Reveal Fellowship

Nebuchadnezzar was a very proud man. He had great accomplishments, and he thought he was the ultimate power. Although he saw many of God's miracles, he did not repent. But God knew how to defeat his pride. He became insane and lived as an animal for seven years. At the end of that time, he realized that the Lord was King of Kings, and God of all Gods. The proud will be broken, but those that repent will be lifted up. Why should we be proud, when we can have a testimony of a greatness of God?

We are witnessing a society falling apart, and we all have concerns about the future. But Jesus said "Do not worry". How can we do that? Daniel knew the answer. He showed us that we must ask God; expect God to speak; take time to listen; thank God for his answers; and trust in his word. Then we will see, as Daniel did, that God is bringing in a kingdom which will last forever.

We will all die. There is a day appointed for us to be with Jesus forever. But although we all die, do we all live? How should we live until that day? This life is all about life with Jesus, life in Jesus, and life for Jesus. We must believe and trust in Jesus, listen to the Holy Spirit, and love the day of his return. In this way, we will truly live.

Jesus went to Calvary for us. Through his suffering, he won the victory over death. But Jesus calls us to our own deaths. It is a dying and a brokenness that comes from many painful experiences. He loves us enough to take us to a place where we would never go - a death to ourselves where we find life in him. When God shatters you, it's a blessing and a new beginning.

Hitler rose to power by propagating lies - and the Germans were persuaded and followed. Today we hear many voices that try to persuade us to abandon our hope in God and our reliance on God as the only source of truth. There are arguments about COVID-19, vaccinations, socialism, judicial decisions, racial prejudice, immigration, hate speech - and on and on. Do you analyze these statements? Do you know the truth? Are you standing firm?

Lewis and Clark set out to find the northwest Passage to the Pacific. When they got to the Rocky Mountains, their hopes were destroyed. In recent years many of us have faced serious disappointments. So how is your hope today? "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit." There is hope available for you today!
