Brothers of MOI - I am blessed beyond words when I see you guys coming in each Wednesday! When I woke up this morning I had a new song in my heart. As my feet hit the floor the first words out of my mouth were "THE BATTLE IS ON". As I laid my hands on my wife's head to pray over her before leaving the last words from my mouth were I'm going to battle... her words were I'm praying with you.
Thank you Pastor Craig for sharing Habakkuk 3 with us. Habakkuk shows the proper response of man under the sovereign power of God. Interesting note: Benjamin Franklin - who was not a Christian, though he had great respect for the Bible - used Habakkuk 3:17-19 to confound a group of sophisticated, cultured despisers of the Bible. When he was in Paris he heard this group mocking the Bible, and mocking Franklin for his admiration of it. One evening he came among them and said that he had a manuscript containing an ancient poem, that he was quite impressed by the poem and he wanted to read it to them. When he read Habakkuk 3:17-19, his listeners received it with praise and admiration - “What a magnificent poem!” they said, and wanted to know where they could get copies. Franklin told them to just look in Habakkuk chapter 3.
Every week I am blessed beyond words as I watch the Holy Spirit move in our midst. It's an honor and a privilege to lead you guys in worship each week. Truly the battle is on and the victory is ours through Christ Jesus. I pray for each one of you today that God would continue to raise you up as intercessors praying daily for one another and praying for the Santana's (Rich, his wife Deanna, his daughter Marissa and her boyfriend Matt) as they journey through the loss of their loved one.
In His love - Gregg
