Isaiah 64:7
7 No one calls on your name
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us
    and have given us over to our sins.

There is great power in united passion and vision.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed be His name.

Isaiah 64:1-4
64 Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
    that the mountains would tremble before you!
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake before you!
3 For when you did awesome things that we did not expect,
    you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Romans 10:13
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Hebrews 12:2
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Our God is worthy of praise and worship, and of our commitment and surrender to Him.

Romans 8:32
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 5:8
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Daniel 11:34
34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them.

God has blessed us in the baptism of power - baptism of the Holy Spirit. So that we can be a witness for Him. He gave all of Himself. The fullness of God in Jesus Christ is in me and with me. God is like the air that we breathe. Just like Jesus Christ is present everywhere. The Spirit of God goes even deeper. It is closer than the air that we breathe. Christ is the Word of God - living and powerful and the discerner of every thought and every heart. It is the glory of God to bless us as is the glory of man to receive it in faith.

Our thoughts, our actions and our attitudes matter most.

Have faith in God. Faith is the constant outlook of trust towards God whereby man depends solely on God. My faith is in Jesus Christ. He is the rock of my salvation, the anchor of my soul. God has blessed us in Christ.

God cannot lie; cannot sin; canmot deny Himself. He remains faithful.

Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:5
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;    never will I forsake you.”

With God all things are possible. Therefore, it is impossible for God to fail.

Malachi 3:6
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

Rest on the faithfulness of God and receive the undeserving grace of God.

Experience the truth of God.

Romans 10:13
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Desire more of God.
