Part 2: Children's Meeting and The Msg of the Morning: That They May Know Thee - John 17:3

Speaker: 
Sim Yoder, Opening Devotional by Victor Ebersole

As we continue our Annual District Meetings on Sunday morning at Camp Mantowagan Brother Victor started devotions from Psalm about rejoicing and being happy!  Brother Sim started with Children's Meeting looking into the universe that God "spoke into existance".  How majestic and mind streching this creation is and how our God is so big, but yet he knows each and every eternal soul in a personal way!  The message of the morning is titled  "That They May Know Thee - John 17:3".  How do we know Jesus?  Faith strengthens and Fear weakens us!  Our Brother spoke about STRENGHT and JOYFULLNESS!  Our Brother brought is a number us points.  1st our strength comes from God.  Is 26:4 and Is 12:2. Next point is that our Joy comes from the Lord which is our strength.  Next point is Prayer!  Jesus went out on the mountain and prayed.  In the Garden Jesus prayed...  The next point is the our strenght comes from the Lord instead of our own way.... Prov 10:29.  Next point is putting on God's armour... Eph 6. Next point on where strength comes from is Quiet and Confidence, Is 30:15. Be Still and Know that I am God. Quiet time to our souls is what rest is to our bodies... Next point on where are strength comes from is when we accept our situation, our lot in life...  II Cor 12:7-10 is Paul's testimony.  Our Brother closed with Is 61:3....
