Right now, fires are raging near our church building...
“I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
And through the rivers,
They shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
You shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the Lord, your God.”
Isaiah 43:1-3
Several of our church families have been told to evacuate their homes. Their beloved abodes where they have been raising children, making multitudes of memories, getting their souls healed up, and building marriages in the love of Jesus.
Are they concerned? Yes, most definitely. The fire has been in sight for the past two days. The air quality is so poor that many have left their homes already for cleaner skies. Nevertheless, they are in good spirits. As one mom told me, “We always have Jesus and He is always enough. He is walking us through this fire.”
Doesn’t it seem like stuff is accelerating? You know. Non-stop major happenings? We need to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit in all His supernatural giftings and kick any remnant of fear to the curb. I don’t think we have time to play around anymore or just let wasted days go by. God is on the move as hell seems to be bearing down.
But, He is greater still. What comfort. What power. He is with us every step of the way and He tells us we are His own.
