Greetings! John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. It is by submitting ourselves to God's word that we become like Him. A desire to be like Him leads us toward perfection. There are times when we can be perfect in love and love like God loves. Submitting to love will force us to release, cast out, fear. Fear and love are opposites. Love has one enemy and that is fear. Love says fear must go. It cannot stay. There is no room for fear and love to dwell in the same dwelling. Love is a jealous God and will not share His dwelling with fear. Resist fear and it will flee from you. Draw near to love and it will come close to you. Now Hear This! All the promises of God are based on the quality He has built into us. God made man to be like He is in spirit and in image. Man is made in the image and the likeness of God. In Genesis 1:31 He called His creation very good. The promises God made to man are based on this very good quality. Man can love like God loves. That is powerful. When I look at the quality and potential of man and then look at the promises God made to him I conclude that God has some very great plans for people. His word He will do and His word we can do. It is God's dream, God's will, that we worship Him by performing His Word. God made us to be like He is. The promises of God are made to reveal the unseen forces that belong to our kingdom. These forces can be harnessed by faith and produce great things for God. God wants us to get excited. It is by faith and works that we put these promises into action. By works faith is made perfect. He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. He subjected us to hope that we might obtain the promises. Out of these promises will come a man that has the divine nature of God. He knows how God thinks and acts toward people. He can ask what he will because he only wants what God wants. We need to search His word for new meaning and learn these lessons from within. It is from the inside of us that proceeds the greatness that will help us to lift fallen man. It is by taking heed unto our self that we realize our greatness in God. His word describes us as Kings and Priests. That is no small thing. His word is not something we experiment with. His word we can do. Sincerely,
Albert Friend
