STRONGER THAN EVER

STRONGER THAN EVER


LENT is a time-
For getting STRONGER-as we WAIT
For our COMING KING


We pray more
We fast more
And we get stronger in our CHARITY
And in our CARING for others


Lent is HERE
We are STRONGER than ever
And we WAIT for our Lord


“.........
The ONE who raised Christ
From the dead
Will give LIFE
To your mortal bodies
Through the SPIRIT
Dwelling in you” Romans 8:1


Christ is coming
He will CONQUER death
And he will leave
His SPIRIT with us


And he will be
STRONGER than ever
In us


“Who is this KING
Of glory?


The Lord-strong and mighty
The Lord-mighty in battle” Psalm 24:8


“For the foolishness of God
Is wiser
Than human wisdom


And the weakness of God
Is STRONGER
Than human strength” 1 Corinthians 1:25


Of course our SPIRITUAL TOOLS
Of fasting-praying-and charity-
Are with us-
ALL year long


But during LENT
We USE them
On a daily basis


We become more FOCUSED
We become stronger


Our spirit comes
CLOSER to God
We just have to WAIT
For the COMING of Christ-
The coming of the LORD


WAITING for the Lord-
Waiting for his strength
Waiting for his SPIRIT


“CREATE in me
A PURE HEART-O GOD


And RENEW a steadfast spirit
Within me” Psalm 51:10


“At that time
You will be GIVEN what to say


For it will NOT be
You speaking


But the Spirit
Of the Father
SPEAKING though you” Matthew 10:20


Christ will LEAVE with us
The FRUITS & qualities of the SPIRIT


“But the fruit of the SPIRIT
Is love-joy-peace-forbearance-
Kindness-goodness-FAITHFULNESS-
Gentleness-and self-control” Galatians 5:22-23


We will COMBINE these
With our ACTS of prayer-
Acts of fasting-and self-denial
And our CHARITY


And we will be
STRONGER THAN EVER
In the LORD OUR GOD
