Daniel 3:14-20, 92-92, 95

Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,

Even to this day we have witnesses who are willing to lay down their lives for You just as Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego did so many centuries ago. You have said, "Know the truth and the truth will set you free. You are the Truth Beloved and when in faith we are able to grasp the Wisdom of Truth we are given the courage to stand against those who can kill the body and when they are done can do no more. You warned us rather to be afraid of the One who can kill both body and soul and cast into the eternal flames of hell. 

When in complete confidence we place our trust in You Beloved, we can boldly, and with courage and complete confidence proclaim as did these three exemplary young men, 

"There is no need for us to defend ourselves before you
in this matter.
If our God, whom we serve,
can save us from the white-hot furnace
and from your hands, O king, may he save us!
But even if he will not, know, O king,
that we will not serve your god
or worship the golden statue that you set up."

When we stand firm in our faith and belief in You, whom the Father sent to redeem the world we are assured that God Himself will come to our aid and defend us through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need fear nothing that the Enemy can do us ever. With You we are always victorious when we stand on the side of Truth.
Psalm (Daniel) 3:52-56

Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,

When in the midst of tribulation we raise our hearts and voices in praise of You we will find courage to withstand all persecution and torment. You are God, there is no other. The world is constantly ramming false gods and false beliefs down our throats and they rave and rant with murderous fury when we refuse to give in. Fear has no place in love as You often remind us. 

You are the God of Love and when we place all our hope, faith, and confidence in You, we are guaranteed that You Yourself will come to our aid and rescue us; just as You came to the help of Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego.

John 8:31-42

Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,

Today we still have our separated brothers and sisters who do not embrace the fullness of Truth and thus they remain enslaved to lies that holds them in bondage. This is why they have gone down the slippery slope embracing all kinds of  aberrations in human relationships and somehow finding ways of twisting the truth into something palatable that the ignorant will accept.

It is ironic that the Jews who said that they have never been slaves were at the very moment under Roman rule as their nation was under occupation. They swore allegiance to Rome. In fact the wicked chief priests actually said to Pilate that they had no king but Caesar.  They were prepared to say anything in order to strangle Truth and destroy it in ways that only Satan could conceive and yes they were his pawns. Slaves of Rome and slaves of Satan.

The Son is the true heir. The Son is free and when we remain one in You Beloved, we too are free indeed. We are made co-heirs with You for it pleases the Father to give us a share in His Kingdom. Preserve all who believe in the Truth Beloved and continue to watch over Your Church, Your Bride, so at last You will be able to present her to the Father without wrinkle or stain. Amen,
