Amen! :)

Yes, God bless Israel!

Thank you! Glory to God!

What a kind thing to say! God bless you for encouraging me!!!!! (And with words like Psalm119, any voice would sound good lol:)

Amen

Thank you so much for letting her know, Felicity! Mrs. Val said, “Please tell her thank you and I’m so glad the story keeps being heard, for His glory!!”

@@isaiah53design 💖🙏

Amen, sweet friend! I miss you!

Oh thank you!And may God bless you for your kind encouragement! He is sooooo good.

Well said, Mr. Kurt! And one more thing-he makes good friends! Specially the motorcycle riding kind :)

@@isaiah53design Amen!

Praise the Lord, Mama!! Thanks for teaching me to memorize God’s word and teach my kids!

Thanks for your beautiful comment, Glenda! I sent it to Mrs. Val and she said she’ll have to look it up-it was in one of her Bibles that she wrote in a long time ago. And I believe “Me, Obey Him?” was actually written by Elizabeth Rice Handford. It has also been a great blessing to me, too! For anyone who hasn’t read it, here’s a link: archive.org/details/meobeyhimobedien00hand

Thank you so much for your precious comment! Here’s Mrs. Val’s reply: Wonderful! Please tell her “I’m so grateful for the Lord gifting him and my mom with such spiritual hunger and serious commitment! So glad the story is still blessing people!”

Wow, praise the Lord, Felicia! Thank you so much for commenting. I’ve passed on your comment to Mrs. Val, and I’m sure she’ll be as encouraged as I was reading your words. God bless you as you train those sweet kids to serve Him! Jer. 32:38-41

God bless you, Nik!

God bless you, Ki Ji!

Hey Mathew, that is awesome you memorized it! I rather like it as written, which is why I wouldn’t change “quicken.” I get it sounds old, but that’s part of the gold. So much depth in those old words is hidden. :)

Mathew, you are the first person outside of my family to tell me you’ve memorized Psalm 119 after watching this. Thank you so much for telling me. I can’t tell you what it means to me!!!

​@@isaiah53design but books are written to be understood no? The target audience were Christians in the 1600's.

@@Rolando_Cueva I hear you. But using “quicken” as an example, the meaning is far more nuanced than just using the word “life.” I’ll let y’all look up why, since exegesis is beyond the scope or goal of this video. We could also say doctors shouldn’t use Latin words because it’s from Ancient Rome, but using Latin affords the experts far more precision than is available in our modern, dumbed-down vernacular English. So too using English from the time it was still precise (albeit with unfamiliar vocabulary) only enhances our understanding. That is one of many reasons I love it and lean on it. Maybe that’s why kids who read the King James Version score higher on standardized tests. Makes sense. Thanks for commenting, Rolando. I’m honored!

Doesn’t she?! It’s amazing: when we share the gospel, God rewards us by teaching us from the people we are teaching. What a wise God!

YES!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Ramona. God bless you!

Amen, Vanessa. Thanks for watching and commenting! God bless :)

God bless you-thanks for commenting!

Amen, Hephzibah!

@@isaiah53design i can really relate in regards tonwife that tries to change her husband. I am trying to unlearn that, but its not easy when one have bunch of expectations on the back of her head... Any practical steps towards freedom from this pattern you could share?

Ask God for wisdom and profound thankfulness that this man, just as he is, loves me, just as I am. I’m still learning but those words were what a much wiser woman told me and they work!

Maybe try refreshing the page?

Amen, Bev! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you so much for commenting, Joanna! God bless you.

Thank you, Maria! God bless!

Thank you, Carol!

AMEN, Kamei!

Thanks, Gary. God bless

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your memories!

I love it too!

Amen! Me too!! God bless :)

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your memories! So cool that one day in heaven we can all share our memories and connect all the dots. Because of Jesus! Let’s praise Him!!

Dear God, You see Carol and Johnnie. Please bless them and their marriage. Please draw Michael and Crystal and the children to Yourself. Open their eyes to Your love for them and the truth of the gospel and all of Your word. Please convince Carol of Your love for her, and fill her heart and mind with Yourself so she is no longer sad with her weakness in the light of Your strength. Thank You for Jesus. Please raise up prayer Warriors to pray for this precious family, and use them in their overcoming to pray for others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Mrs. Val replied, “Wonderful!”

I respected her for many things, but I agree, I don’t think she made others, besides her husbands, perhaps, very comfortable around her. She had flaws and her very strict personality. Order, is a good thing in principle, but one can take it so far that a human joy is missing. I had similar upbringing, not to that extent, and am still very uncomfortable around my parents. I have fought hard to allow Jesus to help me accept others as is, while maintaining my conviction based on Bible Truth. ❤️

They say for each of us, there are about a third of the people who love us, a third who can’t stand us, and a third who don’t care one way or another. May God give us all the grace to love those who love us and those who don’t alike. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gina. God bless you!

Interesting perspective, Raminakai. Isn’t God good to use us just as we are, flaws and all? What a merciful God. Have a wonderful day-God bless! :)

When all is said and done, may it be said that we walked with Jesus in faith whether in a spectacular journey or a quiet one. He is the Hero in the Elliots’ story and in ours, as I’m sure Jim and Elisabeth would agree. He is the Spectacular Author and Finisher of our faith who knows how to add twists and turns to our personal stories, even allowing plots that hurt our hearts and remove ugly flaws and ultimately birth beautiful things into our lives. May He bless and keep you too!

@@isaiah53design Hallelujah this was timely and thank you for the blessing from the throne🙏🏻

Praise our timely God!!!

Praise the Lord! I’m glad you liked it! Interestingly, I’m finding that the KJV has a lyrical flow and cadence that lends itself to many familiar tunes. Your comment made my day!

KJV hard to sing? You really think so?

Amen to that! I’ve sent her the message :)

Thanks! Praise God 🙌

WELL SAID!

Amen!

Thank you!!

Thank you, June! I will pass along your message to Mrs. Val.

Wow, so well said. Thank you so much for this insightful comment!

So well said! Thank you for watching and commenting! God bless :)

I am in agreement with your words, ... "[t]he more the world grows evil and moves away from God, the more the Light of Jesus Christ shines and the beauty of the Gospel of peace and salvation grows brighter each day" ... as illustrated by the following prayer using caps as emphasis. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏🏾👏👏🏾👏👏🏾 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏🏾👏👏🏾👏👏🏾 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned inorder for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌🙌🏾 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌🙌🏾 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

She did! :)
