"For all those things has my hand made, and all those things have been, said the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2
In this world many go through pain, suffering and injustice; their spirit is downcast, humiliated and broken and they are sinking to the bottom of the pit. The sorrowful life that they lead causes them to look up and shout for help. It is then that they see God's tender gaze and His Hands outstretched, ready to rescue them.
Then, after showing them His love and pulling them out of their agony, He only requires one thing from them: to keep His Word and His Discipline. If they refuse to abide by this obedience then God will no longer protect their lives.

God's Dwelling Place
Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where then is a house you could build for me? And where is a place that I may rest?" Isaiah 66:1
The Holy Spirit came to guide us and also to be our necessary strength during tribulation. When we are filled with the Spirit of Jesus, we have the capacity to face any situation that arises.
We were built to be His dwelling place: He wants to walk with our feet, hear with our ears and speak to and console people with our mouth.
This verse (besides revealing the GREATNESS OF GOD), explains that we are His feet here on Earth; to reach those who are lost through their vices and sin.

Wedding Invitation
"May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you and your children." Psalm 115:14
These were the words we chose for our wedding invitation. I knew that God was guiding my life, as He had asked just that. At the time I didn't realise what He was trying to show me.
After many years I found the invitation in a drawer and then the voice of the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my heart:
"I will unite you both so that you may have many spiritual children, with My Blessing."

Wonders
"Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which you have done; and your thoughts toward us; there is none to compare to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count." Psalm 40:5
Facts that display the magnitude of my King Jesus...

Answer
"I will climb to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how He will answer my complaint." Habakkuk 2:1
Depositing all of our trust in our Fortress - which is the Lord Jesus; on guard, so that neither doubt nor a word will distinguish it.
Faith: the channel that leads us to God.
When we act it then the Holy Spirit will guide us and give us the answer to our prayers.

The Cloud
"Therefore, seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses around us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1
What we saw on Wednesday, throughout Brazil, was a great cloud of testimonies from people who believe in the Living God. For so many others, it was an opportunity to find relief and peace for the soul.

Therefore, we accept the proposal of our Lord Jesus: to enjoy a better life in His presence; both today and forever.

Believe or Run Away
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed; he who believes in it will not be disturbed." Isaiah 28:16
When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, and he obeyed, the way to please Him was revealed to the world. It isn't enough to know the Word or His will only. We must act the faith that has been entrusted to us. When we trust in Him and allow Him to direct our lives, we manifest an intelligent faith. Abraham put his feelings aside - he didn't run - he acted his faith.
