Faith, blessings and love from The Living Word,

As we enter into the upcoming Feasts, let us bow our heads and our hearts before the Lord. He is stirring up the living hope within us and giving us His grace to boldly fulfill our part as members of the Body of Christ.

Stand firm as sons of God, full of encouragement and thankfulness, as we see the day of the Lord approaching. With steadfast faith we echo the cry of Joel.

Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near.  Joel 2:1

And the Lord utters His voice before His army; surely His camp is very great, for strong is he who carries out His Word. The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, and who can endure it? “Yet, even now,” declares the Lord, “Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness, and relenting of evil. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a grain offering and libation for the Lord your God? Blow a trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly.  Joel 2:11-15

In all love, prayer, and thanksgiving to all the saints in Christ,
