Life can get stressful and you may feel like you are surrounded by anger and rage. During these times, it is important to turn to Adonai and His Church, for the Lord has given His Church peace. As you gather together with other believers, you will find yourself becoming tranquil. Instead of the rage and havoc of war, you will have harmony and security. As you put your trust in the Almighty, He will fill your life with prosperity and surround you with safety. His salvation is the way that leads to peace and rest. And through Yeshua, His Son, you possess that salvation.

You now know that the Lord God is your guardian and He shall be praised. As you lift up your worship to the Most High, you are built up and edified. You are continually growing in grace and blessedness. Wisdom, holiness, and virtue characterize your life. You have entered into a journey and are continuing in the fear of the Lord. You reverence the Messiah and follow closely in His footsteps.

The Holy Spirit of God comforts and encourages you in your walk. He speaks words of refreshment and consolation to you. He will never stop doing this, but will multiply and increase those words. He is always calling you to come nearer to His side In His exhortation and instruction; you receive great strength and peace.
