The Foundation of Our Faith
God’s Promises
To see Penticton transformed, we need to know that it can be done! And that Father God wills it if we want it badly enough. The following verses (along with many more) prove that He already does.
II Chronicles 7:14-15 …if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
Ephesians 3:10-11 …to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 6:12 For we are … fighting against … evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
Psalm 24
Penticton is the Lord’s, and everything within it; the Okanagan Valley and all those who live there.
For He has founded it upon the lakes and established it upon the streams and the rivers.
Who may climb up the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?
The ones who have clean hands and pure hearts, who have not lifted up their souls to what is false, nor have promised deceitfully. [Matt 5:8]
They shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of their salvation.
This is the description of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, who seek Your face, even as Jacob did. [Psa 42:1]
Lift up your heads, spiritual gates to Penticton; be lifted up, ancient doors to the city, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory? Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, strong and mighty, mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, spiritual gates to Penticton; lift them up, ancient doors to the city, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is He, this King of glory? Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords; He is the King of glory who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies.
Just think about that!
