The Epistles of Johannes G. Weiss

Goodness and Mercy In 1970, a team of Asbury College students, who were touched by the Holy Spirit, visited a church on the southern border of Georgia. That church was set on fire by the Holy Spirit also, and in turn, sent a team of young people to our church in Orlando Florida. The same Holy Spirit fire came down upon our church and our entire family of 5 was greatly affected by it The Lord gave me a special promise scripturefor my family to remember always. It was from Psalm 23:6 " Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me allthe days of our lives:and we will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever" We have been singing it ever since and truly have experienced the reality of it. However, we had to discover that the Lord has a differnt and better idea of what His goodness and mercy is for us. It can and does sometimes include some very unpleasant and hard things. Like disasters,sickness and suffering.And at first I did not understand this and I had to learn that His ways are higher than our ways. We learned to trust Him and believe that : all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose[Romans8:28] Our 4 children are married and gone now. My wife died in 2004 and I am close to entering the House of the Lord forever. All 16 of our family are believers in Jesus Christ . Praise Hs Holy Name ! Gratitude and praise overflows our hearts. We are still making melody in our hearts and experienging His Good nes and Mercy . !
