To you, Ben, the heir of the Kingdom in Heaven.

Grace and peace be with you from the One who gives us life.
I have felt strongly the presence of God, and that you were in need of encouragement. As witness to the great love and compassion of Christ, I felt it my privilege and honor to show you the things I have found.

I, myself, have suffered at the hands of the enemies who continue to oppress you. they are invisible, silent, and merciless, preying on the things you cling to in this life. But the message that I bring to you is one of faith, hope, and love. Without faith, dear friend, we cannot hope to find love. For it is in Christ, and Christ alone, who saved you from death, that you can find a peace that transcends all understanding. A hope that lasts beyond this life and a faith in a loving God who is unwavering, immovable, and trustworthy.

Ben, you have strength of many. I believe, as I know you do, that the road of Christ is marked with suffering; that we must endure every day as though it is a battle in the war of winning believers for His cause.

My friend, do not fear evil, nor shrink back into the shadows in the presence of trials. Rather, be the brave soldier you are, stand with your fellow believers in the presence of your enemies wearing the full armour of God, and declare that the enemy cannot defeat you.

No weapon can stand against the double-edged sword that is God’s word. No army will dare attack while you dwell in the house of the Lord.
I, along with those in heaven, rejoiced the day you committed to following Christ. Rejoicing that the son had finally returned to the father, who said, “look, my son has been returned to me”.

it has been on my heart to pray for you constantly in your time of need. So that you will know you are not alone, and that others will see the strength you have in Christ, and may follow your example.
Ben, do not tire of doing God’s work. Yours is the kingdom of heaven, and your father waits there to greet you with open arms and say “well done, my good and faithful servant”.

You have yet to learn and understand the full capacity of God’s love, but by casting all your cares upon Him, you will find peace against which the devil has no weapon.

Remain in Christ, Benjamin James, and He will remain in you. because he has a plan for you, a hope and a future and a life utterly fulfilled for you, and you should never lose sight of that.

For in life, we find death, and in the death of Christ, we find Life.

[1 Thessalonians 5:17].

Christ’s Obedient Soldier
