God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

May the Lord open our
mouths ...
May
the Lord open our mouths so that we no longer remain silent,
but
boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and, as watchmen for God,
faithfully
deliver the warnings we have received from Him
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 33:22).

your mouth wide
so that you may receive the words I give you
and go and speak to My

It
seems that the Lord is saying to me, 'Open your mouth wide
so
that you may receive the words I give you and go and speak to My people.'
I
desire to obey that command by opening my mouth wide,
receiving
the sweet, honey-like words of God, filling my heart with them,
and
by obeying them (digesting the words I have eaten), to go and share them
with
beloved brothers and sisters whom God wishes to bless with these words
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 3:1-5; Psalms 81:10).
The Lord has appointed pastors and elders
as watchmen for the
church.
The
Lord has appointed pastors and elders as watchmen for the church.
Therefore,
pastors and elders must listen to God's word
and,
on behalf of the Lord, warn the members of the church
(Ref.:
Ezekiel 33:7).
