Theotokos Prayer Group update no.23

 Dear friends,

I certainly wasn't expecting these Covid led updates to still be going but it doesn't look as if we will be meeting up together any time soon and I think its unlikely until 2021.

However we can still support one another in prayer.

May God bless and keep you all.

Romans 8 v 28-29

28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family

1 Corinthians v 47-49

47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.

2 Corinthians v 3 -18

18 And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

How well do we conform to the image of Christ in our lives?

Are our minds, hearts and wills submitted to Him?

Are we asking the Holy Spirit to transform us into the likeness of Christ?
