[There is] one body and one Spirit–just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received– [There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all.

Ephesians 4:5-6 (Amplified)

As Noah, Daniel, Shadrach , Meschach,

Abednego, Esther,Stephen, Deborah, Moses

and all the mighty prophets and disciples saw

their civilization crumble and fall before their

very eyes, they did not crumble or fall. But

they all stood courageously for Jesus Christ

our risen and living Savior and Lord as we

must do. And as they refused to bow the knee

to anyone but Jesus Christ, they prayed, worshipped,

and victoriously stood firm in their faith and in their

love for their Savior even more. So must we. So must you.

So must the church. So must all true, authentic disciples

joyfully stand for Jesus Christ, our all in all. And as we

peacefully, prayerfully, and counter culturally do, we

will indeed be permeated with Holy Spirit infused

expectant hope, courage, love, mercy, and victorious

Christ given boldness and power to share with all that

salvation is only found in Jesus Christ our risen Lord!

[There is] one body and one Spirit–just as there is also

one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received– 

[There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God

and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign

over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all.

Amen and Amen
