Whispers of His Power – October 1

Exod. 33.15:  And he [Moses] said unto Him, If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

Are you dreading something that the month may hold?  There is no need to dread it if you are carried up to it.  Pray the prayer that Moses prayed, and you will hear your Lord say to you what he said to Moses (Exod. 33.14), My Presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

The disciples were full of fear when Jesus himself came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you (John 20.19).  He will stand in the midst of this month, and of each day and each hour of the month, and say to you,

‘Peace’

oooOOOooo
