As You launch, remember. HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS
I want to encourage each of our Squad members to remember how very much the Father loves and adores you. He has such wonderful plans for you , and ” you are His beautiful masterpieces created in Christ Jesus to do good works prepared in advance for you to do “(Eph 2: 10). He has called you to these next 11 months, set apart for Him and He will be with you every step of the way.
You are CALLED, SET APART, APPOINTED, GIVEN THE WORDS, ACCOMPANIED BY GOD HIMSELF…THIS IS FOR YOU…
“The word of the Lord came to me.’before you were in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart: I appointed you to the nations’”
You may feel like Jeremiah when he heard these words, and you may be saying like him,
” Ah Sovereign Lord, I don’t know how to speak, I am only a child. But the Lord said to me(and you),”Do not say I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to say whatever I put in your mouth. Do not be afraid of them, for I go with you and will rescue you , “says the Lord.
Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, ‘Now I have put my words in your mouth. See today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant. ..Get yourself ready!Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar, a bronze wall…’” Jeremiah 1 : 3-10, 17,18
This is all you need…the word which is very near to you…
It is His desire that all be saved. The righteousness that is by faith says, “The word is near you,it is in your mouth and in your heart that is the word of faith we are proclaiming. That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.’ The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call upon Him-for anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved. How the can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in one they have not heard? AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM? AND HOW CAN THEY PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT. As it is written,’How beautiful are the feet of those who bring GOOD NEWS!’…FAITH COMES FROM HEARING, HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.” ROMANS 10:1,8-18
This text is from Spurgeon’s devotional”Morning and Evening”, from a few days ago
“Fear not to go out…for I will make you a great nation, I will go down with you , and I will bring you back.” Gen 463,4
Jacob must have shuttered at the thought of leaving the land of his father’s sojourning, and dwell among heathen strangers…It would be a new scene and likely a trying one, yet it was appointed for him, and therefore(like YOU) he resolved to go.Let us exercise Jacob’s confidence.”Fear not” is the Lord’s command and His divine encouragement to those at His bidding ARE LAUNCHING OUT UPON THE SEAS. His divine presence with us and preservation forbid us so much as one unbelieving fear. Without God we should fear to move; but when He bids us to go, it would be dangerous to tarry…Reader (Racer), go forward, and fear not.”
Let God’s love compel you and you will find yourself being His hands, eyes, feet, and mouth….There is no greater privilege and mission.
We are praying for each of you …You ARE READY!!! He is with you…God bless you as you GO !!
