Topic: Become Secured In The Word [TREM’s Daily Monday January 15th, 2018]
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” (Mark 13:31 KJV)
God is truly for us! God is with us! And if God is for us who can be against us? But until we become acquainted and secured in the immutable and impregnable nature of the word of God we will remain a cheap victim in the hand of the devil. The devil doesn’t mind your coming to church every day. He doesn’t mind your dancing and sweating or high-fiving one another as long as you are ignorant and unable to know how the kingdom operates. So, if you don’t have an understanding of how God’s kingdom operates being regular in Church changes nothing.
