In times of war and much talk of an energy crisis, it is not easy to stand in faith.

Usually when you're in a crisis, you don't even think about it, which certainly pleases the devil. He is a master at bringing up things that try to pull you away from your faith.

I cannot emphasize enough how important your life of faith is, especially in times of turmoil.

The Good News you watch and listen to, the Christian meetings you attend, the Word of God you read, the Bible studies you attend. All these things, and many more, contribute to a strong life of faith.

Today we have the opportunity to experience things through multimedia that God has revealed to His servants in other parts of the world. These revelations give us a broader picture of what is going on and what God is doing.

God always has a plan that He certainly does not keep secret from us. He confirms this again in Amos 3:7 which says: “So the Lord God does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.”

In these end times we will hear more and more from the prophets of the Lord. We do well to listen to the revelations God gives them.

Soon the European Prophetic Council will meet again to share the impressions God has given for this time and 2023. I think the recordings will be on PropheticVoiceTV (Dr. Sharon Stone/Dr. Arleen Westerhof).

Such revelations stimulate our faith. They provide steadfastness and stability in our faith life.

This is the Jewish Year 5783 where the number 3, the letter Gimel. ℷ The word "gimel" is derived from the word "gemul", which means retribution or restitution , and indicates that the nature of sowing can lead to blessing or judgment for the one who sows.

In other words, how one chooses to "run" the race will determine the outcome of his or her life.

It is taught that the depiction of this Hebrew letter refers to a walking man or a man of righteousness who gives wealth. This represents the abundance and wealth of God running after us.

This will be a time when God makes things right. Those who have continued to seek Him in spite of their circumstances will be openly rewarded. God's abundance and wealth will follow after them.

On the other hand, God will continue to exercise his justice. It will be a year when the unseen will be revealed and God will deal with evil.

Right now there is only one thing that matters to us, and that is our faith life. Today we have to decide how we want to “run” the race.
