Stand By Me!!! 11/10/24
Lamentations 3:21-23 (KJV)
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
STAND BY ME
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
[Guitar]
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
I woke up this morning, (PRAISE THE LORD FOR AWAKENING AGAIN!!!) with not one, but TWO songs on my heart—one being the above.
TILL THE STORM PASSES BY
In the dark of the midnight,
Have I oft hid my face;
While the storm howls above me,
And there's no hiding place;
'Mid the crash of the thunder,
Precious Lord, hear my cry;
"Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by."
'Til the storm passes over,
'Til the thunder sounds no more;
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.
Many times Satan whispers,
"There is no need to try;
For there's no end of sorrow,
There's no hope by and by";
But I know Thou art with me,
And tomorrow I'll rise;
Where the storms never darken the skies.
'Til the storm passes over,
'Til the thunder sounds no more;
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.
When the long night has ended,
And the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence.
On that bright, peaceful shore.
In that land where the tempest
Never comes, Lord may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
'Til the storm passes over,
'Til the thunder sounds no more;
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.
Hold me fast, Let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.
'Til the storm passes by.
Till the Storm Passes By -Bishop Harry Mushegan
I sincerely HOPE AND PRAY you are able to view the above video posted on YOUTUBE. I thought I had this in my archives and am excited to bring this to light today.
Bishop Harry Mushegan was my MENTOR-the most Godly man I ever knew here on planet earth. It was he who ordained me into ministry way back-WAY BACK on March 29. 1981!!!!!
I spent many WONDERFUL years at his feet and under his tutelage as he taught me HOW to be a Pastor and person-GOD BLESS BROTHER MUSHEGAN'S memory and legacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have weathered many a storm in my 73 years of existence.
Just this morning-as I drove to pick up my granddaughter to care for little Amanda today- JESUS SAVED ME from an automobile wreck as I foolishly paid more attention to my cell phone than my driving.....
How well do I recall the TOO MANY times God/JESUS has spared my life!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN I GET A WITNESS FROM ANYBODY HERE????????????????????
EVERY MORNING!!
EVERY MORNING when I awake I REJOICE!!!!
I REJOICE that Wanda and Amanda and I SURVIVED another night ALIVE!!!
That may sound trite or trivial to some but with my wife and I's declining health due to age issues and little Amanda's lingering medical disabilities, please try to understand the MIRACLE of us STILL being alive!!!
Lamentations 3:21-23 (KJV)
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Oftentimes, in my counseling and attempts to ENCOURAGE the brethren I quote Solomon's wise entreaty:
Ecclesiastes 9:4 (KJV)
4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
I am not able to do and live what many people take for granted. No longer do I even think of going to the beach or spending the night far from home.
The TRUTH is we all live in our own prison. No, there may not be walls or bars restricting our “freedoms” but THIS life does have its unique to EVERY individual its own limitations....
It is how we individually deal with its consequences.........................
DAILY we each must grapple with the fact on whether our cup is half-full OR half-empty!
Ecclesiastes 9:4 (KJV)
4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
I BELIEVE “A LIVING DOG IS BETTER THAN A DEAD LION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
EVERYONE who receives this word today is “BETTER THAN A DEAD LION!”
Just the MERE fact of your reading this means you have an electronic device which further proves that YOU have electricity AND somewhere to safely and FREELY download!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have long since tried to communicate via paper and/or snail mail or even in person.........................
1 Timothy 6:6-8 (KJV)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED??????????????
HAVE YOU LEARENED TO BE CONTENT????????????????
My PRAYER today is for us all:
LORD KEEP US SAFE............TILL THE SOTRM PASSES BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless YOU!!!
