My favorite female singer of all time. She interprets songs without screaming or overdoing it. I can only imagine what would happen in a regular church service and Sister Mason standing and singing this song. She is a treasure to the body of Christ.
She graduated from the same university I went to, Spring Arbor University! She also came back, as she still does yearly, she performs and does a song-writing workshop. I attended it one year and she's one of the kindest and Christ-like people I've ever met!
I thank God that we are not in ignorance of what the saints will be doing in Heaven where no night, pain. sorrow, sickness , evil, loss or lack exists. They are enjoying the presence of Jesus!!!
Beautiful, I do wonder what my mom, father, brothers, aunts, uncles and my only son doing in heaven, I miss them all, but I'm comforted by Christ Jesus .
Lost my mom almost a year now I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes but I know she’s in a better place god’s giving me peace of mind so I’m just been humbled in his sight thank you lord Jesus amen
Praise the Lord! The story is told that D L Moody said, "When I get to Heaven, I want to spend the first 1,000 years looking on Jesus' face." PRAISE THE LORD! Those in Heaven now are in peace, no sin and no sorrow. No sickness, pain, PURE JOY IN THE LORD! 'Even so, Come Lord Jesus.' \o/ Thank you, Babbie Mason. Such a beautiful voice for our King of glory, JESUS! + + +
I wonder what my mother,father,brothers, my son ,aunts and uncles,doing in heaven right, as a believer I know they are sitting around the great white throne of God, I give God All the Praise and Glory knowing I shall see them again and then I'll really know what they are doing up there .This song touches me as I recently loss my only son, please pray for me.
I just bounce in this song. It jogged my memory to my grandparents who died but they had a living hope in Jesus. I also remembered a few other Christian friends who has passed on. And the question is asked what are they doing before the throne today. It must be a glorious sight.
This version of I Wonder What Are They Doin' In Heaven Now was written at the Plum family reunion in 2001. The song was written in Plumerian and edited for the funeral of Lillie Knaul's sister Faeola King. The edit to the first verse was written by me. The second verse was written by Babbie Mason who sung the edited version of the song at Faeola King's funeral. Faeola was diagnosed with asthma in the summer of 2000. She was given an inhaler and developed an addiction to the strongest inhalent which was comparable to houghing spray paint. The treatment didn't help her breathing at all and Faeola had severe withdrawals when she stood using her inhaler. When she went to the local hospital for treatment she was given a shot of sodium pentathol which caused a heart attack that she died from. She died on Easter morning in 2001.
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know, Who lived and suffered in this world below But they've gone off to heaven, but I want to know What are they doing there now? Oh, what are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? Peace abounds like a river, they say. But what are they doing there now? There's some whose hearts Were burdened with care They paid for their moment with fighting and tears But they clung to the cross trembling in fear But what are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? Peace abounds like a river, they say. What are they doing there now? And there's some whose bodies were full of disease Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease But they suffered 'til death brought a final release But what are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? Peace abounds like a river, they say. What are they doing there now? There's some who were poor and often despised They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes While people were heedless and deaf to their cries But what are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? Peace abounds like a river, they say. What are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? Peace abounds like a river, they say. What are they doing there now?
Wonderful song, 1st time hearing it thanks to Dr Denton Black for sending it to me and I wonder what they are doing right now in heaven. I presume with Mom and Dad together there's rejoicing, hallelujah 👋👋

I wonder what Mama Joan, Grand Pa Dickson, Odedo and Oyola, Grand Ma Jesica,Uncles; Dr. Ojwang, Okomo. Hope they are admiring and praising our Lord Jesus Christ
I Wonder, 'What Are They Doin' In Heaven Now?' was written as a tribute for Faeola King and Kurt Reif Jr. Faeola King was a younger sister of Lillie Knauls. They were the last two Swahili princesses. Kurt Reif, Jr. would have been the heir to the throne of Australia. If the Axis had won World War I the plan was for Kurtis Reif (Sr.) to take the throne at age 20. He was only 4 when his father died so his oldest sister, Marie, reigned. The heir went to Slovenia and married a cousin there. The family was forced to flee into Greece when the Nazis advanced into the Balkan Peninsula during World War II. Since Kurt Jr. was circumcised he had to be careful to avoid ethnic cleansing of the Nazis. The family thought they would be safe in Greece but a member of the Greek Royal family ran a publicity campaign for the Nazis and clandestinely took Greek Jews up into the Balkan Peninsula, where they were interned in Concentration Camps. So the Reif family was forced to flee to the Island of Cyprus. They prayed they would be safe there. Kurt Reif Sr. was executed by Shiite Muslims just after immigration to the United States had been approached under the Holocaust Survivors Act. The remaining family was forced to remain in Cyprus and they had to reapply for admission to the United States. The family went into hiding. They were finally granted entry into the United States when Kurt Reif Jr. was 19 and his sister was 16. They lived in New York City and Kurt attended Columbia University. He was only permitted one son. His wife was a Goshgarian from Boston. Kurt went Harverd Law School. His wife was and murdered just before his graduation from Harvard Law School and immigration ordered him to go to Roswell, NM. He said was ordered to marry a divorced woman named Lori Reiga. Lori arranged tutoring for Kurt Reif III. He went to Columbia University and married another daughter of Holocaust Survivors who grew up in Milwaukee.She was granddaughter of Oscar Guscarian's oldest son Artaxi Guscsarion. Kurt Reif Jr. had a named Alana before the courts in New York said that the marriage wasn't valid since both parties were college student who were residents of another state. The court ordered Kurt Reif III to enroll at the University of New Mexico and his wife was ordered to enroll at Marquette. Both of them were required to remarry within a year. Kurt Reif, Jr was upset because Alana was ordered to go to Milwaukee with her mother. His son was forced by immigration to marry a woman from Arizona who was member of the Persian mafia. The family moved to Phoenix and Miranda Reif was born there. Immigration then ordered that the two sisters should be together so Alana went from Milwaukee to Phoenix to be with her father. Alana was mistreated by members of the Persian mafia. At this point Kurt Reif Jr. filed a petition to gain custody of his granddaughters. He was granted custody when Alana was 6 and Miranda was 2. Their father was most likely murdered by the Person mafia in Phoenix because he opposed the Gentleman's Clubs which they ran. Miranda's mother kidnapped both girls. Alana was going to be forced into poll dancing in one of the clubs but she managed to escape. I was flight attendant for Southwest Airlines at the time and I was eating a late dinner at a restaurant near the club Alana ran out of. I took Alana into the bathroom and gave her my sweats put on. We waited in the bathroom for more than an hour until the Persian mafia left. I had ordered a cab and we went to my hotel room. I was able to call Lori Reif and she came to Phoenix to meet Alana. As a flight attendant I took Alana into the employee break room where she could safely wait for Lori while I was required to continue my scheduled flight attendant route. Alana eventuallly was able to marry a member of the Cypriot Royal family. Kurt Reif Jr questioned why Jehovah allowed so much suffering. He did regularly attend Gospel Assembly Church in Carlsbad, NM and he knew Faeola King. Both of these Royals suffered greatly. But both of them did their best to love God through it. There were many people in Carlsbad who turned out for thier joint funeral which was held in the Community Park. The song I Wonder, 'What Are They Doin' In Heaven Today?' was sung by various Gospel musicians who showed up to remember these special Royals. No eulogy or preaching was permitted but this song was sung continously as people gathered in the park to pay their respects. The joint funeral was on July 4, 1993. The song was written the night before at the Plum family reunion which was held in Carlsbad that year. I first three lines of the song in Plumerian. Then Richard Plummer added the next line. Richard Plummer and I co-wrote the chorus. The next verse was written by Lillie Knauls in tribute to her sister. Faeola was diagnosed with lung cancer the previous summer. She was only breathing treatments and strong inhalers. She actually died from drug withdrawals. She stopped using the inhaler which was a form of opium combined with mercury for an airborne form. Faeola King suffering greatly her last year of life. The verse written by Lillie Knauls was written in Swahili. I translated the chorus into Austrian. Faeola's daughter Voncielle King translated the chorus into Swahili. Joseph Calderon translated the chorus into Portuguese. Alana Reif translated the chorus into Spanish. The last line was translated into German by Willard Bone.
My objectives using wonderful words of life found in the attached prayer for unity is to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with life is brokered with fragility, sadness and anxiety. 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. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners 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 seeks 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 movie, 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 doors 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, 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? 🥰
Karla Roberts no they aren't. But are great friends and both are great artists! I love Babbie! Met and sang with a few times in my life and she's just a sweet sweet soul!❤️

Well sung beautiful
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know,
Who lived and suffered in this world below
But they've gone off to heaven, but I want to know
What are they doing there now?
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
But what are they doing there now?
There's some whose hearts
Were burdened with care
They paid for their moment with fighting and tears
But they clung to the cross trembling in fear
But what are they doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?
And there's some whose bodies were full of disease
Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease
But they suffered 'til death brought a final release
But what are they doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?
There's some who were poor and often despised
They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
But what are they doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?

We waited in the bathroom for more than an hour until the Persian mafia left. I had ordered a cab and we went to my hotel room. I was able to call Lori Reif and she came to Phoenix to meet Alana. As a flight attendant I took Alana into the employee break room where she could safely wait for Lori while I was required to continue my scheduled flight attendant route. Alana eventuallly was able to marry a member of the Cypriot Royal family. Kurt Reif Jr questioned why Jehovah allowed so much suffering. He did regularly attend Gospel Assembly Church in Carlsbad, NM and he knew Faeola King. Both of these Royals suffered greatly. But both of them did their best to love God through it. There were many people in Carlsbad who turned out for thier joint funeral which was held in the Community Park. The song I Wonder, 'What Are They Doin' In Heaven Today?' was sung by various Gospel musicians who showed up to remember these special Royals. No eulogy or preaching was permitted but this song was sung continously as people gathered in the park to pay their respects. The joint funeral was on July 4, 1993. The song was written the night before at the Plum family reunion which was held in Carlsbad that year. I first three lines of the song in Plumerian. Then Richard Plummer added the next line. Richard Plummer and I co-wrote the chorus. The next verse was written by Lillie Knauls in tribute to her sister. Faeola was diagnosed with lung cancer the previous summer. She was only breathing treatments and strong inhalers. She actually died from drug withdrawals. She stopped using the inhaler which was a form of opium combined with mercury for an airborne form. Faeola King suffering greatly her last year of life. The verse written by Lillie Knauls was written in Swahili. I translated the chorus into Austrian. Faeola's daughter Voncielle King translated the chorus into Swahili. Joseph Calderon translated the chorus into Portuguese. Alana Reif translated the chorus into Spanish. The last line was translated into German by Willard Bone.
Amen

My objectives using wonderful words of life found in the attached prayer for unity is to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with life is brokered with fragility, sadness and anxiety.
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. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners 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 seeks 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 movie, 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 doors 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, 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? 🥰
