BERTIE LEDGER-ADVANCE OCTOBER 11,20171 B5 The fabric of Bertie County since 1832 Faith He is there... The Lord is always with us. Whatever is going on around us, He IS there. The Word of God says in Deu teronomy 31:6, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Sometimes it may feel like we cire all alone and nobody seems to care, but God is there all along. Like in the book of Luke when Jesus and the disciples were in a boat in a storm. Luke 8:22-25 says, “Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His dis ciples. And said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake”. And they launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing! Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.” "This is the day the Lord has made." -PSAiM 1 18:24 JASON JOHNSON We look at this story in scrip ture and see that Jesus was there for His disciples. He was there when they got in the boat. He was there when they were sailing. He was there when the storm was raging, and He was there when they reached the other side. So Jesus was there when ev erything was going great and He was also there when things were really rough. You may be going through a rough time, and it may seem like nobody’s there. It may even feel like when you do pray your prayers just fall to the ground and no one’s lis tening. The storm may be rag ing and you feel like your boat is about to sink. I want to tell you be of good courage. He’s in the boat with you! He does hear you. He is listening! I’m reminded of the story in Daniel chapter 3 where the king had the three Hebrew boys thrown into the fiery furnace and when he looked in saw four men up walking around. The king said in verse 25, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” The Lord was with them even in the fire. The Word says in verse 27 that they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Thank God He is there for us! Even when the storm is raging or we have to go through the fire. He is there. The devil may have meant it for evil but God can turn it around for good. Remember be of good courage He will never leave you nor will He ever forsake you. HE IS WITH YOU! The Rev. Jason Johnson is Pas tor of Freedom Fellowship of Ber tie. He can be reached via email at preachthecrossjj@gmail.com. October nights! Recently I was seeking the Lord about reaching out in my community and in my region to share the spirit of revival that we have been walking through for months now. The Lord impressed upon my heart that in this season of the year there is a change and a shift in the atmosphere as we face the cooler nights and ar rival of the autum season. Fresh dug peanuts await harvest and the smell of something fresh is in the air. I inquired of the Lord about a shift in the spiritual at mosphere. 1 sensed His direc tion upon my life to lead our ministry in a season of revival and renewal services called “October Nights!” On Sunday evenings in October beginning on the 15 we will host a revival // Be still and know that I am God." -PSAIM 46:10 DR. WALLACE PHILLIPS service at 6 p.m. inviting other ministers to participate in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon us as we gather to wor ship and receive from Him. I am believing that people’s lives will be touched and transformed by God’s power. I’m believing that the presence of God will be so real and that young people will be drawn to His love and power like never before; a shift in the THE ILLUSTRATED BIBLE |rgj]g££ May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; maj He not leave us or forsake us, that He may incline our hearts to Himself to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. imGS8:57,58 Statue of King Solomon, Escoriai, Spain TRIVIA by Wilson Casey © 2017 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
