Audio Version
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Our opening text shows us that God has blessed us with three special gifts -the power, love, and sound mind.
God’s power is the foundation of our strength, enabling us to accomplish great things for His kingdom. His love is the assurance of His care and concern for us, casting out all fear and doubt. And His gift of a sound mind gives us wisdom, clarity, and discernment, helping us navigate life’s complexities with confidence and faith.
These special gifts empower us to live a life that is pleasing to Him, overcoming every obstacle and challenge that comes our way.
Therefore, there is no need to fear because you have been empowered with all you need to succeed. Choose to walk in the power, love, and sound mind that God has given to you. Yield to the gentle leading of His Spirit, and allow Him to guide you every step of the way. As you surrender to His presence, you will experience the fullness of life that He has promised – a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Halleluyah.

Additionally, there is a lack of Bibles and restrictions to universities and utilities for churches that do not register with the Cuban Council of Churches.
