We all are under the command of the Captain of the Host who says to US ...
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for Jehovah Ĕlōhîm IS with you WHEREVER you go.” ONWARD Christian soldiers .. marching as to war .. with the cross of Jesus going on before!

Thank you for this🙏 I was thinking years ago when I felt God call me to volunteer in the children’s ministry. I didn’t feel qualified but I eventually decided to answer “the bell” and it has been the best experience for me, I’m always excited to be there. But now I feel like God also wants me to do other things in addition to that..I was asking God what is his purpose for me..and this is one of the things God led me to watch. It is such an honour to serve God, I feel like I’m changing inside cause my desires are changing and it’s becoming more of wanting to please God, to be of service, to love and help others. I feel like God wants me to share the gospel with others and I’m still trying to figure out how, but I will remember this I think it could help me by “just doing the next thing”

PRAISE GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

@nancymelloh4222 2 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing, and God for those that sacrificed. I have been called to give communion and pray with patients in nursing home. They are so appreciative and happy to receive Jesus. I don't feel like I am worthy, but Jesus put this on my heart🙏

@MrH77 2 weeks ago

Very inspiring. I'll have do the next thing ringing in my head now, which is no bad thing.

Of course the firemen didn't know both towers would fall, but doesn't take anything away from them going up, rather than getting out of there, until the Mayday call to do so was given, after tower 2 collapsed.
