1 Corinthians 2:1-10. Luke 9:57-62

Before creation the Word was, issuing from the Most High: in the beginning, through the Word spoken and the grace and power of our Holy Spirit, the created world came into being according to the will and loving purpose of the Lord of All. The Word is Love, the substance and the essence of Him who is and was and ever shall be. Through the Word spoken and responded to in the hearts and minds of the beloved sons and daughters of the Lord of All Creation (who seeks to draw them in to Himself through the grace and power of His love) knowledge of the truth is given and grace and power offered to the obedient to the word and faithful in Our love to follow as they are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.

‘In returning and rest you will be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength’: so was the word spoken and speaks now. and in obedience the way is opened, power given. Through patient waiting on Him who seeks to perfect His will and loving purpose in all who call upon His Name creation is progressed and carried forward to its perfection and fulfilment.
