DEAREST BRETHREN,
THANKYOU ALL FOR PRAYING TONIGHT!
I LOVE YOU AND THE LORD LOVES YOU!!!
GODSPEED AND GODBLESS!

Ps 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek."
9 Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
(NKJV)


"In thy light shall we see light."
- Psalm 36:9



No lips can tell the love of Christ to the heart till Jesus himself shall
speak within. Descriptions all fall flat and tame unless the Holy Ghost
fills them with life and power; till our Immanuel reveals himself within,
the soul sees him not. If you would see the sun, would you gather together
the common means of illumination, and seek in that way to behold the orb
of day? No, the wise man knoweth that the sun must reveal itself, and only
by its own blaze can that mighty lamp be seen. It is so with Christ.
"Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona:" said he to Peter, "for flesh and blood
hath not revealed this unto thee." Purify flesh and blood by any
educational process you may select, elevate mental faculties to the
highest degree of intellectual power, yet none of these can reveal Christ.
The Spirit of God must come with power, and overshadow the man with his
wings, and then in that mystic holy of holies the Lord Jesus must display
himself to the sanctified eye, as he doth not unto the purblind sons of
men. Christ must be his own mirror. The great mass of this blear-eyed
world can see nothing of the ineffable glories of Immanuel. He stands
before them without form or comeliness, a root out of a dry ground,
rejected by the vain and despised by the proud. Only where the Spirit has
touched the eye with eye-salve, quickened the heart with divine life, and
educated the soul to a heavenly taste, only there is he understood. "To
you that believe he is precious"; to you he is the chief corner-stone, the
Rock of your salvation, your all in all; but to others he is "a stone of
stumbling and a rock of offence." Happy are those to whom our Lord
manifests himself, for his promise to such is that he will make his abode
with them.
O Jesus, our Lord, our heart is open, come in, and go out no more for
ever.
Show thyself to us now! Favour us with a glimpse of thine all-conquering
charms.


C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI,SOLI,SOLI DEO GLORIA!
GODSPEED AND GODBLESS!
