Encouraged in Christ

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Song of Encouragement“This World Is Not My Home”

“The Holy Spirit, when It moves in, It takes God’s big bulldozer, and comes down and digs that old alley up, throws the dirt out, buries it in the sea of forgetfulness, and terraces off a nice big place, and puts up a great big mansion; and He lives there. And the flowers of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, and mercies, and kindness, and faith is blooming around this house.Glory!” WMB

“El Espíritu Santo, cuando entra, toma la gran excavadora de Dios, y baja y excava ese viejo callejón, tira la tierra, la entierra en el mar del olvido, y construye terrazas en un lugar grande y bonito, y levanta una gran mansión; y Él vive allí. Y las flores del amor, el gozo, la paz, la paciencia, la bondad, la misericordia, la amabilidad y la fe están floreciendo alrededor de esta casa.Gloria!” WMB

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Psalm 55:1

~

Escucha, oh Dios, mi oración, y no te escondas de mi súplica.
Salmo 55:1

So I’ll cherish the old rugged crossUntil my trophies at last I lay downI will cling to the old rugged crossAnd exchange it some day for a crown

Then when we pray, we must have the Token to present with our prayers, as I said, and now believe for ourself and apply the Token to the whole family, like in Egypt, Jericho, or either in Acts 16:31. We find out that Paul told the Roman centurion, say, “Believe thou, and all thy house shall be saved.” Apply It to your family. If you got an unsaved child, lay the Token right on top of him, say, “Lord God, I claim him.” WMB

Entonces cuando oremos, debemos tener la Señal para presentarla con nuestras oraciones, como dije, y ahora creer por nosotros mismos y aplicar la Señal a toda la familia, como en Egipto, Jericó, o en Hechos 16:31. Descubrimos que Pablo le dijo al centurión romano: “Cree tú, y toda tu casa será salva”. Aplíquelo a su familia. Si tiene un hijo que no es salvo, coloque la Señal justo encima de él y diga: “Señor Dios, lo reclamo”. WMB

“And sometimes we have more troubles when we become a Christian than we did when we were sinners. Course, It is written, “Many is the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivereth him from them all.” God promised many afflictions, strange feelings, and strange things that would be beyond our understanding, but it’s always done for our good. We just can’t understand it, because, if we did, then it would not be a faith to us; we would go with an understanding. But we do it, and we have it, and we believe by faith, His Word, that it’s going to work some good thing for us.” WMB

When the valley is deepWhen the mountain is steepWhen the body is wearyWhen we stumble and fallWhen the choices are hardWhen we’re battered and scarredWhen we’ve spent our resourcesWhen we’ve given our allIn Jesus’ name, we press on

“Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Delight thyself also in the LORD;
Commit thy way unto the LORD;
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him:
Psalm 37

~

“Confía en el SEÑOR, y haz el bien;
Deléitate también en el SEÑOR;
Encomienda a Jehová tu camino;
Descansa en el SEÑOR, y espera pacientemente en Él:
Salmon 37

Though I struggle, I’ll not stagger;
by His grace I’ll make it through.
For His grace is all sufficient
and I know that God is true!

Though God slay me, yet I’ll trust Him.
I will then come forth as gold.
And I know that He still liveth,
for I feel Him in my soul!

“From start to finish it is all GOD.Let His life be in me.Let it be His blood that cleanses me. Let it be His Spirit that fills me.Let it be His Word in my heart and mouth.Let it be His stripes that heal me.Let it be Jesus, and Jesus Alone.Not by works of righteousness which I have done.No sir. Christ is my life. Amen.” -WMB
