This I Know




"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." - Job 19:25-27

Dear Friends,

The choir sings a song that asks the questions: "Do you know Jesus? Does He live in your heart?"  It is such a beautiful song.  It is made even more beautiful when you can wave your hand and offer a silent or audible amen.  Yes, I know Jesus! Yes! He lives in my heart.

The enemy loves to haggle Christians into playing a guessing game.  Salvation is not a guessing game.  My Pastor spoke in his sermon today about the finished work of Jesus Christ.  Hanging on the cross, making the ultimate sacrifice for you and I, Jesus spoke these words "it is finished."    It is already done.  We cannot add to or take away from what has been settled at Calvary.

Think about the power of Job's testimony, he had faith in the Savior yet to come.  This is true faith.  This the substance of things hoped for.  This is the evidence of things not seen.  Today,we stand on the promises of our Lord .  As for me, I know also that  My Redeemer lives.  I know that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.  I know that heaven is real and one day I shall see God for myself.

It is this truth, it is this consolation that fuels me.  It is this evidence that prompts me to tell others about the Lord.  It is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that drives me to encourage Christians to think about HEAVEN.  Heaven is our home. It is our destination.  It is important to keep it always in view.  Jesus told us that He was going away to prepare a place for us, that where He is we might be also.

While we are here it is our duty to be salt and light.  While we are here the Lord will take care of us. While we are here we have been given everything we need pertaining to life and godliness empowering us to live for Christ.

I know it was the blood...they pierced him in the side...He never said a mumbling word...the blood came streaming down...He hung His head and died...He rose up from the grave...He's coming back again.  My Redeemer lives.

 This I know.

 in Christ.

Adds Up…

  2 Peter 1:5   “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” One of my hobbies is making yarn wreaths.  The wreath frame symbolizing an unbroken circle and an eternal hope. As I tie each double strand of yarn I consider the blessings  of the “tysthatbind”  Adds up… Love+ Faith+ Hope+ Mercy+ Grace+ Peace= Diligently,  Continually  Seeking  to  Add to my faith virtue,  And to virtue knowledge Adds up… God bless.♥️  In Christ, Sis.

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
