Romans chapter 16

Chapter sixteen, the apostle Paul recognizes those who are called and are contributing to the ministry of furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Whom ever God calls to ministry... they will realize within their heart the sense of divine presence and power and purpose. The Holy presence of God must be considered the only exercise that assures victory over our fear of being used personally by God. Any other consideration is certain to abandon us to the wasteland of uselessness.  It is interesting to note  a very significant way God blesses us... He involves other believers in our lives.  Paul takes note of this as a way of saying:  God bless you.

III  Paul Reassures The Church - 19,27a.  He Praises The Church - vs.19   ...for your obedience...b.  He Prays For The Church - vs.20,27

Paul's prayer for the Church at Rome reveals the pressing issue that will settle you and should never be subtle to you is that God in His sovereignty controls your circumstances. This reality is the peace of God and knowledge that you should not be without (Proverbs 19:2a).
As you meditate on Paul's prayer, ask God to make you sensitive to His presence. God wants you to realize the relationship you have with Him. There is nothing more refreshing than realizing the presence of God. Only then, will you sense a freedom to be honest with God. This is what you need to make you decisive about the will of God for your life. Regardless of what your situation is, God will sustain you. Knowing the liberty we have to cast all our cares upon Christ is a matter of biblical fact that compels our obedience to the work of the gospel ministry of Jesus Christ.
