Christ Is All We Need

Bishop Forrest Ray Nance, Jr April 12 2020

Philippians 4:1-21 On this Resurrection Sunday let us look to Christ as the answer to life’s problems. I ask you to mediate on the bullet comments and verses. I pray that we will be able to worship and fellowship together real soon. God will continue to bless you and know that I miss and love you all.    If you feel like you want to quit—-vs 1  When is looks like divisions in Christ—-vs 2-3 Don’t let depression ride—–v4 Give gentle words of encouragement—–v5 Don’t be anxious——v6 Be prayerful for everything—-6 Be thankful for anything—6 Let the peace of God work in you—–v7 Reflect on good things—-v8 Remember Christ is your substance—-v9-10 Christ is our satisfaction—-v11-12 Christ is our strength—-v13 Christ is our sustainer—-v14-21   I pray as you read and study this you will be encouraged to stand fast and be unmovable in Christ. The world has been given a wake-up call and the saints of the living God must respond in a Christ like manner.   God bless each of you,
Bishop Nance

Letter of Encouragement Faith COVID-19

Letter of Encouragement

Faith Temple and whoever read this letter,

As COVID-19 is descending upon this world, we have to remember that our God is still all-powerful and can resolve this issue. Let us begin to live up to being called by His name by being humble, praying, seeking, and turning from wicked ways. Because we know that our God is faithful to his word.

2 Chronicles 7:14, “If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

The world is under great fear and anxiety and we as members of the body of Christ must stay calm and give guidance. Fear and anxiety are tormenting crippling emotions that can plague the soul to its core. Remember Isaiah 41:10-16 he again promises if we ever feel abandoned or alone: God promises you His presence; weak or helpless: God promises you His strength; vulnerable: God promises His protection; and ill-equipped: God promises to make you into His powerful instrument: His word assures us of hope.  So let us rejoice and receive His promises today and not be hobbled by fear and anxiety.

The danger in seeking relief from fear and anxiety is our tendency to seek the peace itself, rather than the Lord Jesus, the source of peace, (John 14:27). Seek and wait upon Him, and cast your burdens upon Him and inexplicably, your fear and anxiety will dissipate. Then you will find yourself alone with the Savior, the Prince of Peace.

Please share and encourage others.

A Servant to Serve, Bishop Nance
