“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).

“And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died” (Genesis 5:5).

“My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:2).

The psalmist rightly said, “Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves” (Psalm 100:3). In fact, He not only made us, but continues to sustain our moment-by-moment existence.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18).

“And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work” (Nehemiah 2:18).

It has been said that when the people of God say, “Let us arise and build” Satan says, “Let us arise and oppose.” The work of the Lord never advances without Satanic opposition.
