Dear Friend,

Did you know that God is in charge of everything? Sometimes we can feel fearful when we hear the news reports of the wickedness increasing in the world. I tell people to turn off the news and don’t listen to it! Speak the Word of God instead!

Think about it. God is in charge of everything and nothing that you heard in the news this month surprised God. In fact, God put Jesus in charge because Jesus paid the price for us to live in God’s family while here on earth. Jesus is Lord and He is the head of the church, which He calls His body:

And He is the head of the body, the church.
(Colossians 1:18 NKJV)

In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church! I want you to know that God is in charge and if you are His child then He has rescued you from the powers of darkness and brought you safely into His kingdom.

We have been rescued from our enemies
so we can serve God without fear,
in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live.
Luke 1:74,75 (NLT)

There is no need to fear because God is your Father and He is greater than all that is happening right now in this world. God loves you. Let me pray for you right now.

I thank You, Lord, that when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He will immediately rescue us from dark powers and bring us safely into the Kingdom of Your Son, whom You love.

You said, Lord, that no devil in hell would prevail against your church. You said, on this Rock You will build Your church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Hallelujah! We are so thankful today that You, Lord, are with us and on our side. Father, we thank You that we have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live. I ask you to cover my friend right now with your peace and your security. Let them be filled with trust that you are in charge of everything and you will take care of them and all that concerns them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lord bless you and keep you. Hallelujah!
