President's Message March, 2025
Dear Full Gospel Brothers and Sisters,
Romans 8:31 says, “…if God be for us, who can be against us?”
The state of the world right now can be discouraging as well as very fearful for what lies ahead of us each day.
But the Spirit in us is far stronger than anything we face in the world, as it says in 1John 4:4. – “He who is in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.
We are planted together in the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International.
As part of God’s Fellowship, you are always protected.
I see in my Spirit that some of us are fearful of the world, fearful of the government.
But brothers, we join together in prayer and speak protection over us all. We are family. And as the scripture says, “who can be against us?” No one.
I give you powerful words to speak each day from Scripture. God's word is truth and will give you strength and confidence to face each day and go forth as a servant of the Lord.
The most wel-known Psalm is Psalm 23. The first verse promises “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” You shall not want for protection.
The fourth verse says, “even if I walk in the shadow of death I fear no evil, for You are with me; your rod and your staff protect me.” God protects you himself.
Speak those words every morning and those words and scriptures will form a shield of protection around you and your family. It is a promise of the Lord.
His Banner Over Us Is Love!
