For the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:14

Now the Lord is the Spirit,

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor 3:17

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear;

but you received a spirit of adoption. Romans 8:15

We have wells of salvation inside of us!

we want to break open these wells so the river can flow!

The joy of the Lord is indeed our strength!

Beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith;

pray in the Holy Spirit. Jude 20

The Spirit birthed a new song in Tom! \o/ Let the fire fall!!

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,

which you have from God,

and that you are not your own?

For you were bought with a price;

therefore glorify God in your body.

1 Cor 6:19-20

During the evening celebration, friends took the occasion to honour Lucienne and Rainer for their years of dedicated service. All of us also prayed over them as well as Wimpie & Chairny.

Thank God for the life in the city of God!
