O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven:
Come, break down the prison walls of death for those
who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death;
and lead your captive people into freedom.
Isaiah had prophesied, AI will place the Key of the House of David on His shoulder; when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open.†(22:22), and “His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David’s throne, and over His kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever.†(9:6).

I’ve discovered a vein of purest gold on the internet. What a deep resource. Such powerful comfort to know that I tread the pilgrim path not alone but surrounded by warm strong hearts. I am poor but will try to forward some funds in the new year.
Thanks for making my Advent rich in 2013.
