Those who do God’s work should never worry about the noise made by the devil and his demons, meant to fill us with fear and stop the work commissioned to us by Christ. The Lord has promised us victory: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ (Isaiah 41:10). Nothing will prevent us from acting!

Everywhere, there are descendants of Abraham according to the flesh remnants of Israelites scattered throughout the world due to persecutions and wars that rose against Israel. These survivors, like the salt of the earth, have preserved the life and customs of their people: “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. (Matthew 5:13).

God’s hand is extended to seek out the remnants of His people across the planet. The Lord wants to see the patriarchs rejoice in the fulfillment of His promises. When we preach the Gospel, we allow those who have strayed to return to Christ and, consequently, to the Kingdom of God. We also snatch them from eternal fire (Jude 1:23). However, it is important to emphasize that we need the intercession of the Church in order to fulfill our calling.

God is redeeming those who have become worthy to dwell in Heaven because they believe in the work accomplished by Jesus through His death on the cross. Christ took upon Himself our sins and our pains (Isaiah 53:4–5), leading us to experience the new birth. We must not only speak of the wonders He performed in the past, but also invite everyone to take part in those same works today, as many are being saved.

When we gather as the Church, we pray for sinners and the sick, and the power of Heaven works in our midst. Then more people believe in Jesus and desire to be freed from the superstitions that bind them to the enemy and prevent them from being healed of diseases and released to take the most important step: being forgiven of their sins and saved from eternal death. Those who believe in Jesus find life and soon show a heavenly glow on their faces.

In every service we render to the Lord, He heals the sick, frees the captives, and gives life to those who were dying without Christ. Thus, there is joy among God’s people, for they are freed from their afflictions. With Jesus, the Truth sets us free, for He is the Truth Himself. There is no way for the devil to keep people bound by fear and sadness. Through Jesus, all are saved to live fully and happily.

No matter where you are, the power of Heaven will reach you when your prayers are made to the Father in the Name of the Son. Surrender to the Savior now, be saved by Him, and walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).

In Christ, with love,
