able under all circumstances to triumph.
Not that we have any help in ourselves, but our help comes only from God, and if our help is only in God then we are always strong and never weak.
It is always those people who are full of faith who have a “good report,” who never murmur, who are in the place of victory, who are not in the place of human order, but of divine order in God.
He is the Author of our faith, and our faith is always based on “thus saith the Lord.”
A quote from S. Wigglesworth
"Take your position from the first epistle of John and declare, “He who is in [me] is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Then recognize that it is not you who has to deal with the power of the Devil, but the Greater One who is in you.
Oh, what it means to be filled with Him! You can do nothing in yourself, but He who is in you will win the victory".
@Chidiotamiri Amen.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ who are on Ding Dash.
You know their life, their challenges, their fears, their problems and everything else in their life.
In the name of Jesus, deliver them, O Father, from all danger, give them the strength, the grace, the help of angels and everything they need to do Your will faithfully.
Comfort, Father, through the Holy Spirit, those who are discouraged, heal those who are sick and protect everyone.
May your powerful love continue to reign in the hearts of all of us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
@tanjaostman Even in Italy we have the same problem. And the cost of everything is increasing.
@weavers4jesus I pray that the God of all grace will specifically intervene to solve this problem and to give you peace. I pray that God will help you find grace with the authorities and encamp his holy angels to protect you and your family in every situation. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
@weavers4jesus @Cherishingsparrows2020
I pray that God's protection can be upon you and that God can provide everything you need. God bless you.

Welcome to all of you in Ding Dash. God bless you abundantly.
A quote from S. Wigglesworth
One of my fellow workers in ministry said to me at Christmas-time,
"Wigglesworth, I was never so near the end of my finances in my life."
I replied, "Thank God, you are just at the opening of God‘s treasures."
It is when we possess nothing that we can possess all things. The Lord will always meet you when you are on the edge of living.
Thank you brother Alan @DevotionalTreasures for this beautiful devotional, "Patient In Prayer". Sharing your hymn choice of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJeNUlNY7Iw&t=163s
There are two main ways in which faith differs from hope.
The first is that hope is directed toward the future, but faith is established in the present.
Hope is an attitude of expectancy concerning things that are yet to be, but faith is a substance – a confidence, something real and definite within us – that we possess here and now.
The second main difference between faith and hope is that hope is anchored in the realm of the mind; faith is anchored in the realm of the heart.
This is very strikingly brought out in Paul’s description of scriptural armour required by the Christian soldier.
But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation (1 Thess. 5:8).

@sarikorpi I agree with you. The situation is getting worse and worse. Probably what is happening in Italy will also happen elsewhere. Think I have another update that worries me even more. Just yesterday in Italy an intervention protocol in the event of nuclear radiation was approved. Yes, exactly. Nuclear radiation. Italy is preparing for this. Here are some provisions: "the invitation to the population to close themselves at home, for no more than two days, the blocking of traffic and iodine prophylaxis for children, young adults and pregnant women. Between 200 and 1000 km, with related variability factors to the weather, indirect interventions are planned on the territory, checks on all agri-food chains and on imports from abroad". These are difficult times and, as you wrote earlier, we have to learn a lot and quickly from the underground church. We Western believers have "slept" for too many years. But I believe that God will also help us and prepare us.
@Knittinggrace I believe we believers in the West need to start learning from the underground house church movement in the persecuted countries. It strongly looks like that's going to be also our future.
@MaryMamuzich Yes, even here in Italy. Let's hope it's just a passing situation. God bless you.
I am a Christian saved by the grace of God.
My mission is to evangelize and disciple according to the "Great Commission" of Jesus Christ.
I am married to a woman of God who is a truly gift from God, and together we serve the Lord.
For over twenty years I have been engaged in preaching the gospel and teaching the Holy Scriptures in Italy.
