To Him That Overcometh


"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go no more out." To be as immovable as a pillar in the house of our God, is an end for which one would gladly endure all the shakings that may be necessary to bring us there! " --Hannah Whitall Smith


I can't believe I read the above this morning in my devotional..So timely...This verse from Revelation she is referring to has been on my heart since Easter Time. Wow. My heart has wings with hope. Thank You!


Revelation 3:12
He that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

 This Spring I  learned the contemporary Hymn, 'O The Blood' sung by Kari Jobe.  The song brings something fresh to my heart. A pondering upon Him who overcame sin and death for me. Thankful there is a power given through the blood of Calvary. Not just the resurrection power to overcome that final death and live forever with Christ but the power afforded me through the blood at Calvary for my daily living.'The Blood that gives me strength from day to day will never loose its power'. It meets me in the daily grind of life, in the rubber meets the road issues that I am facing today. I can be of good cheer because He has overcome the world. I will rise above this world full of tribulation and He has made it possible to rise above the misty lowlands again and again and again because of grace upon grace upon grace.

 "And he shall go out no more"

 We move in many different directions at times in futile attempt to meet the deep needs of our own hearts. We go in and out. We look here and there Ever dissatisfied. Living on 'flat potato chips.' that have lost their saltiness. May the day come when we go in and out no more..but go in and never leave..no more wandering.

"Prone to wander I can feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart Lord take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above."

May My name be changed ..my' DNA' reordered. Draw me and I will run afresh..MAKE MY FEET....to run once again. Hungry to be Hungry again or I will die of  lazy stagnation and famine here. Same pitiful story different day. The problem is me. You have always delivered me from me, you will again.


 To the over comers!  Be brave strong and courageous...He is with you wherever you go.

We daily press to some degree and are pressed on every side.  May we be pressed for His glory like wine to the presser. An old song stated that the Hungry man didn't pick and choose he just went where there was bread and he pressed through. It is a humbling thing to return sometimes with your tail between your knees begging for bread in order to hear a word that brings life and fresh stirring. Oh Lord you have the words of life, where else would we go? May we all be in that good company of hungry men; men hungry to be hungry, men thirsty to be thirsty, pressing upwards and onwards unto that high calling in Christ.

When Patriotism Becomes Worship and We Don’t Even Notice

  https://baptistnews.com/article/when-patriotism-becomes-worship-and-we-dont-even-notice/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLYuSdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHp_DyT3kMbTGShsQLE2CBHujma7IgZdGW2mWRBFeeU8lOUruC4WCj1vgEFFL_aem_U7lr3050XPUiM7WLAs0pJg “When Patriotism becomes Worship and we don’t even notice.” So grateful to find this article I sort of think it found me laugh a lot. What other people do is none of my business but for years I’ve been wrestling with some of the trends and level of politics and patriotism within the church. . But this article speaks my language it resonates with my spirit and shares my concerns. So for now, all Is at rest and Jesus He’s The only answer. Maybe someone out there feels the same way I do. I hope this post finds you and this article encourages your heart like it did mine. You aren’t crazy  Pray 🙏 That’s why you see it the way you do.

Thank You Lord !

  https://firmfoundationpv.org/worship-103-genre-and-style-in-church-music/ Lord you answered all my questions, Thank You. You Counsel us with Your loving eye upon us. Psalm 32:8 I remember many years ago when The TV show American Idol began. One of the finalists shared kind of an awkward song well it just sort of seemed out of place. It was unfamiliar , extremely personal, beautiful, but it really fell flat. He even sang it like he was sort of alone in the room and we were all just watching his personal  moment. It left me just sitting there scratching my head. When  he finished it was then time for the judges to give their input. Simon Cowell really shockingly scolded him and said that his choice of music was “self-indulgent. “ What does he mean by that ? I thought about it Took me a while I think I know what he meant and I never forgot it. He forgot who he was singing to he forgot he had an audience. It wasn’t only about him, but who he was singing to and for. …….,so m...

Cheryl's FaceBook Quote

"Dark is life's way, for the night is not yet o'er; the longed-for glimpse I may not meanwhile borrow; But, this I know, He goeth on before." All our supply is to come from the Lord. Here are springs that shall never dry; here are fountains and streams that shall never be cut off. Here, anxious one, is the gracious pledge of the heavenly Father. If He be the source of our mercies they can never fail us. No heat, no drought can parch that river, “the streams whereof make glad the city of God.
