God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
What is the surest character of true, divine, supernatural love that distinguishes it from counterfeits that arise from a natural self-love? It is the Christian virtue of humility that shines in it. Divine love above all others renounces and abases what we term “self.” Christian love or true love is a humble love… In that person we see a sense of his own smallness, vileness, weakness, and utter insufficiency. We see a lack of self-confidence. We see self-emptiness, self-denial, and poverty of spirit. These are the manifest tokens of the Spirit of God.
Praying without ceasing means at least three things. First it means that there is a spirit of dependence that should permeate all we do… So even when we are not speaking consciously to God, there is a deep, abiding dependence on Him that is woven in to the heart of faith. Second… [it] means praying repeatedly and often. Third, [it] means not giving up on prayer. Don’t ever come to a point in your life where you cease to pray at all.
ICING
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare two 8" cake pans with cooking spray and flour;
set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, whipped topping mix, and
baking powder. In another mixing bowl, combine water, egg whites, oil, and
vanilla extract. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients just until
moistened. Pour evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until
golden brown. Freeze one layer for future use. Prepare pudding mix
according to package directions. Cool. Split cooled cake layer. Spread
bottom with pudding mix. Place top of cake layer over the pudding layer. To
prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, margarine, and
water until smooth. Frost top with icing, and let additional run down sides
of cake.
NOTES : Refrigerate 4 hours before serving to make slicing easier.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
