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.

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
