CAST DOWN, NOT DESTROYED!

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” –Paul, to the church at Corinth, in II COR. 4:8, 9

Dear Readers and Guests here at “Fear Not the Sons of Anak”,

Those words of the Apostle Paul still reverberate in my mind since an event that happened here towards the beginning of last weekend. We (Shiran & I) have been away from attending to this blog for the most part of a couple of months now and on behalf of the both of us until last weekend, I am sorry to both God and man for allowing complacency on our part to get to us so much so we did not keep our promise to further the good news of the kingdom of God here every week or so for the past month or so, through our sharing of knowledge on the word of God in our hitherto long conversational posts. One thing I know about God is that if men and women fail to “cease the moment” and be used of HIM, the Lord will always raise up ‘soldiers in the sidelines’ (credit phrase to her sister). There always is a ‘remnant’. Question is, are you gonna let this knowledge elude you by pretending to be an ‘only one’ or are you gonna let HIM continue to count you, a part of that ‘remnant’. I’m posting here to ask for as many of you as read here to pray for 1) the cause of this blog to continue to be furthered here, and 2) for the blessing and guidance of HIS Holy Spirit on the part of the author/authors. 3) for our spiritual eyes to opened up so we may see that which we are up against, and 4) to bind all powers of evil as may be against the advancement of this blog in bringing more soldiers to Christ and in strengthening battle-beaten warriors. On my part, I will sure appreciate all prayer and God bless you in advance for this. In spite of what happened here, God speaks to us again through Paul in his letter to the Romans that: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to HIS purpose…Moroever whom HE did predestinate, them HE also called: and whom HE called, them HE also justified: and whom HE justified, them also HE glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? …Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us.” Romans 8:28-37. In our final series this weekend before we begin on something new, we shall be tackling the final bit of Paul’s instructions to the church of Ephesus in putting on the whole armour of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

In the meantime, I request you to bear with any and all template changes at this blog over the next week or so as we try to get one that is more representative of this blog and what it is intended for. God bless and be with you today and always.
