Happy Birthday Stephen 💖 I hope you had a beautiful celebration with all of your family & we're reminded of how much God has done through you, not just in the many years of your dedication to Jesus in ministry but also the powerful impact you have had on your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. You are a blessing 🧡
Thank you, Emma. Those are kind words. I want to be remembered for one thing - that I was faithful and dedicated to my love for Yeshua and His eternal commission to prepare the masses for the Rapture and His Second Coming.
70, a milestone. A blessed life as you reveal to us your journey through this life. Not our home, praise be to God, our Father.
Looking back, He reveals more & more of where, until now, not seeing, where He was always there. My gratitude grows each day and culminates in me wanting to share Him! His story working through my life. My testimony. It never seemed worthy of sharing until He revealed Himself, in mine & yours & and other saints & those He wants us to introduce Him to!! His hope for the world. Yeshua.
His showing you early, and your sharing His Strength working in you, brings hope to a soul!!! He is good, and didn’t let your story or mine go without it blessing another, by our steadfast faith in Him, a sharing Him.
You and others, right here in SubStack, have helped me, many times. The encouragement from @Hephzibah and others are a blessing!! Thank you!
Yeshua hasn’t wasted a trial in my life for His Glory. When you expressed the trials in your life that produced bouts of hopelessness & despair I’ve encountered. Being used in my life, by Our Lord to give me understanding, I must die, for Him to live in me. I struggle with control, or thinking I can. It has been a lifelong struggle, that I praise God for leaving me in despair. For using what appears bad, for good. And praise be to God, he multiplies the good. Through you, me and all that submit to Him, He will out give us EVERY TIME in all things.
Love the revelation that Happy comes from happenstance. May your birthday continually bless you & others, as He wills & works through us!! Children of the Most High. Sit at His feet and be blessed.
Well, Debi, you have clearly described the victorious Life in Yeshua! Thank you for sharing these life-changing truths with me and our community. Recently, I had to reapply these profound truths as I traveled to the East Coast to comfort my eldest daughter, whose husband ("X") has been abusing her for years. It was gut-wrenching. I would appreciate your prayers.
Happy 70th birthday Sir brother Stephen Phinney! You are a walking miracle! Thank you for sharing a snapshot of your life from birth, your formative years, to now, truly every day heavenly father has blessed us with life is a day to celebrate! And letting us know how only discovering Christ Jesus & Heavenly father and their great love for you has given you the truth of your very purpose and who you truly are in relation to Almighty Creator God & whom He has created you to be in Him.
Though of course I have not physically met you, you have blessed me many times with your unwavering love and passion for heavenly father and not to compromise nor bend to the prevailing culture or give into the demands of this lost God forsaking world, yet having a heart for the lost, and Jesus' body of brothers & sisters alike, though I may not come into agreent with all your non salvational understandings, I truly do love you as my brother in Christ Jesus. I Thank Heavenly father for you & your patience, compassion, empathy, and understanding, remaining resilient and living a Godly honouring faithful life with every breath you take & are blessed with. Thank you. May your rewards be great in heaven and the greatest gift of all is Heavenly father Himself until you behold him face to face & He says to you 'wdll done good and faithful Son!'. May your day today be filled with His overpowering presence and spirit and incredible joy and that laughter, love & peace be heard & ripple throughout this glorious day in every act and word, surrounded by your family & loved ones. I am with you in spirit and in prayers. May heavenly father continue to bless you and all you do in His name to glorify & exalt Him, amen.
Just now, over my Birthday breakfast, I told Jane that you were one of our most faithful readers and how blessed we are to have you in our community. Thank you, my blessed sister. I always smile when I see you post comments. You are a true and honorable woman, and both Jane and I are encouraged by your life. We are forever grateful.
