Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

God says, "Rise up..."
But sometimes we can't stand up on our own... 😢
...As the following verse says, "The Spirit entered into me and made me stand on my feet,"
...It is only when God's Holy Spirit dwells within us that we can stand on our own two feet and fulfill our mission❗️.
...In that era, Israel, having rebelled against God, lost wars with foreign countries and were forcibly taken abroad.
...Filled with despair...
God prayed and requested that He send someone who knew the Gospel to them❗️.
...Indeed, there are many people in this society right now who are overwhelmed with despair...
...If the Holy Spirit makes you stand up...God will fill you with miraculous power and use you❗️.
You will be able to move forward without being knocked down.

Shalom 😃
