Hello sisters in the Lord!
I hope this finds you pressing on by faith! And worshipping God in spirit and in truth!
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:23-24
Truth...that rock solid thing we can trust in completely from the God who made everything! Outside of it is lies and fables and falsehoods.
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 4:4
In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isaiah 59:13-14
Let us cling to the truth of His Word sisters!
Amazing how big the pumpkin leaves can get! Good blessings on the way...
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matthew 13:8

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1 Corinthians 6:7
That's good to keep in mind isn't it...taking wrong or any kind of thing against us. We are to be lowly and poor in spirit and long suffering. We know our Saviour had much against Him including His disciples forsaking Him. But the Father was with Him!
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
John 16:32
With so few saints in these last days we may feel the same...but let us press on no matter what, being faithful to the Lord, and one day we will be with Him forever if we endure! We've got good works to occupy in and trials to overcome before then!
Let us have godly love...
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1 Corinthians 13:7
I was pondering how God wants those who seek Him and love Him willingly. We know He doesn't force anyone. Yes we can't do anything good without Him but we have a free will and a choice to make to serve Him or not. But that is a beautiful thing and we know it is a covenant. We draw near to God and He draws near to us.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
John 14:23-24
We know God's love is not unconditional.
Here's the next scripture reading...
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.Luke 8:1-3
That's interesting to think about...quite a few women travelling with Jesus on His preaching trips. While we don't see any evidence of them being involved in the actual gospel work we can see that they served Jesus, and no doubt also His twelve disciples, with their possessions. It sounds like the men would have been very well looked after! Good works they did!
Keep striving on by faith sister soldiers!
Grace, mercy, and peace in Christ,
Sister Chayil
