May is fast approaching and we will be hosting our 4th Annual Family Freedom Walk on Saturday, May 12th. YOU can help in two ways.
ONE. WALK - call guest services (732.350.1187) to obtain a walk package, solicit sponsors and come to the walk.
TWO. Sponsor Victory Call for the walk. We are having a friendly competition between the 2 groups of devotional readers (Freedom Fighters and Victory Call). Go to Family Freedom Walk Support . Be sure to designate your gift to FFW: VC
Our goal is to raise more funds by the Victory Call team than the men raise for the Freedom Fighter's team. Last year Victory Call subscribers raised $5,350.00 and Freedom Fighter’s subscribers raised $100.00. Victory Call WON, by ALOT! In reality, the Addiction Recovery ministries won because together we raised $43,136.00!!
Come join in the fun. Please?
As I have been reading through the book of Ezekiel the last few weeks, this phrase has jumped off the page over and over: "... know that I am the LORD." It appears in various contexts 72 times in the book, 72 times!! Sometimes God is saying that "they will know that I am the LORD" referring to other nations, enemies of Israel. He desired to be known among the nations, and still does. One day..."at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10-11. One day, people from every tribe and tongue and nation will declare His glory. "And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation," Revelation 14:6.
Not only does God make Himself known to the nations, He makes Himself known to us, personally. "Then you will know that I am the Lord" Ez. 25:5, 7. God wants to be known. AND HE IS KNOWABLE. "And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." Cross references: A. John 17:3 : [1 John 5:20]B. John 17:3 : Hos. 2:20; 6:3; 2 Pet. 1:2, 3C. John 17:3 : John 5:44D. John 17:3 : 1 Thess. 1:9; 1 John 5:20; [Jer. 10:10]E. John 17:3 : See John 3:17 John 17:3; and "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord" 1 Corinthians 1:9.
How do we grow in our knowledge of God? Spend time with Him, in His Word and in prayer. As with all our relationships, the depth and richness of intimacy requires time and attention. Let us not neglect in attitude or action ... He who may be known.
Blessings, Diane
