FAITH SUSTAINS US

 

HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey

Beloved members of The Mystical Order,

Faith is the foundation upon which our entire spiritual journey is built. It is the confident assurance in God’s promises and His unfailing love, even when the storms of life rage around us. Faith is what keeps us standing when the world tries to shake us. It is not merely believing in God’s existence but trusting in His power, His plan, and His perfect timing. As Scripture tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

When troubles come—and they will—faith does not guarantee a life free of difficulties, but it assures us that God is with us every step, working for our good. The challenges we face are not signs of God’s absence but opportunities to deepen our trust and grow spiritually. Our forefathers in faith, Abraham, Moses, and many others, walked by faith through uncertainty and hardship, receiving God’s blessings through perseverance and unwavering trust.

In our ministry, let us encourage one another to hold fast to that faith. Faith activates God’s power in our lives. It prompts us to pray boldly, to serve faithfully, and to walk humbly before the Lord. Without faith, we cannot please Him; our worship and service lose their spiritual effectiveness.

Today, I urge you to examine the condition of your faith. Are doubts whispering lies to your heart? Are you wavering amid the trials? Bring those fears before God. Refresh your spirit in His Word, which is a firm foundation and lamp unto your path. Let faith arise as a shield against fear and despair.

Remember, faith is a journey, not a moment. It grows with each step of obedience, praise, and trust. Let your life be a testimony of God’s faithfulness, inspiring others in The Mystical Order to walk boldly in faith, knowing that with God, all things are possible.

Stand firm, beloved. Your faith will carry you through every challenge and into the fullness of all God has prepared for you.

The Patriarch

FROM THE DESK OF THE QUEEN ABBESS

A Message from The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Beloved Members of The Mystical Order Ministries, I greet you with profound joy and spiritual affection as we enter into this sacred season of Christmas. It is my privilege and honour to extend to you my warmest wishes for a law-abiding, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ bring renewed hope, divine blessing, and transformative grace into every aspect of your lives. Christmas commemorates the most pivotal moment in human history—when the eternal Son of God humbled Himself and entered our world as a helpless infant. This divine condescension reveals the heart of our God: a heart that loves deeply, forgives completely, and desires an intimate relationship with each of His children. The birth of Christ was not merely a religious event; heaven declared that God has not abandoned humanity but has come to dwell a...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE

  HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey Children of the Faith, Gratitude is the key that unlocks the fullness of God’s blessings. A thankful heart turns what we have into enough and more. It recognizes God’s hand in every circumstance and magnifies His goodness beyond measure. Gratitude is not merely a response to blessings received but a lifestyle that colours our perspective and strengthens our faith. In The Mystical Order, let us cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving in every season. When trials come, let gratitude be the lens through which we view them—as tools for growth and deeper reliance on God. When blessings abound, may our hearts overflow in praise and generosity. A thankful heart brings joy and peace, binds us together in humility, and stands as a testimony to the world of God’s faithfulness. Let us give thanks in all things, knowing that this is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus. Today, renew your commitment to gratitude. Let your prayers be filled with thanksgiving and your lips wit...
