An amazing surprise, a wave of excitement and delight fill our hearts

as we find in God’s word that we are elected and called to be in His

Kingdom. We find out how good and how kind He is this King of kings and

Lord of lords Who adds us to His people, the Church His community of the

King of Israel. We find a line stretching all the way back to Abel, Seth,

Noah and Abraham. We find we are heirs with Jesus Christ Who Is the

Creator, Savior and Ruler of all. We find it amazing that we are indeed

included!

We find out that we can share this experience with others near and far,

past, present and future.

“The seventy returned with joy,saying, ‘Lord, in your name even the

demons submit to us !’ he said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven

like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes

and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt

you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you,

but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’”

(Luke 10: 17-20).

HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVER!

For when you were slaves of sin,

you were free in regard to righteousness.

What fruit did you have then in the things

of which you are now ashamed?

For the end of those things is death.

But now having been set free from sin,

and having become slaves of God, you

have your fruit to holiness, and the end,

everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the

gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus

our Lord.
