“Those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:13
In Portuguese, a person who has the ability to hang in and not give up has garra.Garra means “claws.” What imagery! A person with garra has claws which burrow in the side of the cliff and keep him from falling.
So do the saved. They may get close to the edge, they may even stumble and slide.
But they will dig their nails into the rock of God and hang on.
Shona Neff shared this…The three most difficult words to speak are, “I was mistaken.”
Amen .I had to use that yesterday. Or Shona how about You are forgiven?

Holiness Is a Reasonable Request
by Jon Walker |
|
Peter says we’re to be holy, just as our heavenly Father is holy. Isn’t that impossible, particularly when we know no matter how hard we work to be holy, we’ll still fall short of the glory of God? Isaiah’s vision of heaven helps me understand how this works: An angel-seraph sings out, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” (Isaiah 6:3 NIV) Isaiah’s response is, “Woe to me! . . . I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips.” (Isaiah 6:5 NIV) Keep in mind, this is Isaiah, the MVP of prophets, saying, “Woe to me!” Yet, as he moves into God’s holy light, Isaiah sees quite clearly that his righteous acts are nothing more than filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) He says, in effect, “All that I’ve done hasn’t come anywhere near covering my guilt and sin. Lord, I cannot match your holiness.” Just then, one of the angel-seraphs flies to Isaiah with a glowing hot coal from heaven’s altar. He touches it to Isaiah’s lips and says, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” (Isaiah 6:7 NIV) The thing to remember today, and forever, is that God initiates the cleansing. God himself will complete the cleansing as you submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8a NIV) To learn more about God’s Grace –

Sorry that I have failed to Pray for you this week, God is placing a burden on me today, for all of you that pray for so many folks, in this nation, and for those outside it also.
I do pray, right now, that the Lord bless you, and fill you to overflowing with His Holy Spirit, love and blessings that you continually pour out to all those in need.
May He fill you today with just what you need, (I have seen Him do many a instant answer to prayers, and expect to see His hand many more times!), and some of what you want, (in His will).
God Bless you, and your fellow messengers at KKIM/KARS for carrying forth His Word.
I pray you have many blessings from the Lord this day.
Joe The American
