Concerning the recent terror threats
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amos 9:10
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It says in the Bible that it rains on the just and the unjust. And when the men were facing the trial of being thrown in the firey furnace they said,
"O Nebuchadnezzar, we don't need to defend ourselves before you in this matter," they told the king. "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
Also remember when Jesus was confronted by Peter and Peter told him he wouldn't need to go to the cross... Remember that? So when I encounter people telling me that it's not going to happen that is my response. God is certainly able to rescue us and prevent this, but he may not for his own reasons. If it does happen and I am affected (because I live in NY state) just remember us in prayer.
The Bible says we all have to go through a "trial by fire", and that can take many different forms. Don't pray that it will be prevented, pray that we will be brave and strong in Christ when the evil day comes. Just like when Jesus said to Peter that Satan desires to sift him like wheat but he prayed that Peter's faith would not fail. Thanks always for your concern and prayers.
Your sister in Christ,
Kasia
