God speaks today Friday | May 3, 2024

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Joshua 1:5)
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. (Acts 18:10)
Charles Spurgeon

No one can hurt us

The anger of the mob in Corinth could not stop the preaching of the Gospel or the conversion of listeners. God has power over even the most violent minds. Do not fear man if you know you are doing your duty, for a valiant faith in God drives away fear. No one can harm us unless the Lord allows it. Go ahead and where you expected enemies, you may find friends. Read more...
