We put this post up, very early in the ministry, to explain what really consumes us here at the Ministry.
My Lord My Friend is the statement behind our beliefs. We believe and know that Jesus is Our Lord, Our Redeemer and Friend.
We at two trees ministries {Mylordmyfriend.com} want to encourage everybody to live the life that they have been called to live according to His Word.
To become believers, followers or Christians or whatever it is you wish to be called. The title doesn’t matter, the fact that you are Redeemed does!
Take a line from a singing group song, “My best friend is the creator of the universe”.
Are we really aware of the truth that the creator of the universe wants to be our friend? I don’t think we will ever understand just how much He loves us, and that we will ever understand real love, real relationship, until we accept the love He wants to give us.
One of the greatest affirmations of faith is the Nicene Creed, which really is just a statement of Faith.
“I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in One Lord Jesus Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the father, before all worlds, God from God, Light from Light, very God of very God.
Begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heave, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried, and on the third day, He rose again, according to the scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father,
and He shall come again with Glory to judge both the quick (alive) and the dead, whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and The Son, who with the Father and Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy and apostolic church, and acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sin, and I look for the resurrection life in the the dead, and the life of the world to come.”
This was written by early believers in the Faith as a confirmation of their faith.
The sinners prayer is also a statement of faith, where we acknowledge who Jesus is and what He did for us on the cross, and say sorry for our {sins} wrong doings and ask Him to come into our life to help us as our Lord and Friend.
Maybe it’s time for us to further put our faith in God, and step into a place where we are daily renewing our commitment to Him.
Putting on the Belt of Truth,The Breastplate of Righteousness, with our feet sandaled with readiness for The Gospel of Peace. carrying The Shield of Faith, wearing The Helmet {Covering of} Salvation, while holding The Sword of The Spirit, walking together in the likeness of Our Lord, Our Redeemer and Our Friend. {Ephesians 6 verses 14 to 17]
