He upholds all things by the power of his word. not the power of our organizations.
Do we want to be upheld???
We need to so our part to individually get BACK on the foundation standard of God’s word.
“He has exalted his word even above his own name.” —Psalm 132:8
“name it and claim it” works GREAT if we are naming and claiming what God has said or promised.
Jesus told the pharisees what made his ministry work... and why their prayers and ministries were a failure...
There are parts of religions everywhere that work in some fashion... because they in part, are parallel with what mankind intrinsically knows about things God has said.
IE: Karma works because the underlying principle was built into the original creation by God... what a man soweth that shall he also reap.
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.... it’s a fact. We can readily see we are in a season where “falling away” is in process... but as there is a “falling away” there also will be a season for gathering the “living stones” together.
No matter what we see going on, at the proper season (kairos), God’s promises will come to pass... When they say “where is the promise of His coming?” there comes that moment in future history, where HE shows up. the one that left us here will return for us at last.
Forever, oh Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. —Psalm 119:89.
Whoso keepeth His word, in him verily, is the love of God, perfected. —1 John 2:5
