The time has come for us the people of God to live righteous, holy and upright life before almighty God. Judgement shall begin in the house of the Lord. We must be in a place to hear well done, my good and faithful servant... We must serve our God in spirit and in truth withholding nothing. rnBlessed be the name of our most high God - Jesus.

I ASK GOD FOR MORE UNDERSTAND

Brenda's comment on 2013-12-16 11:09:44:

The verse was difficult for me to understand. The other translations were very helpful. I need to pray more and ask God for understanding before I read His Word.
