Greetings<\/strong>
\nThe Lord’s grace and peace to you all,
\nIt is 17\/2\/19 @ 5.45am in a hotel and awoken by a fire alarm going off. After going around in a circle a few times my head settled down enough to put on some clothes and make our way to the assembly point. A lady asked “what is all the noise about\u201d, we said it was the fire alarm going off and so she went back into her room.
\nAt the assembly point we were shocked to find only a handful of people out of about 250 people in the hotel as they never responded to the warning and sadly a great many today aren’t responding to the warning. Our God is indeed a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29.
\nHe has graciously given His Son to be the fire chief of our salvation; the cross is the assembly point where no smoke or flames can touch us, for He truly is the fountain of life. We pray that many will respond to the Lord this Easter. To God be the glory through His Son by the blessed Holy Spirit.
\nMuch love in the Glorious Trinity, Mick.<\/p>\n

\nFacing Life\u2019s Difficulties<\/strong>
\nThank God that we have the promise from the scriptures in the latter part of Hebrews 13 verse 5 \u201cNot at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never\u201d(MKJV). This is a tremendous promise as we face each day life\u2019s difficulties. At this present time there are so many we know personally facing major health issues. We of course commit them to our dear Lord\u2019s care and pray that His will be done. There is another promise that we can hold onto found in Romans 8 verse 28 \u201c And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose\u201d(MKJV). Are all things good? Of course not, but all things in Him can be worked for our good and that is our hope.
\nWith every blessing in Christ. Roy.<\/p>\n

Anguish of Jesus<\/strong>
\nLuke 22:41-44 KJV \u2013 \u2018And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, \u201cFather, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done\u201d. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground\u2019. – Luke tells us of the anguish of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus was subservient to the Father , but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t fully God as well as fully man. I’m subservient to my manager at work and I do what she tells me to do. Although I’m subservient to her I’m also human like she is, her being my manager doesn’t change our essence, and we\u2019re both human. In the same way, Jesus being subservient to the Father doesn’t change their essence, they are both God. Father sent an angel to comfort and strengthen Jesus to help him face the ordeal ahead. Luke, being a physician would most probably have been interested in Jesus sweating blood. Sweating blood is a very real condition called Hematidrosis. Hematidrosis is a condition in which capillary blood vessels that feed the sweat glands rupture, causing them to exude blood, occurring under conditions of extreme physical or emotional stress. The stress Jesus felt in the garden is beyond our comprehension. The fall of mankind began in a garden and part of our redemption also featured a garden. The King took our punishment and deserves our love, thanks and worship. Every blessing, Richard.<\/p>\n

We thank you for your continued encouragement and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
