Thu 18-Nov-10- II Thessalonians 1 & 2 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our feast in 2 Thessalonians 1 and 2 Thessalonians 2. Paul by the grace of God speaks to us through these scriptures; we must be Living to Please God! We should constantly communicate with God. We should constantly be in prayer for the Saints, Sinners, asking God for his perfect will to be done. Remember this Saint; a saint is a sinner who God saved from the sin; “With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” – 2 Thessalonians 1:11 - 12 (New International Version). God gives us hope, strength and the direction to keep the First thing (salvation, the gift by God through Jesus) First ! “16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2 (New International Version). Don’t be fooled, be ready, Jesus said that the whole world will hear when he arrives to take us home. Keep going with all your good work, both in the world and in the family of God. “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”- John 17:17 (New International Version). If God is willing I will post and send the Feast tomorrow. II Thessalonians Overview The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written soon after the first. The apostle was told that, from some expressions in his first letter, many expected the second coming of Christ was at hand, and that the day of judgment would arrive in their time. Some of these neglected their worldly duties. St. Paul wrote again to correct their error, which hindered the spread of the gospel. He had written agreeably to the words of the prophets of the Old Testament; and he tells them there were many counsels of the Most High yet to be fulfilled, before that day of the Lord should come, though, because it is sure, he had spoken of it as near. The subject led to a remarkable foretelling, of some of the future events which were to take place in the after-ages of the Christian church, and which show the prophetic spirit the apostle possessed.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
