We Have Heard the Joyful Sound! - Week of December 2, 2018

Psalm 89:15-16 King James Version (KJV)

15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Dear Friends,
The joyful sound is the sweet music of salvation.  It is the sound within the soul of the born again Christian filled with assurance of sins forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The joyful sound is the realization of what a profound love, love beyond measure that God bestowed for: God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son... John 3:16 cf
The joyful sound is a symphonic melody that rings true throughout the Word of God.  Jesus is Our Everything.  Joyful He is.  Wonderful. Everlasting.
The joyful sound is a song of comfort as the Holy Spirit reminds us that we are never alone. No, never alone.
The joyful sound is one that Priscilla J. Owens wrote about over one hundred years ago when she penned the words to the song To the Utmost Jesus Saves.
We have heard the joyful sound.  Jesus saves.

1 We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves!
Spread the gladness all around:
Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land,
climb the steeps and cross the waves;
onward! ’tis our Lord’s command:
Jesus saves!
2 Sing above the battle strife:
Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life,
Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom,
when the heart for mercy craves;
sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
Jesus saves!
3 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free;
highest hills and deepest caves;
this our song of victory:
Jesus saves!


To the utmost Jesus saves.

To the utmost Jesus saves.

He will pick you up and turn you round.

Hallelujah. Jesus Saves.

  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.

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...
