Return to the Altar

A Call to the Church

My heart is grieved. It has become painfully rare to find a church today that still hosts regular corporate prayer. The prayer meeting—once the heartbeat of revival, the furnace of intimacy with God—has all but vanished in this age of programs and production. When I brought this burden before the Lord and asked Him why, this is what He gave me:

Church of the Living God,
return to the altar of prayer.
You have polished your buildings but left your knees clean.
You host conferences without consecration,
and you wonder why the fire does not fall.

You say, “We are growing,”
but you are swelling with pride, not revival.
You measure success by attendance, not obedience.
You have lost your first love.

“If My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
—2 Chronicles 7:14 (NASB)

But you have not humbled yourselves.
You have sought My hand, not My face.
You have turned to platforms, not prayer closets.
You organize your Sundays but neglect the secret place.

Break you jar before the Lord
Before the healing comes, the jar must break. This is where revival begins—on our faces, with nothing held back.

Did Stephen stand firm as stones crushed his body,
gazing into heaven with blood on his face,
just so we could stay silent in a world desperate for truth?

Did John, exiled to Patmos for the Word of God and the testimony of Yeshua,
receive visions of glory and judgment,
so we could scroll endlessly and call it devotion?

Did the early Church gather in catacombs,
risking imprisonment and death,
just so we could cancel prayer night for game night?

Did Peter walk away from everything—his trade, his safety, his pride—
so we could build churches without altars?

Did Mary break her alabaster jar and pour it all out at Yeshua’s feet,
so we could tip God with leftovers and guard our calendars from inconvenience?

Did Paul endure lashes, mobs, betrayals, shipwrecks, and sleepless nights,
just so we could spend our lives in comfort,
never weeping over sin, never groaning for souls, never truly desperate for God?

Did Yeshua leave the glory of heaven,
wrap Himself in frail flesh, suffer temptation, betrayal, rejection—
then carry a Roman cross to Golgotha,
so we could nod politely at a sermon and leave untouched?

She broke her jar before the Lord—her tears, her pride, her past spilled out in surrender. This is where healing begins: at the feet of Yeshua, with nothing held back.

The price of your redemption was blood.
The way of the Kingdom is a narrow road.
The call to follow Him was never comfortable—but it was always worth it.

The Son of God gave everything.
The apostles lived and died in prayer and power.
The Holy Spirit fell on a praying Church.
So why are you asleep?

Where is your grief over the silence in the prayer room?
Where is the travail for the lost, the hunger for His glory?
Where are the nights of groaning, the upper rooms,
the sound of saints knocking on heaven’s door?

Prostrate before the altar, they seek His face, not His hand—surrendered in a lifestyle of prayer and worship.

You forget—but Heaven remembers:
There was a time when churches filled the week with prayer.
When mothers wept for prodigals, and fathers cried out for cities.
When children fell on their faces, and revival fire swept the land.
You traded it for coffee bars and branding kits.

This is your correction: Return.

Return to the altar.
Return to unity.
Return to the sound of a praying Church.

It begins not with the masses, but with the few.
God has always moved through a remnant.
He is holy. He is just. He is jealous for His Bride.
He will not share His glory with another.

Sound the Shofar Today
A holy cry rises at sunset—the shofar sounds, declaring to heaven and earth: this world belongs to the Lord.

The time is now.
Call the elders. Light the lamps.
Gather in His name and wait for the wind.

The fire will fall where there is hunger.
The rain will pour where there is repentance.
The glory will dwell where there is unity.

He who has ears to hear,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the Church.

PS

Some will say, “We’ve replaced prayer meetings with small groups. We still pray—just differently.” But let’s be honest: ten rushed minutes at the end of a discussion isn’t a prayer meeting. It’s not the sound of saints groaning for souls, or elders weeping for their city. It’s not the upper room. It’s not the altar.

Prayer was never meant to be an add-on. It was the furnace.
The early Church didn’t fit prayer in—they built everything around it.

Did Pentecost fall after snacks and small talk?
Or did it fall on a room filled with desperate hearts, crying out as one?

We haven’t replaced prayer—we’ve removed it. And the result is a Church with clean programs but cold fire.

If we’ve let the altar go cold, then let us be honest—and let us rebuild it.
Not with convenience. But with fire.

Un Llamado a la Iglesia

Mi corazón está afligido. Se ha vuelto dolorosamente raro encontrar hoy una iglesia que aún tenga reuniones de oración corporativa con regularidad. La reunión de oración—que alguna vez fue el latido del avivamiento, el horno de la intimidad con Dios—ha desaparecido casi por completo en esta era de programas y producción. Cuando llevé esta carga ante el Señor y le pregunté por qué, esto fue lo que me mostró:

Iglesia del Dios Viviente,
vuelve al altar de la oración.
Has pulido tus edificios pero dejado limpias tus rodillas.
Organizas conferencias sin consagración,
y te preguntas por qué no cae el fuego.

Dices: “Estamos creciendo,”
pero estás hinchada de orgullo, no de avivamiento.
Mides el éxito por la asistencia, no por la obediencia.
Has perdido tu primer amor.

“Si se humilla Mi pueblo sobre el cual es invocado Mi Nombre, y oran, y buscan Mi rostro, y se arrepienten de su mal camino, entonces Yo oiré desde los cielos, perdonaré su pecado y sanaré su tierra.”
—2 Crónicas 7:14 (NBLA)

Pero no se han humillado.
Han buscado Mi mano, no Mi rostro.
Han corrido a las plataformas, no a los aposentos de oración.
Organizan sus domingos pero descuidan el lugar secreto.

Rompe tu vaso delante del Señor.
Antes de que venga la sanidad, el vaso debe romperse. Aquí comienza el avivamiento—de rodillas, sin reservas.

¿Acaso Esteban se mantuvo firme mientras las piedras trituraban su cuerpo,
mirando al cielo con sangre en el rostro,
solo para que nosotros guardemos silencio en un mundo desesperado por la verdad?

¿Acaso Juan, exiliado en Patmos por la Palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Yeshúa,
recibió visiones de gloria y juicio,
solo para que nosotros deslicemos la pantalla infinitamente y lo llamemos devoción?

¿Acaso la Iglesia primitiva se reunía en catacumbas,
arriesgando prisión y muerte,
solo para que hoy cancelemos la noche de oración por una noche de juegos?

¿Acaso Pedro dejó todo—su oficio, su seguridad, su orgullo—
para que nosotros construyamos iglesias sin altares?

¿Acaso María rompió su vaso de alabastro y lo derramó todo a los pies de Yeshúa,
para que nosotros le demos a Dios las sobras y cuidemos nuestro calendario de molestias?

¿Acaso Pablo soportó azotes, turbas, traiciones, naufragios y noches sin dormir,
solo para que vivamos cómodamente,
sin llorar por el pecado, sin gemir por las almas, sin estar verdaderamente desesperados por Dios?

¿Acaso Yeshúa dejó la gloria del cielo,
se envolvió en carne frágil, sufrió tentación, traición y rechazo—
y luego cargó una cruz romana hasta el Gólgota,
para que nosotros asentemos con cortesía durante un sermón y salgamos sin ser tocados?

Ella rompió su vaso delante del Señor—sus lágrimas, su orgullo, su pasado fueron derramados en rendición.
Allí comienza la sanidad: a los pies de Yeshúa, sin reservas.
El precio de tu redención fue sangre.
El camino del Reino es angosto.
El llamado a seguirle nunca fue cómodo—pero siempre fue digno.

El Hijo de Dios lo dio todo.
Los apóstoles vivieron y murieron en oración y poder.
El Espíritu Santo descendió sobre una Iglesia que oraba.
Entonces, ¿por qué duermes?

¿Dónde está tu dolor por el silencio en la sala de oración?
¿Dónde está el gemido por los perdidos, el hambre por Su gloria?
¿Dónde están las noches de clamor, los aposentos altos,
el sonido de los santos golpeando las puertas del cielo?

Postrados ante el altar, buscan Su rostro, no Su mano—rendidos en un estilo de vida de oración y adoración.
Tú lo has olvidado—pero el Cielo recuerda:
Hubo un tiempo en que las iglesias llenaban la semana con oración.
Cuando las madres lloraban por sus pródigos, y los padres clamaban por sus ciudades.
Cuando los niños caían sobre sus rostros, y el fuego del avivamiento barría la tierra.
Lo cambiaste por cafeterías y kits de marca.

Esta es tu corrección: Regresa.

Vuelve al altar.
Vuelve a la unidad.
Vuelve al sonido de una Iglesia que ora.

No comienza con las multitudes, sino con los pocos.
Dios siempre ha obrado a través de un remanente.
Él es santo. Él es justo. Él es celoso por Su Novia.
No compartirá Su gloria con nadie.

Toca el Shofar Hoy.
Un clamor santo se eleva al atardecer—el shofar suena, declarando al cielo y a la tierra: este mundo pertenece al Señor.
El tiempo es ahora.
Llamen a los ancianos. Enciendan las lámparas.
Reúnanse en Su Nombre y esperen el viento.

El fuego caerá donde hay hambre.
La lluvia caerá donde hay arrepentimiento.
La gloria habitará donde hay unidad.

El que tenga oídos para oír,
que oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a la Iglesia.

PD

Los grupos pequeños son valiosos. Fomentan relaciones, animan la rendición de cuentas y ofrecen compañerismo. Pero no pretendamos que diez minutos apresurados de oración al final de un estudio bíblico pueden reemplazar lo que la Iglesia primitiva practicaba día y noche.

La oración no era un complemento. Era el motor.

“Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oración…”
—Hechos 1:14 (NBLA)

¿Cayó Pentecostés en un grupo pequeño donde alguien cerró en oración después del refrigerio?

No—cayó en una sala llena de corazones desesperados, clamando con una sola voz, esperando la promesa del Padre.

No hemos reemplazado las reuniones de oración—las hemos eliminado.

Y ahora vemos el fruto: púlpitos sin poder, corazones apáticos, y una Iglesia cómoda sin el fuego.

El avivamiento nunca ha venido de una conversación. Viene de la desesperación.

Así que no nos conformemos con sustitutos casuales.

Volvamos al altar, no por conveniencia—sino por comunión con Dios.

Set Apart, Not Above

The Coffee Cup Conundrum

Imagine walking into a church fellowship hall with a coffee cup labeled “Repent and Be Transformed.” You grab a seat, but people mysteriously drift to the other side of the room. You didn’t say a word—but somehow, your cup did.

That’s what it often feels like for New Testament prophets and apostles. It’s not that they want to be separate. It’s just… they carry something that convicts, and sometimes even a silent presence makes others uncomfortable.

The Call That Separates You

If you’re walking in a prophetic or apostolic call, you may feel both deeply connected to God and strangely disconnected from His people. That tension isn’t a flaw in you—or them. It’s the nature of the calling.

In the New Testament Church, apostles and prophets were foundational (Ephesians 2:20), but they were never common. They were sent, not stationed. And that sending often involved solitude, resistance, and spiritual weight that few understood.

1. Apostolic Ministry: Sent, Not Settled

Apostles like Paul lived on the move, misunderstood by outsiders and even criticized by believers. “To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty… we have become as the scum of the world” (1 Corinthians 4:11–13, NASB).

The apostolic isn’t glamorous—it’s sacrificial. Apostles break ground others don’t even realize needs breaking. And when you’re carrying a spiritual bulldozer into a potluck, don’t be surprised if no one saves you a seat.

2. Prophetic Ministry: Loved and Avoided

True prophets don’t just comfort—they confront. Agabus predicted famine (Acts 11:28). John called out false teachers. Paul corrected Peter publicly (Galatians 2:11). Prophets reveal what many would rather ignore.

Their calling often feels like wearing spiritual cologne labeled “Conviction #9.” No wonder people smile awkwardly and excuse themselves.

3. Separation Is for Service, Not Superiority

This is key: prophets and apostles aren’t better—they’re burdened. Set apart, not above. The Lord calls them close so they can speak faithfully. They are not spiritual celebrities; they are servants under orders.

Paul didn’t boast. He wept. He was beaten, imprisoned, rejected—yet still burning with love for the Church. Prophets aren’t distant because they don’t care; they’re distant because they’ve seen something too holy to treat casually.

4. The Early Church Felt It Too

Even in the book of Acts, apostles were not always welcomed warmly. Paul spent much of his ministry defending his call, not just to outsiders, but to believers. Unity in the Spirit doesn’t erase the discomfort of truth.

“Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16, NASB).

That question still echoes in many prophetic hearts today.

5. If You Feel Alone, You’re Not Alone

This calling can feel lonely—but you’re not the first to walk it. John was exiled. Paul was abandoned. Yeshua was betrayed. You are in good company.

So if you’re the one who speaks up when others stay silent… if your obedience costs you invitations, recognition, or comfort—know this: You are not alone. You are set apart.

Key Takeaways (for Search + Social)

  • Prophets and apostles often feel isolated—not from pride, but purpose.
  • Their calling disrupts comfort but builds the Body.
  • They are vital to Church health, even when misunderstood.

“Let a man regard us in this manner: as servants of Messiah and stewards of the mysteries of God.” — 1 Corinthians 4:1, NASB

Prayer

Lord, for every son and daughter You’ve called to walk the narrow road—give grace, give strength, give peace. Remind them that though they may feel alone, they are deeply known. Let them walk humbly, serve faithfully, and speak boldly. We ask this in the name of Yeshua, who was rejected that we might be restored. Amen.

When the Church becomes One again

Beloved,

Hear the cry of the Spirit to the Church. The Lord is near. The hour is late. And still, we remain divided—voices without harmony, bodies without breath, altars without fire. We debate. We defend. But where is the fear of the Lord? Where is the awe that bends knees and breaks jars?

We are not whole. The Church limps between movements and moments, calling unity what God has not sanctified. But El Shaddai has not abandoned His Bride. He calls her. He cleanses her. He prepares her.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NASB)

Everything begins with prayer.

1. God Will Not Unite What He Has Not Purified

The Lord does not bless confusion. He will not anoint flesh. He does not unite denominations; He gathers disciples. Judgment begins in the house of God—not in anger, but in holy love.

Before unity, there must be fire. Before reconciliation, repentance. We cry out for healing, but the jar must break. Our titles, our platforms, our pride—they must fall before the presence returns.

“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God.” — 1 Peter 4:17 (NASB)

Unity through prayer begins with surrender.

Love is breaking through when the Father's in the room
Believers gathered in deep intercessory prayer, lifting silent groanings before God, surrounded by symbols of His covenant promises.

2. The Final Move Will Be Birthed in Intercession

The final revival will not start with lights and stages. It will begin in hidden rooms where nameless saints cry, “Come, Lord Jesus.” No man will own it. No system will control it. The oil will be found with those who waited in the secret place.

We have tried strategy. Now we must try surrender. We have planned. Now we must pray.

“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child.” — Isaiah 66:7 (NASB)

Unity through prayer is not organizational—it is spiritual.

Break you jar before the Lord
Before the healing comes, the jar must break. This is where revival begins—on our faces, with nothing held back.

3. The Spirit Will Burn Away the Lines of Division

He will not repair man’s scaffolding. He will consume it. The Church that remains will not be Baptist, Catholic, or Pentecostal—it will be holy. It will carry fire. It will tremble at His Word.

Do not ask, “What church are you from?” Ask, “Do you carry His presence?” The true Bride will not compare sermons. She will weep at His feet. She will not argue over gifts. She will pray until heaven opens.

Unity through prayer ends all boasting.

A community gathered in Spirit-led worship, encircling the fire—symbol of God’s presence—each heart lifted in surrender and awe before the Lord.

4. The Fire Will Fall on a United Bride

Not a blended theology. Not an ecumenical table. A people in one place, with one cry. A remnant who stayed behind when the crowds went home. They wait not for consensus—but for power from on high.

“And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.” — Acts 2:1 (NASB)

When the altar is rebuilt and the hearts are torn, the fire will come. Not to endorse a doctrine—but to mark a people.

Unity through prayer creates the altar where fire falls.

Call to Holiness and Purity
The Bridegroom and the Bride—Yeshua gazes upon His Church with holy longing, and she returns His love with purity and devotion, set apart for Him alone.

5. The Cry of the Bride is Rising

She does not say, “Make us famous.” She whispers, “Make us ready.” Her voice shakes the heavens—not with eloquence but with urgency. She does not seek platforms. She seeks oil.

The world will not believe until the Church bleeds again—on her knees, at the altar, in love. Not unity by human agreement, but by divine alignment.

This is how the Church becomes one again: by prayer. By purity. By presence.

Unity through prayer is the way back to the Bridegroom.

Your fire alone can cleanse and heal,
Your voice the wound and balm reveal.
Unite us not by creed or throne—
But make us Yours, and Yours alone.

Final Exhortation

Beloved, the time is now. Let the traditions fall. Let the opinions fade. Let the fire of the Spirit come.

Do not build. Kneel.

The unity we need will not be signed—it must be sown in tears.

The Bride will be made one again when the altar is rebuilt and the prayers ascend like incense. He is coming for a pure Bride, not a polished one. Let every heart return.

The Lord, He is God. The Lord, He is God.

Sound the Shofar

Beloved, listen.

This is not just another message—this is a cry from the Spirit of the Living God. Open your heart. Don’t scroll past. Don’t silence the stirring. The time is too late and the hour too urgent. These words are not ink—they are fire. They are bread for the starving soul, water for the parched spirit. Eat. Listen. Engage. Heaven is calling, not with suggestion but with summons. The Lord is seeking those who will not harden their hearts but will tremble at His Word. Beloved, return. Return before the door shuts. Return before the harvest ends. Return while there is still breath in your lungs. This is for you. This is for now.

Lay it down.

All of it—the noise, the endless scrolling, the fear-soaked headlines, the idols of comfort and control. Lay down the false peace of passivity. Tear from your hands the chains of distraction. The world is loud, relentless, and poisoned with deception. But the voice of the Lord still thunders above it all. The Shepherd calls. The Spirit groans. And the Father waits.

Sound the mighty spiritual shofar! Not the trumpets of man, not the hollow horns of politics or media spin—but the true shofar of Heaven, the sound that shakes foundations and splits the sky. And today, let everyone hear the call to sound the shofar. Let it echo across the nations, from mountain to valley, from city to wilderness. Let the angels ready their ranks. Let the demons flee in terror. Let it be declared boldly to every principality in the air:

This world belongs to the Lord—and your time is short.

The throne of God is not up for debate. It cannot be silenced or censored. His kingdom does not rise and fall with human empires. The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it (Psalm 24:1, NASB). And yet, so many have forgotten. We have traded His glory for entertainment. His truth for tolerance. His presence for convenience. The enemy has numbed the Church, lulled her into slumber with comforts, busyness, and fear. But the alarm is sounding—and it’s time to wake up.

You powers of the air—hear the sound!

Yeshua reigns. His cross crushed your authority. His resurrection sealed your defeat. And His Spirit now lives in us, the blood-bought, fire-baptized, uncompromising remnant. We are not afraid. We are not backing down. The King is coming, and His Bride is rising.

Today is the day.

Not next week. Not when it’s convenient. Not when the calendar clears or the kids are older or the crisis passes. Now. If you hear His voice today, do not harden your heart. You know the tug in your spirit—that’s God. You feel the ache in your chest—that’s your soul remembering its true home. You feel the heat in your bones—that’s the fire He wants to fan into flame.

The world is choosing. You must choose.

Will you serve the gods of the age—convenience, self, popularity—or will you stand in the fire and declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15, NASB)? The days of playing Church are over. We need consecrated hearts, holy lips, and knees that bend only to the King of Kings. We need altars, not stagesRepentance, not performance. Fire, not fog machines. Sound the shofar today to declare this transformation.

The spiritual shofar is not just a call to arms—it’s a call to surrender. To throw down your idols and come trembling to the mercy seat. To rend your heart and cry, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, NASB). You were not made for survival—you were made for glory. You were not saved to be silent—you were redeemed to roar.

So rise up, Church. Sound the shofar. Fall on your face. Cry out for mercy. Let the tears fall. Let the fire come.

Let your worship shake the heavens. Let your life echo with eternity.

Yeshua reigns. The King is coming. And we belong to Him.

Prayer

El Shaddai, sound the shofar of Heaven over our lives today. Tear through every layer of apathy and burn away what doesn’t belong. We lay down every idol, every distraction, every allegiance that isn’t to You. Let the kingdoms of this world tremble and the powers of darkness flee. Awaken Your Bride. Awaken me. Clothe us in righteousness, anoint us with boldness, and mark us with Your fire. We declare today: You reign, Yeshua. You alone.This is Your world. We are Your people. And this is the hour of Your glory.

In Your holy, powerful name—Amen.

Pressing Towards Glory

Beloved elders, chosen and called by God, hear the word of the Lord spoken over you today. You are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others—who ran their race in unwavering faith, never doubting the faithfulness of the One who called them. They stand as silent witnesses, testifying to God’s goodness and urging you to take hold of the inheritance of faith that has been entrusted to you. As they pressed forward in faith, so too are you called to press on, unwavering and undistracted, toward the upward call of Christ.

The Spirit of the Lord declares over you today: Lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set before you, looking only to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:1-2, AMP). The hour is urgent, and the call is clear—press in, draw near, and let nothing of this world hinder the mighty work God is doing through you. For the Lord is with you, and His Spirit is upon you; He is calling you deeper, summoning you to walk the path of purity and power, to fix your eyes solely on Him, and to bring His glory to the earth through unshakable faith and obedience.

This is a holy calling, not for the faint of heart. Yet you are not alone; the Lord Himself is your strength and shield. As Moses forsook the treasures of Egypt for the promise of God, so too you are called to reject the fleeting allure of the world and to embrace the treasures of heaven. Like Abraham, who stepped out in faith not knowing where he was going, so too you are called to trust in God’s guidance, moving forward in faith even in the face of uncertainty. For He who calls you is faithful, and He will fulfill His promises.

The Word of the Lord speaks to you today, saying: Be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose] (1 Corinthians 15:58, AMP). The Lord sees your faithfulness and delights in your heart of surrender. He is not blind to your sacrifices; He is not deaf to your prayers. Every step of obedience, every act of love, every moment of faith—these are the offerings that please Him, and they are building a legacy of glory that will resound in eternity.

Rise up, elders of the church, for the Spirit of the Lord is upon you! He has anointed you, appointed you, and strengthened you to lead His people into deeper communion with Him. The world will not understand your calling, for it is a holy calling, set apart for His glory. Do not be swayed by the opinions of man, nor distracted by the cares of this life. As Noah built the ark in reverence and obedience, though the world mocked him, so too you must be unwavering in your obedience to God, confident that He is faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken.

Press on, beloved, toward the prize set before you, for Jesus Himself is your reward, your strength, and your crown. This is the high calling—to know Him, to walk with Him, to serve Him with a pure and undivided heart. As the Apostle Paul proclaimed, “I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14, AMP), so too let this be your proclamation. Press on, not as one uncertain, but as one whose eyes are set on the Author and Perfecter of your faith.

Today, I declare over you: the God of all grace, who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you (1 Peter 5:10, AMP). As you press forward in faith, He will lift you up, sustaining you by His Spirit, equipping you for every good work, and carrying you from glory to glory. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, and He will not leave you nor forsake you.

Stand firm, beloved elders, for the Spirit of God is upon you, and His Word is alive within you. Take hold of this mantle with holy reverence, casting aside every weight, pressing on with endurance, and keeping your eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. For He is your hope, your peace, your joy, and your victory. And on the day He returns, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades, and you will hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Amen and amen.
