TITLE: THERE IS NO FRIEND LIKE JESUS

SUNDAY, AUGUST 29TH, 2021

TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:17-20 KJV
17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

KEY VERSE: JOHN 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

My love includes all that you could possibly need when you need it, and in the way that you need it. My love means that I wish you to be truly happy in Me. My love means that I simply cannot fail to respond to the request you have made according to My will and prompted by Myself. My child, understand that I lighten up the whole of your life. I am the Light that beckons you forward. Do not, therefore, look back with either regret or self-pity. Only I can give you hope when you are very conscious of your weakness. Consolidate all the truths you have learned and make them part of you. Build upon the gains you have made.

What lies ahead is rightly veiled from you, but you know that I will take you into the future. You are assured that the end is complete union with Myself. Let that cheer you up and do not ever be afraid! My child, how I long for you to know even more of My love…You know that, in love, I watch over you constantly…a knowledge not possessed by so many of My children on earth. You must reflect upon that love over and over again.In My love you will come safely through more dark places even though, during the times of weakness, this may seem impossible for you. Meeting those difficult places with Me, your life increasingly becomes a place where My purposes in this world move towards fulfilment. Your prayers offered sometimes when feeling utterly defeated, but offered trustingly, are in the process of being wonderfully answered! My child, there is ideal preparation for answered prayer! That preparation is ensuring that your whole life increasingly reflects your trust in My love and My power over all creation.

Seeking the help or the healing of those known to you, do not always look for instant or superficial results…Know that your prayer releases My healing power. You must reflect upon that love over and over again. In My love you will come safely through many, more dark places even though, during times of weakness, this may seem impossible for you. Your life increasingly becomes a place where My purposes in this world move. Yes, it is following through your prayers! That power is loosening any hold which evil may have in a particular situation.
