Blessed Assurance

Not long ago, an insurance agent was at my house. Nothing against insurance. But he said, “Billy, I want to sell you a policy.”
I said, “I got insurance.” He knowed I didn’t have any insurance, earthly. I said, “I got insurance.”
My wife looked around at me as if to say, “What—what’s that?”
I said, “I have insurance.”
He said, “Billy, what kind insurance you got?”
I said.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Borned of His Spirit, washed in His Blood.

He said, “Billy, that’s all right. I recognize that, and that’s good. I—I don’t… That—that’s all right,” but said, “Billy, that’ll not put you in the graveyard up here.”
I said, “But it’ll take me out, brother.” I ain’t worried about getting there. I’m worried about getting out of there is the main thing. I’ll get there somehow, and I’ll come out because of this blessed assurance. Jesus made the promise. I believe it with all my heart.

“Fellowship With God Through Reconciliation”, 56-0120, William M. Branham

Deep calleth unto deep,
In the night time I scarcely sleep.
Why art thou disquieted in me my soul?
I’ve found hope in the Lord of glory;
He has revealed my life’s mystery,
Shown me that I was in His thoughts from times of old

CHORUS
It’s the rising of the sun,
When the children of God on the earth are born;
This Evening Light from above,
It’s nothing less than God’s elective love.

I see Mary, she’s walking slowly,
Along the narrow road that’s dusty,
When the child is born your sorrows will be gone;
“Esther, Esther, touch that sceptre,
With the King you have found favour;”
Anything you do, do it in that name

Samson’s locks are now a little longer,
Faith muscles are becoming stronger,
Between the pillars the Lord will strike His Masterpiece;
Now the Headstone is drawing nearer,
Dynamics are worked in greater measure;
Pulsations of faith will soon create: “Let there be.”

Seven Thunders activating the countdown,
The North Star leads the battle stars to the showdown,
Two hundred million devils will be on the run;
Joel’s mighty army comes on display,
The elements will tremble before them on that day,
For strong is the Lord that executeth His Word

CHORUS
It’s the rising of the sun,
So be not faint when that darkness comes
This Evening Light from above,
It’s nothing less than God’s elective love.

Our hearts are burning with expectation,
For the promised eternal vacation,
Reservations have already been made;
Next attraction, coming soon,
Bridegroom and Bride leave for honeymoon,
On the wings of Love she’ll take her flight thru’ the skies.

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
Ruth 3:18

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:7
