“The Lord God of power preserve you all in his power. Let your
faith stand therein, that you may have unity in the faith, and in
the power; and by this faith and belief you may be all grafted
into Christ, the sure root, where the eternal Sun of Righteousness
shines, in the heavenly and eternal day, upon his plants and
grafts. This sun never goes down; and the heavenly springs of
life, and showers are known to water and nourish the grafts, and
plants, and buds, that they may always be kept fresh and green,
and never wither; bringing forth fresh and green, and living
fruit, which is offered up to the living God, who is glorified in
that you bear much fruit. The Lord God Almighty keep you, and
preserve you all in his power, light, and life, over death and
darkness; that therein you may spread his truth abroad, and be
valiant for it upon the earth, answering that of God in all; that
with it, the minds of people may be turned to him, so that with it
they may come to know the Lord Christ Jesus in the new covenant,
in which the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the
waters do the sea. His life must go over death, and his light must
go over darkness, and the power of God must go over the power of
Satan.
“So, all ye that are in the light, life, and power, keep the
heavenly fellowship in the heavenly power, the heavenly unity in
the heavenly divine faith, and the unity of the Spirit, which is
the bond of the heavenly Prince of princes’ peace; who bruises the
head of the enemy, the adversary, and reconciles man to God, and
all things in heaven and in the earth: a blessed reconciliation!
Let every one’s faith stand in the power of God, which Jesus
Christ is the author of; that all may know their crown of life.
For all outward things without the substance, life, and power,
areas the husk without the kernel, and do not nourish the immortal
soul, nor the new-born babe; but that by which it is nourished, is
the milk of the Word, whereby it groweth in the heavenly life,
strength, and wisdom. The gospel is not of man, nor by man, but is
the power of God, and answers the truth in all; all the possessors
of it are to see that all walk according to it; which everlasting
order is ordained of God already, and all the possessors of him
possess their joy, their comfort, and salvation. My love unto you
all, with him that reigns and is over all, from everlasting to
everlasting.
