FBI WARNS TERROR THREAT HIGH
HATRED OF JEWS SURGES

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – November 1, 2023 Standing on Dry GroundBy David Wilkerson ![]() | |
God insists there must be “dry ground” on our way through the Red Sea. He told Israel, “[You] shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea” (Exodus 14:16, NKJV). Amazingly, God uses this phrase four times, telling his people, “You will go over on dry ground.” We see this phrase again when Israel was poised to enter Canaan. They crossed over Jordan on dry ground on their way into the Promised Land. Simply put, dry ground is a path. If you are on it, you are going somewhere. You are not losing ground or going backward; your dry ground is the Lord’s plan, his work in your life, his miracles to perform. You are moving toward a revelation, a new victory in Christ, toward something greater. Scripture proves this. Note where Pharaoh and his army lost their battle: on God-given dry ground that was suddenly flooded by the sea. Dry ground is the exact place where the devil will come after you. He wants to attack you when you are at your weakest, yet it is on this same dry ground that the Lord removes the “chariot wheels” from Satan’s principalities and powers. “The waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained” (Exodus 14:28). God is telling us, in essence, “I want you to learn to move on in faith, not according to a vision or a voice, but when you are in the midst of a dry spell. I want you to be confident that when you cannot hear my voice or see ahead, when you are on dry ground, I am leading you somewhere.” The Lord promises that he will turn our dry ground into springs of fresh water. “When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongues fail for thirst, I, the Lord, will hear them…. I will open rivers in desolate places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water” (Isaiah 41:17-18). Dear saint, are you dry? God is telling you, “Soon you will see a harvest. Where there once was dry ground, life will spring up at your feet. I have created it! Stand still and see what I will do for you on dry ground.”

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
— Acts 2:42
“It is not good that man should be alone.” God knows this; He said it. God also knows that few things surpass being in a group of people with whom one really belongs. He knows we need that kind of relationship, and so He created it.
On Pentecost Sunday two thousand years ago, He created a new kind of fellowship that had never existed in the world before. Scripture calls it “Koinonia,” the “family of God” or the “forever family.”
The family of God includes all those who have invited Christ to make them new creatures and have experienced the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Everyone in the family bears the same name, Christian, and has the same Father in Heaven. This makes us all brothers and sisters in Christ. What a comforting reality to belong to such a group.
As members of God’s family, the Holy Spirit has bonded us together in many ways. Let’s think of some. We are equal heirs, and our inheritance is infinite and inexhaustible. We are believers; our hearts and minds share the same spiritual perception of the world.
We are disciples; we all sit at the feet of one Master and learn our worldview from Him. We are witnesses; we share the special joy of leading people to Christ. We are soldiers; we share trials and triumphs and strengthen each other in faith.
We are also a fellowship of slaves. Have you ever thought of that? During Roman times, a bond slave’s life and death were in his or her master’s hands. Paul delighted to call himself a bond slave of Christ, and we should view ourselves in the same light.
Do you realize how blessed you are to belong to such a wonderful family? Do you want God’s family to grow closer, stronger, and more loving? Today ask God to show you how to play your part in the family.

“Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love.
The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.”

Hi Friend,
One of the most common arguments used to defend abortion - the killing of preborn children - is that it is “a woman’s body” so it is “her choice.”
How can any politician or judge “force a woman to do something with her body she doesn’t want to do?”
As someone who cares about women also, you might be struggling to find a compelling answer to that argument. As our nation wrestles with the legacy of Roe v. Wade, it is critical that we who value both mother and baby have a powerful response to this statement.
I have a video that powerfully responds to this argument with grace and truth, and I knew you’d want to see it!
Here’s a link to see how Kristen Watson - author, speaker, mother, and NFL player Benjamin Watson’s wife - takes on this prevalent argument: https://prolifereplies.liveaction.org/my-body-my-choice/
Have a watch and let me know what you think.
Please also share it with a friend who may be struggling with this question.
Ending abortion doesn’t end a woman’s rights, rather it affirms the immeasurable value of women and men, both preborn and born. |
