It is so very important that God's covenant, born again children, consistently call upon the Lord. This we learn when we read Psalm 145 verse 18. As we call upon the Lord He will answer us, from the righteousness and truth of God's throne, where the Father and Son, reign. Sometimes it may take longer than we would hope for but our Lord is faithful and true and always answers our petitions. Hold fast to the word, the Holy Bible and believe that He is always faithful to His word and to those who obey His word. Remember, it took Abraham and Sarah, twenty five years before their promised son, Isaac, was born.

The Lord's Authority and Power

We read about the authority and power that was given to Jesus Christ, from Matthew chapter 28 verse 18. Who gave Jesus His complete power and authority? God the Father, gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, this immense power, over all of His creation. This occurred after Jesus rose again, from His death on the Cross, at Calvary. The Lord's power was given to Him over everything, on earth and in heaven, except for God the Father. Its chief purpose on earth, was revealed in verse 19. His children were to go and make disciples of people in all the nations of the world. They were to baptise all the believers, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
